Chapter 5
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
I don’t know why you keep giving me that look.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
I’m not saying anything that you
wouldn’t say to me if the situation was reversed.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
I’ve told you I’ll handle it just fine and I will.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
I don’t doubt that you can handle it
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
I just don’t want you to have
to.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Which is sweet and I adore you for it
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
But you have to understand
why I didn’t do as you suggested.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
I’m a professional.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
I do not let people down.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
The couple would have understood.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
*frowned* Understood that I’d decided to pull
out of organizing their wedding just because my ex is on their guest list?
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Not likely.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
There’s no ‘just because.’ You two were serious about each other.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
You loved him, Lia.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
And that doofus loved you probably still
does.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
What he did hurt you big time.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Yeah a year ago.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
It’s not like I’m hung up on him or
anything.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
You were when I first suggested you pull out of the wedding
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
He and I had only just broken up then.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
Yeah and I get why you chose to still forge on ahead with
organizing this event.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
But I reserve the right to be annoyed by it
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
Because I
know it’s going to sting for you to see him and Carlee together
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
even
though you’re over him.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
And she’ll sit there looking all smug because she managed to lure him back to her.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
If she has the opportunity to throw verbal
barbs at you she will.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(I’d read countless romance books where the female main character
got involved with a dude who had a b!!tch of an ex)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(In many of those novels said ex strived to win the guy back)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(But he’d resist, he’d choose the female
lead character and they’d live happily ever after)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(In real life, though, it didn’t always work out that way)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(Sometimes the man chose his ex even when he swore)
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
You know I’m right
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
She might go ahead and act like a tool
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
But I would never
let something like that stop me from doing my job
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Nor would I let down my clients. Period.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Knowing me as well
as you do
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Did you honestly think I’d agree to pull out at any point?
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
No Neither
did Adelia
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
But we
figured there was no harm in me taking a shot at convincing you.
Daria Ameth (fl friend)
