The dance moves are repeated throughout the song and Selena sings and her foot keeps the pace. The following songs have a similar rhythm and people are enjoying the music the way they want, whether talking or dancing or drinking or even all of those altogether. Some couples exchange caresses while they are having fun with their friends. Alex shows up with two more glasses and smiles at her.
- Go on, it's almost your birthday... I want to be the first one to celebrate the passage with you. You will need this. It wasn’t easy for me. Almost lost my mind.
- Seriously? Nobody noticed it... - the young woman jokes and takes a sip - Do you think I don't remember? I never saw you during daylight. You only went out at dusk and came back in the next morning to sleep. I had to go to the meeting points all by myself… three times. You never talked to me. You just looked at me with tears in your eyes and then turned your back to go to your room. You even scared me at that time you punched your bedroom door when you were about to speak to me... You were really in bad shape, there are no words to describe it to you. Aunt Irene was so worried about you, that even she barely spoke to me. At least Simon distracted me with his selfishness and his egocentric world. What a waste of my time and my feelings. I got so fed up with everything that my mind was set up to slap you in the face in the next morning and bring you back to reality and to your responsibilities. You got lucky… right before my breakfast you showed up already back to your usual dummy self... Well, not the same, you changed somehow... Don't look at me like that, Alex, you know how much I like you and that I was worried about you… And that's it, I said it! Of course that I will deny these words if one day you repeat them to someone else.
- You? You were going to hit ME? - Alex laughs with his hand on the chest - You and who else? -
Before having the opportunity to reply, a woman approaches with two more drinks, she is the same the bartender eye winked to a while ago. The glasses are placed on the wooden table and she sits next to him on the black leather sofa.
- I hope that I am not bothering, lovebirds! I want to introduce myself to this beautiful girl, as this "boy" here does not. Right, Mr. Alexander? I'm Andrea, the owner of the bar. Accept this round as a welcoming courtesy to the newest couple ... - and before she can finish her words, Selena leans forward and interrupts her.
- Sorry but let me fix your misunderstanding. I am Alexander's sister… which makes us family but not a couple. - smiling, she extends her hand and continues - My name is Selena. Nice to meet you. I really enjoy your space. Everything is so beautifully decorated! I love it.
Andrea returns the smile, looks at Alex and back at the young woman.
- Thank you, Selena. The drink offer remains anyway. I like to see your chemistry... I'm sorry but I have to help my darling Nestor over there at the bar. Welcome to this space and I hope this is your first of many visits here.
Selena finishes the previous beer while looking at the hostess. She seems to be over thirty, close to forty, but not much more than that. The wavy brown hair controlled by a thin silver headband reveals her perfect make up. The way she walks on the dark green high-heeled shoes, makes the young woman think about her own lack of femininity. In the meanwhile, Andrea leans over the counter and speaks in the barman’s ear, who after a moment looks at their table and raises his thumb to question if everything is okay. Alexander nods and answers in the same way while he raises his glass with the other hand to thank the drink.
- Nestor is Andrea's husband. He was the one who took me home at my time of darkness. I owe him so much. Oh, look, there is Thais.
