FORBIDDEN LOVE?
Lotty: Throughout my life, I have seen strange things, but for my brother to love me
accompanying to buy clothes? that? that is inexplicable, but I really know the reason, there is a
girl. Very pretty, she has class, her hair is curly and dark-colored, almost black, she has
dreamy green eyes, as my brother says, she's really beautiful, but the coward doesn't
dare to speak to him/her.
Angel: She's over there! (says Angel, pointing to her discreetly). -She's beautiful, did you see her?

saying with a smile on his lips).
Lotty: Don't be shy and talk to him, you have nothing to lose. He will just reject you and that's it.
Angel: Don't laugh, Lotty, that's what scares me, but it is understandable if she does, all the
the people around her are very beautiful.
Lotty: Talk to him, maybe he likes ugly ones.
Angel: I don't know why I told you that I liked you, you are annoying.
Lotty: Correction, little brother, you didn't tell me anything, we all here notice how chicken you are.
What are you? Seriously, say: hello, how are you? Take advantage that he is trying to decide between
that horrible styleless black blouse, and that yellow one. Tell her that the yellow one would look better on her.
but don't worry, the one she chooses will look great on her.
(Ángel finally gets encouraged and turns around to go with her. And to annoy him a bit more,
Lotty said to him in a loud tone.
Lotty: Ask him if he has a brother, because did you see those genes?
…
(Angel timidly approaches Dorothy, becomes very nervous, and remembers what his
sister said to her.
Angel: The yellow one would suit you better, it matches your eyes.
Dorothy: Thank you, how kind you are. Do I know you? I think we've met before.
Dorothy: Thank you for the compliment. How rude I am. My name is Dorothy.
Angel: So Dorothy, huh? What a lovely name. My name is Angel. – (extends his hand)
cordially)
Ara: Let's go, say goodbye to this place, it's awful, they don't know how to handle things, by the way, I talked to Mia.
and is waiting for you at the restaurant at 4:00 and it is 3:20 and you still have to change.
Dorothy: Oh, yes, sure, see you later Ángel. -(She said and ran out of the place).
Angel: Goodbye Dorothy. -(I shouted and Dorothy turned around giving him a smile).
Ángel returned with his sister who was anxiously waiting for him to tell her what
had passed
Ángel: Point number one; don't call me 'handsome', and point number two; I think I did well,
her name is Dorothy, isn't it lovely? – (I finish with a sigh and smile).
Angel: I'm a fool, how could I have forgotten, and I don't know when I'll see her again, it's
likely that I won't come back here, oh what luck I have!
Angel: No, there wasn't time, and I don't know if I will see her again.
Lotty: Haha, it really makes me laugh. If you had been encouraged earlier, I would have
given time.
Angel: I know, you don't have to remind me, okay? Pay and let's go home, I'm not in the mood.
humor to continue with this.
Lotty: Hey, look little brother, it’s not my fault that you didn’t talk to him before, so if you want, go ahead,
I still have a lot to see.
Angel: I can't stand you anymore. -(Angel turned around and went home, very disappointed.
what had happened).
Ara: Dorothy, who was that handsome boy? And why didn't you introduce me to him?
Dorothy: Friend, we ran out of the place, I didn't get a chance. His name is Ángel, and
He didn't seem handsome to me, besides I don't think I'll see him again.
Ara: Ángel, don't you know his last name? Didn't he give you his number?
Dorothy: No, Ara. He didn't tell me his last name and I wasn't going to ask for his number.
Ara: And you don't think about me, Am I not your best friend? – (She said annoyed).
Ara: Amiga, how do you think that? Obviously not, it's a joke.
Ara: Dorothy, of course she will like it. You look beautiful. Don't get nervous.
Dorothy: I'm afraid that she will stop loving me, it's that I love her, do you understand? I still don't know.
I say it, but I don't want to pressure her.
Ara: Friend, today marks 6 months of the relationship, and if you love her you should say it. How about if
She doesn't want to tell you because she doesn't want to pressure you either. Maybe her relationship will improve, right?
It's going badly, but maybe it's necessary for them to hear that they love each other. Cheer up, and you must have something very
Present, if he doesn't tell you that he loves you too, it's not bad and you are not pressuring her because it is.
What you feel is important, is that okay? And the moment will come when I tell you.
Dorothy: It's okay, thank you for everything Ara, I love you so much friend
Dorothy: Thank you, I'll let my mom know and I'll go.
Dorothy: Mom, I'm leaving, I'm going out with Mia and Ara, see you later
Altagracia: I don't like you going out with those girls, especially with Mia.
Dorothy: Mother, why are you telling me those things now? I'm running late, goodbye.
Dorothy: It bothers me that she thinks that way, I don't know who put that idea in her head.

wonderful of the whole world, and I know it's too early to say it, but I know it's love
of my life.
(Dorothy entered the restaurant, and she saw her sitting, she stood up upon seeing her and smiled at her).
Dorothy: Hello.
Dorothy: You look beautiful in that dress. I love that it matches my eyes.
Mia: Thank you, beautiful. You're not falling behind, you look gorgeous in that blue dress, which
they also match my eyes, we think the same right? Without a doubt, I love you more every time.

