“You need to make things right with Iam, Dante,” I mumbled, pulling away from him.

“I know, love. I'll fix it. I don't think he'll understand easily but, I'll fix it. I promise,” we kissed softly. I'm still bitter about what happened with Iam. In spite of everything, he is a good man. A gentleman and he deserves a requited love.

We go back to the hospital in complete silence. I know Dante is upset about what happened with Iam and I couldn’t help but put myself in his place. I don't know what would happen if it was my case with Isa for example. We arrived and before we got off, he held my hand and gave me a sweet kiss.

“I love you, baby," he whispered, pressing his forehead to mine. “I want everything with you, love, and when I say everything, it's everything, Paula. I don't want games. I don't want lies,” I just fixed my eyes on him.

“I will say the same thing, Dante. If there will be lies between us then this is it.”

I pointed my finger, "It's not going to work.”

 He nodded in agreement.

“We've made that clear, now let's go upstairs,”  he said, leaving a kiss on my hand.

We went upstairs to Kathy's living room. She was sleeping, so was Sara on the couch next to her.

“Sara!” I whispered softly. “I'm here, go rest," she opened her eyes and smiled.

 “ How is Katy?”  I asked, looking at my sister.

“She is doing well. The doctor has come and told me that she will stay here for three days. And depending on how she continues, she will be discharged. But she is already feeling great," she said and my heart rejoiced.

“Yes, Sara. I know my princess is going to be all right. She's strong and she's going to get through this,” I mused, looking at her with tenderness and sadness.

“I know she is, Paula. She's a very strong girl.”

“Thank you, Sara, for everything but you should go now," I said.

“Is that handsome guy your boyfriend?" I smiled, embarrassed and turned red as a tomato. I felt my face burn.

“Yes, he's my boyfriend," I finally answered with embarrassment.

“Oh thank goodness," she said, clasping her hands together.” it was about time.”

“Sara," I said, laughing, embarrassed.

“It's just that I thought you were going to be like this all your life,” she said.

“What a thing to say, Sara. I was waiting for the right one and that's it," I said.

“You're a good girl. I'm leaving now," she said hurriedly and took her purse. She left a kiss on my cheek, "I'll be back tomorrow Paula," I nodded my head affirming.

  “Thank you for everything, Sara, see you tomorrow,” I walked her out. Sara said goodbye to Dante.

  “You should go home and rest too, Dante," he left a soft kiss on my forehead.

“I'll go, but later baby, or don't you want me by your side?” This is really strange and all very fast and I don't know how to explain what I feel. It's strange that overnight all this has happened.

“Of course, I do," I caressed his face. He closed his eyes at my touch, took my hands, and kissed them one by one. I still don't believe that after the way things went between him and me, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now. I misjudged him and he too and here we are, apparently in love.

After a while, my friend Isabela arrived with her boyfriend. As always, she ran desperately towards me.

“Friend, How are you? How's Katy?”

“Fine, Isa. She's asleep right now,” I replied as she turned to look at Dante.

“Good evening, Mr. De Luca," she greeted not very kindly. I raised an eyebrow, trying to make a gesture.

“Good evening miss,” greeted Dante kindly. Isa turned around making an amused gesture wiggling her eyebrows to which I wanted to laugh. But I pressed my lips into a thin line.

Dante greeted Santiago, and I think they know each other too. Santiago greeted me and returned to talk to Dante.

It was then that Dante came up to me to say goodbye.

“Baby, I think it's time for me to go,” he murmured in my ear and I felt my skin shiver.
“Okay, I'll see you tomorrow?”

“That's right, Love. I'll come tomorrow. If anything happens, please, don't hesitate to call me at any time, okay?”

“Yes, Dante, thank you," I bit my lip without realizing it. He leaned close to my ear again, bending his face to my height.

“Stop teasing me, because I'll be tempted to take you right here in front of everyone," he growled hoarsely, grinning wickedly. And there in front of my friend he left a rough kiss on my mouth while I stifled a moan. Isa, confused by the situation, opened her eyes wide.

“Goodnight," he turned to Isabela, bidding them farewell. He gave me one last look and walked away. My eyes still lost in his musculature in his impressive physique and height.

Isa came up to me, hitting me with her arm.
