BACK TO LOVE.

' Sorry we're late hun.'

Sade apologized on behalf of herself, Emily and Neveah as they sat down in the restaurant.

' It's okay, I haven't been waiting long. Let me call the waitress.'

Ayanda said putting her hand in the air, unintentionaly flashing her new ring. Emily pulled her hand down just as the waitress noticed her.

' Wait is that new, when did this happen?!'

' On the day I got back from my sister's wedding.'

The waitress came over and they each ordered and went back to waiting.

' Wow, it's beautiful. How much was it?'

' Veah!'

Sade scolded

' What! Is that inappropriate?. She called me yesterday fucking her husband, my poor ears. I deserve to know the cost.'

' Neveah sorry for that I thought I hung up and I don't know how much it cost. I am not like you, I don't need to know how much everything my husband buys costs.'

Neveah stuck her tongue out at Ayanda. One would think she was being childish but that was how each of them were comfortable in their friendship. They could be themselves without fear or judgement.

' Does this mean you decided on working on your marriage instead of a divorce.'

Emily

' Emily you need to stop telling people I am divorcing my husband.'

' I didn't tell everybody I just told Mike.'

Neveah cut in before Emily could respond.

' Wait why are you talking to Michael, better yet does Andrew know?'

' He doesn't and you better not say anything to him or Shad.'

Ayanda listened to her friends argue until the waitress brought their meals.

' Yandi are you sure about forgiving him so easy.'

Sade questioned

' Easy? '

' Don't take this the wrong way but you had sex with him soon after you found out he cheated and you did it again.'

' I cannot believe this, so I shouldn't have sex with my husband now. The fact that I wasn't having sex with him in the first place was what made it easy for that bitch seduce him and for your information I had him get tested for everything. Sex is sex and I will have it with my husband wether you like it or not. You're one to talk, how many times has Omari slept with other women and gotten them pregnant but you stuck by him. So spare me.'

Neveah and Emily looked at their friends shocked. Sade and Ayanda were the longest of friends and they had never seen them argue, this was a first for them and a first hearing about Sade's marital problems as she never told anyone except for Ayanda.

' You know what I am goi-'

' No babe, sit. I shouldn't have said what I said and you're right, I am the last person to judge you but I am worried that you may be making the same mistakes I did. I am sorry, don't leave and it's a girls lunch let's not talk about our children and husbands.'

It was Sade who interjected when she tried to get up and leave. Ayanda was more mad at herself, she had seen what women who had been cheated on went through after they were quick to forgive. She had told herself she would never be like those women or her bestfriend, she would leave but now that the shoe was on the other foot it was not that simple.
