er making a phone call and another knock. Shirtless! What is going on? "Nick ?" When I see he is averting my sight, "I call him." I can tell something is wrong because he is slanting his side toward the door frame as if to prevent me from entering his flat. That's not Nick at all. When I visit, he is thrilled. He enjoys cuddling with me. This is the only location I want to spend the night because I intend to go out. beside him. at his side. to reassure me that everything would be well and to comfort me. "Babe, why are you in this place?" He looks up at me with a broad grin on his face and says, "I was just going to give you a call. I extend my hands and encircle my breasts with them.

He approaches me and says, "Val, it's not what you think," as he makes an effort to justify himself. "Nick ." My mouth is not producing any words. I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure how to respond to this. Nick is cheating on me again, which I find unbelievable. after discovering him with my closest pal the previous two nights. He doesn't even bother to stop by and see how I'm doing. He has been having sex with a different lady at home. Was this as a result of my telling him I wasn't ready for sex? Is he having trouble reining in his urges? Why didn't he discuss it with me? He pulls me into an embrace just as a tear is about to start falling from my eyes. "Vera, I adore you. Trust me." There was just a miscommunication here. I've reached the point where I can no
