The arrival

   Cap.3

               The love of the Greek

                        Violetta

         We followed the hallway of the mansion, soon arrived in a very beautiful room, but there was no one...

       This brought me some relief!

      But soon Mr. Lutof started is justified :

       - Violetta I don't think anyone was waiting for us, so I'm going to call the housekeeper to take you to your room, so you can get some rest, but in three hours it's lunch, yes!

      - So until then. - Mr. Lutof!

       I insist on giving a mocking smile.

      "It is still added to my thinking until then Mr. boring."

         But honestly if he wasn't at the table, it would be great!

       Soon comes the housekeeper, who takes me to the room.

     "Oh what a relief, how Dad did this to me? I am stuck on an island without money without my cell phone, because according to Dad I would have many things to solve, like my marriage."

      I haven't even had time to find out about social media yet, but at least I had Giovana to talk to, but now I can't even do that anymore.

        I still don't understand why Dad obeyed, Mr. Lutof, and the employees of our house too.

       Lucia woke me up, and everything was ready, I just had to go down, I could barely eat anything before I went on this trip.

       Greece is beautiful, I have to admit that and the island is beautiful then, but I already hate this place!

      Yeah, as soon as I get the chance I'll get out of here, I still don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll do something without a second thought, to save myself from these marriages.

      As I have no idea what awaits me, I have no idea what to wear, but I soon hear a knock on the door, which opens next.

       A smiling girl passes through the door, who soon begins the conversation.

      - Hello Mr. Violetta, I'm Rose and I was sent to you to help you, I'm going to unpack your bags, but if you need anything else, just say so!

       - Thank you Rose, but I'm fine, and I don't need anyone to unpack my bags.

        - Oh lady, this is my job, please.

        - Okay Rose, since that's how it is, then I'm going to take a shower.

        "I knew I was being too good, to be true, it is certainly a plan by that Mr. Lutof to watch over me."

       Okay at least here I will do nothing, and I will enjoy the good.

      However, when I return to my surprise the fun Rose is singing a beautiful Greek song, I remembered my mother, because she sang the same song, but she is soon scared to see me.

        - Hello, Madam, I'm sorry?

       - Okay, Rose, you remind me of my mother, this song is very old and my mother taught me too.

        - True, Mrs. Violetta, and a very important song sung to all the children, ah lady I already separated a dress for the Lady to dress!

        - Thank you, great, I didn't even know what to wear.

        - Don't worry, sir.  Alexandre asked me to help you.

          - So it was Mr. Lutof, I thought he was my future mother-in-law, not Mrs. Andras, nor did I know of her arrival, but she will meet her at family lunch.

        - Um tell me about her, tell me about everyone, Rose.

       - Madam, I don't know if I can do that.

       - Too bad, I thought we could be good friends?

       - Okay, but it will be a secret between us!

        - Sure, I swear!

        I made a sign of the cross as a form of promise, I will not speak to anyone.

       So Rose told me about the family, while I dressed in the closet, as the family was, and after hearing all the reports I felt even calm, because if everything is true, they are normal at least, but one thing I already knew, that didn't surprise me the boss here is Alexandre Lutof, and my then future husband is just a good life indeed, what a nightmare Dad went to do with me.

      Time passed so fast that I was startled when I saw the time.

      Soon Rose made me go down with her,  I ended up dressing in a white dress with beautiful hand embroidery, and some sequins, a simple model that makes me very feminine, and sophisticated, with long sleeves, and decorate a very discreet heart at the height of your thighs, the back with a bolder neckline, but nothing exaggerated, my wardrobe was acquired by a fashion expert, at least Dad did me that favor.

       This time everyone was waiting for me, and of course Mr. Lutof made a point of introducing me all and finally my then fiance Alexei, he is really beautiful i am surprised, because I liked him and it looks like he liked me, I realized that Mr. Lutof was watching us, but he soon made an excuse saying he had work to do, and so it was gone, your mother soon apologized to me, due to the lack of education of the son, but unfortunately Alexander was like that, always business first of all, she said.

        "How great it won't be missed, I thought to myself, boring is already late."

          Aghata, the younger sister of the family, then asks me?

        - So Violetta, what it's like to study at a boarding school, actually live in one?

