"Betrayal. There is no other feeling that I can imagine at this moment. I can't believe he did this. How does he expect me to stay when he has betrayed me? He told me that I was the love of his life then he goes and has sex with his wife. What the hell. I don't even know what to think right now. After everything that we have been through he does this. But, I can't even be upset, because I made the decision to sleep with a married man. I guess karma enjoyed biting me in the ass."

"Abby" Olivia whispered hoping she was done her rant so that she could tell her what she thought.

"What Liv"

"Maybe he does love you. Have you spoken to him?"

"WHAT! Why the hell would I talk to him? Have you listened to anything I've said Liv? He slept with his wife! The crazy bitch that he complains about nonstop! He slept with her! Why would I EVER want to be bothered with him again?" Abby yelled at her best friend. She could believe she expected her to speak to him

"Sorry I asked. I was just thinking, aren't you sleeping with David too?" Olivia asked Abby. Sometime her friend could be such a hypocrite

"But that's different! For all intent and purposes I'm single! I can do whatever the hell I want! You know like Beyoncé says? "I'm a grown woman, I can do whatever I want" Well I'm a grown ass woman and I'm single on top of that, so I can indulge in as many men as I would like" Abby stated matter of factly.

"Well Abby, if you're so single, why the hell are you worried about Ethan sleeping with his very married wife?" Olivia combated

"It's the principle Liv! You can't cheat on your mistress with your wife. It defeats the purpose of having a mistress!" Abby stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What? Abby that's the dumbest thing I've ever hear" Olivia laughed

"I'm happy you find this so funny" Abby replied dryly.

Olivia was about to reply when she heard her front door open and close.

"Abbs, I've got to go." Olivia stated hurriedly.

"OLIVIA!" Edison yelled throughout the house. He had just gotten in from work and was looking to spend some time with girlfriend

Olivia and Edison had been dating since undergrad. They were now in graduate school at Columbia University. Olivia was working on her masters in public affairs/administration while Edison worked toward a masters in business administration. They were in their first year of grad school and to say things were a challenge was an understatement. She was severely stressed as she worked through her first year so that she could apply to the universities JD/MPA Dual Program. This program would allow her to get her Juris Doctorate and a Masters in Public Administration at the same time. While she didn't want to be a lawyer, she always had a fascination with the world of law so she was eager to enter into the program.

Edison on the other hand was what one would call a legacy student. He was going to his "family" alma mater where he would earn a MBA just as the rest of the men and his family, and one day he would take over the family business. His life was set for him, and because of that he often acted like a privileged brat.

"Edison stops screaming I'm right here" Olivia said as she walked down the hall of their condo

"Well, how else am I supposed to find you if I don't yell?" Edison stated throwing his book bag on the floor and walking into the kitchen.

"You could try walking into the room to see if I'm there first"

"Whatever. Anyway, did you cook?"Edison asked.

"No Edison I had a paper due today and I had to help Abby, she is going through a rough time right now" Olivia stated

"Help Abby? How about help your boyfriend I'm starving" Edison replied exasperatedly

"Edison..." Olivia stated. This was always the beginning of all of their arguments

"Olivia..."

"I am not cooking tonight so you will have to find something to eat. In fact I am going to meet Harrison at the library" Olivia stated as she began to walk into the living room to get her things. She honestly didn't have any intentions of going to the library, but she didn't want to be in the house with Edison when he was this way.

"Liv..." Edison whined

"I don't understand why you can't cook for me, plus, why are you going to the library? You are a political science major why are you studying? I'm the one that needs to be studying and if my girlfriend would cook for me that would make my life ten times easier." Edison whined.

They had the same argument every day, and every day it ended with Olivia giving in and making him dinner but tonight she just didn't feel like it.

"Edison I really don't feel well and I have a big test to study for and I would like to go to the library and get some work done. That way I will be out of your way." Olivia sighed tiredly. This daily fight was exhausting.

"Whatever Liv"

When she came back in the house it was around 12:30am. She was dead tired and her first class was at 11am.

She walked into the bedroom to see Edison sprawled out with his shirt off and a book lying next to him. She walked into the bathroom and did her nightly ritual. She took her shower, and then brushed her hair. Once she finished her hair, which was a task in and of itself, she began to put on her papaya and lavender scented lotion. She began to make her way to her side of the bed. As she was walking she felt something poke the bottom of her foot.

"Ouch Shit" She whispered.

"Liv" Edison said sleepily

"Don't worry about it. It's fine. I think I may have stepped on an earring or something." Olivia stated. She was too tired to entertain Edison at the moment and she didn't want talk.

She made it to her side and slide into bed. As expected Edison instantly rolled over until he was lying basically on top of her and began kissing her neck.

"Edison stop" Olivia whispered

Undeterred he continued to kiss down he neck while feeling for the hem of her shorts

"Edison..." Olivia whispered again

"What… Liv" Edison said exasperated

"I don't feel like it" Olivia stated. Knowing this was going to start another round of arguing.

Edison got off of her and looked at her.

"Why am I not surprised? You never feel like it. The only time you feel like it is when you want to. That's so selfish Liv. What if I only did things when I felt like it? What if I only took you on a date when I felt like? How are we supposed to have a health relationship when you never want to have sex? You know, most guys would have cheated on you by now? But I'm lying here next to you and all I ask is that you have an intimate connection with me. Is it too much to ask my girlfriend to satisfy her boyfriends needs? I mean you never want to cook. I always have to yell at you in order to cook and we you never want to have sex. Hasn't anyone ever told you the way to a mans heart is through his stomach? I mean seriously. An now I want to show you how much you mean to me and you have denying me again" Edison stated.

Olivia stayed quiet. She didn't know what to say. All she could think about was Abby yelling about her
"boyfriend" cheating on her and what Edison had said about other guys. After about 15 minutes of lying there on her back, she turned over to face Edison. She kissed his back. Edison ignored her for the first few minutes, but after awhile he felt her reach her arm around his waist.

"What Liv? I'm trying to fall asleep"

"Edison.."

Edison turned around to face her.

Olivia reached for his hardening member and pulled it out of his shorts that he was wearing. Edison laid there watching her. She slowly pulled her hair back as she went to straddle his waist lined him up with her core.

As she moved to sit on his now hard member she couldn't help but let a tear fall from her eyes, she didn't want him to cheat on her so if this was the only way to make sure he stayed faithful, then she would be given to fulfill her duties as a girlfriend.
