Richardo pov:

She walks away ignoring my question, I wanted to go after her but this blonde girl kept reaching out for me and digging her filthy nails into my skin making me want to vomit,I grab her arm pushing it away and she looks at me taken aback.

"What was that for?"She asks with a high pitched voice.

"Don't touch me".

"Excuse me?".

"How can you s-".

"Gentlemen,can I have your attention please?"I look towards the stage and see Logan standing there with a wide grin on his face.

"As you know,we have a new lady in the restaurant".

No.

"She's the best preformer in town and she's going to do what she does best...I present to you...Havana!!!".

No way in hell, there's no way she dared.

She approaches the stage and my blood starts boiling.

What in the world is she trying to do here? Faint like she did the first time she was on stage? This woman has social anxiety she can barely order by herself.

My eyesight turns red in anger when people start applauding her, I clench my jaw hard and Austin hits my shoulder.

"Bro go do something, she's either going to embarrass herself or win everyone's heart, doesn't that bother you?"I swallow the urge to scream and manage to spit out.

"She's not my problem"He laughs.
"Why are you gripping the seat so much then? your face is red and the veins on your neck are going to pop soon,admit it, it's killing you on the inside that she's resisting so much".

I grab my drink finishing it.
"I don't want her I just don't want other man staring at her here because I know what they're thinking"He nods.

"Exactly and it seems that she's having a good time so she's doing it on purpose,look"I look at her and she's joking her life away, walking around and smiling,not a care in the world.

"For God's sake".

I walk towards the stage furious,she stops and stares at me in confusion.

"Isabella get down right now, you're embarrassing yourself"She rolls her eyes at me.

"Can't you see I'm working,go back to your table".

"No wife of mine will walk around here cracking jokes like a depressed comedian in front of these sad men"The club goes quiet and everyone stares at me like I'm insane.

"Richardo,why are you doing this? I'm trying to have fun"I walk up to her grabbing her arm and dragging her backstage,she tries to fight me by punching me but I grab her other arm, pushing her in the changing room and locking the door behind me.

"You are out of your mind!! I was having fun,I was trying to loosen up and take my mind off of everything that was happening,you can't fun away from me".

"I can and I will,no more talking and walking,at least not here where people can see you"She throws a hairbrush at me and I catch it.

"Ughhhh,you have the IQ of room temperature,why are you doing this to me? You said you wanted me to stay out of your way then let me do it...Leave me alone!!".

"NOT LIKE THIS,THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY"I yell at her,she doesn't flinch, instead she yells back even louder.

"WHY? IT'S JUST A HARMLESS COMEDY NIGHT,I DO IT WITH MY FRIENDS ALL THE TIME".

"I'm not letting you do such things in public,when I met you you nearly weren't even able to talk to me without panicking, I'm doing this for your own good you just don't see it because you're trying to get back at me for that woman that was sitting next to me back there"

"You never laughed with me like you laughed with her,I didn't even get an actual proper apology from you, every word directed towards me sound robotic, it's unfair that the person I loved has more fun with other women than his own wife"She says,her eyes starting to tear up.

I feel a stab in my chest at her words.I really damaged her a lot by leaving.

I wish I could take all that back.

"I didn't mean it like that"She crosses her arms.

"I didn't go on the stage to be thirsted over Richardo,and I still didn't accept what you did,get that in your head"She sits on the couch wiping her tears.

I watch her swallow hard and bite her lip anxiously, fighting the urge to cry in front of me.

Taking a deep breath I pull the chair putting it in the middle of the room.

"What are you doing?"She asks me, I take off my jacket throwing it on the couch and sitting on the chair.

"Do it, with me,not them, I know you're not the type of a woman that likes to be the center of attention but you are stunning, looking at you makes me melt,those men weren't listening to a word you were saying out there,they were admiring you, and I'm the only one that can do that,I don't want them to have a single thought about you".

She swallows and looks me up and down.

"Don't you hate having fun and listening to people talk?"I shake my head.

"Like I said,you are my wife and I'm the only one that should be listening to you talk for hours and I'm the only one that's allowed to see you like this"I point at her outfit and she laughs.

God,you blessed her with everything, she's all covered up and still making my heart beat like crazy.

"So you're jealous?"she smiles cheeky and I nod taking a deep breath.

"Don't tell anyone about me admitting defeat".

"You're not admitting defeat, you're just jelaous... Because you love me so much and it's killing you that you left me that night, right?"I stay quiet.

Obviously,I will never live this regret down, it's too hurtful when she brings it up, reminds me of how weak I was in the past.


"Okay"She stands up.

"Okay?"I repeat after her surprised.

"Sure, I'll act like this is the stage, I'll have my fun, I'll dance,since you're not allowing me to do a single thing in the presence of men, I'll do it in the presence of you".

"Good,you understood me well".

"Alright,hermoso,as you wish"I swallow hard.

Knowing her she's about to do something absurd.

"Ready?"She asks,her eyes shinning in excitement.

"Let's see what you got"I smile, putting my hands in my pockets.
