Chapter 4 - 3

October 13, 2020

4 days had passed since that discussion, I couldn't think about anything else, I wasn't communicating with dad anymore and I hate that I didn't have the heart to tell mom what was happening between dad and Adele. I was eating my basic cereal as Darren came down the stairs, he had a dance class today, he looked really serious.

He comes to me and says. "Come on." "Where should I come?"

"Come with me, I signed you up for dance classes. It'll be good for you, it'll relieve your stress. Be glad I didn't sign you up for ballet." "Thanks for the gesture but I'm not good at dancing." "It doesn't matter, I'll help you, the instructor is very nice, he won't offend you or anything like that, he'll just train you."

"Well then." We get in the car and go to dance classes. The silence was deep between me and Darren, after about 5 minutes he broke the silence."So what's wrong with you?"

I'm a little confused after hearing the question, why the hell is he interested. "Why are you interested?" He rolls his eyes, he didn't like what I asked him.

"Why wouldn't I be interested, we live in the same house, we were colleagues, I like you. All this makes me interested in your health and your mental state. So don't ask me such stupid questions anymore."

"Ok, ok so there's a lot to say and I don't know if you'll believe me." I swallowed hard as the thought made me want to throw up. "Dad is cheating on mom with Adele, I caught them in an intimate moment when I was at her house. She said she wanted to make me the heir to her properties." "Property? What property does Adele have outside of that old house?" "To be honest, I don't know maybe a loyal client of hers left her a house or an apartment. Regarding the money, I don't think she has that much money, how much money could she have made by practicing prostitution?" "I advise you to accept the offer. I know what she did to you, but what she did has passed and through this thing with the inheritance she wants to repent. She thinks that you will forgive her."

I remain confused and ask.

"How do you know about what happened?" "Your mother told me, she was sad because of the memories and wanted to vent to someone.

"After a little more meaningless chatter we arrive at the dance class.

I didn't even get in the room and I can already hear.

"WELCOME, HUGO!" They all shout and start dancing. I froze and blush. A shorter, more solid man appears in front of me and holds out his hand. I reach out to his hand knowing what he wants and he greets me. "Hugo, I'm your instructor, Aiden. Nice to meet you, you'll be treated very well by your colleagues. Forgive their enthusiasm, that's how they are, excited. Today we'll do a waltz lesson, choose a person to dance with, woman, man, whatever you want." I don't even get to analyze the words properly because Darren is already answering. "Aiden, I think Hugo should dance with me, he knows me and besides I think I should teach him the basics of dancing, he doesn't really know them."

"Ok then, you can dance together, but watch what you're doing don't fall in love, Hugo's a bit handsome." I blush when I hear the words the instructor says, but I don't say anything, I don't want trouble. We each choose a pair and start dancing, Darren danced carefully, trying not to move too hard and he shouldn't, it's just a waltz. I was blushing, I didn't really like dancing in front of everyone, I had an anxious feeling while dancing.

I had already been going to dance classes for a few days and I was really starting to like what I was learning. In a week I had learned many things. The instructor was very nice to all of us. The colleagues were a little strange, but I managed to make some friends. Serenity, Finn and Lydia instantly wanted to be my friends, they were fascinated by how quickly I learned. The classes had already ended for the day and I decided to go somewhere with Serenity, like a friendly meeting. We went to a bar near the building where I attended the dance classes.

"So. What college do you want to go to?" "Well I was thinking of going to medical school." I always wanted to become a doctor and save people's lives. Her eyes widen and she looks at me in surprise.

"Wow, medicine, don't you have a lot to study there?" "Yes, but I can handle it. What college do you want to go to?"

"Something with acting , I've always dreamed of becoming someone in the world of acting."

"Great"

"Now comes a more interesting question, do you have anyone?"

"You mean?" I ask confused not understanding what she is getting at by asking that.

"If you have someone to do it with, you fool." "Oh no, I haven't but I'm not looking for a partner either."

"I see..." I see her looking at the bartender and asking for a cocktail, she also asks for one for me. From a cocktail or 2, a glass of whiskey, 5 shots of Tequilla, 2 glasses of beer,until I lost consciousness.

I wake up, immediately feeling an unimaginably strong nausea, I look to the side and notice a girl, it's... Serenity? She was empty, it seems like I was naked too. Where the hell am I? What room did she take me to? I think as I try to find my pants. I find them and leave the place thinking...

What the hell did i do last night?
