Louise felt her cheeks get hot as she walks through the door of the condo she shares with her husband, Rondell.

"What the f*** is that smell Rondell!?" she yells out.

She becomes more disgusted seeing him sleeping on the couch. She knows his ass has been on that couch the whole time she's been gone.

"Get your lazy ass up! I'm sick of this shit! I have been paying all the bills, then coming home cooking AND cleaning. You probably ain't even looked for no job today."

Rondell having woke up from the screaming, glares at her.

"Man shut that shit up," he says with no emotion. What are you cooking for dinner?"

"Not a damn thing."

Rondell suddenly comes to life, standing up and getting in Louise's face.

"Yo ass act like I didn't work my ass off the first 7 years of this f***in relationship!"

He's livid at this point.

"Now I'm down for a year and yo ass act like you running shit! Get the f*** outta here with that bullshit!"

Louise feels herself on the verge of tears but knows she can't let him see her cry.

"Whatever Rondell. I'm too tired to deal with this right now," she says in a calmer tone deciding to concede and go to her room to cry.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Betta calm yo ass down coming at me with that bullshit."

Louise quickly heads to the bedroom before he could say anything else to her. She closes and locks the door, then plunges her face into the pillow to muffle her crying.

After what felt like hours, she finally composed herself enough to get on with the rest of her day.

"He probably didn't even touch the laptop today let alone put in any job applications," she thinks to herself.

Her curiosity getting the best of her, she checks that the door is locked and sits at the computer desk.

She opens the laptop to his locked screen and is thankful he's dumb enough to use the same password for everything he does.

"What the f*** is this!?" she says under her breath.

She's at a loss for words and her mind is racing. This is a new low for Rondell and she would have never guessed he would do something like this.

"I would have rather found porn videos than this...," she can't help but think.

How can she bring this to him without him knowing she snooped on his laptop? She knows she can't just let this go. She needs a plan to catch him in the act.

"Mya will know what to do!" she thinks to herself. She grabs her phone and takes pictures of the laptop screen.

"So you're saying I could sleep with someone else, but you would have to approve of her?" Ben asks, still confused.

He thinks about how great it would be to still sleep with Tina and have Mya too.

"Well, it's not about sleeping with someone else, it's about the relationship."

"Damn it," he thinks to himself. He knew it was too good to be true.

Mya is trying to explain the rules and boundaries of having an open relationship. They have been on the phone for an hour, with Mya trying to make sure she leaves nothing out.

"So what do you mean by relationship?"

"I feel like we went over this," she says, getting annoyed.

"Well, this is new to me, and I want to get all the facts."

"Ok. So it's not just about sex. It's about having a bond with more than one person. Being able to spend time with them as well as your main chick. Got it?"

"Ok ok. So would you be my main?" he asks, in his sexy voice.

"Hell yeah. I ain't no extra. I'm the main b**ch, without a doubt."

Ben laughs at this. He still hasn't told her about living with Shanika. Maybe she would understand it's only until the lease is up in a year.

"So why push for an open relationship anyway?"

"Honestly, it's because I've cheated in every relationship I've had."

Ben is taken aback and not sure how to respond.

"Soooo, are you sayin there's no such thing as cheating in an open relationship?"

"Kinda."

"Maybe this will work out," he thinks to himself; but not until he gets things straight with Tina and this OnlyFans page. It's time he handles that.

"So we still good for linking up this weekend?"

"Hell yeah," Mya says, trying not to sound too excited. She couldn't wait to touch that sexy chocolate body.

He lets her know he'll call her tomorrow. Now on to the moment he has been dreading. He sends Tina a message asking her to meet him at their usual spot, the nearby Hilton.

"This bout to be crazy," he thinks to himself while heading out the door.
