Jealousy and Lies 

outside - still - even - quite - still - enough - hardly ever - carelessly - outside - strangely - still - terribly

Santi’s car stopped outside the restaurant at 10pm.
He was
still wearing his work clothes which were (still) dirty from a long day in the fish factory. He opened the door and didn’t look at me as he stood net to our table. It took a long time for someone to speak. I couldn’t believe he had found us. “Have you had to eat?” he asked David. I saw panic in David’s eyes. He is lost for words, but now he just sat there. Santi took David’s napkin and threw it on the floor, . “I’d like to speak to you David.” said Santi. I felt relieved as both men left the restaurant and people around me started speaking again. I was worried and I felt guilty when I had seen the pain in Santi’s eyes.

both – quietly – never -  enough – curiously – quite – even – finally – freely – still - immediately

Santi and David stood silently in the street, waiting for the other to speak. “ How long have you been seeing my wife?” asked Santi, . “About four months,” replied David. “ Look Santi, I had any intention….” “Shut up! Don’t you think you’ve done damage?” cried Santi, causing late-night shoppers to look at the two men . David was surprised when Santi hit him. He didn’t think Santi would use violence. He thought that Santi might walk away and say nothing. When Maria left the restaurant , she saw David on the floor. Blood was running from his nose and onto his white shirt.  Santi was standing there, his body shaking with anger. Almost I took Santi’s hand and pulled him away.                   

outside - still - even - quite - still - enough - hardly ever - carelessly - outside - strangely - still - terribly

We walked to his car that he had left in the middle of the road, the engine running. I opened the car door and Santi got inside. I couldn’t tell him I was sleeping with David for the money. He wasn’t old enough to understand.
