I couldn’t imagine any reason why Tina would be here again. After leaving the house upset this morning, I didn’t know why Tina would want to come back. I never thought Tina would trust me again, much less be at my doorstep, upset. I thought the last person she’d want to talk to was me.

“What’s wrong Tina? Why are you crying,” I asked, cupping her face with my hands. She shook her head out of my hands and walked passed me.

“How dare you do this to me! The nerve,” she exclaimed as I closed the door and followed her to the living room.

“I’m sorry,” I say, not sure what I am apologizing for.

“You led me on; you made me feel like I was the only girl in your world and then you dump me?”

“Can you blame me,” I exclaimed, now it was my turn to be angry, “you’re married to a man, and you have a child! What was I supposed to do? I can’t do that anymore, I can’t be this dirty little secret of yours. You can’t be mad at me. If anything, I should be mad at you for leading me on, but I’m not. I knew what this was when it happened.”

“What was this then?”

“A fling…an affair.”

“It wasn’t an affair, we never had sex.”

“That doesn’t matter, I still helped you cheat.”

“Even so, it still wasn’t a fling or an affair; it was more than that for me.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I really do think I am falling for you Porter.”

“Really,” I said, approaching her slowly.

“Yeah, I don’t know what it is about you. I try to stop thinking about you but I can’t, even when I’m with Eric.”

“I never stop thinking about you,” I say, stopping inches in front of her.

“Why can’t this be easy,” she asked, as I brushed her hair off her forehead, “why couldn’t I have met you first?”

“Life has a way of messing with us,” I say and pull her into a kiss. It was soft at first, and then slowly became more passionate. I led her to my bedroom and laid her down and I lay on top of her and continued to kiss her. We parted and I started kissing her neck, and found a sensitive spot at the nape of her neck, which made her breathing become heavy. I took mental note of where that spot was.
