Chapter 36
LUNA'S 15TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
The party, like all the others, was beautiful, Alice had spared nothing. It was huge, full of guests, the best decorations, best buffet, best drinks, best DJs. Although she was cold and didn't know how to get along with her own daughter, she liked to please in her own way. The theme was universe, especially the moon, just like her daughter. But in the middle of the room there was a roller skating rink, the only one requested by her daughter. In fact, the daughter wanted to dance with her father on roller skates instead of a waltz. As they never say no to her. So it would be one dance on roller skates with dad and one with mom.
They had been taking pictures for some time and Luna was getting fed up. She wanted to enjoy the party with her friends, to dance, eat and have fun.
Luna - Daddy, let me go with my friends will you?
Alice - Soon daughter, first you have to receive your guests.
Luna - but I don't know half of them - it's full of partners from Dad's company and work
Tom - Tell you what, stay with us until Granny Martha and Granny Alê arrive?
Luna- mommy?
Alice- ok, but only after they arrive
Soon Martha arrived accompanied by Annie
Annie - how wonderful my goddaughter is, she is the most beautiful birthday girl
Martha - of course she pulled Grandma - hugging Luna -
Luna - then Grandma will wrinkle my clothes like that, but I am beautiful just like you - she kisses Grandma's cheek
Martha- dear, I'm going to the table, can you help me set my table?
Tom - Of course mommy, I'll be right back honey - kisses Alice - behave yourself Luna, wait for daddy to come back even if grandma Ale arrives
Luna - Ok daddy ok .
Annie - why are you angry Lindinha ?
Luna - I want to enjoy my party but my parents are holding me back. They said I can only go after Granny Martha and Granny Ale arrive.
Alice - hang on just a little longer Luna, your grandmother will be here soon - only then Alice realized that Alexandra really was Luna's grandmother and at the same moment she turned pale - "I'm fine.
Annie - Are you okay? Alice are you okay? Luna will call your father - I think your mother is not very well
Then the girl runs after her father
Alice-Annie, now that I've realized that Alexandra has always been Luna's grandmother. Oh my God
Annie - Oh my God I hadn't touched that, what are you going to do?
Alice - I don't know, honestly I don't know. will he come? I don't know what to do with my life Annie
Annie - I think you better find out fast because Alexandra has arrived and Luis is together and there is a boy with them. I wonder if he is Luis' son. Sometimes he got married too. Relax, he came here for work and shouldn't even have known you were you. He hadn't been here for years.
Alice - aaah, I don't know. Where is Tom when I need him the most?
Tom - Here honey - hugging from behind holding him by the waist - are you ok? Luna said she wasn't feeling well
Alice - Yeah, I got a bit dizzy - whispering - He's here, what shall we do?
Tom - nothing, just be polite, fake dementia dear, he can't know about Luna and we can't forget that he is the real owner of the company. We'll see about this later with Calm
Luna - hey stop flirting there, my grandma is here and it seems that there are people with her, who are they?
Annie - Well, that one there and Luis is her ...
Alice - his nothing, he is Ale's son
Luna - so he is my uncle, but that boy? Is he his son?
Annie - I think he is cute right Ms. Luna? You can tell Godmother I won't tell anyone
Luna - auntie stop this nonsense I just want to know who he is. just curious
Annie - just like your mother can not lie, is interested yes, do not judge you is a kitten even. Let's find out who it is.
Ale - Hello my dears, good evening everybody, where is my beautiful birthday girl
Luna - Hi Grandma, you look very beautiful.
Ale - You too, in fact everyone is looking beautiful today and so is the party. darling, I want to introduce my son to you
Luna - hi, my name is Luna - extends his hand to Luis
Luis - my name is Luis Alexander but you can call me Luis or Alex you are very beautiful you know, you look a lot like your mother
Luna - thank you, many say that I look like my mother
Luis - Well, I was about to forget, this is Matteo
Alice - is he your son? Does he look like you?
Luis - ah good evening Alice, good evening Tom, no, Matteo is my son. He is my godson, he is going to spend some time with his godfather, isn't he my friend?
Matteo - good evening, I came to spend some time here while my mother does not finish our move
Annie - how nice dear, welcome here, I hope you like the city. I bet Luna will love to introduce you to the city and her friends. Why don't you go have fun with people your own age and leave the adults here with the boring stuff ?
Luna - ah finally free, thank you godmother, come with me Matteo ?
Matteo - of course - Luna takes his hand and gets lost in the party.
Then the five of them are in a completely uncomfortable mood until Anne breaks the ice
Annie - Luis, how long has it been?
Luis - Well I spent some years looking for the love of my life, when I thought I found it they told me she was dead, I spent the rest of those years out there wandering the world.
Alice - It seems that people who lie have the ability to love
Luis - Excuse me, did you say something?
Alice - I said that
Al - I did not say anything, by the way Monday I will be at the company in the first hour we need to have a very serious talk Maria Alice
Alice - scared but disguised - I'll be waiting for you
Tom - Honey, what if we dance a little?
Alice - Do you mind if we dance later? I'm not feeling very well, I think I'll eat something, I'll sit with your mother, but if you want to dance with Annie, be my guest.
Annie - I'm in, I've been wanting to dance for a while
Ale - shall we go to the table then? I want to talk to Martha, shall we go son?
Luis - Of course, Mom.
Alexandra goes ahead, Tom and Annie were already dancing, Luis was right behind Alice walking to the table
Luis - You look wonderful!
Alice - Thank you, but I don't talk to liars
Luis - Oh come on Alice, give me a chance to explain myself, just listen to me once?
Alice - What's the use of listening to you? It won't change anything if many years have passed. I am married and have my family
Luis - Sad - Yes, I saw, but we could be friends
Alice - I am not a friend of a liar
Luis - Alice - she turns to face him - if you are married and have a family why do you care so much that I lied? Let's work together we have to get along
Alice: "Not necessarily, but don't worry I'm not going to destroy my office on you anymore, you're not worth all this. In fact, you are not worth anything.
Luis - Oh no? If not, why do you have a moon tattoo right there? In fact very sexy between the breasts. I must say that time has been very kind to you, you're even more beautiful than you already were, you're a tremendous hottie.
Alice felt her whole body goose bumps, but she wasn't going to give in
Alice: respect me, you imbecile, I'm a married woman.
Luis: Okay, forgive me, but are you going to tell me that this tattoo is not a memory of those days?
Alice - Of course not, my daughter's name is Luna and I did it in her honor
Luis - Relax Pettit, I will keep your secret with me, we know that it is not a tribute to her. Don't worry, I also have one to remember. I made her face on my back
Dulce - WHAT?
Luis - Yes, I made your face on my back.
