The Marriage Break

Part three: Love without possibilities

She was in front of him again. She as beautiful as perfect as always. Her voice was a heavenly music for David. His heart was beating so fast that he had to sigh.

"Regina! What's wrong?" He tried to be gentlemanly with that question; he did not mean to bother her.

Then, he observed a change in her expression; she was astonished, and also had an expression of shame. He entered the elevator in an automatic way, and the elevator began to go down to the basement, without any of them saying a word. Regina lowered her head and looked at the keys with which her hands played. The blond understood that she didn't want to talk to him. He hoped it was not for the kiss they had given on his apartment hours earlier.

"Nothing happens". About to reach the basement, Regina spoke these words, looking man in the eye.

In the deep brown chocolate eyes, there was a sea of contained tears, but there was no particular expression on the woman's face. When the elevator opened in basement one, the doorman was trying to deal with a practically fainted Arthur. This man was completely drunk and he had no control over his body. Arthur was passed out.

"Mrs. Regina, Mr. David. Thanks for coming to help, Mr. David". The porter took Arthur's arm, and the man hung it around his neck. Then Larry walked immediately to David, dragging the unconscious man.

"Of course!" David understood what it was all about. A couple of seconds it took him to react and take Arthur by the other arm. That was the shame and sadness on her neighbor's face.

"That's okay, David! I can help Larry upload it to him". She approached the blond quickly, but he spoke with his gaze.

"Please, Regina! I'm your neighbor, your friend and I'm also a gentleman, which is the most important thing". He was serious. He didn't like that Regina underestimated him. What to be his friend, it was necessary to say in front of the doorman, since the gossip in a building usually flies.

"It's okay David". She went to hold the elevator door and after the three men entered it, she pushed the penthouse button.

The time it took to reach the top floor, only heard the snores and wallops of Arthur, whose condition was deplorable. Regina felt devastated. The shame she was experiencing was very great. Arthur could barely breathe and she was worried that her son would find out about his father's condition.

When the elevator doors opened, she helped the gentlemen out of it with her husband. She opened the door to the luxurious apartment and she told them where to leave that drunkard.

"Leave him there on the couch, please. I'll take care of him now". She barely looked at them in the face. "Thanks for the help. Larry, I ask for your discretion". She tipped the employee. "And David ... Thank you!" She looked at him intensely.

"It is not necessary Mrs. Regina". The doorman went to the elevator and without waiting for David he left the place.

Regina and David were absorbed looking at each other. She wanted so much a hug from her neighbor and he wanted to hug her. The sound of Arthur's snoring brought them back to reality. The brunette had to shake her head to get concentrate again.

"Larry gave me the keys to Arthur's car. I guess it's closed and everything is fine". David confessed. "I hope you can rest. If you need anything, just let me know, please. You know that for me the main thing is that you and Adam are fine". He had to make this very clear.

"I know you care..." She walked away from her husband and approached her neighbor. "Everything will be fine. I'll see that everything is fine... I only have one question". She lowered her tone of voice and she looked at where her husband was and also where his son was. "Where were you going when we met in the elevator?"
