Desire
"Ned what the hell did you just say?" I semi-yelled about to fall off the damn sofa.
"I cheated on Twan with Valerie."
"Who the hell is Valerie? No it don't matter who the hell she is. Why in the hell did you cheat on Twan?" I folded my arms and looked at her like she was crazy.
"It happened months ago, but I still haven't told Twan."
"WHAT!?" Ned what in the actual fuck? Why Ned?"
"We had a threesome a while ago and out the blue she showed up at the hospital and one thing led to another."
"You know this is a mess. I can't believe you of all people cheated on Twan. Was it worth it-you know what don't answer that question because when you have a man that's been faithful to you and holds you down its never worth it. Do you know how this is going to make him feel as a man? God Ned!"
"Damn Ned you watched how cheating broke me down and then you go out and do the same damn thing. Hell you can't get on August now."
I sighed because I was coming off strong, but I was hurting myself and hearing this shit just blew me away. I would have never guessed it in a million years that my best friend would be telling me that she had cheated.
"Whose idea was it to have a threesome?"
"Mine."
"Wow! I cannot even. Lemme ask you something, is Valerie someone you picked and did you know her before hand?"
"Yes I knew and picked her, but I had messed with her once back in college, but that was after all the crazy shit with my ex."
"Oh Fix it Jesus. Ned so you...you know what I'm so done man. When you planning on telling Twan?"
"Honestly Desire I don't know. I'm afraid because I know he is going to leave me."
"Ned, I love you like a sister, but you can't keep this secret because if that girl feels pushed aside trust and believe she gon' do whatever she gotta do to hurt you. You know that Ned because we are females and we are hurt we don't always think clearly in the decisions we make, especially when we are in love."
I watched as tears streamed down her face and I knew she hadn't really thought about any of this. No matter what I was gon' be here for her, but at the same time I was just gon' be real about it because that's what real friends do.
"Ned I support you and I got your back, but I can't and won't support you in cheating. This is why so many marriages fail because of one or the other is cheating. You need to woman up and tell him since you were woman enough to step in that arena."
"I know and I think that I will tell him tonight."
"You better before somebody else does."
"I know and thanks for keeping it real with me."
"Always boo."
"I guess me and Ty gon' head out, but I will call you tomorrow."
"Okay."
We hugged and she headed upstairs to get Ty. I had just got comfortable and started back looking at the books I was before Ned got here, when my doorbell rung. I sighed and got up walking towards the door. I swung the door open.
"August...."

I sat at in the dark corner of my living room thinking about how life would be if I hadn't cheated on Desire back then. I was young and dumb. Camille was a mistake then and sure is one now. Karma is real because after I married her I saw her true and evil ways. She was pregnant twice and aborted both babies, but went and got pregnant by my best friend. She kept the baby, but she has nothing to do with the baby.