Dorothy: Hello Aunt Veronica. Mother, I will go out with Ara and Mia, don't wait for me for lunch,
Do you want me to buy something?
Altagracia: How many times do I have to tell you that I don't like you going out with those.
girls? You are different when you are with them, especially with that girl, Mia.
Dorothy: Mom, I don't want to talk about that right now, please. Are you going to want that
Altagracia: Yes, bring me some fruits from the store that is across from the kiosk.
Veronica: Look, Altagracia, they are young, that's how they are, well, and to all this, why don't you like them?

Can you believe that? How disgusting, I can't allow it.
Verónica: Well, I understand that you don't like that other girl, how can she betray her
Friend in that way? But don't you appreciate Mia? That girl is sweet and it's clear she cares.

think of this as a mortal sin, and even more unpleasant is that you do not support your daughter in
all this.
Altagracia: You say it so easily, but since she is not your daughter, that's why you take it so lightly.
Verónica: No, and I wish it were so, so that he could feel free in his own house. But I don't...
I feel like having this conversation with you, so I'll call you later. Take care and think about what
we talk.
Dorothy: Hi girls, the one you were crying for has arrived. -Said Dorothy.
(Ara and Mia were already waiting for her a block away from her house).
Ara: Not really. -(Said Ara with a fake smile). - It's not true, we were waiting for you.

Mia: I don't understand why I consider her my friend, if she is the most envious person.

"Ricitos" sounds nice, it sounds flirty, it suits her perfectly.
Oh, don't get angry, my time is too valuable to be wasting it waiting for a

Dorothy: Hey girls, don't argue, Ara is right, I'm really sorry, it won't happen again

Ara: Why does she always have to choose the place? Well, I accept it for two reasons; it's your
girlfriend and it's your car, so, Dorothy where do you want to go? -says Ara laughing.
Dorothy: Ha-ha-ha, well since I have the privilege of choosing, let's go to the kiosk, let's eat a
ice cream and serve that I went through some things for my mom.

Mia loved how Dorothy looked, her laughter, her curly hair tousled by the wind.

Mia: Girls, we have arrived at our destination, my love, do you mind going to get the things that ...
Do you need something and I'll buy your ice cream in the meantime?
Dorothy: Yes, that sounds good, wait for me at the kiosk, I won't be long.
What do you want your ice cream to be? Lemon or chocolate?
Dorothy: What a difficult decision, bring me whichever one you want, you know me better than I know myself,
I trust that you will choose well.
(While Dorothy went to buy her things, Ara and Mia went for ice cream, and they left to
sitting at the kiosk, everything was quiet until Ara made a face of annoyance and
surprise at the same time.
(A while passes and Dorothy arrives to sit with them. Mia gave her ice cream).
Dorothy: What? Of course not, and I didn't want anything, well he asked for my number, but
nothing important. –(When he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Mia to see her)

Ara: How can you be so stupid? He wants to go out with you, Dorothy.
Mia: I don't want you to talk to my girlfriend like that again. In fact, I forbid you to.
you have the right to do it, nor do I so watch your words, she knows perfectly
what he/she does.
Dorothy: Thank you for trusting me, darling. I didn't do it because I was going to have a date with him.
She told me that her sister had designed some dresses, and that she needed a model and me
He said that I would be the perfect model. So I said yes and gave him my number.
Mia: That's fabulous my love, we all realize how beautiful you are.
Oh my God, you are not so pretty, why didn't you tell him no and told him it was me
I would gladly accept. How can you be so stupid and believe him –(Said Araceli turning her back)

