“I will not give any reproach, if he touches you he will die right away,” he threatened with anger that could turn my blood cold.
“That’s too much, Sean, I’ll make sure he doesn’t touch me,” I promise, and I don’t intend to be touched by other men either.
“Then don’t work in the same place as him.”
I exhaled heavily, should I discuss this in a dance state? In the middle of a party?
“I’ll find another music school for you,” he says again, I chuckle in frustration, he starts to abuse his authority.
“Sean, you don’t have to interfere in all my life, you can’t.”
“I can.” We stared at each other in silence, I tried to make him understand, what’s the matter with this man?
“Sean, don’t be like this, I can take care of some things in my life myself,” I said trying to be patient.
“I want you to always be in my care, Ariana, you are very precious to me, if anything happens to you...”
I saw the sad and hurt look on his face, it scratched me, I kissed the corner of his lips to calm him down.
“Nothing will happen to me Sean, I know you will always be there for me, but don’t just use your authority like this.”
Sean stopped moving and grabbed my lips, I was shocked and tried to push him, sure enough, it’s at the party. My efforts were in vain because Sean was like a stone statue to me, I just gave up accepting his kisses that could always affect me.
“We’ll talk about this later,” he said when our kiss ended, Atika came to interrupt us. Sean also went to follow the woman to talk about something, and I had to say yes.
“I promise it won’t be long,” he promised then gave me a quick kiss on the lips before leaving. I feel thirsty, my mouth and throat feel dry. I went to the dining table and took a drink, only wine, Really?? I had to take the dark red liquid and gulp it down with a slight frown at the strong smell of alcohol.
“Hi.”
I turned my face and Ariel smiled, I put down the glass of wine I had just taken a sip, it was hot in my throat and a little bitter mixed with sweetness.
“I’d like to dance with you if I may.”
I looked at Ariel with a feeling of dilemma, Sean must not be happy with this.
“I’m tired, Ariel, sorry,” I refused, I didn’t want to fight with Sean just because of this man. I can see the disappointment in his eyes, but I try not to care, I don’t want to add to the problems in my married life, even though the real problems haven’t been eliminated, but adding another problem will make it worse.
“Have you thought about my offer to work for Mozart?”
I took a sip of my wine then swallowed hard.
“Yes, but Sean doesn’t agree,” I answered honestly, I saw Ariel with an irritated expression.
“You’re talented, Ariana, we need someone like you, Mozart doesn’t take just anyone.” He tried to persuade, I agreed in my mind but how long should I argue with Sean. I shrugged my shoulders, this topic just reached a dead end, I finished my drink feeling used to it.
A few seconds later, my head felt dizzy. I said goodbye to the toilet because I felt sick to my stomach. My vision is getting blurry, you bastard! My Inner Goddess cursed at me with a scornful face, it’s just a glass of wine and I’m already like someone who has drunk a whole bottle. I rolled my eyes and caught Sam’s figure.
“Mrs. Valentino, are you all right?” he asked, I shook my head.
“Please, take me to the toilet,” I begged Sam, the man supported me, I couldn’t walk normally because my steps were staggering. I took out all my guts into the closet, then pressed the flash button, then closed the closet and sat on it.
“Hey, what’s wrong, honey? Are you sick?” Sean stood in front of me then squatted down and held my hand, I shook my head, feeling dizzy still whacking me.
“I want to go home,” I asked looking down, Sean agreed to my request and supported me.
“I’ll carry you,” he says and I nod, my legs like jelly now. I have drained all the contents of my stomach because of the cursed drink.
While in the car, I put my head on Sean’s comfortable chest, he hugged me, giving me a sense of security and comfort, my eyes finally felt heavy and I fell asleep.
**
I woke up at three in the morning with my head throbbing and feeling heavy. Sean seemed to be fast asleep while hugging me like his favorite doll. Slowly, I removed his arm that was holding me, not so difficult because he was asleep, then I sat up immediately while adjusting my vision and neutralized the slight dizziness in my head. I staggered off a bit, I’m a lousy class at alcohol and I have no intention of trying it again. I stepped into Sean’s mini bar and looked for the medicine box there, I remember seeing the medicine box here. I finally found it and grabbed the advill then ran to the kitchen. I swallowed the advill then took a sip of water, I stood leaning against the closed refrigerator door. My stomach is hungry, after the dizziness that was whacking me subsided and cleared my vision again, I took my body away from the refrigerator and opened it, I decided to make a sandwich, there is a slice of meat here and I just have to bake it in Teflon for a while. I took out rye bread, celery, tomatoes. And mozzarella cheese. I thought back to the party, before I got drunk Sean left me to talk to Atika, I wanted to know what they were talking about.
The smell of grilled meat made my stomach scream even more for something to be filled, I was surprised and flinched when Sean wrapped his arm around my waist from behind.
