Teaser Tales (Short Stories)

He Was Never One To Cheat (13+)

He was never one to cheat

He loved Sally

But Sally was 4000 miles away

And he was drunk

And Simone was beautiful

And adventurous

And young

He had a moment of weakness

But it was also a moment of absolute strength

He was never one to love another

He loved Sally

But Sally would be angry

He understood why

But there was Simone

She waited by the door

With a grin on her face and a beat up dark blue Jeep in the driveway

He was never one to leave

But Sally was always working

And Simone had freedom on her side

He was never one to dump

But Sally came home that night

And saw the drunken scribbled note he had left her

And all his clothes out from the drawers

And he was right

She WAS angry

But more than angry

She was destroyed

He was never one to upset her

There was a point when he would have died for Sally

But she was growing colder

And he was driving farther away

He was never one to run away

But Simone had her long red hair out of its ponytail

And he had no shoes or shirt

Simone glanced over at him

Grinning ear to ear

Leaving one hand on the wheel

She leaned over and kissed him

He was never one to cheat

But he was falling in love all over again

Even if that meant hurting the first love

__________________________________________________

If you ever have to choose between the first and the second love

Choose that second one

Because if you really loved the first

You wouldn't have fallen for the second
