His Mistress, Her Nightmare (COMPLETED)

Two Can Play

For the rest of the party, we do little dances, in a circle. Nothing too crazy for work, even though were all pretty drunk. "Man, I'm hungry again." James says. It's been a few hours and the guys drunk way more than us, so food is needed. "I can definitely agree with that." Romar says. I'm not hungry but I'm not ready to go home. We all say our goodbyes and a group of us decide to go to Waffle House. Literally, most of their business is after hours. My phone chimes and it's Marcus. I go wherever you go. He texted. It made me smile but then all I could think about was his wife. Uhhh...what about your wife? I text back. She gotta work tomorrow, so I'm all yours.  I smile uncontrollably. I don't know how I'm going to sneak away again but I know I have to.

We all head to Waffle House, in about six different cars. I'm sure half of us will go home after this and the other half will do something else together. Tee, Amerie and I, sit at a booth. Our other coworkers fill out two more booths. "I guess I'm with the ladies." Marcus says. "We need to trade." James says, making everybody laughs. Marcus sits next to Teyana, directly across from me. Her eyes widen but then she relaxed. She doesn't know that Amerie knows but Amerie knows that Teyana knows. I act normal, like I'm not yearning for him and look at the menu. Maybe I'll get something anyway. I think back to the first time we were at Waffle House and we saw him. Who would have known this would us? I was so busy trying to be "faithful" to Devin and didn't mess around with Todd, the night before. Next day, I'm all up under Marcus. I can't even.

"Every time I drink, I gotta pee." Teyana says annoyed. "Sorry, Marcus. I gotta get out." "I gotta go, too actually." Amerie says, as Marcus let's Teyana our the booth. "It's hell people in here so I might as well wait at the door." I let her out and now it's just Marcus and I. "I could just devour you, right now." Marcus whispers to me, with lust in his eyes. I'm completely thrown off. Our coworkers are literally right behind him. "Marcus." I whisper back. This man is going to get us caught. "At least I'm not laying you across this table." He shrugs and sits back in his seat. He's making me want him more, being so risky.

Before I can respond, I see Teyana coming back. Her eyes wide again. This girl is a mess. By the time Amerie comes back, our food is here. The only thing Marcus is devouring right now, is his food. We had normal conversation, for about an hour, before everybody was finished. "I got this." Marcus says, as he picks up our booth's checks. We all say "thank you" and wait for him to go pay. "He spending money on you too?" Amerie whispers. "She knows?" Tee asks. "Do I? I caught them kissing." "What?!" Teyana says, louder than she expected. Our coworkers look over. "She's clearly drunk." I lie, so they can turn back around. "When was this?" She asks. "Thanksgiving." I say. "Wow. Y'all gotta relax. Y'all spending holidays together now?" "We didn't spend it together. He just stopped by, now drop the subject." I say a little annoyed. I know what I'm doing is wrong. I don't need anyone to tell me. She puts both of her hands up and ends the conversation.

Amerie's now back home and a bit sad. I'll see her in a few weeks, for Christmas but it was good having her around. However I'm happy I can get some alone time with Marcus. Wow. I haven't even thought about Devin. It could've been our first Christmas together but I'm full of shit. Like who am I kidding? Marcus will be with his wife! "Ugh!" I say out loud. I'm supposed to be meeting up with my girls, to go on a group date, in an hour and I barely have gotten ready.

My phone rings and it's a call, from Marcus. "Hey!" I answer. "What's up, Princess?" He says. His voice is mesmerizing. "Nothing much. Just getting ready to go out." "Aww dang. I was going to see if you could go out, with me. My wife got called in to work." "Go where? By ourselves?" He's kidding right? "Yea, maybe see a movie or something. It's cool though. I don't want to interrupt your plans." Damn I wish I didn't have plans. If it was just Devin, I could make up something but it's all of us going. "Yea, definitely next time. I'd like that." "Alright. Well I'll let you be. Have fun and I'm gonna miss you." He says. He's so charming, it's disgusting. "I'm gonna miss you too."

I finally get ready, as Devin comes to pick me up. "Damn girl. Ya look good!" Devin says, emphasizing good. He's so sweet. "Thank you. So do you." It's crazy that when I'm around Devin, I remember why I want to be with him. It's just that the risk of messing around with Marcus, gives me a thrill. I gotta get it together. As we drive to Top Golf, I keep up the conversation but I'm thinking about my dilemma. I just get the feeling that Devin's going to ask me out again and I just can't say no. He'll never ask a third time.

We pull up, just as Jaydah and Dayquan does. We meet the rest of the crew inside. My girls and I dressed cute but covered. It's too cold out, to be wearing anything revealing. In 15 minutes, we're at our little section and I wash my thoughts away. I've never been here, before so I'm excited. "I'm definitely getting wings." Zora says, looking at the menu. "You not even gone get the game started first huh?" Warren asks, making us all laugh. "The game can wait. Food comes first. Period." Zora says. "PERIOD!" Me and the girls chime in. The guys look at us like we've lost our damn minds.

The night goes on and I'm two drinks in. I'm starting to feel like Teyana and have to pee, whenever I drink. "Bathroom break." I say to everyone. "I'm coming with you." Zora says. As we head to the bathroom, I notice Jasmine. "I thought he said she had to work." I stop dead in my tracks. "What?" Zora asks. "That's Marcus' wife. He said she got called into work but this doesn't look like work." "And he definitely doesn't look like Marcus." Zora says, as we watch Jasmine and some man get all cozy. Damn, no wonder he cheats. Maybe they're in an open marriage. But if that's the case, why are they lying to each other? Something doesn't feel right about this...at all.
