Chapter 2

Fabiana hangs up on her sister and at the end of the day, Katy comes home throwing her bag on the coffee table and sitting on the couch.

Elaine - How was work today?

Katy - It was...it was all like mother, as always...

Elaine - Don't lie! She went there, didn't she? Tell me you haven't seen Andrew again and that we're not going to start this war again.

Katy - He went to see me at work and I don't know how... the witch of your... Fabiana found out and went to threaten me, but you know I won't cower because of her.

Elaine - I'm going to talk to Andrew, he has to get away or I predict a misfortune.

Katy - Another mother?

Elaine - I talked to you so much, I thought that in those eight years everything had changed and I had forgotten. It was a huge mistake to send you to take care of her...but I couldn't imagine!

Katy - That I would sleep with her husband to get revenge for the naughty thing she did to you and my father?

Elaine - That's past daughter, you were a child and time has passed. In the last few years, you had grown closer to her, I thought you had forgiven her.

Katy - You still cry for him and her betrayal, do you think I don't suffer too today? When did I see my father leave the house to join my aunt? A thousand years could have passed...I wouldn't forget to charge.

Elaine - You didn't prove to be better than Fabiana was with me in the past, I wanted to get close to her so that she could truly forgive her and now...all she managed to do was still cause a storm and disunity in our family.

Katy - You know what comforts me? That my father couldn't bear to be with her even a year, for a few moments I felt remorse and guilt for being with Andrew at her house...but it passed. I don't regret sleeping with that viper's husband!

Elaine - Please forget about Andrew and forget about Fabiana.

Katy - If I walk away from him, it's for the lady who has suffered too much and also for him, who doesn't deserve what is happening.

Elaine - Don't tell me you like him?

Katy - He's a nice guy mom and that's why I'll leave him alone.

Elaine - So don't let him get close, have you ever thought about what he might feel when he learned that he was used in revenge?

Katy - He won't know anything, Fabiana wouldn't take off the mask of a good woman in front of him.

The two embraced.

...

Fabiana was at home still trying to swallow everything she had heard from her niece in that store. He walked around the whole house, poured himself a glass of wine, and went to the living room, taking his cell phone.

Fabiana - Please pass my call on to Andrew.

sec. - He's not in his office, he left the store just now to go check a problem with a supplier.

Fabiana hung up on the secretary and threatened to throw her cell phone until she thought better of what to do and acted with reason.

"Fucking supplier! If he's gone looking for that little bitch I don't even know what to do."

...

Elaine was out, working the night shift as a nurse. Katy had taken a shower and washed her hair, put on a tight and simple dress, and with her hair still tied to the towel, went to open the door after hearing the bell ring.

Katy - Andre?

She tried to close the door in his face, but he stopped her and went inside.

Andrew - Please don't send me away without hearing from me first...

Katy - My mother will be arriving, please I asked you not to look for me, much less here.

Andrew - You're lying, I saw when she left her uniform just now, I want to hear from her mouth that she doesn't want me anymore. By texting it's easy to play tough...looks at me and talks.

Andrew grabbed her by the waist, and leaned against the wall, kissing her. Smoothing her skin as if only wanted to enter her body in every possible way. Katy responded, but in a lapse in judgment, she suddenly pushed him away.

Katy - Get out of here or I'll scream and create a scandal.

Andrew - Do it, so the police come and everyone finds out that we're still seeing each other.

Katy - The worst shit I could have done in this life was to have stayed with you.

He smiled and kissed her again lifting her dress and caressing her underwear, she let out a moan of desire.

Andrew - You love me as much or more than I love you...you can't ask me to forget the nights we had.

Katy - For all that is most sacred, let me go.

He released her, still breathing heavily and showing how aroused he was.

Andrew - Tomorrow at 20:00 I'll come to get you...

Katy - You can forget about this madness, go back to your little woman...she must be calling you by now.

Andrew - You die of jealousy, why don't you accept that you love me?

Katy - I don't know if I feel sorry for you for being with her or for being so pretentious. I'm not free anymore... I have someone and that changes everything because I'm not a bitch like you.

Andrew - Don't play with me, Katy.

Katy - I'm not kidding and now go back to your wife, or wherever the hell you want!

Andrew - Everyone was right when they said that it was all your fault, you play with people's feelings as if they were nothing.

