Will looked at his phone and sighed irritably. There were five missed calls, an angry voicemail and several text messages from his ex-wife demanding where he was. There were other missed calls and abusive text messages from a number he didn’t recognise. He assumed it was his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.
He knew full well why they were calling and why they were so angry. He had agreed to go to a party they were throwing but a tip-off from a friend told him that they wanted to use the party to announce their engagement and wanted Will there so they could humiliate him. So, he made the decision not to attend. Not having the decency to tell his ex-wife of his absence was what had made her so angry. His refusal to be riled, angry, cry or show any emotion after their separation ate into his ex-wife and she had become obsessed with hurting him.
That party he just did not need. It had been three months since his divorce. Will’s wife out of the blue told him she was leaving him. He had been blindsided. He had not seen it coming. Just shy of twenty-five years of marriage and two grown-up children she just ups and leaves. No, ‘It is me, not you’ or ‘I love you but I’m not in love with you’ but a brutal, ‘I can’t bear to stay married to you any longer.’
The manner of her leaving put a strain on her relationship with her children and her new younger boyfriend’s attempts to parent their children meant they rarely visited their mother. She demanded that they both attend the party, but they flat-out refused. Sharing their mother’s trait of brutal honesty, they told their mother of their intense disapproval and dislike of her boyfriend. That neither Will nor her children would be attending her engagement party would bring huge embarrassment to her as her attempts to present a happy family and the amicable divorce that she gushed over social media and her friends would be left exposed and in ruins.
All the same, Will could have done without his ex-wife blowing up his phone. He took a long drink of his cold beer. It tasted good and refreshing, the evening was still and hot, much hotter than he was used to for early May. Instead of going to the party, Will had booked a last-minute trip to Madrid where the weather was hot and sunny—a perfect place to escape and unwind after an emotional and stressful year.
The bar he was in was a modern rooftop bar of the very expensive hotel he was staying at and could not realistically afford. The glass holding his beer was cold to the touch from being in the freezer and the frozen condensation on the glass was melting in the hot evening air. At that moment, there was nothing in the world he loved more than that beer.
As he drank, a glamorous woman flamboyantly approached the bar. She was, obviously Spanish. Her dark olive skin contrasted strongly with her loose yet short bright lime green dress, thin straps holding it on her shoulders. Long, black luxurious hair flared down her back. Her dark brown eyes seemed to sparkle in the failing light. Her smooth legs appeared to gleam like they were demanding to be admired.
‘Vino Blanco, Sergio!’ she asked the bartender breezily with a friendly smile.
Will’s phone rang loudly again,
‘Tsk!’ exclaimed Will with annoyance as he hung up, immediately silencing the phone.
‘Por qué la cara mala, guapo?’ the woman asked Will quizzically on seeing and hearing his annoyance as her white wine was poured by Sergio.
Will looked up and his face flushed with embarrassment. He was not used to being called handsome.
‘I’m sorry. It was my ex-wife,’ he replied in English, a little sheepishly without thinking.
The woman’s face cracked into a smile, she thanked Sergio and took her wine before sitting down next to Will and resting her chin on her hand looking at him with great interest.
