The Marriage Break

Part four: When the party is over

Regina remained in David's arms, after having experienced incomparable senses. David knew exactly how to make her happy and that scared her. She couldn't like him more. David was seizing her heart. Her breathing, of her agitated by what she experienced, became even more intense when she thought that she had just committed the worst of her mistakes. What would she do with David from now on? What would be of her life with him and without him?

She got up suddenly, getting out of the blond's embrace. Automatically, she began to pick up her clothes, the one David had torn off in the passionate process and she began to dress. The gentleman looked somewhat bewildered. She didn't even look at him and she began to cry uncontrollably.

"Regina, what happens? What's going on?" The man imitated the routine of the brunette and he began to dress.

"Excuse me David, I can't talk". She could barely pronounce these words.

She finished getting ready, before David's stunned look. He already sensed that repentance ran through Regina's veins. He didn't want to pressure her at all, but he wasn't willing to lose the opportunity that Regina had given him. He didn't question anything anymore. Regina liked it like nobody else.

She opened the door very carefully; to make sure that no one saw her leave the room, that is, that no one noticed the infidelity with the neighbor. Before stepping out, she felt him take her by the arm. She couldn't turn around. She couldn't look David in the eyes, not after the intensity with which they had made love. She was afraid of making a bigger mistake, but the damage was already done.

He seemed to understand her. So he didn't force her to look at him. He approached her and hugged her tight but briefly. He took a deep breath to feel the scent of her hair.

"Come back to me, Regina". He whispered and released her arm, just to see her running off in the direction of the elevator.

David finished getting ready, left the sauna. He devoted himself to exercise, while some tears escaped his face. He was alone in the gym and he was afraid to think that Regina would leave him like that, after what happened.

Regina had done the worst damage herself, hurting David. She wanted him, of course she wanted him. She prayed that the elevator wouldn't stop on any other floor, because she would have to hide her crying and she wasn't sure that she could hide her sadness.

She had left him alone, after how special those hours had been, she had left him alone and she had not had the decency to look him in the face. Regina felt like the most miserable of cowards. She came to his apartment and she closed the door, laying on her. She felt so weak about leaving David and so bad for having committed that indiscretion.

Regina went straight to her room and went into the shower. She had to restart. But the problem was that she had lived it. She had enjoyed her encounter with David. She had wanted it since they kissed in his apartment. But why it felt so good and so bad at the same time. Why did Arthur appear to make her feel bad? How many infidelities had she omitted from him?

"If only you would love me as he started to do today!" She spoke to that absent Arthur, the same one who was refused to stop being in her heart, but who seemed to have his days numbered there.

The brunette managed to calm down and try not to think about what happened. Was she becoming a hypocrite? She had to concentrate on the party that night. Arthur was ready to be on time and she would have to look perfect by his side. She made a face mask and placed a couple of slices of cucumber in her eyes. By lunchtime, her son Adam was still at home from his temptation, playing with Emma.

She ate a light salad and received the stylist who would do her makeup and fix her hair. She knew that her neighbor had invited her to lunch and that now they would be eating pizza with the babysitter. Regina had to think clearly about what she was going to do. Seeing David was inevitable, as she had to pick up her son so that he would dress for the party.
