"Baby," Cain says and I look at him. "We have to talk."
"About what?" I ask softly.
"I have something to tell you," he says and I gesture with my hand for him to continue. "So, you know I love you so much and I can't live without you, but I'm also in love with a girl named Tara."
"What," I ask tearing up. "So basically you played me!" I say and grab my jacket.
"Amina wait!" He shouts trying to stop me.
"What Cain?! What could you possibly want from me now?!" I say screaming and crying.
"Look I'm sorry okay! I want both of you! I love both of you!"
"It's either one or the other," I say tears streaming down my face.
"Why do I have to choose? Why can't you meet her? You might like her too," he says unsure of what I might say.
"A polygamy?" I ask shocked.
"Yes."
"Fine."
"Okay, should I call her?" He asks uncertain.
"Does she know about me?" I ask.
"Yes and she's open to a polygamy. She thinks your gorgeous and I agree."
"Call her," I say. He grabs his phone and dials a number.
"Hello?" A soft female voice says.
"Come over," he says and I take a deep breath.
