“You should have told him twice.”
“Ouch!”
“Sorry, but I was looking forward to that party.”
“I know.”
“I’m happy for you and all, but what are we even celebrating here? You didn’t audition anywhere yet.”
She had her fangs out tonight for sure.
“Rosa Vitale insisted for me to go because she is sure I have a real shot at Scala.”
“Oh, how nice.” Ariana drank the rest of her drink and rolled her eyes. “Another thing you’re better than me at. Ballet.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m sorry.”
“You said that before.”
“Well, I don’t like the reminder that I’m two steps behind you at all times.”
“Are we in a competition, Ari? Because I wasn’t informed.”
She looked at me before forcing her lips to smile. “Of course not. We’re like sisters. I’m just pissed at Daddy for making me stay in.”
“Well, maybe he’s doing you a favor.” I hissed, reaching my limit.
“Huh?”
“We both know you shouldn’t go there, Ariana, and we both know why. I don’t think Martino would appreciate the company you’d have at that party.”
Her jaw dropped and she looked at me with something much stronger than merely surprise.
“How do you know who’s going to be there?”
“There are many things that still tie me to Salvatore, Ariana. Get that through your head.” I should have left this out, but couldn’t stop myself. “It doesn’t matter how I know, but I do, and if I can find out, then so can your father. The last thing you want is him knowing that you’re going against the wishes ofhis Don.”
“You sneaky little bitch.”
“Excuse me?”
“Whose idea was this party?” She questioned me.
“I told you, father wanted to…”
“Yes, that’s what you said, but I’m starting to believe that’s not true at all. It was you, wasn’t it?”
She’s got that right.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said, aware of the fact that my words sounded as empty as they were.
“You got pissed off that I get to see Salvatore Fiori while you have orders not to and you pulled the strings to keep me here.”
“There’s a little too much fiction in your story, Ari. Salvatore and I are too much of an old story for anyone to care. I just wanted to point out that what you’re doing is dangerous.”
“Wow, I didn’t think you had it in you.”