Mia: Don't worry about her, she's crazy. And I congratulate you.
Dorothy: Thank you, but you know I don't like you speaking ill of her, maybe she won't accept it.
Mia: What?! I was wrong, she's not the crazy one, you are. Don't do that, you'll miss out on a great
model, and if you want to do it then you must do it.
Sure
Upon arriving home, Dorothy invited Mia to come in and she accepted, but her mom didn't.
took very well).
(Dorothy's mother pulled her by the arm into the living room).
Dorothy: Yes, I don't know why you think badly. I like a guy, his name is Ángel, so please
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Altagracia: Invite him to the house, I want to meet him, if it's true, and I don't want to find out about another.
What, because I had already been told that you like girls.
Dorothy: I'm not going to invite him now, please, and who told you such a thing?
Altagracia: It doesn't matter, go and invite your F-R-I-E-N-D for a drink.
(Who told my mother that? And whoever it was doesn't like me at all. I am going to my
room with Mia and I tell her everything my mother said.
Dorothy: Forgive me, I only said it to get out of that situation, but I still don't know who gave it to you.
he said that to my mother.
Mia: Do you really ask that? It's obvious it was Araceli, she envies everything about you, and I don't doubt it for a second.
A little, he wanted to make your life impossible, so he wouldn't feel so miserable. - (Mia replied very
indignant)
Dorothy: Don't exaggerate, she is my friend. -(She said, without accepting his comment).
Mia: I only say that you should pay attention to how he treats you.
Angel: I urgently need your help. I ran into Dorothy at the kiosk, and it made me sad.
asking for his number, just like that, so I told him that you were looking for a model for some
dresses designed by you. And he/she gave it to me.
Lotty: How could you say something like that?! My dresses are not ready yet, although it is not
bad idea to have a model like her. It's okay little brother, I'm going to help you. Just tell her that
You have to come to take measurements and make some final adjustments to the dresses.
Angel: Thank you Lotty, you're the best. -(I said giving her an excited hug).
(While dialing the number Ángel, she imagined many scenarios of the two of them, and she
I liked her, she is very cute referring to Dorothy.
Angel: Hello? Hi, it's Angel, I was calling to tell you that my sister told me that if...
Could you come to take your measurements and give the final details for the dresses.
Ángel: Umm, does it seem okay if we meet at the kiosk tomorrow? And from there I'll...
Angel: (I couldn't do it, I won't have the chance to talk to her, but I can't tell her
Dorothy: It was Ángel, he told me that, if we could meet so they could take my measurements,
and I told him that, if he could accompany me, and he said yes, now the question is to know if you want to go
with me.
Dorothy: Of course, I don't want to hide it anymore and I want you to be a part of this.
Dorothy: I can't hide it anymore, I don't want to, I don't care what my mother says to me,
I'm just tired of him always wanting to decide in my life. And with Ara, well, she doesn't.
He wants to talk to me, so I am not going to beg him. And more because of his attitude.
They arrived at the kiosk and Ángel was waiting for them, he made a face of surprise when
Mia and Dorothy arrived holding hands.
Dorothy: Is everything alright? -(I asked upon reaching him).
Yes.
When they arrived at the place, they saw that it was a house, it was huge, it was very nice.
Ángel: Welcome to my house, wait for me here I'll go get my sister. Would you like something?
As soon as Ángel left, Mia and I looked at each other in astonishment, talking about what
they were returning.
Lotty: Hi, girls. My name is Lotty and I am Ángel's sister. - (Said a very pretty girl)
greeting them with a kiss.
The three were shocked by what I said. The siblings turned to look at each other with
surprise and Dorothy looked at Mia smiling at her, and she returned the smile.
Lotty: Nice to meet you. – I’m glad you accepted to come, I will just take a few measurements.
Join me - (Continued).
Dorothy: Of course, it's a pleasure. - (She replied following her, leaving Ángel and Mia)
alone in the room. We entered a room, apparently it was his study, it was very nice.
Lotty: Come in, sit wherever you want. Wait for me a little bit. - (Lotty said very
politely.
Dorothy: Thank you. - (She said embarrassed).
Lotty: So you like girls, huh? - (Said Lotty, surprising with her question to
Dorothy, making Dorothy more nervous). - Don't worry, I won't judge you. We don't have...
what to talk about that.
Lotty: How nice, you look good together. Well, stand here… - (She continued and
she measured me). …
Angel: (What do you mean girlfriends? It can't be, this is really a moment
uncomfortable). -They look cute together. -(He said to lighten the mood).
Angel: The truth is, yes, you are very lucky to have her.

Mia: She wouldn't ask you for it, but I would. I know you barely know us, but I want to ask you
a favor.
Angel: Let's see, tell me.
Mia: Look, her mother doesn't accept this, it's a long story, but her mother wants you to go to
your house, to meet you.
Angel: Me?
(As he was telling me his story, I was moved, and I decided to say yes. He asked me
discretion with Dorothy. She really wanted to help, and she wanted them to be happy.
Ángel: (We took them to Dorothy's house, and as soon as Mia got out of the car, she told me again that
we would be in contact) - yes - (my sister looked at me confused).
We arrived, and apparently Lotty was already prepared, with a blanket and some drinks.

he replied "I don't know" and night fell on them talking, it was love at first sight,
Fell in love with Dorothy and apparently she fell in love with Mia.
How romantic.
Ángel: And that's not the best part. -(He answered laughing) – Dorothy's mother, Altagracia, does not
accept that relationship, she doesn't know it, but she suspects it, Mia says that her friend is the one who told her
Altagracia was upset that her daughter liked girls. And she scolded Dorothy very harshly.
Angel: I know. They had been talking for a while, and when Mia confessed to the curly-haired one, she...

Lotty: The truth is, she wasn't meant for you, she has already found her other half.

she will remain calm, thinking that her daughter and I like each other, but so that it wouldn't be something

Yes, sorry

Dorothy happened: (The truth is I didn't expect that response from my aunt, we told her everything.

Dorothy: Later I'll tell you what happened.
