"What happened to you?" Sophie who was singing along with Jenifer Lopez lowered the volume of the car stereo system and asked her.
She had been so happy after leaving that hotel that she was either talking about Joseph or singing loudly during the drive.
"Nothing! Why?"
Sophie looked at her anxiously, "You are not yourself. Did Rafael say something?"
"No! He said nothing,"
"We always sang this song together and today you seem miles away as if you can’t hear the singer or me... Did you even listen to what I said about Joseph?" Marissa felt guilty.
Her friend was very close to finding her happiness and she didn’t want to make it about herself. All these years it had been about her pain, her kids, her husband, her sister, her heart ... and her fate.
And Sophie not only listened to her quite patiently but kept counseling her.
Today she deserved the same enthusiasm from Marissa.
"I was just thinking," Marissa brought a playful tinge to her voice.
"Thinking? And what is that?"
"Joseph told you about the location of his house. Are you planning to do it there or should I book a room in the same hotel so that you two can bang each other and ... ouch!"
She screamed with fake pain when Sophie smacked her thigh, "Brat!" she spat but Marissa could see the glow on her face.
"So, what do you think? Do your vibes match?" she asked her friend curiously.
Sophie gave her a shy smile and shrugged, "I don’t know. We talked about History and then the topic switched to our professions. We both have been alone for most of our lives..."
"I wasn’t asking for these vibes, silly!" Marissa rolled her eyes and huffed loudly.
"Then what vibes we are talking about here?"
"Se*xual vibes, dork!" she touched her tongue tip to her upper lip to show some kinkiness.
Sophie’s hand again lifted to slap her leg, but this time Marissa quickly moved to the door and started giggling.
"Did you two kiss?" another silly question from Marissa.
"Marissa! What has gotten into you?"
"Come on. Tell me, dude. Did you?" she whooped when found Sophie’s cheeks blushing, "You did! Oh my God!"
"Well!" Sophie slowed the car when they neared the house, "Nobody ever told me that a kiss could be so ecstatic!"
***
Yes. She was happy for her friend.
Yes. She felt lucky she had Sophie in her life.
Yes. She didn’t need any negative Delinda in her life.
Yes. She didn’t want to give a damn about that fake friend.
But why did it hurt so much?
What will they all do once they learn about Rafael and me? Will all of them start hating me?
Oh, God please, no.
She hugged Flint before he got inside the car.
"Take care of yourself, Mar," he said from the passenger window.
"Instead of staying here alone go to the penthouse and enjoy the room service," Sophie whispered while hugging her.
She didn’t want Marissa to spend any minute here without kids or Rafael.
"Yeah. We’ll see!"
"Interested in having dinner?"
She decided to type a decent reply, "Sorry, Gerard. Tonight, I’m busy."
She typed more, "Busy discussing some office work online with a colleague."
"This is way past your office time, Mar. If you want, you can join me late."
"I don’t think my work will be finished by then, G. I’ll let you know if it does."
"My date ditched me at the last minute so if you change your mind come and join me in the Blue Nightclub."

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
Great story when I we expect an update...
