“Give that to me,” she said, holding out her hand.
He stayed still.
“Give it to me,” she said again.
Sammy looked at her for a moment before agreeing. “Okay.”  “You’re not that heavy, anyway,” he said, looking at her figure. “I’ll just carry you home if you get drunk.”
“Raph,” Tonia said, but she didn’t seem to hear him.
She frowned after filling her glass. Then she took the dispenser from Sammy. There was a lot of whisky in it, but she drank it anyhow.
Then she threw the dispenser on the floor, breaking it. “I agree to get a divorce, Raph.”  We’re done starting now—no, starting now.
She turned around and left. To her astonishment, she almost fell when she ran into someone at the door. Sammy quickly grabbed her.
She looked at his seat and questioned, “Can you teleport or something?”
He didn’t answer; instead, he added, “Watch out.”
The new person said sorry. “I’m sorry I’m late, Tonia.”
Tonia couldn’t see who the new person was since she was drunk. However, she remembered phoning Raph’s best buddy, Justin McCarl, before she got to the café.
Justin was younger than Raph in college and helped him launch the company. Now, he was the company’s deputy CEO and one of Raph’s greatest friends.
Tonia felt dizzy, like she was standing on a cloud. “Oh, you’re here…”
Justin laughed and said, “I wouldn’t dare stand you up, Tonia.”
She smiled more and stretched out her hand. “Come on.”  “Give me a hand.”
Justin didn’t think much of this. He was ready to take her hand, but she pulled away before they could touch.
She lurched back, as if she had hit a wall. It hurt, and her head spun. “Why is the room getting smaller?”  There was a wall there, right?  Why is it here now? ”
Justin could see she was inebriated. He knew Sammy and responded, “Hi, Sammy.”
Sammy nodded and grimaced as he leaned back a little to cling on to Tonia.
“Sammy, why is Tonia so drunk? “Justin asked.
“Hey, Justin, do you know what? “Tonia smiled and glanced up from Sammy’s arms. “Your best friend’s new wife is over there.”
She pointed at Raph and Ayra.
When Justin met Ayra, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Was he seeing double?
“What’s going on here, Raph?” he questioned.  Are you playing a game called “Find the Difference”? ”
Raph didn’t seem happy. “What are you doing here?”
That made Justin bewildered. “Didn’t you and Tonia tell me to come?  She also told me to hurry up.
“Tonia called you?”
“Yeah.” Justin knew something was wrong, but he didn’t know what. He scratched his head in concern. “I can’t tell which Tonia called me, though.”
Sammy didn’t know what Tonia was doing, so he helped her get up. “Wake up, Tonia.”
She squinted and her face turned red. “What’s going on?”
“Did you ask Justin to come here?” Sammy enquired. ”
“Justin…  Oh, I see.  “Yeah, I did.” She spun around and fell into Justin’s arms. Then she replied with a smile, “You wanted me to call my man over, didn’t you, Raph?  He is here now.
Raph’s face changed. He shoved Ayra away and jumped to his feet, pulling Tonia to him. “What the hell are you doing, Tonia?”
She fought hard to get away. “It hurts.”  “Let me go…”
“You should make yourself plain.  What the hell do you mean? ”
Tonia laughed again. “You asked me to introduce you to my new boyfriend, so I did.  Now you’re angry.  “Raph, you’re so hard to please…”
Raph’s face changed a lot, and he pulled Tonia along with him.
“Don’t be like this, Raph,” Justin urged quickly.  “Tonia can’t handle how strong you are…”
Raph paused and turned to face him. “I’ll take care of this later.”
Justin was confused. “What’s going on with you two?  Why are you acting so strange? ”
He wanted to hurry after them to find out what was going on, but Sammy stopped him. “Have they fought?” he questioned. ”
“Okay, so don’t go over.  Let them take care of things on their own.
“Raph doesn’t seem right, though.  I’ve never seen him like that before.  “It’s scary.”
Sammy grinned a little. “Don’t worry.”  He wouldn’t hurt Tonia in any way, even if he blew up the Earth.
It was hard for Tonia to keep up with Raph. He was virtually pulling her along. By the time they got to the bistro’s entrance, she couldn’t walk anymore, so she grabbed the pillars next to it and wouldn’t let go.
Raph had to stop. “You’d better explain yourself, Tonia.”  What are you and Justin up to? “She was still out of it. “Don’t you already know the answer?  Why are you still asking me? ”
He laughed in frustration and said, “You’re still lying to me.”
“Why do you think that?”
He stated with confidence, “There’s nothing between you two.”  “I could tell he was lost before; he clearly doesn’t know anything about this.”
Tonia snorted and glanced at him.  “You know more about men than I do, Raph. It’s always more fun to sleep with your friend’s wife, isn’t it? I…”
She was no longer able to speak.  The whisky had gotten the best of her.
All of a sudden, she was carried off her feet.  Raph had already picked her up before she even knew what was going on.
She moved around like a fish out of water.  “Raph, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?”
“You want to be a slut, right? I’ll take you to a whorehouse so you can get what you want.”
“Let me go! You’re a jerk, Raph!”
He didn’t say anything at all.  Instead, he put her in the backseat of the car and locked the doors.  Someone behind him put their arms around his neck when he started the automobile.
