Areson :

We went home as we needed to rest. A boring or maybe interesting dinner was ahead of us.

I poured myself a glass of whiskey and stood at the balcony.

After a few minutes, Kasity joined me.

She saw me drinking and immediately took the glass off my hands.

"Stop drinking so much" she says, while drinking the rest of the whiskey.

"Who's talking" I say and then roll my eyes.

"Did you just roll your eyes?" She angrily said while approaching me.

She touched my shirt and unbuttoned it slowly...

It's been a while since you noticed, I feel like you been losing focus
You lost the fire where the smoke is
Do you wanna get behind it? Flip it over and recline it?
Undress me just the way I like it...•

"Don't tease me" I seriously tell her...

"Looks better like this" she smiled and then left.

•I don't think you know what I been doing
And what I got on, for you to take off•

"You're going to pay for these provocations" I say, trying to catch her attention again.

She got angry again and approached my ear.

"Never" she slowly whispered...

Then, she left and we started getting ready for the dinner.

She wore a glamorous golden dress and black high heels. Her hair, perfectly fixed, her makeup, so shiny as usual...

I wore a black suit, white shirt, black tie...

We got out of our apartment and headed for the restaurant Victoria told us.

We met her there.

Kasity :

"Hello...collegues" she teased just when we arrived.

"Don't even dare" I ironically smile at her and sit down.

We started talking about irrelevant things...

I could notice her paying too much attention to Areson and asking him many things, making compliments all the time.

"So Areson, what's a man with such a great reputation doing with a low class lawyer like Damassiel" she asked, totally ignoring my presence.

"First of all, Ms. Rivera, we're not together and secondly, you have no right to offend her like that" Areson angrily replied and I could notice him becoming more tense everytime.

I really couldn't stand her attitude anymore.

I got up and took my bag.

"Victoria darling, you're pathetic" I finally say, with a disappointing look on my face.

"Areson c'mon we're leaving" I tell him.

"Oh, actually if you're tired you can go without me, I can't leave Rivera alone" he said and at that moment I got furious.

"Goodnight" I said and left the restaurant angrily.

I went in my apartment and shut the door loudly.

'What now? Is Areson going to join their organisation?' I was thinking while changing...

I locked the door. He has the keys, he can open it himself.
I fixed some papers Victoria gave us and then headed for the balcony. I sat down, tired, trying to calm myself down with a glass of wine.

I realised I had fallen asleep when i heard a loud knock on the door...

"Kasity open the door!!! Open the fucking door", Areson's voice...

I got up and unlocked the door...

"Yeah great leave me outside" he said with a disappointing look on his face...

There was something strange about him... He seemed drunk... It was 4 am...

He sat on the couch trying to rest and then I sat near him...

"So what? Was your night with Rivera nice?" I ask ironically.

"What are you talking about?" He replies, not caring much about what I was saying...

"Okay listen then. I was forced to come with you and help with some dangerous mafia business, and then all of a sudden you stay all night with our enemy and come home drunk" I angrily say and then furiously get up...

"Tell me the truth Areson. Are you with them?" I finally ask him, tears filling my eyes...

But he was drunk, he couldn't be reasonable...

"I'm just following the plan Kasity, everything is part of the plan" he coldly says and at that moment I felt weak...

"Including me?" I ask, my voice starting to tremble...

I don't think you notice, I don't think you care
I don't think you notice•

"No, Kasity I didn't mean that I-" he starts saying but I left...

I did not want to hear the rest...

'It's just a plan, everything happens according to the plan, everybody acts as planned, it's just a fucking plan, typical of Areson Kingstone' I think, tears still in my eyes...

I've learnt not to cry... I don't cry anymore...The world is too tough for people who cry...

After a few minutes, I felt Areson laying on his side of the bed...

Unconsciously, he put his arm around me...

"I'm sorry" he says...

I push his arm away and get out of the bed...

He's so drunk right now, he's just messing things up more...
