Family Affair
Featuring Mrs. Vilaró and Ricky Rodriguez.
(All dialogue with her mother is translated from Catalan)
(Ricky and Mari are speaking in English).
(This occurs during Marisol’s absence from the states after Uprisings Solstice.)
A warm summer day in Barcelona, Spain. It was the tail end, but it had been a long time since Marisol had visited her hometown, the city she grew up in. Instead of being in the working-class neighborhood, she stayed at a family friend's hillside villa with friend Ricky Rodriguez. Marisol and Ricky, since the meeting, have been very close since Marisol helped manage his career and teamed with him while he was there. Marisol was sitting by the pool relaxing by the sun Rickyy Rodriguez had gone for a walk. He was leaving her some quiet time alone for a little bit. Soon she hears her cell phone, and she sees her mother calling, whom she hasn’t spoken to for a long time since she moved stateside.
Marisol Vilaró: Hey, mother, how are you?
Her mother's voice soon came over the line; it was soft and warm.
Mrs. Vilaró: Marisol, I am okay. Are you in Barcelona?
Marisol knew she had forgotten something well, not really, but mainly just didn’t want many people to know she was back in town. Just because this was a trip to get her mind off things, she knew better than to lie to her mother.
Marisol Vilaró: Yeah, I am staying at Mr. Perez’s place while they are out wanted some me time.
Mrs. Vilaró: It has anything to do with business? I hear you have been quite busy. I am hoping everything is okay. It was a significant risk to expand your company to the United States; I know your father has been worried about you lately.
Marisol Vilaró: Business has been great. We were expanding soon into Mexico and Latin America and managed to get some high-profile clients and different marketing deals done. Things are working out better than I thought.
There is a pause. Marisol waited for her mother to ask another question; she knew several could come.
Ms. Vilaró: Well wish you would of let me know, but maybe you can visit before you have to return stateside, I know I would love to see you again, and even your dad asked about you. I know you two argued before you left, but maybe now he can see the good you’re doing.
Marisol Vilaró: I thought you were asleep during that? He did, too, yeah, I’d love that, but I am not going to hold my breath. Dad always acts like I am doing some terrible thing; why? I just want to help people like I helped my brother, you know? Fitness is important to me; it has been my whole life, you know that.
Ms.Vilaró: Your dad is just concerned for you; he knows how you get a question. Did Cliff come with you? Your father and I are looking forward to meeting him.
Marisol's heart sank; she was still hurt from the events between her and Cliff Morgan. A man she helped get back into shape and brought into Uprising. They had taken on the world together, only for him to dump her on national television.
Marisol Vilaró: No, we broke up…
There is an awkward silence on the other end as she waits for her mother to say something. They had always wanted to meet him while Marisol was training him while she was still living in Barcelona.
Mrs. Vilaró: I am sorry, Mari, it's a shame, but there will be another, and all things happen for a reason.
Marisol nods her head; not wanting to talk about it, she tries and changes the subject.
Marisol Vilaró: Yeah, but anyway, listen, maybe I will stop by tomorrow if that is okay? Just today, I got some things I am doing business-wise before I head back to the states. Plus, some people I want to see as well.
Mrs. Vilaró: I understand and listen; if you ever need anyone to talk to about it, I am here. I love you, and you know you’re welcome here anytime. Don’t worry about your father. I will talk to him as well. I am sure he’d love to see you.
Marisol nods, and she soon hears the door unlocking as she says.
Marisol Vilaró: Okay, mama, I need to go; I will talk to you later; love you.
Mrs.Vilaró: Wait, Mari, your brother is in town. I think it’d be great if you saw him again. Just before you leave, promise me you will.
Marisol Vilaró: I will, mother, but he's back in town. I thought he had moved to the United Kingdom.
Leo Vilaró was the first person ever to use the Vilaró System, and to fantastic success, basically gave Marisol purpose in life by creating her company. But, after that and getting busy with her work, she didn’t see him much, but he had recently relocated to the United Kingdom.
Mrs. Vilaró: He did; he’s just visiting. I know you two should see each other, though. Tell you what, I can call him to see if he can come on over. We haven’t had family time in two years, so it would be nice to have that before you both leave.
Marisol soon sees Ricky Rodriguez coming back into the house from his walk; he makes his way over, and Marisol soon looks up, seeing him as she says to her mom.
Marisol Vilaró: Alright, anyway, I got to go; I will talk to you later. Let me know about Leo, okay?
Mrs. Vilaró: Alright, Mari, take care, and I will love you.
With that, Marisol ended the call placing it down as she looked up, smiling at Ricky, who was standing right above where she was sitting. The Fitness Queen gets up and hugs him tightly as she says.
Marisol Vilaró: My Ricky, how was your walk?
Ricky Rodriguez: It was good I almost got lost on the way back but found it, thankfully. Does next time come with me?
Marisol chuckled a bit, almost amused, but then she smiled.
Marisol Vilaró: Alright, can’t have you getting lost, so no problem, we can go another walk later if you want.
Ricky laughed himself as she said.
Ricky Rodriguez: Yeah, yeah, have fun. I was only lost for a little bit, but that sounds good. Did anything come from that?
Marisol nodded as she locked eyes with Ricky for a bit before speaking.
Marisol Vilaró: Yeah, she found out I was here and wants to get the family together, thinking it might be tomorrow. I’d love to invite you to that, but mother is kind of weird, and she will ask a bunch of questions, especially since I just told her Cliff and I broke up and didn’t give any details on what happened.
Ricky looked concerned but nodded before speaking, though he couldn’t help himself check out the Catalonian beauty in front of him.
Ricky Rodriguez: I understand, Mari; anything you need, I got you. Tell me how it goes if it ends up happening. What's the plan for today? I figure we should take it easy today, especially if you got a big day tomorrow.
Marisol nodded; however, a sly smirk appeared on her face.
Marisol Vilaró: Yeah, thank you, and don’t worry, I will anyway. Don’t think you’re getting out of your workout today, though!
Ricky Rodriguez: Damn it, I was hoping we’d get to just relax by the pool and have a rest day. I don’t know how you have so much energy, Mari?!
Marisol laughs, as Mari is likely to get changed into her workout gear. Ricky can’t help but smile, watching her go. It was going to be another day for the two, and even though Marisol was here to clear her mind, she would keep up the grind of success.
