Hello again! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. But since I just finished the original Spanish version ("Oro Puro"), I decided to continue this translation. I would appreciate any comment about this work. I hope you enjoy it!
8. The Meddler
Two days were already left for the event, and everything was unfolding in a way that I never expected.
It turns out that this Stuart is an expert in fashion events. That's right: a fashion event organizer who travels on a black motorcycle and that is loved by the girls. They like how he speaks, his ideas and the collaboration he has given when planning the parade. And the fact that he rides a motorcycle, too.
How did I know all that? Leni told me, without asking, while she was wearing a blouse and shorts outfit that she had redesigned with enthusiasm for the big day. We were in my room: I was delighted by what I saw and disappointed with what I heard. Dang it! That's what they mean by being happy and angry at the same time.
"So, what's the matter? Do you see like any flaw in my outfit? I hope not, I like how it looks!"
She noticed that something was bothering me. I denied it, while sitting in my new bed (a gift from Leni, by the way). But this time she reacted differently. She leaned forward and brought her face close to mine with an exaggerated expression of disbelief.
"What are you doing, Leni?", I had to ask.
"Mmmm... I think I haven't tried hard enough," she answered, and without changing the hard expression, with her left hand she loosened up two buttons of her blouse. The room started to feel quite hot. She stood up straight, turned her back to me, and looking at herself in the small mirror of my room, she smiled.
"Now you liked it, right?" it was her enthusiastic comment, seeing me with a childlike smile.
I was about to give her my sincerest answer when Luna stuck her head out the door.
"I do not interrupt anything! Right, dudes?"
"Hi, Luna", Leni said happily. I didn't say anything, and I'm not sure how flushed my face was at that moment.
"I have good news, dude and dudette!"
And they really were good.
Looking to increase the promotion of the fashion event, Luna suggested contacting her favorite DJ, Jay Rock, to give us the opportunity to promote us on his radio show. And she achieved it! She came to tell us that we could arrive in the cabin this afternoon to announce our parade.
So why did I end up bitter inside the radio cabin, when in fact I was taken there by Leni and Luna because of my ease of expression?
You guessed.
Before leaving, Leni decided to call Stuart and invite him to come, to which he accepted with pleasure. Just when Lori left us at the entrance to the radio station and left, the black motorcycle made its arrival. The guy wore a black leather jacket and a gleaming helmet of the same color. When he took it off, he revealed a face that was less than 30 years old, with a beard of days and brown hair and a little long. It was a midpoint between a European soccer player and a model for life insurance commercials.
"Hey beautiful", he said to Leni. Then he added: "You told me about a girl talented with music... I guess it's that pretty girl".
"Yes! She's my little sister Luna. She knows how to play guitar and she sings very well".
"Nice to meet you, Miss Luna. I'm Stuart Brennan".
"What's up, dude?" Luna Loud greets you", she answered, while giving the sign of the horns.
Then he saw me.
"The famous Lincoln Loud, if I'm not mistaken", he said, and then extended his hand.
"The famous Stuart they talk so much about", I replied as I waved back.
"Hey, what a compliment to know they talk about me. Your amazing sister Leni has told me a lot about you. Especially, about your intelligence".
"I'm just someone who makes plans when there are inconveniences or... unexpected annoyances. You know, so my sisters are always safe.
"And I congratulate you on that. The welfare of someone loved is something we all want. In addition to ridding obstacles for her".
"There will be no obstacles in her way. You can be sure of that".
I guess not one of my sisters understood the dialogue that he and I had. They started to push us into the station. "Stop talking so much!", Luna complained.
Inside the booth, Jay Rock introduced us to his audience with enthusiasm.
"We have visitors in the cabin, dear public! Nothing more than two beautiful girls and their companions. My faithful listener and full-time rocker, Luna Loud, with her sister Leni, a fashion designer who has become very popular on social networks these days. They have come to give us a very special announcement.
"What's up, mates?" Luna said, while Leni watched and played the strange microphone in front of her. "I don't want you to miss this Saturday's fashion event at the Royal Woods Mall. My sister Leni is the creator of the site 'Pure Gold', you know?"
Quietly, Stuart came over and adjusted the microphone for Leni. She smiled with some shyness. I was behind the group, silently, watching the intruder's hands.
"'Pure gold'! Yes, I have entered that page before. In fact, I bet everyone who listens to us has already entered at some time. Are you the one who designs all those incredible garments, Leni?"
"Hello! That's right, I like to design clothes. Although the site and photos were made by my little brother Lincoln. He's totes adorbs, and I don't know what I'd do without him. Say hi, Linky!"
Stuart pounced on Leni's microphone: "I think the audience prefers to hear what you have to say, Leni".
I got between the two, and especially close to my blond sister.
"Hi there, dear public? Just like Leni said, her wonderful designs will be exhibited in an unforgettable show. It will have good music by Luna, the beauty of my sisters Leni, Lori and Lola, and as a special surprise... A model brought from Japan especially for this event!
The girls were surprised, letting out a gasp. Stuart looked confused.
"A Japanese model, too? Wow, I think I'll ask permission to see the event with my own eyes", was what Jay thought about that.
"Some elements are not one hundred percent guaranteed", said the Meddler.
"Like a certain event organizer, for example!" I finished.
It was then that Jay said goodbye to us: "Thank you for your visit. You dropped some info on what could be one of the events of the year at Royal Woods. 'Pure Gold' this Saturday afternoon, Royal Woods Mall. Don't miss it!"
Leni turned her chair to look me in the eyes.
"Mizu-chii", I said with arrogance.
"Yay! Thanks, Linky!", she reacted, and hugged me. Have I ever told you before that I would kill for those hugs?
Stuart had to wait for our loving moment to end.
"I'm a little surprised. You haven't told me about that, Leni".
It was me who answered: "I make plans for my sisters. Never forget that".
