and they kissed; slobbered each other down, girl, in broad daylight. I was shocked as hell. I wanted to roll up on him and ask him what the fuck was his problem. But I was caught in traffic as I was driving past. They were in the parking lot of a shopping center complex. And by the time I was able to turn up in that lot and get an even better look, I didn’t see them anymore.”
    â€œOkay,” Kiara said in a quiet tone but inside she was fuming. “That’s all I wanted to know. If he did that back then in broad daylight, imagine what he could be doing when he’s somewhere in a hotel room or wherever.”
    Adina paused. “But Kiara, I’m concerned too about why Rashad would do that when he has you. I mean, you’re cute as hell but that never stopped a man from straying. So what’s going on in the bedroom?”
    â€œThe sex is cool, but it was better, more passionate, and more frequent when we were dating . . . and the years before we had the baby. Now it takes a lot of effort to maintain the passion between the sheets. I accuse him of taking me for granted, but I might be guilty of the same thing. Our life has gotten way too comfortable.”
    â€œWhat you plan on doing?”
    â€œI got a thing or two up my sleeve. And to be honest, you may hate Rashad, but I love him. I want to be married. I just need my husband to work with me, but if he doesn’t, I gotta keep it moving.”
    Adina’s feisty spirit grew quiet. She stood up and had a blank look on her face. “Girl, just be really careful about whatever you decide to do. You know I’ve been divorced for five years. And back then I couldn’t wait to get away from Marlon. But truthfully, I miss him. It’s hard out here. The dating scene is nothing like it used to be. We’ll be forty in a few years. And it is scary as fuck to be divorced with a child, competing with all these other chicks, and you gotta deal with a body that isn’t as fit as it was when you were in your twenties.”
    Kiara nodded and fear combined with anger rose within her. It seemed unfair that a married woman had to settle for garbage if she was unhappy in her relationship. But still, something had to give. She had to be happy for herself regardless of how her husband was acting.
    â€œI will try to make good decisions, but I won’t let Rashad hold me hostage in an unfulfilling relationship while there’s a good chance he’s running around with every Boo Boo Kitty in Houston. I’ll figure out something.”
    â€œThese men are something else, girl. And this is off topic, but one thing I’ve always thought you should do is stay on good terms with that man at your job. Eddison Osborne.”
    â€œThat’s way off topic,” Kiara replied. “Why him?”
    â€œI remember when you’d talk about him after I got divorced and he was recently widowed. And when you introduced us when I was up at the university, he seemed decent. Not so nice that a chick can run over him, but a man’s man. Like he had his shit together. So you thought us two could hook up, but your friend Eddison wasn’t interested.”
    â€œI wonder why not.”
    â€œHello, because his fine ass was into you! I still thought he was cool. And I got some good vibes from him as a man who’d do right by a woman. I could be wrong—”
    â€œNo, you aren’t wrong. Eddison is my boy,” Kiara said with a smile. “A lot of ladies get in his face on that campus—because I’ve seen them do it and he is so cool about it all. But I consider him a friend—a great buddy.”
    â€œSome of the best relationships happen when men and women are tight like that, as friends, no ulterior motive.” She sighed and shrugged. “I know you’re still with knucklehead but you never forget a good guy. Hopefully the man is still feeling you.”
    â€œI wouldn’t know,
