Rodrigo nodded as the lovely girl in his company told him of her impressive accomplishments. He agreed that the parties were a bore for the most part and finished his Coke Zero. "Thanks for letting me talk to you for a bit. Hopefully I'll see you later!" He gave a polite bow of his head then went inside. An event was about to begin soon so he was quick about getting another Coke to take back to his family. He knew Angelique hated to see him drink sodas, he felt it made them even for her petulant insistance that he go hatless. Sure enough the model made a beeline towards him, linked arm in arm with his mother. Lovely. "Oh for crying out loud, will you put that American crap in the trash? It's just going to give you pimples and keep you from ever finding a girlfriend! Am I right Maria darling?" Angelique pouted towards Mrs. DiMatteo.<br/><br/>Rodrigo gave her a smirk. He opened his mouth to say something sarcastic but his mother intervened. "Leave him be Angel. He's young. Any sugar in that he'll burn off by the end of the night." She gave the other woman a kiss then led her away towards Mr. DiMatteo and a potential buyer. Rodrigo noticed his mother shoot him a warning look over her shoulder. "Come on Rigo. Let's go wait for the first event with your father. Remember what we talked about earlier..." The tall young man sighed and nodded as he followed close behind. Back together with his father Luciano, Rodrigo stood beside him and took a victorious swig of his soda. Hopefully something even better would happen tonight.
