Natalia walked over to Santiago, caressed his face and laughed as she looked at his handsome face.
After she stopped working at Santiago’s hospital, she did not join the hospital he recommended but the one he collaborated with.
And soon they had contact at work.
In the first few meetings, Natalia did not do anything to Santiago, pretending to want to avoid the misunderstanding, so Santiago dispelled the suspicion.
Santiago treated her normally until a sick person attacked him in the disorder and Natalia blocked the damage for him.
The patient stabbed her in the waist and almost damaged her arm, and as a consequence, she remained in the hospital for a month.
Within this month, Santiago personally cared for her to return the favor.
Their relationship became closer because of the contact these days and Natalia’s deliberate approach.
Santiago was no longer cautious with her and, because his relationship with Ariana was not going well, he became closer to her.
Natalia played the role of mediator between them and always comforted him. She could feel that Santiago was softer and softer with her and that’s why she approached him many times in today’s meeting.
And Santiago did not reject her.
Natalia knew she would get whatever she wanted.
They arrived at Santiago’s house and she helped him out of the car.
Santiago slept all the way and was already more awake than before.
-Where are we?
-You are drunk, so I took you home.
Santiago couldn’t walk, so Natalia let him lean against her.
Feeling his body temperature, Natalia’s cheeks turned red. She pretended to be tired and gasped softly.
Santiago was not awake. She heard a woman gasp and felt him hugging her. He opened his eyes and saw her white neck.
She smelled of fresh perfume.
Santiago was confused. He hadn’t made love for a long time, and after living with Ariana, he never connected with another woman.
He cherished Ariana and feared he would scare her away. That’s why he didn’t make love to her.
With the effect of alcohol, Santiago hugged her shoulders and moved closer to her face.
Natalia’s pulse quickened and she began to sweat. She was well groomed this day and wore a perfume that boosted sexual passion. Because of the alcohol, the perfume did the trick.
Seeing Santiago’s face approaching, Natalia became nervous and raised her head for a kiss.
Suddenly a loud noise sounded in the building.
This noise woke Santiago up. He saw Natalia, got scared and rushed to push her.
Natalia fell down and groaned.
Santiago ignored her and looked towards his house, he knew that the balcony faced this direction.
He raised his head and saw the light in the living room where there was a woman in pajamas.
It was far away and because of the dim light outside he couldn’t see Ariana’s expression clearly, but he knew she was angry. She had seen how they almost kissed.
Thinking that, Santiago became uneasy. His lips turned pale, he began to sweat, and he hurried to run toward the house. He just wanted to explain to Ariana in detail.
Natalia got up from the floor and noticed that Santiago was running toward the building. She glanced toward the balcony and laughed.
She didn’t follow him and slowly walked away.
It was her business and she couldn’t meddle, or else she would be reproached and Santiago would hate her.
Santiago stopped in front of the door, clenched his fist and frowned. He didn’t dare open it.
He wanted to explain, but he couldn’t.
He couldn’t say he wanted to kiss Natalia because of the alcohol.
He couldn’t say it. It was just an excuse.
As he was thinking that, Ariana opened the door.
Santiago saw her eyes unprepared.
She was indifferent and looked at him as if she didn’t know him.
Santiago didn’t move.
-Did you see everything?
Ariana nodded her head without changing her expression, and seeing Santiago’s uneasiness, she laughed.
-If you love her, you should have told me soon. You didn’t have to scare me by doing that.
Her words were cold and Santiago was overwhelmed. He stepped forward and wanted to tell her everything.
However, Ariana pulled back and looked at him cautiously.
Santiago became desperate. He knew he had done something unforgivable and Ariana would not forgive him.
-I’m sorry.
I could only say that. He didn’t explain himself. He had made a big mistake.
Ariana turned her head away. She didn’t want to see his desperate look. He took a deep breath and told her:
-I’m going to ask you something and you have to answer me honestly.
Santiago raised his head and looked at her.
-Have you contacted Natalia often these days?
Natalia said she was disgusting for sending a detective to watch Santiago, but the detective was seriously fulfilling his task, although Ariana didn’t ask him for the pictures.
She was busy these days and because of the misunderstanding, she didn’t want to pay much attention to Santiago. Besides, she still believed that Santiago would not betray her.
Santiago was quiet for a while and nodded his head.
-Yes. We had a collaboration at work and it was damaged because of me.
Ariana took a deep breath and wanted to cry. She blinked to hold back the tears and calm her voice.
-Do you visit her when you rest?
Santiago felt sad and nodded without daring to look at her face.
Ariana’s eyes turned red with anger and her body trembled.
-Did Natalia also go to the party? Did you reject her approach?
Santiago was surprised by her words.
-Yes or no?!
Ariana’s lips were trembling and she looked at Santiago angrily.
Santiago felt embarrassed by her look.
-No!
Albina laughed. She laughed until she started to cry. She dried her tears and looked at him.
-Did you fall in love with her?
Santiago pressed his lips together, saw Ariana trembling and caught his fingers. She didn’t have the courage to answer.
-Let’s not go on, you’re unstable now. Tomorrow…
-Answer me! Yes or no?! -Ariana insisted in a hoarse voice.
Santiago did not dare to meet her eyes. After a few moments, he recognized him.
-Yes. But just a second, just a second….
Ariana sank as she heard his answer. She staggered and leaned against a column to keep from falling.