Katy - I don't know if you remember, but he cheated on his wife with me. What does he want? Fidelity and respect of a mistress? We make mistakes and what starts wrong doesn't end right... for everyone's sake go home.

Andrew didn't say a word, he just left that house knocking loudly on the door.

Katy ran to her laptop and made a video call to Ludmilla, who didn't answer. She stayed in bed crying for a while and thinking about what had happened until her friend returned the call.

Katy - Lud, thank God. I need to vent and I can only with you.

Ludmilla - Andrew again?

Katy - Yes, he came here and we fought. Also, my mom and I brought that up again after so many years…she finally admitted to herself that I stayed with my aunt's husband out of revenge.

Ludmilla - I told you I should have let it go.

Katy - I always wanted to take revenge on her and when I got to that house and met that handsome man I couldn't resist the temptation to stay with him and even take revenge. He came here and we kissed, we almost had sex against the wall..we can't touch each other again!

Ludmilla - Did you ask him to disappear?

Katy - Of course, and I still said that I'm in a relationship, that he should go home and be with the witch.

Ludmilla - You like him don't you?

Katy - I can't lie to you.

Ludmilla - Then tell him to separate from her at once!

Katy - My mother kills me and on top of that, I'm sure that if I stayed with him Fabiana would make our lives hell. And there's my father who doesn't even dream of all this mess, he would kill me.

Ludmilla - It doesn't even look like the same one who dared to take her aunt's husband at her house and on top of that make her catch the scene! Stop cowardice and weigh things well, if it's worth giving up this man who seems to have woner and giving him as a gift to your salad* aunt and salad thief!

Katy - You're crazier than me, just yesterday you told me to dump him.

Ludmilla - I didn't know you were involved like that, I know your friend's story, and as, they say thief, steals thief...

Katy - You have a hundred years of forgiveness!

Ludmilla - That's right.

Katy - But what if he doesn't want to separate from her to be with me?

Ludmilla - Then he's the idiot... talk and don't be afraid, to be honest.

Katy - He'll hate me if he finds out I used him.

Ludmilla - That's why you have to say it soon.

The two hang up, Andrew was driving home remembering everything he had heard.

"How could I be such an idiot? I was going to leave a marriage for someone who doesn't know what the word feeling means, it's not worth it...I'm going to stifle what I feel for her until there's nothing left."

Katy - If I say I've changed my mind I'll sound crazy, but if I don't... I throw him back in her bed and this time for good.

Message on WhatsApp:

Andrew forgives me for the stupid way I talked to you, I said things on impulse and I know I hurt you.

Andrew typing...

You didn't hurt me, you just told me the truth and I appreciate you being honest.

Katy typing...

Can we still talk tomorrow?

Andrew typing...

I thought you asked me to get out of your life, did you change your mind?

Katy typing...

I wasn't completely honest with you, because of my mother...

Andrew typing...

Give me a reason to swallow my pride and come see you tomorrow.

Katy typing...

Maybe I'll kiss you.

Andrew typing...

It's a good reason.

Katy typing...

Not here at home, pick me up on the street above... it's dark so the neighbors won't see it.

Andrew typing...

It's arranged then.

Katy typing...

Goodnight.

Andrew typing...

Goodnight.

Fabiana had fallen asleep at home waiting for him, as soon as Andrew arrived she woke up.

Fabiana - Where were you around 17:00? I called the store and you weren't there.

Andrew - Are you going to start with a sermon? I went to speak with a supplier.

Fabiana - And then? It's now 21:30!

Andrew - I drove aimlessly to postpone my arrival here and listen to all your crazy things.

Fabiana - Don't play with me, Andrew.

He went to take a shower and she took the opportunity to grab her cell phone, smell her clothes and look for some evidence. His cell phone had a password and he certainly wouldn't give it to her, he remembered that he accessed it through his notebook, he just opened it and there were several conversations on WhatsApp web and contact without a photo and with Eduardo's name caught his attention, of course, t, hat conversation was with Katy.

Fabiana - It's the tramp*, my heart doesn't lie, she wants to take him away from me the way I took her father out of the house.

Andrew - Who took out of the house?

Fabiana - Nothing, I'm just researching a subject at work...are you going to bed?

Andrew - Yee, I'm tired.

"He won't give up staying with her...Andrew keeps running after her like a puppy, I have to put a stop to this stupid revenge and I can't wait any longer."
