gloss in the car. Kayla was a natural beauty, without exotic features like slanted eyes or high cheek bones. She had caramel colored skin, which was free of all traces of acne and blemishes. She had big brown eyes, full lips, and her nose did make her look like she had some form of island decent but to her knowledge she did not. Kayla was petite in stature, standing a few inches above five feet. She only 5’3” and weighed around one hundred and twenty-seven pounds. She was far from having a video girl body shape, but her full 36DD’s gave her small frame just enough enhancement to make her stand out. Kayla didn’t mind that she didn’t have any super special features about her to make her stand out over the top. She enjoyed that she could still turn heads without having to spend hours in the mirror to make it happen. Kayla often kept her shoulder length hair pulled up or back. Very seldom did she wear it down.
After pulling out of the driveway, Kayla found herself driving to the only person she could share her recent concerns about her husband with.
Thirty minutes later Kayla pulled up to Stephanie’s condo and got out. The cool brisk winter air hit her, and she welcomed the breeze instead of running from it. Lately, she had been feeling like she was suffocating, and finally she was able to breathe.
It felt good.
After greeting the doorman and taking the elevator up to the thirteenth floor, the familiar suffocating feeling suddenly came back. She had difficulty breathing again, and she had the urge to vomit. Kayla ran from the elevator to Stephanie’s door. She knocked continuously and consecutively until her friend appeared. Sprinting past her, she reached the half-bathroom down the hallway in time to empty her entire breakfast in the commode.
“Do you need water?” Stephanie asked from the threshold.
“I do. Thank you.”
“What brings you here so early and what happened to you?”
“I didn’t know where else to go or who else to talk to,” Kayla answered, wiping her mouth with tissue.
Immediately, Kayla broke down and poured her heart out to Stephanie.
“Why would he do this to me? We make love at least five times a week, we go out on dates, and I don’t nag him about working all the time. I’m the same woman he married. I just don’t understand why he would do this to me.”
“C’mon don’t do this to yourself. You aren’t even sure if he’s having an affair. You’re just assuming he is. Don’t drive yourself crazy over a thought.”
“It’s a strong thought. He was supposed to be in Richmond that weekend, not at the Marriott or at some restaurant eating. The fact that he put it on his credit card knowing that I could see the statement shows me that he doesn’t care anymore. He didn’t even try to hide it. What if he wants to leave me for her? What would I do without him? He is my whole world, and I would die if he left me!”
“Kayla Barnes, let me tell you something right now! You will not blame yourself for the actions of a trifling ass man. I told you he was no good. He thinks with his little head, not his big head, like most men. What you have to realize sweetie is that men love new pussy and there’s nothing you can say or do to change that.”
Kayla noticed Stephanie staring off as she talked to her. Kayla knew that this whole ordeal was taking Stephanie back to when her ex cheated on her. She felt bad for sending her friend on a trip back down memory lane but appreciated the support she was getting.
It felt good for her to be able to tell someone else about the pain she was experiencing. Kayla continued to talk for what seemed like hours and now that the words were coming out of her mouth, she was convinced that her husband was having an affair, and she knew she had to confront him and get the truth.
Stephanie listened to her best friend of the last four years cry her heart out about her husband. The day of the wedding, Stephanie tried to warn her about him, but
