Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might,
Desert me
Manny sat in her upscale New York penthouse apartment with her dog in her lap. Her hand was resting on her dog's tummy, revealing a fourteen karat diamond ring. Her Chanel sunglasses sat atop of her head, and her eyes were closed tightly. It had been two years since she married Toby Isaacs, who inherited a small fortune since he graduated. Toby was now owner of a multimillion computer agency, and Manny was now adapted to the luxurious lifestyle. Thoughts were rushing through Manny's head as she lay on her couch, trying to sleep and make sense of what happened the night before. He had come to a party, which Manny and her close friend Liberty were at. They hadn't seen each other in years, and things took toll of each other –
"You selfish bitch!" Toby roared as he slammed to door behind him, Manny's eyes quickly fluttered open.
"I was going to tell you…" liquid tears fell down from her rosy cheeks, "It was nothing".
"Nothing! Craig Manning… you cheated on me with him?" he closed his eyes, "How could you?"
Manny walked up to her husband who was now trying to keep himself from crying, and slipped her arms around his waist. Toby pushed back quickly and turned her.
"I should've known", Toby hissed, "Ever since High school…"
"IT WAS NOTHING!" Manny screamed, she whispered in his ear, "Toby, I love you".
Toby shook his head, "How can I believe you? You go out for one night…"
Manny swallowed back more tears, "Old feelings Toby. They came up again, and I'm terribly sorry".
"I know", Toby walked out the door.

Genesis was known for throwing exquisite affairs, and Saturday night's was no exception. She held a low key cocktail party in her stunning mansion. She invited a hundred of her closet friends and four of them went to Degrassi High School. Liberty was a medical student who was engaged to her longtime boyfriend James. They were both close friends to Manuela, (Manny) and Manny had had some previous relations with Genesis's band mate Craig. Of course, Genesis didn't know all this information, or she would've thought twice when she was planning the guest list. She had no idea that Manny was married either. On Sunday afternoon, Genesis had a meeting with a computer promotional executive named Toby; Toby had struck up conversation with Genesis and said he went to Degrassi High School too. Genesis couldn't believe it and asked Toby if he knew Liberty, James, Manny, and Craig. Toby said he did, and Genesis told him that Manny and Craig had hit it off at her party and disappeared in the middle of it, going upstairs to her bedroom. Toby shook his head and walked out of the meeting, leaving Genesis perplexed. She sat in Craig's kitchen and was talking to him about the night before.
"So you and Manny…" Genesis laughed.
Craig smiled, "Manny and I are nothing more than friends. What happened last night happened, and it won't ever happen again".
"But why not?" Genesis asked grinning.
Craig shrugged, "You know that guy you had a meeting with this morning? That's her husband".
"He is?" Genesis asked, feeling her face get flushed.
Craig nodded, "Yeah… why?"
"Oh my God", Genesis whispered, "Oh my God…"

It had been fifteen hours since Toby had walked out the front door of his apartment and had left Manny poignant and disheveled. How did Toby find out? Manny wondered, fountains of tears dripping off her face and onto her leather couch. Remote control in hand, Manny flipped through channels, not even looking at the television screen, but looking through it – her mind staring through it. She didn't mean to cheat on Toby, she didn't even remember the night before. All she remembered was having one too many cocktails and escaping with Craig upstairs to Genesis's bedroom, plunging into Genesis's bed with Craig. Tears escaped Manny's eyes, leaving everything a blur.
"Manny", Liberty called, knocking on her apartment door.
Manny swallowed back more arousing tears, "Come in".
Liberty set foot in Manny's apartment and looked at her best friend, a box of tissues nestled in her arms and a remote control in her other hand.
"Oh Manny…" Liberty sat down next to her.
Tears flooded down Manny's cheek, more rigid than before. "He's not coming back", she whispered.
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might,
Desert me
