"Damn girl. You know I been looking at yo fine ass all day right?" Charles says to Markeesha in a flirtatious tone.

She knows Charles stares at her every chance he gets. That's why she always wears her bodycon dresses, showing off her thick figure.

"I know you do," Markeesha, replies with a giggle.

"So you trying to get me all excited?"

"You know it. Look but don't touch. You had your chance," she says as she gets up from the table.

She makes sure she walks away as sexy as she can, knowing he's watching her all the way.

Charles knows she's right. He had his chance with Markeesha. He chose Alisha. Everyday he wonders if he made the right choice, but now all he can do is flirt with Markeesha. She told him she would never get with him since he chose Alisha, but he believes he could break her if he tries.

"Alisha is fine as hell too though," he thinks to himself, as he begins to get lost in his thoughts. He decides to check his Instagram and Twitter while he waits for Markeesha to make it back from the bathroom.

"I don't know what the f*** she talking bout, plenty of b***hes be liking my pics," he thinks as he recounts the comment Alisha made to him.

When Markeesha returns, she approaches him from behind. She leans over him and drapes her arms over his shoulders. She slowly strokes his chest in a downward motion.

"What are you doing?" Charles mutters in almost a whisper, as he closes his eyes.

"Showing you what you've been missing."

Just as she reaches his midsection, she stops. Charles gives her a "what the f***" look."

"Don't look at me like that n***a," she says in a playful tone.

"You got me all excited and shit!"

"Drink some cold water."

She rolls her eyes and laughs. Now seated at the table they are ready to order their drinks and enjoy Happy Hour.

"So what the f*** are you going to do about Alisha?"

"Shit. I might just leave her ass for you," he says half joking.

"Bullshit!" Markeesha responds bursting out laughing.

Charles looks at her with a serious face. He's stuck. 5 years is nothing to sneeze at. Things haven't always been this way. They've had some great times in the past. He doesn't know if he's ready to give up on the relationship yet.

"Maybe she's right," Charles says avoiding eye contact with Markeesha. "It's true I was the one that disrupted the relationship first. We didn't have this issue before I cheated."

Markeesha starts to look annoyed, borderline mad.

"So now you're gonna defend her triflin ass!"

"What the f***? That's still my girl. You need to watch yourself," Charles replies very stern and serious.

Markeesha feels like she could cry.

"Then you need to stop crying and bit**in about her every damn day!" Markeesha claps back at him, now getting pissed.

"So whatcha saying? Now you don't wanna be there for me? I thought you would, "always be an ear when I needed one"," he says throwing her words back at her.

"You're an asshole, you know that?"

She knows he's trying to gaslight her. He was the one that has called Alisha triflin before.
