Today was the day I was gonna tell Rachel about the split and that was ALL I was gonna tell her.

Quite frankly I wasn't planning on telling her the more explicit details anytime soon, I would have never hired her if I knew but there was no need to make her feel worse.

When I pulled up to the office I saw Taylor and Rachel's car, i hoped that Taylor's big mouth ass didn't say anything but like I said before, I couldn't put anything past her anymore.

When I walked in the vibes seemed okay so that was great, I didn't see Taylor but Rachel was sitting at her desk "Hey Rachel, can we talk?" She looked up at me and nodded, Taylor came out the back room and looked scared...scary ass bitch.

"I don't know if Taylor already discussed this  with you but we have both decided to go our separate ways" she looked surprised "is everything okay?" She asked "No but that's neither here nor there, in a bout 2 weeks we will sign the contract so we won't be working until then so your free to go home but if you still want a job then Taylor will be happy to give you one" She nodded and I smiled glad that she didn't ask any questions cause I really didn't want to get into it, just as I started to walk away she said "After you guys part ways are you gonna stop fucking my husband?"

I hoped that I misheard but when I turned around her face wasn't like the sweet woman I hired, she was pissed.

"So you know?" I sighed looking at Taylor who still looked scared "Figures"
"She deserved to know" I rolled my eyes "If you were gonna be bold enough fuck him the least you could have did was be bold enough and told me bitch" I stuck my finger out and laughed "Hold up now, you can be mad and you have the right to be but watch how you speak to me"
"Girl fuck you, ruining marriages seem to be your forte. All the single men in the world and hoes like you can't let the married ones be married " I turned towards Taylor who was looking nervous, i clinched my jaw trying to make sure I kept my composure "I didn't come looking for him, he came looking for me so clearly the marriage wasn't as solid as you thought"
"We were happy" I shrugged my shoulders "That's not what Eric said" I could definitely tell I struck a nerve but I'm not the victim so I took a deep breath.

"Rachel I am sorry, you didn't deserve this and it was never my intention to cross a line with you" she scoffed "How bout your sorry for fucking up my marriage?!"
"Did I sleep with your husband? Yes, Did I catch feelings for him? Yes as did he but if you think I'm the sole reason why your about to get a divorced then you should definitely speak to Eric, He. Was. Not. Happy " she chuckled "I don't believe that" I sighed put my hand on my hip
"Despite what you two may think" I said looking at Rachel and Taylor "I don't get horny for married men, when men aren't happy they go look for it somewhere else " she didn't say anything, they both just stared at me.

"Look your anger isn't misguided and I know I'm no victim but you should really speak to a Eric"
"Bitch literally fuck you with your self centered and narcissistic ass, where do you get off telling me I should speak to my husband...you don't know shit" I chuckled and figured that we should end the conversation "I see where this is going and before I have to put my hands on you ... You guys can pack your stuff and get out of my office now"

I grabbed my purse and walked out calling Eric

"You've been dodging me"
Was how he answered
"We need to talk"
"Glad you know"
Clearly he wanted to cuss me out for dodging him
"Can you meet me at our spot...please?"
I heard him sighed and I guess think about it
"Alright"

I hung up and headed towards our point in the cliff that we loved, I got there in about 30 mins and waited for him for about 10mins until his loud ass pulled up busting oldies.

I got out of my car and got in his "Wouldn't be you if you didn't pull up with your music on fucking a thousand" he smirked "I'm sorry I've been dodging you but it was a little much finding out your wife was my assistant"
"Soon to be ex-wife" he corrected "Have you spoke to your soon to be ex-wife?" He shook her head "Well...she knows" he squinted his eyes looking at me "knows what?"
"Everything"

We sat in silence as he processed what I said "That is not how I wanted her to find out....all my shit is probably outside now" I accidentally let out a chuckle and he looked at me with a straight face "I'm sorry" he shook his head "She's really like that?"
"Don't act like you wouldn't do the same" I shook my head "No, not my thing....I'd burn them" he looked at me like I was crazy, very much was.

"Give me a kiss" I said and he kissed me but I held on to him for just a little bit longer feeling my eyes get watery because I knew that I had to tell him.

"What's wrong ma?" I grabbed his hands "What just happened?Why you crying?"
I just shook my head trying to figure out how I was gonna to say this "There's something I have tell you, something I haven't been completely truthful to you about and I don't know how your gonna react" i wasn't looking at him but I knew he was looking at me and waiting for me to continue, I was nervous and I knew I probably shouldn't be considering he's still married and he shouldn't be so mad but needless to say these men were crazy "I don't even know how to put this.... You know how your married and we have this relationship going on" he nodded "Your not the only...married man I have a relationship with" he furrowed his eyebrows and took his hands out of my grasp.

"What the fuck are you talking about Nicole?" Here it goes "I am to him what I am to you...I've been seeing him since before we started"
"You still seeing him?" I nodded slowly "You mean to tell me you've been fucking an entirely different nigga this whole time" I seen him clinch his jaw and I was almost scared to answer "Well tech—-"
"Ain't no technically, yes or no" I nodded my head and he smacked his lips putting his head back  "theres someone else" he quickly turned his head to look at me
"There's another nigga?!" I cleared my throat "Yes but he's not married, I met him 5 months ago"
"And you've been seeing both of them plus me?" I nodded "and before you say anything I know it's kinda fucked okay but I hated being hidden, I was tired of it and Chris gave me something that you and James just didn't"
"Chris and James huh?" I'd realize I accidentally let their names slip and I mentally cussed myself out "They know about me?"
"They just found out"

We sat in silence as I let him process everything, I could practically feel the heat radiating off of him and the way he was breathing I just knew he was pissed but I wasn't afraid or scared like I probably would have been if this was James, I knew Eric wouldn't snatch me up.

"You got me fucked up you know that" Here we go "I told you that shit wasn't going down, I wasn't sharing yo ass but 2 niggas? And you telling me for what?"
"I just...I figured it was time to lay it all out, I hate lying to you"
He smacked his lips "man don't give me that shit, I've always been honest about what this was and what I was doing...I wasn't fucking Rachel for a minute but you... you was playing me the whole time" I shook my head and grabbed his hand "No Eric, I love you and I've loved you for awhile it just got messy with everyone else"
"You love Chris?" I shook my head no "You love James?"
"You really want to know the answer to that?" I saw him rub his tongue across his teeth
"I know the answer now"  we sat in silence again, I didn't know what to say anymore . I laid everything out on the table and despite the fact that I might lose him, it felt good to just let everything go.

"So what now?" He asked "Its up to you"
"Did you drop them other niggas?" I sighed "No"
"I don't share" I was just about tired of that line, y'all don't share but I had to share...okay "It's complicated right now"
"Well uncomplicate it, I'm getting a divorce and I wanted to be with you...you know that shit"
"Wanted?"
"You can get out" I was taken back by that "Your kicking me out the car?"
"I gotta go pick up my shit that's probably spread across the lawn by now and....I need to think" I was hesitant to get out the car, I didn't want him to leave "Where are you gonna go?"
"To the hotel" the was a long silence and honestly I didn't want to get out the car "You want me to come with you?" I seen him ponder it and it's probably wrong for me not to give him his space but fuck his space, so he can get comfortable without me...no.
