Ariana’s face suddenly turned red.
-No…
Albina looked at her suspiciously.
-And that face? Are you still the Ariana I know?
When Ariana heard what she said, she unconsciously touched her cheek, it was really very hot. She said shyly:
-He’s just a funny guy.
Albina shook her finger:
-You are interested in him, this is a sign that you like someone.
Ariana looked at her expression, covered her mouth and smiled:
-Albina, not long ago you were an idiot in love, and now you are a teacher?
Seeing her laugh, Albina stomped over, picked up the candle from the table and lit it:
-Look, your feelings for Santiago are like this candle. At first, there was only a tiny spark. Every time you say one more sentence, talk more for a while and meet one more time, the fire will become stronger and stronger.
As he spoke, he fiddled with the wick, the flames became more and more vigorous, the candle emitted a trail of blue smoke and the body of the candle inside burned and turned into candle tears.
-In the end, this fire can burn you, do you understand?
Albina felt her metaphor was very appropriate. With Santiago’s changeable temperament, he was not just a flame, but a bomb. It exploded at an unknown moment, then blew up Ariana’s heart and could not be restored to its original state
Ariana was no fool, as a painter, she was more delicate and sensitive than Albina. Looking at the scented candle in her hand, as she approached, the firelight reflected off her eyebrows, calm and peaceful.
She whispered to Albina:
-If the fire in my heart has already begun?
-Then put it out before it burns out completely.
As Albina spoke, she simply reached out her fingers and pinched the flame of the wick with both hands.
-It’s too hot.
She took a deep breath, saw that her fingers had turned red.
Ariana reluctantly took her hand and went to the faucet to clean it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she sighed in relief.
-Are you silly?
-I just want you to know what happens next,” Albina pinched her fingertips and looked at her, asking eagerly. So what are you thinking now?
Ever since she heard Umberto say that Santiago often changed girls, she didn’t want Ariana to have too much contact with him, she was so afraid that Ariana would get hurt.
The scented candle had gone out, not a wisp of blue smoke remained, just a blackened wick.
Ariana stared at the candle, after a long time, suddenly picked up the lighter and relit the candle.
Albina suddenly raised her head and looked at it blankly.
Ariana held the candle and smiled softly at her.
-Albina, the fire has already started and will not be extinguished.
Her expression was calm, as if she had made a decision, it looked the same as before, but it seemed to be completely different.
-I just know that I like Santiago now, and he loves me too. He is pursuing me. I want to give him a chance.
Ariana suddenly stopped as she said this, and looked at Albina:
-If he cheats on me, I don’t regret it.
Albina looked at her face fixedly, after a long time, she suddenly smiled:
-Since you already made a decision, I won’t say anything more, Ariana, I just hope you will be happy.
Not like her before.
Ariana knew what she was thinking. Albina suffered a great emotional loss before. Even though she and Umberto were back together now, the previous wounds could never heal, and the scars would remain.
She stepped forward and hugged Albina, she said softly.
-Don’t worry.
The next day, Umberto drove her to work as usual, after Albina came downstairs and saw Umberto in leather shoes, she couldn’t hold back and walked over.
Umberto thought she wanted to hug him, so she opened her arms happily, but before she could speak, suddenly her foot was stomped hard.
Even though she didn’t wear high heels, she gave a few more times when she stepped on it.
Umberto groaned, and Albina let go of his feet. On her clean, shiny leather shoes, there was a gray and white heel print.
Albina gave a snort, quickly climbed into the passenger seat, buckled her seat belt, and turned her head toward the window.
-Albina, what’s wrong with you?
Umberto was confused, he got into the car and asked, but Albina didn’t answer him. He touched his head, he still didn’t know what happened.
They didn’t say a word until Albina got out of the car. As he saw Albina enter the company, her back slowly disappeared, he frowned.
It wasn’t until lunchtime when Santiago suddenly sent a message to the group.
-I have good news for you, I’m in love.
Camilo quickly replied:
-Who is that girl?
Umberto also took it as a joke. Santiago had never been serious about his relationships, when he saw a beautiful girl, he said he was in love. They were both used to it.
But this time it was different, this time Santiago said straightforwardly:
-Don’t talk nonsense, I really fell in love. I met my goddess, Albina’s friend Ariana, do you remember? She promised to be with me.
As he spoke, he also sent several emojis, looking very happy.
For a long time, there was no response in the group.
Umberto looked at Santiago’s news, suddenly understanding. It was no wonder Albina had treated him like that in the morning.
He had just told Albina that Santiago was a Don Juan, but she immediately managed to her best friend, so it was no wonder Albina was angry. If she had a sister who was with Santiago, she wouldn’t be happy either!
After a long time, Camilo sent a private message to Santiago.
-Are you serious? If you dare to disappoint Ariana this time, Umberto and Albina will not forgive you.
Santiago answered very seriously.
-I am sincere this time, I really love her very much.
His tone was very serious and when he mentioned Ariana’s name, it was full of love.
-You send the message to the group for Umberto.
Not long after, Santiago sent the message again in the group and then he swore to Umberto.
-If I cheat on Ariana, I’m going to die.
Umberto and Santiago had been good friends for so many years and I could hear the seriousness in his tone. Although he didn’t know what would happen in the future, at least at this moment, he really liked Ariana and his feelings for her were serious.
Umberto calmed down a bit and sent a screenshot of these words, along with the voice, to Albina.
After a long time, she sent him back an emoji.
Umberto breathed a sigh of relief. Albina did not blacklist him and sent him an emoji. The crisis was resolved.
After thinking about this, something occurred to him. Since he was a child, he had never been so careful to please anyone, and he had never cared so much about a person’s feelings, no one dared to get angry with him. He lived a free and unfettered life, doing what he wanted.
But now, how could he be more and more afraid of Albina being angry? After a long time, he sighed, and he should be very happy to be handled by the person he liked.
There was constant news in the group.
The sounds were very annoying, Umberto looked at his cell phone and saw Santiago still sending messages in the group, sharing his daily life with his girlfriend.
He had just been accepted, had he already had a date? Did he go to the amusement park?
