Him:I'm not cheating on you Mary I swear, Me:You're even calling me by my name, since when Wilson? Him:I'm really tired to be arguing with you right now, Me:babe what's going on, why are you doing this to me? Him:Mary I'm not doing anything to you, I..Just...my head is all over. Me:You want Emily?

He leaves slamming the door behind him,I sit on the floor trying to wipe my uncontrollably falling tears,can't he see that he's hurting me?why does he suddenly want Emily? I sighs feeling drained, I stand up to clean the house, I thought of calling my parents but stopped because I don't really want to worry them,and at this point I don't have anyone to talk to, am just alone, I can't talk to Emily because she's not trusted at all. *Wilson's POV * I wish she didn't mention her name but she dared to,now I so damn want her close to me, I dipped my hand in my pocket, taking my phone out to call her, "Hie Wilson "she says her voice full of love Me:where are you? Her:I'm on my way home, why asking? Me:where are you coming from? Her:I'm went to buy airtime from the sh....vele why am I explaining myself, what do you want? Me:wait for me,I'm coming we need to talk. Her:there's not..... Me:Don't bore me Emily, I said wait for me am coming. "Okay "she says dropping the call, . . . . . . . . My heart skipped a bit when I laid my eyes on her,she's so beautiful I don't want to lie, and I'm so connected to her, Her:so what did you want to talk about? She says folding her arms on her chest, I just gaze at her, she blushes looking down. "I missed you "I said hugging her. Her:I missed you too willy, I leaned in my cold lips touching her soft lips, I put my hands on her waiste as she pulls me more closer to him. Me:I love you, please move in with me, Her body tenses, I know she didn't expect this, "You're married willy, what about your wife?" Me:I don't love her anymore, I want you Emmy. Her:I want you to and I'm tired of hiding my feelings for the sake of my friend. Me:So what do you say? Her:yes babe, I'll move in with you. Me:now? Her:No I'll come tomorrow, but I suggest you tell Mary first. Me:Okay, anything for you. *Eric's POV * "Mama you're here?"I ask with a biggest smile on my face Her:Eric I don't like the person your sister is changing to be. Me:what are you talking about mama? Her:She's playing with fire and it won't end well, tell her to apologise to them, Me:you know she's stubborn, she never listens to anyone.

Her:I'm moving out I frown Me:moving out? to where? Her:Mary asked me to move in with her, Me:for the why? Her:you know that she's pregnant, so she needs help. Me:She's only 3 weeks pregnant, Her:so? Me:meaning she's not yet showing, there's nothing to help there Emily, and what did Wilson say about all this? Her:ummm h....he agreed. Me:Emily what's really going on ngawe? Her:Nothing is going on, why? Me:You're behaving weird and it worries me, for your own good, I hope you're not planning to separate Wilson and Mary because it won't end well with you. Her: I'm not planning anything, I just want to be there for my friend. Me:Okay if you say so, when are you leaving? Her:Tomorrow morning, Me:Okay, ukhulile Emily, ngeke ngutshele okokwenza I headed to the bathroom to take a bath, still thinking about Emily's sudden decision to move out. As the warm water cascaded down my body, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. I hoped Emily wasn't getting herself into trouble. After my bath, I got dressed and headed to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. I scrambled some eggs, toasted some bread, and brewed a cup of coffee. As I ate, I checked my phone for any important messages or notifications. As I finished my meal, I realized I had to hurry up and get to work. I grabbed my bag, double-checked that I had everything I needed, and headed out the door. The drive to work was uneventful, but my mind kept wandering back to Emily and her situation. I hoped she would be okay and that her friendship with Mary wouldn't cause any problems. When I arrived at work, I was greeted by my colleagues, and we exchanged pleasantries. I settled at my desk, ready to tackle the day's tasks. As I walked into the office, the hum of computers and chatter of colleagues greeted me. I made my way to my desk, trying to shake off the lingering unease from the dream and Emily's departure. Just as I was settling in, I noticed a woman standing by the water cooler, her eyes locked onto mine. We shared a brief, intense moment of eye contact, and I felt a spark of curiosity. Who was this woman? She smiled subtly and turned back to the water cooler, and I couldn't help but notice how striking she looked. I wondered if I would see her again and maybe even strike up a conversation.
