The Following Evening [ Justin and Arely's House ]
Arely I'm ready for the gala. I was making my way towards the car when I heard a voice behind me.
Justin : Arely!! Arely : Yes?

Justin : You're not going in that. Go change now!! Arely : ....Seriously? Justin : That's too revealing! Arely : ... Justin : I don't want other men looking at what's mine so go change! Arely : Right........yours.
Arely He walked away heading to the car with a cold expression.
God I hate him! I hate this marriage, I hate this life!
I went back inside the house to change as if I had a choice. Justin hates disobedience. I've learned the hard way....
Meanwhile Gala
Bianca : Dam? Damian : Hey Bi.. Bianca : You need to let go of her... Damian : How do you stop loving someone? Bianca : Eventually you will. Now stop staring or her husband will come over and tell you himself. Damian : She looks gorgeous.... Bianca : You should talk to other women. Maybe someone who's single. Damian : Shouldn't you be with your husband? Bianca : Fine -walks away-
Car ride
-Arely We are now in the car on our way to the gala. He wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him as his hand went down to stroke my thigh.
Justin : You are to stand by my side at all times like the great wife you are. Got it? Arely : Sure Justin : You look hot in red by the way. Arely : ....
Arely He placed a kiss on my neck still holding on to my waist.
I turned away and looked out the window instead.
G A L A
Liam : -cough- Damian : Can I help you? Liam : Yes, actually... Damian : With? Liam : I'd appreciate it if you stop staring at my wife. Damian : ....I'll try! Liam : Look man- I get you still have feelings for her but you have to let go. Damian : Easy for you to say. It's not you who has to see the woman you love with someone else! Bianca : Hello! I'm gonna steal my brother for a second.
Damian Bianca grabbed my arm and pulled me away from him.
She doesn't understand me. No one does!
Bianca : Damian stop! If you can't handle seeing her with him then leave before you cause a scene! Damian : ....
Arely I hate coming to events with him. I have to stand here looking pretty with a fake ass smile on my face as if I was the happiest wife.
If only everyone knew how my marriage really is. If only they knew how Justin really is.
Woman : Justin hey! Looking good like always. Justin : I could say the same thing about you gorgeous. Woman : I miss our fun times. We should definitely catch up. Justin : Oh I plan to. I'll call you. Woman : I'll be waiting! -walks away- Arely : Do you seriously have to flirt with other women in front of me? Justin : Oh stop being dramatic! Arely : I'm not!! You're disrespecting me here! Justin : Arely stop getting jealous over every little thing!!! You get jealous if I talk to another women! You get jealous if I even look at one!! STOP BEING SO FUCKING JEALOUS IT'S ANNOYING!!! Arely : Lower it! Everyone is staring... Justin : Let them so they can see the jealous and possessive wife you are!!
Arely This is humiliating....
First he flirts with other women in front of me and then turns it against me! Apparently I'm the jealous and possessive one here.
Everyone is staring and we turned out to be the interesting show and talk of the gala.
I couldn't take it anymore. The stares, the whispers and chit chatting was too much. I went outside for a bit.
I need to breathe.
Seconds later I heard someone else step outside.
Damian : You chose the wrong guy. What a toxic ass marriage. Arely : I didn't ask for your opinion did I? Damian : Chill woman! I'm just saying what I saw. But that relationship is toxic. Arely : My marriage is MY concern so stay out of it! I don't want your comments or opinion.
-Arely Who does he think is? Commenting on my marriage?
He's right though....
But still! He shouldn't be giving out his opinion on my life.
Justin : Arely! Arely : -sigh- Justin : Come back inside! Arely : I don't want to. Justin : I didn't ask if you wanted to. I'm telling you to come back inside!! Now! Damian : That's no way to treat your wife. She can make her own decisions and speak for herself. Justin : Look Mendoza- stay out of my marriage! This is between her and me. Arely : Let's go back inside before you make another scene! -walks away-
Damian Why is such a pretty woman as her putting up with a man like him? Perhaps an arranged marriage? How does she not stand up for herself? She shouldn't let anyone walk all over her like that.
Arely...? Where have I heard that name from?
I N S I D E
Stacey : Hey you alright? Arely : How would you feel if you were in my place? Stacey : Yeah.......never mind. Arely : I just want to leave. Stacey : Oh Justin is starting to drink by the way. Arely : Great- just what I needed.. Stacey : isn't it a good thing though? Arely : No! He's a lot more aggressive and impulsive when he's drunk.
Diana : Damian hey! Damian : Diana. How you been? Diana : I've been great! What about you? Who did you bring this year? Damian : Oh I came alone. Diana : Really? Weird! Damian : I don't jump from woman to woman anymore... Diana : That's good! Trust me that'll help with you for when you take a girl seriously. Damian : Yeah......playboy Damian really fucked up didn't he? Diana : Yeah......Well it was nice talking to you. I'm gonna go look for- Damian : Your husband. Yeah go ahead. It was nice talking to you too
Damian Diana......my first love. The first and only girl I ever wanted for real.
I fucked up with her. I got drunk and unintentionally cheated on her. She then broke up with me and we parted ways. I haven't dated anyone since. I don't sleep around anymore. The Diana experience really fucked me up. I don't know if I'll ever love a woman again like I love her...
Chauffeur: Mrs Larson? Are you ready to leave? Arely : You're asking me? Shouldn't you be asking your boss? Chauffeur : Mr Larson already left. Arely : He left? Chauffeur : In another car. Arely : Take me home then. Chauffeur : Yes ma'am!
Bianca : Enough Damian! Damian : Let me live! Bianca : Getting drunk isn't fun! Damian : Says you?! You love the alcohol! Bianca : Uh okay yes but I don't get hella drunk! Damian : I want to get lost tonight. Bianca : We'll see if you say that tomorrow morning. Don't forget you run a company! Damian : -eye roll-
