I open the door of the apartment with a resigned expression, thinking to see them angry. Surprisingly, I see them smile at me and Selena takes me in her arms as soon as she sees me and then kisses me on the forehead. As soon as Selena separates from me, it's Steve's turn to hug me. It gives me a lot of pleasure but are not they supposed to be angry? I start asking myself questions about this sudden change of mood, hoping that they thought about it and accepted my relationship with Leo, hence the surprisingly pleasant reunion. Steve and Selena sit in front of me and Cindy on a chair while we are on the couch. Cindy still does not seem very relaxed but my parent's mood being good, I tell myself that there is nothing to fear and that she should release a good fart to relieve the pressure.

Selena looks at my clothes and appreciates them. "You are very cute Lisa, much prettier than in your outfits all leather. Emie could not come, tonight she's having a dance competition."

It's true that I got used to dressing in this more classic to avoid more problems. "Thank you, yes she told me on the phone. As for my clothes, now I like that kind of dresses and It' comfortable, so it's no longer a torture to wear them."

She laughs. "You know that your rendition in the movie is hugely popular in the United States. You became famous my beauty. It seems that your agency in agreement with Isabel Marant will allow you to return to New York a few days after Fashion Week because the requests for interviews are multiplying."

I smile, happy to go back and stay a little near them. "I'm not very interested in the spin-offs of my film and as I have no control over my fan club on the internet, I never go there. The result, I am no idea what critics or the general public think of me as well as my interpretation. In addition, I am too busy at the moment to concentrate on anything other than my training."

"Yes we realized that your freedom in general was too limited in terms of your personal and professional choices and we will try to fix that or at least try to convince them to give you a little more because you will end up to demotivate you if they continue to employ such methods. "

I totally agree with that. "I already told them but nothing changes unfortunately."

Steve scratches his nose. "Lisa, just now we will go for a walk all three. Finally seeing someone would be the right word."

Before accepting, there is something that comes to mind. "Tell how did you get to Paris as fast? And who will we visit? "

Steve laughs. "We have a private plane, my daughter darling, that simplifies things and shortens the duration of the flight. When it comes to the person we will be visiting, it's two people. I contacted during our flight a few acquaintances here and was able to obtain the number of the producer Archeville. I called him, explained the situation and he will also be happy to clarify the relationship between his son and you. His son will of course also be present."

Private plane? But I do not care about the private plane. Why meet his father? "I'm going to die of shame, I don't want to go."

Selena shakes her head. "Lisa, you're at the heart of this story if you can not even deal with it so how can you have a 21-year-old boyfriend?"

Damn she's right. "Well I'll come but I will not know what to say to Leo in such a situation."

Steve laughs. "We're going to talk so do not worry about that. Looks like you've matured and become more responsible. It is a very good thing. By cons, all these journalists in front of the building are unbearable.

I sigh. "There are many less than a few days ago before, I guess they get tired and go away."

Steve shakes his head and then look at Cindy. "By the time we're here, we'll fix that. It should not be up to us to do it, but it can not last. You can not go to High School and even get out is impossible. How to allow this to persist? Take a jacket my beautiful we bring you to the restaurant and you will eat what you want."

Wow, the way he looked at Cindy. I guess she have almost felt the threat but if I can eat what I want, I accept. "With pleasure, it's been so long since I eat like an herbivore that I shit green."

While I hear a scream from Selena, I run to take a thin vest. I aldready imagine a roast beef well fat and chocolate dessert. We leave the house and enter this sublime car that would be theirs when they are come to Paris and here I ask myself the following question. But how rich are they? Anyway, the most important is the restaurant that awaits me and I drool in advance.

13h50, we leave the restaurant in which I almost ate too much and feel a little heavy now. Selena, before entering the car, turns around and warns me that now we are going to Monsieur Archeville's house. Suddenly, I forget my stomach ache which is replaced by a desire to vomit. The more we drive, the more I feel like I know these streets and finally realize that we are in our own neighborhood but in the north. Selena, who has read my astonishment, can not stop laughing and laughing at me. At least she has a smile, which is good for the upcoming meeting. When the car stops, I freeze in my seat and I decide that whatever happens, I will not go out. But once the driver opens the door, not only I realize that journalists are here too but that Selena is about to hit my head as usual. Wanting to avoid that being in front of the cameras of these scavengers, I go out quickly and catch Steve's suit so that the torturer leaves me alone. This time it is he who laughs caressing my head. Although it makes me think that I am a Labrador, I prefer a caress to a slap. We arrive in front of a beautiful four-storey building, Steve rings and a man who responds seriously allows us to enter. Looking at the mailboxes, I see the name Archeville, first floor, door two. You could not live in the fourth so that I could mentally prepare myself? Arrived at the top of the stairs, I try a half-turn as subtle as fast but found myself facing Selena who seemed to expect this attempt to escape which I am customary. Realizing that my destiny is sealed, I stick to Steve while Selena asks me if I really thought this little maneuver would work. Not daring to respond after this sad failure, my feet go into automatic mode while my head is empty and my heart is accelerating dangerously. I see the number one door. My destiny is inexorably close to a test that will be in my life, one of the hardest. Gate two, second escape attempt. I turn around and I'm ready to run but one hand grabbed my shoulder and in front of me Selena frowns.

If I were in a movie, at that moment, I would fall on my knees and scream at the sky asking God why imposes this cruel test to a girl so pure as me. Unfortunately it is not a film but the reality and that I understand it only too late when the door opens and I see a tall man with Leo who smiles at me.
