A Rose for Everafter

Chapter 4

Alice walks back into the house feeling like her world was crumbling, more like her marriage. She plopped down on the sofa and grabbed the remote to the tv. She browsed through the channels and just before she could find what to watch, her phone rang.
It was her best friend Shana. Her and Shana were long time friends ever since the first grade and they have been stuck together ever since.
Hey girl, what are you up to today. Shana asks me.
Nothing as usual, just sitting around the house. You know Johnathan is gone for 2 weeks. I say.
Damn two weeks. That has got to be ruff, specially for your sex life. Shana says while laughing.
Yea, our sex life really hasn't been as exciting since he got that new job. I say while standing up.
Well, I'm almost to your house so open the door. Shana says just before hanging up.

I walk over to the front door and open it to see Shana. I walk over to give her a hug and we walk back into the house.

Shana sits on the sofa and starts grinning and staring at me.

So,Johnathan is gone on a business trip....for two weeks....and you are not the least worried that he maybe... until I don't know.. CHEATING. Shana says to me.

No, I don't think he is cheating. I trust my husband. I say.

OK congratulations y'all have a trustful relationship, but if you wanted to visit did he even tell you what hotel he is staying at. Shana asks while folding her arms.

Shana come on he just left. Im pretty sure he doesn't even know where he is staying. I say.

Hmm. Shana says.

I walk into the kitchen to grab a glass of water taking into thought about what Shana says. I sip the water slowly and put the cup back down on the counter. I walk back to the living room and stood there striking at Shana.

Maybe we should spy on him. I say.

Shana looks up at me in surprise. She begins to laugh. She stood up and walked over to me.

You can't be serious girl. I was just kidding. Johnathan is a great guy. I'm pretty sure the Man doesn't even know how to cheat let alone how to use his dick. Shana says while trying to hold back her laughter.

I stand there staring Shana down.

First off don't talk about his dick. Second off he does a wonderful job with it. I sag while grinning.

I just want to be sure. No Man is perfect and he has been staying at the office late now. Every time I try to call he doesn't answer. He always wait a couple of minutes to call back. And when he does call back he hurries off the phone with me. I say thinking back about the nights.

Look girl, you know I love you and you know I will do anything for you but you can't go spying on him, I mean what of he isn't cheating and you confront him. Shana says.

Well Shana maybe you shouldn't have said anything about cheating. I want to do it. I demanded.

Shana sighs and looks up at me. She puts her hand on her forehead then her mouth. She flops down on the sofa and looks at me.

You sure about this. Shana asks me.

Yes I'm sure about this. I just want to know. I say.

Well let's do other then. But we have to be prepared for stuff like this. See I was watching this movie called The Other Woman and...

I stopped Shana in her tracks.

Bitch no, I'm not about to be friends with my husband's mistress. I'm going to beat her ass and then his ass. I say.

I walk upstairs and begin to pack my things for this trip that may potentially end my marriage.
