I chugged my mojito and Angel insisted that we go to the next bar.

The next bar was a different style, it was more of a sports bar setup. We had beers out of coconuts at this one. We went to two more bars, trying the signature drinks at each one and before we reached the last one, we were both feeling pretty good. The last bar was a lounge setup. We grabbed a place at the bar and ordered a pitcher of bud light, I hated beer but was already drunk.

"Deysire Washington, you are a pretty ass woman" Angel said slurry.

"You're pretty, handsome for a guy that never knocks"

We laughed together. Angel grabbed me and said "come here, girl. Give me a hug."

We hugged and I could feel that he needed that hug. I could hear him sniffing.

"Are you good?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said while wiping his eyes

"How about a shot?" He asked

"Of course" I said.

We took our shot and continued drinking the pitcher.

"So tell me about you." Angel started

"Well, I'm in a marriage that is pretty much over. He cheated with someone close to me."

"You love him?"

"I feel like maybe I have fallen out of love"

"I can understand. Deysire, you ever feel like you made the wrong choice in who you married?"

"I don't know. Do you ever feel like that, Angel?"

"Sometimes. I love Stephanie but I'd much rather be with my family."

I couldn't believe it! Did he just admit to what I had saw a few days earlier? I was drunk but not drunk enough to not hear that.

"Your family?" I asked

He looked at me and said "I'm a dad and  Stephanie doesn't know. She doesn't know much of anything, to be honest."

I knew but did not want to hear this.

He looked at me and asked "You ever cheated?"
