"And I'll be workin' From sun up to midnight."

Michael stood before the home he shared with Neicy is in complete panic. He had been outside the house for about ten minutes now, just preparing himself for what could happen.

He looked up towards the evening sky and said a little prayer to God. Asking him not to let his Neicy call off the wedding and leave him.

If Neicy left, Michael's entire world would be crushed. Niecy was Michael's person. She was his best friend, his lover, his cheerleader. Neicy was all of that for Michael and then summed.

If she left him, he would be lost.

He wouldn't be able to function at all.

"Just go in, say it, and deal with consequences," Michael said to himself around three times before he finally placed the golden key inside the keyhole and twisted it to the right, unlocking it.

As soon as the door crept open, Michael heard the sound of the living room television playing. He walked inside the house to see Neicy chilling on the couch with the little pup, Mike Jr. As always, she
was in one of Michael's oversized shirts.

Michael loved when she wore his shirts; she looked so damn sexy in them and wasn't even trying hard.

"Michael!" Neicy chirped. "Hey babe, how was work?" Michael closed the front door behind him and locked it before entering the living room. He walked over towards Neicy and leaned down to kiss the top of her forehead.

"It was fine...I missed you." He said before plopping down on the couch beside Neicy.

"Awe, Michael, I missed you too. I always miss you."

She leaned her head against his shoulder and happily sighed. She had the world's most "perfect" man and felt so happy with her life. She couldn't ask for anything more. A lovely home, a sweet
pup, and a loving and faithful fianc—

"Neicy, I cheated on you."

Wait...what?

Neicy removed her hand from his shoulder and looked over at him with a confused facial expression. She figured that Michael was just funny, so she laughed.

She laughed until it started to hurt.

"Babe! That's nothing to play about!" She said, trying to control her giggles.

The slight smile she had on her face instantly dropped once she noticed the guilt and sadness that consumed Michael's entire face.

Her jaw dropped before she gasped.

"You're...you're serious, aren't you?" Niecy's voice cracked with sadness; tears instantly began to fall from her eyes. Michael could feel his heartbreak at sight. This was all of his faults.

"Baby...baby, just let me explain."

He said as he tried to grab her hand, but she immediately snatched it away. Michael was about to see another of Niecy.
