Ed was in a myriad of thoughts. Inside his heart was a Hurricane and it spelled disaster. He wanted a woman who was in love with another man.

I can’t live without Princess. I love her. But how do I tell my wife that I don’t want her anymore.

How do I tell her that I love her like a sister?

He was driving his Mustang along Campbell Drive. He has passed the Big Lots store. He could barely keep his eyes open.

If he lost Princess he didn’t want to live.

She was his soul mate.

But does she know it?

Does Princess know she is my missing rib?

He knew it in his heart and in his soul and he would fight anybody for her love and her time and her devotion.

The thought of another man getting the pussy killed him inside.

I know it’s late. It’s after 1 a.m. But I couldn’t come home after work. How could I? I have been camped out at the Motel 6.

I watched Princess throw herself into Thomas’s arms. She’s pregnant with his child. How could she ignore my love for her and go with another man?

Hell, how could I cheat on my wife?

Why did I drink myself into a stupor? Why didn’t I call my wife and tell her I was going to get home late.

Why didn’t I give a fuck?

Niggah, the least you can do is call Georgia. She’s a loyal woman. She has never hurt you.

So what? And?

Ed phoned Georgia. He braked at a stop light. No other cars were on the road.

How do I tell you I don’t love you?

⭐⭐⭐

The cell phone vibrated on Georgia’s
nightstand.

She was fast asleep, Toni Braxton’s “Seven Whole Days” playing.

Georgia was holding Ed’s picture in her arms.

The Bible opened and on the floor.

The phone vibrated off the nightstand and onto the floor.

A few seconds later it stopped vibrating.

⭐⭐⭐

Ed parked his car next to Georgia’s Toyota Camry. She’s home.

He looked at his room window. The lights were out.

She’s sleeping.

Unlocking the door, he slowly walked inside, the cool air hitting him in the face.

Closing and locking the door, he activated the alarm. Making his way upstairs, he paused.

Princess. I need you. Make love to me. Have my children. Replace Georgia in this house.

I don’t want Georgia living here anymore.

Why am I such an asshole?

⭐⭐⭐

Ed entered his room. Music was playing at a moderately considerate tone. The glow of the moon illuminated Georgia’s gorgeous face.

I love you like a sister now. I think I always loved you that way.

He took off his leather coat and his jeans.

I don’t even want to lay next to you.

He crawled in the bed next to her. He noticed it. She held his picture in his arms.

She’s so in love with me. How do I get her to understand?

He put his arm around her and went to sleep.

When his arm went around Georgia she inhaled, and her eyes opened.

Please. Stop touching me. Get your arm from around me.

I hate you.

I know you wish I was Princess.
