Tamia ran up the stairs in to the bedroom, her heart beating fast, she needed to tell him, she had to get this off of her chest but she was apprehensive too as this would change everything and she knew that.

"What did you do?." He said, trying all he could to stay calm, taking deeper breaths.

"I met him that night, Kingston... We ended up going back to his hotel... room." She paused. "I was caught up in the moment... it was wrong and I feel terrible...

Raphael was crushed. "Wait!.. so you're telling me that you slept with him?.."

Tamia started crying. "I'm so sorry... please forgive me..."

He just stared at her. He shook his head. "How could you do that to me?... I have you given you everything.. how the hell can you lay with another man on me!." He said choked up.

"Baby I love you... I'm so sorry... I let all my inhibitions go out of the window... and I got caught up... seeing him again after all these years...

"I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!.." he yelled.

"Please don't wake the kids.. please..

Raphael didn't know what to say, he stared at her for a while before he walked out and headed out of the house.
She heard his car pull away fast and she sat on the edge of the bed and cried.
