He did not know how to act with her, how to start a conversation, what to say or what she is thinking, she could only hear her sob and he knew that she would not say anything until she was ready to talk but he did not want to leave her like that. He wanted to make sure she was okay. After half an hour or so of driving around the city, he asked her.
- Are you OK?
She shook her head. She did not want to answer him because she did not know if she was alright.
- Where do you want us to go? he turned toward her and asked her.
She looked at him and responded: - Anywhere please, I just do not want to go home, I do not want to see his face or anything else in that house...
- Okay, but can you tell me who he is and what did he do so badly to make you feel like this? he asked her
- He is Mark. My boyfriend, well he was more like my fiancé. Well my ex-fiancé, since tonight.
- Since tonight? What happened? he asked with worried voice
- I caught him in the study with his assistant, Lisa. They were having s*x. she replied and continued to cry
- Oh, Mime, I am sorry. he looked at her with a tender look on his face.
He was feeling bad for her, he knew how much being betrayed hurt and he did not know why he did not want her to feel bad and to feel that pain.
She nodded.
- Thank you and thank you for saving me. she turned toward looked him in his eyes and said.
- At any time, but I do not want you to be sad. What can I do to make you feel better? Is there a place where I can take you so you can feel better? What should I do? he asked her with an honest voice.
- I... I... she stuttered and continued: - I just want to stop thinking about them and the image I have in my head. I need a drink, a lot of them. she responded.
-Hm, where can I take you? he was thinking out loud when he spoke with an undetermined voice, he wanted to make that suggestion for a few minutes but did not know how will she respond but did it anyway because he knew he wanted to take care of her and did not want to leave her alone. He spoke: - If you want I have a room at the Belmond Astoria Hotel, we can go there. There is a bar and there is enough alcohol to forget about all our problems. Also, I would like to keep an eye on you this evening. he suggested
- I do not know...
- Trust me, I will not try to pass on to you, I just want to take care of you... he said.
- It sounds good. But I do not want to disturb you, it is enough that you are putting up with me now and you had to leave the party because of me. I did not want to bother you. I am sorry. she smiled gently
- No problem, anyway I did not like it in there, it was too boring and too many people were trying to get in my pants with flattering. Plus, it has not happened to me for a long time to save a lady in distress.
He managed to make her smile. Mime looked at her purse and noticed a small message light on the phone. She opened it and had 4 messages and 23 missed calls, 22 calls and 4 messages from Mark, and one call from her sister. She did not want to talk to her because she knew that her sister will see that something is wrong in her voice so she wrote her a message:
I am fine, do not worry, my battery is low and I am at a party with Mark.
Talk to you tomorrow. I love you xoxo M
She turned off her phone and put it in her bag. She did not want to see his name on the screen.
