Real.Doc - Part 2 - Joe (English Version)

It's a good thing I only have one then

On the day of the party, I waited in the living room while Cesar resolved a last-minute issue in the office. Chaos approached and mocked:

"That woman managed to be the mistress of both of your husbands."

"It's a good thing I only have one then," I replied.

He didn't like my comment. Soon, Cesar arrived, and we were able to leave.

The party was a blast. Chaos disappeared with Shannon into the crowd, while Cesar and I walked around, projecting the image of a happy couple. Cesar explained that, for future business, it was necessary for us to convey this image. DeeDee was there, and I was trying to understand what was happening, but I couldn't. At one point, while talking to her, I saw Chaos and Shannon on the other side of the club, and once again, he was melting her with his charm. Why didn't he do that to me?

I had the opportunity to ask him this in person during the party. As I was leaving the bathroom, I found him leaving too. While he was getting ready in front of the mirror, I asked: — "Why are you never with me the same way you are with Shannon?"

He looked at me, trying to understand.

"I would like to know that guy someday." He didn't answer. He continued to get ready. So I continued: "Would it help if I used Cesar to show you what I mean?"

He didn't say anything, but, practically huffing, he left.

The hallway was empty except for a few people passing quickly and Cesar. He had followed my entire conversation with Chaos from afar. When he approached, he tried to explain his presence there: 

"They were asking about you."

"Yes, I just..."

"I know," he said, extending his arm to me.

I took his arm, and we started walking slowly.

 "Just be careful, okay?" he warned.

I nodded, and so, arm in arm, we returned to the party. We stayed together for the rest of the night, posing as a happy couple. I didn't see or look for Chaos anymore.
