Chapter 50
P. O. V AUTHOR
Ale - my son what was all that about?
Luis - Look, Mom, I don't even know, but I apologize, I had no idea that Kirstin would arrive today and I had no idea that Tom's family didn't like her. I don't know exactly what happened, I know that Kirstin left him to stay with his best friend, but I also know that Alice was her best friend. At least she was when I met her in France.
Ale - What a mess, I think you'd better talk to Kirstin, ask Matteo to come down, tell him I'm calling so you can talk more freely, the poor guy must not understand anything, he and Luna, if I didn't understand anything, imagine these children
Luis - right mom
Luís goes up to the guest room and stands at the door looking at his godson taking care of his mother who doesn't answer his thousands of questions. Meanwhile, somewhere in the city Tom drives his car quietly while Alice holds the ice pack on her head
Alice - How do you feel, darling?
Tom - You're the one who got hurt, I should ask that
Alice - but you didn't, in fact you didn't say anything and I know when you keep quiet like that it's because you're angry, come on tell me
Tom - it's nothing
Alice - it's nothing? CASSETE YOU'VE JUST MEET YOUR EX AND FIND OUT THAT THE BOY THAT YOU HAVE A CERTAIN FLAVOR AND THAT YOUR CHILD IS IN LOVE WITH IS HER CHILD and you still say it's nothing Tom?
Tom - Right, I didn't expect that, not really, it seems that life likes to play with my face, but you even more
Alice - Me? why? I don't like to play with your face, darling - tries to put her hand on Tom's leg and Tom doesn't allow it
Tom - We agreed that you wouldn't have sex with other people anymore, and what did you do? YOU HAD SEX WITH LUÍS, WITH LUÍS UNDER MY NOSE, WHILE I TRIED TO CONVINCE HIS MOTHER THAT I AM THE FATHER OF LUNA, YOU WERE FUCKING EVERYONE THERE INCLUDING YOUR DAUGHTER. WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND MARIA ALICE?
Alice - Well, it's...
Tom - LET'S TELL ME? WAS IT WORTH IT? WAS IT WORTH BREAKING YOUR PROMISE AND YOUR TRUST, SO MANY MEN FOR YOU TO FUCK, IT HAD TO BE HIM? THE GUY WHO MADE YOU SUFFER THE MOST DULCE?
Alice - I'm sorry -
Tom - DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING YOU DON'T regret, DON'T BE FALSE, FOR THAT IS NOT YOU, AT LEAST I BELIEVE IT IS NOT
Alice - I swear I didn't plan on doing this
Tom - SHOULD I BE HAPPY ABOUT IT? OR SHOULD I CONGRATULATE YOU? WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
Alice - Ok I know I made a mistake and I made a very bad mistake, I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed having sex with him, but I regret it, I regret it, this shouldn't happen, I had no intention, I just went to the bathroom and the next thing I knew he was there with me and we were already having sex. I promise this will never happen again, forgive me my love. Give me one more chance
Tom - DON'T PROMISE WHAT YOU CAN'T COMPLETE, YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE. LUCKY FOR YOU, I LOVE OUR DAUGHTER TOO MUCH. I'M JUST NOT ENDING THIS NOW FOR HER SAKE, BECAUSE I WON'T LET THIS IDIOT TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME. I REALLY WANTED TO PROTECT YOU FROM HIM TOO BUT THERE'S NO WAY I CAN HELP YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HELPED, I WASH MY HANDS OF YOU.
Alice - crying - don't say that Tom, I'm nothing without you, don't give up on me, I love you or do you want to give up on me because she's back and a widow? Now you are free
Tom - DON'T SAY ILLUSTRATION, I DON'T WANT ANYTHING WITH THAT SHIT, I HATE HER AND YOU SHOULD HATE LUIS ALSO
Alice - I HATE IT
Tom - HATE IT SO HARD THAT YOU TREPED WITH HIM, IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO WATCH THE EXCHANGE OF LOOKS BETWEEN YOU TWO, TO SEE HIS STARTS OF THRILLING WITH MY WOMAN, MY WOMAN UNDER MY NOSE, TO SEE HIM MARKING YOU WHOLE, LEAVING MARKS AND YOU ON HIM
Alice - HE DIDN'T MARK ANYTHING OF TERRITORY I AM NOT HIS ANYTHING, I AM HIS WOMAN, HIS TONE. AND I DON'T MARK ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S HATE MARKS
Tom - mind you don't even feel it, here we are, come down and wait for me in the living room
Alice - where are you going?
Tom - what are you afraid I will abandon you? I wouldn't do that to you like that, I'm just going to put the car away and get some more ice and first aid, wait for me in the living room
Alice – Okay
