had to tell Candace last month when Johnny had used him as an alibi for one of his late-night romps with Vivana. Bernard had been livid. “I hear you, partner,” Johnny said.
    â€œGood.”
    â€œI’m almost there now. I’ll be careful.”
    â€œMan, you’re playing with danger. Vivana is nothing but trouble. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave that alone. But if not, just leave me out of it.”
    Johnny didn’t want to get into it again with Bernard, and he didn’t want to ruin what was going to be a great evening ahead by talking to a man who had clearly lost his edge. He knew that just because his friend had messed up it didn’t mean he would, too. “Man, I’m about to bounce, but I hear you. We’re solid.”
    â€œThat’s all I’m sayin’.”
    Johnny nodded on his end of the phone. “All right, playa. I’ll hit you later.”
    â€œBe careful, man.”
    â€œNo doubt.”
    â€œLater.”
    Johnny steered his truck around to the back of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. The parking lot was crowded, but he managed to find a spot, which was, unfortunately, right under a bright light. Anonymity was key, so he definitely didn’t like the position he was in. “Damn . . . oh well,” Johnny said.
    Normally, he was a man who loved being the center of attention, but only in certain situations, because despite his seemingly brazen behavior with Vivana, Johnny prided himself on discretion. That was the reason he’d never been caught cheating since he’d been married. He couldn’t count the number of women he’d hooked up with, and had secretly photographed and in some cases videoed their sexual exploits for his own private pleasure, all without his conquests knowing. That’s just how slick he was. Vivana wasn’t his first affair, and she certainly wasn’t going to be his last, but she was definitely the most exciting.
    Johnny reached for the box of condoms he’d placed on the seat, took out two, and put them in his pocket. He’d always had free reign over his truck and what he put in it because Geneva never set her foot in his vehicle. But after her tirade tonight, and the tone she’d used with him, he knew things were about to change. Geneva was becoming bolder by the day, and the excuses, lies, and deceptive tactics that used to work for him in the past were starting to wear thin on her.
    Johnny breathed in deeply and placed the box of Trojans in his glove compartment. I’m gonna have to find a new hiding place for these, he thought. He didn’t know what had gotten into Geneva tonight. Sure, he’d been out late, and yes, he knew his behavior over the last several months had been suspicious, but she’d always dealt with it, just as he felt any good wife should. Geneva was easygoing and calm about things, which was one of the qualities he genuinely loved about her. She was an old-fashioned, good woman who took pride in herself, valuing her commitment to him. There was a time she’d never have talked to him the way she had tonight, and he didn’t like it.
    â€œI guess my excuse for a father was right about one thing,” Johnny said aloud. “Shit changes.”
    He knew he needed to have a talk with Geneva first thing in the morning before her attitude got too far out of hand for him to control. But for now, Johnny didn’t want the weight of his best friend’s cautions, or his wife’s nagging, to sink the cloud he was floating on. He opened his driver’s door and began to walk toward the hotel’s back entrance, where Vivana stood waiting for him, like clockwork. He pushed his troubles to the side because he knew the next three hours were going to feel like Nirvana.
