| EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER ONE: One, two,
three, four, five, six, seven. No, that can’t be right let me count again. One,
two,three, four, five, six, seven! Yep seven left! Damn him! What’s this? VIP passes
to the Spice Club! Oh, so now he's watching naked women dance in cages huh? Before this I
found filthy magazines! That’s right, I’m counting my man’s condoms, and
checking his drawers. I’m Kyla Sullivan and I’ve been snooping behind my
boyfriend George for two months now since he cheated on me. He had the nerve to tell me
she just came over with a bottle of chardonnay, asked him if he would like a
drink—then one thing led to another. He claims that was it and she went home. Yeah
whatever. He didn’t have to let her in, didn’t have to have no drink with her,
and he damn sure didn’t have to sleep with her either. He keeps telling me she
was just a piece of ass, but I’m the one he wants to be with. George must think
I’m a real fool. Well, I’m about to drop this sneaky, conniving, poor use of
genetic material excuse for a man. I swear his mother should have been on the pill. He thinks just because
he’s got money he can keep me. Humph! He ain’t banking tough enough as a
stockbroker. George never could get my portfolio right. He may have gotten me back once,
but that doesn’t mean he can keep me. Especially if he won’t treat me right. |
