Chapter 10

Aria

“Aria, mi vida, wake up. You’ve slept enough.” My aunt swings open the door and barges into my room. Well, it used to be my room. Now, it’s her guest room.

Shocked awake, I shoot up and nearly fall off the bed. “Isabel! I locked that door!”

“I have the key. It’s 8:30. It’s much too late to still be sleeping.” She marches into my bathroom and starts the bath. It’s been over a year since I moved out, but she can’t stop mothering me. The lines will be blurred until the end of time.

I stomp in after her and shut the faucet. “You don’t have to do these things anymore. I’m a big girl. And I locked that door for a reason. You can’t just burst through. What if I was entertaining a gentleman?” I stand a bit straighter and fiddle with the top button on my pajamas.

She guffaws. “You? A gentleman? Don’t make me laugh. Oh, it’s too late. Please, Aria. You have one friend and I don’t think she likes you very much. My room is right next door. We share a wall. If there was a man in here, I would’ve known and if I couldn’t hear you, for the love of God, dump him. A man should make you scream.” She giggles at my expense and leaves the room.

“Scream? What the hell have I been missing?” I trudge back into my room, plop down on the floor and search through the overnight bag Daddy made me pack in a rush. I want to go home. Isabell knows I’m not sick but she’s holding me hostage until Dad reaches Madrid and signs off on an obligatory check-in call.

“Is my sexy niece hungry? Or is she going to wait until lunch to dress?” She pops back in then dodges a flying sneaker I toss her way.

“Cut that out! I’m getting dressed.” After I scrounge up a pair of shorts, a sports bra and tank top, I head into the shower. I’m never living this down.
