Though we may have our disputes.
"Pookie, that is so unfair! You know I wasn't cheating, just flirting. I don't see flirting as a big deal!!" Maureen cried at Joanne as she walked out the door of their loft.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and Maureen, and Joanne were fighting as usual, but this time Joanne seemed particularly angry.
"Life is unfair Maureen! I thought our love was real. And besides, this is not about flirting!" Joanne said strongly using her "lawyer voice", as Maureen called it when Joanne spoke seriously, but angrily.
"Then what is it about?" Maureen asked nervously, she had an idea about what it was about, but she knew if Joanne had known she would freak out. For the last month Maureen had been sleeping with Mark.
"You know damn well what it's about. You have been screwing Mark! Cheating! On me! And you say you love me." Joanne hissed as she walked out of the apartment. Maureen began to cry.
Is it my fault that I still love Mark? Why did she have to be so hateful? Why? She knows that if she would allow me , I would live the best of both worlds, but of course she wouldn't allow me.
Maureen wiped her tears, and picked up the phone, and slowly dialed the number she has learned so long ago. A sleepy voice answered the phone.
"Hello?" It said.
"Mark?" Maureen asked, still sobbing.
"Yes. Is this Maureen?" Mark asked parcially waking up.
"Yeah"
"Maureen it's 3 o'clock in the fucking morning."
" I know I'm sorry, but we need to talk. It's Joanne, she knows, and she left for good. Well actually, she left for the night, she said, I had until tommorow afternoon, to leave.
"Shit. Well you know you're welcome here right?"
"Yeah I know. That was what I planned to do, but Mark..."
"Yeah?"
" I think we should make it official, don't you?"
"Deffinetly."
"Well then it's settled, I'll be over tommorow with my stuff."
"Wait Maureen. First you have to promise me, that you won't cheat, and if your ever unhappy, talk about it with me, don't hold it in."
"Is that it?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"Okay, I promise."
"Okay, well it's late, I'm going to go back to sleep, you should try to get some sleep too."
"good night Mark I love you."
"Love you too maureen, I love you too."