         I made a point of telling only the positive side for her, because I didn't want to leave her mouth open with the raw truth.

      For I sincerely do not wish anyone what I went through there, but it is certain that I did a lot of wrong and deserved all the punishments.

      Soon Agatha changes the subject, because she is bored with my stories, and starts talking about marriage about all preparation, and that everything is ready, and that my dress is in her room.

        Alexie looks at me with piercing eyes, he is attracted to me, I can feel that.

      I still don't know what I feel, but he is very handsome, but there is something I cannot understand about him?

     Andras my then Mother-in-law speak :

      - Calm down, Agatha, it's a lot of information at the same time.

        - Give my bride time, I want to take her for a walk, for santorini after you show these wedding things. - Speak Alexie.

      - No sir says: Dona Andras, you know you can't go out with your bride unless you go with your sister! - And no demonstration in public.

       - Ah! Mom stops it, I don't believe Violetta will mind going out with me alone, or showing that she wants me in public.  - It's not really Violetta!

        - No, I don't mind Agatha going with us, and yes, I would like to take a walk!

      - You see mother, so everything is settled. - Alexie says.

      - Okay, let's eat, because then you can go on this city tour. - Andras ends the conversation.

     The tour on the island is really being wonderful, everything is beautiful, although I still hate this place!

    Not to mention that Alexie is charming and I'm enjoying talking to him, we have similar tastes, in fact he is very crazy.

        But soon he tells me, that he is taking me to a party today, but that it is a secret of mine and his.

      "I thought to myself, you know what, why not!?"

          I then asked why white is predominant in the city he explained to me is a way to differentiate the island from the others, thus making the island of Santorini a unique and unforgettable island.

     "I don't think that's all, but I left it alone, because he seemed to be struggling to be gallant.".

          Agatha was always talking on her cell phone, it is at one point that we went for a walk on the beach, but she did not want to go and sat in a kiosk.

      I thought there was nothing much, after all we will soon be married, in five days, less than a week.

      Alexie made a point of taking my hand, and we continued walking on the white sand talking.

      He soon started talking :

       - What do you like to do Violetta, although I know you lived practically in prison at that school!

      - True, but...

    So I decided to open up to him telling my dreams, I like to dance, enjoy, travel, I really like champagne.

      "I don't really know if I like everything I said, but I tried to be an uninhibited girl."

       - I like it too, it's very good, but there are some better things, which you may not know yet Violetta, but if you want I can get you ready today, at the party we are going to?

       - What are you talking about?

      If it's about euphoric pills, I already had the opportunity to prove it, it's an answer, no, thank you very much! - It was only once, and I have no desire to use that kind of fun again!

      - Ah, what a pity...

       I really forgot that you were raised in a convent, you are more Santinha.

      - Maybe, that's it!

       - Hmm...

      You know Violetta, that I'm looking forward to our honeymoon.

       He talks to me and starts stroking my waist, and I soon saw myself in his arms.

      How fast he is, it was the only coherent thought that came to mind, he was so seductive that I didn't even have time to think, because he was already kissing me, I don't know if I like his kiss, although I don't have much to compare because I just kissed Ricardo, but honestly I still have a doubt which is the best kiss, but I still think something is missing?

      For in the novels I read, kisses were described with such enthusiasm, and it seemed something out of orbit, something that made us float.

      However, the kiss did not last long, and it was a relief, Agatha has been running calling us :

      - Let's go Alexie, because Alexandre is already a beast, and Mom just called me.

       - So the boring man is already giving orders.

       "How funny, I think the same, from Mr. Lutof."

     Don't worry, we'll go to the time I decide. - Alexie says in challenge.

        So we still passed the kiosk, had a snack, Alexie made a point of driving when we arrived at almost nine at night, that is, we missed dinner!

       - Don't worry Violetta, we are all adults, and we don't have to give anyone satisfaction, it was just a simple dinner, this is no big deal, and if you want to eat something I can ask the housekeeper to take it to your room?

         - No need, I'm already satisfied.

    He then tries to give me one more kiss, but Agatha seeing the scene already says, that here he better not do that.

         - You, you know Alexie that we are Greek!

     I didn't quite understand what she meant by that, but I was soon in my room and left them arguing.
