Chapter 32

In all the world there is no heart for me like yours.  In all the world there is no love for you like mine. ~Maya Angelou

Taylor finds Santo at the bar in the Salsa club as expected but he’s not alone.  A woman stands in between his legs with her arms resting on his shoulders.  He’s smiling at her with his hands resting on her butt.  She’s caressing his face and playing with his dimples making Taylor furious this skank is all over him.  Another woman runs her fingers through his closed cropped black tea hair, grabs his face and kisses him on the lips then walks away.

The woman whispers something in his ear and he talks back to her in Italian so Taylor can’t understand what they are saying but she can read the woman’s lustful body language.  What just happened she wonders?  Did he pick one of them for the night or something?  Needing someone that speaks the language to tell her what’s going on she makes her way back to the table where Mita, Sergio and Serena are all laughing and talking.  Serena can see that she’s upset but she also sees the fury in her eyes. 

“Serena, can you come with me for a moment.”  Taylor says her fist balled and her body tense with anger she can hardly control.

“What is it, are you alright?  Is Santo alright?”  Sergio exclaims.

“Yeah he’s in skank heaven right now and I’m about to bring his ass back down to earth.”  Says the angry bundle of emerald fire before Sergio’s laughing eyes.

“It’s not funny Sergio I think he’s drunk and I’m about to sober his ass up real quick.  I…I need some help.  I don’t speak enough of the language to understand what he’s saying to those women with him.  One of them is all over him.”  Taylor’s furious eyes dart from one to the other of the people sitting at the table not sure they are willing to help her.

“Well now you’re talking my kind of shit. Come on Serena it’s like old times when we had to kick some ass before I married Sergio.”  Mita is smiling as she looks her husband’s way and he rolls his eyes not wanting to discuss his premarital days of hard partying and drinking.

Taylor returns to the bar area, when she gets there with her backup they are gone and another man and woman is in the seat.

“Why are we stopping, where are they?”  Mita asks.

“I don’t know they were here right here.”  Taylor is getting angrier and determined to find out what he is up to when she finds him.

“Ahm….I see him.  He’s fine.  Let’s just go back to the table?”   Sergio says to quickly grabbing Mita’s hand.

“Where?”  Serena is looking around and she spots him about the same time Taylor does.  Taylor has already taken off her hoop earrings and starts taking off her shoes but Serena grabs her.

“Hold on we don’t want to start an unnecessary catfight.  Their just dancing.”  Serena takes Taylor’s shoe out of her hand and Taylor snatches it back putting it back on her foot.

“That’s not dancing that’s foreplay.  She’s all over him.”  Taylor’s anger is boiling over.  “He’s not drunk he knows what he’s doing.  Look at him how he’s smiling at her.  He’s enjoying it.”

“Of course he is. Look at those legs on her, damn.”  Sergio forgets he’s with his wife and cousin feeling a little of the alcohol himself.  Mita punches him in his side.  “Sei stupido o pronti per il divorzio.”  She grabs his face and his eyes widen then he grabs her around her waist trying to kiss her but she is resistant and starts fussing at him in Italian.

Holding her fingers to her temple Serena yells at Mita and Sergio.  “Stop it you two one couple at a time where is Mario.  I can’t deal with all of you fighting.”
