“Can you believe what Kevall asked me?”
“Nah. What?”
“He asked me to stop f***ing other people.”
Passion was over the whole conversation with Kevall. She loved him, but she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go back to the way things were. She wasn’t satisfied then. During that time of being married and faithful, she felt she lost a little bit of herself.
Over the years since them decided to be polyamorous, she started to become more and more of the woman she felt she had always been. Which was something very beautiful in it self. She no longer felt unattractive or insecure because she had the chance to become that beautiful sexual butterfly she always believed herself to be.
By learning how many men and women viewed her, she unlocked the deadbolt to her sexuality; more like burst that door off of the hinges. Now because life proved to be so good over the years; she wasn’t sure she was ready to turn back.
“So… what you gonna do?”
“I don’t know, girl.”
“Well, you know the only reason he wants you to stop now, is because he don’t want to look stupid to everyone else. Also I think by having Jaylen there the other night, it made things real to him.”
“Yeah, I think you right, girl. But I still don’t know what to do. I’m sure if I tell him ‘No’ he’s gonna get all up in his feelings.”
“You know it…. I hate to be the bearer of bad new; but he may even leave you. Are you ready for that?”
Passion wasn’t finished being a connoisseur of the many different flavors that were sexuality. So she wasn’t quite sure what to say or how to feel. On one hand, she didn’t want to loose him. On the other, she felt it was unfair for him to ask her to change once again, because of his ego.
“Shonda, I really don’t know… I never gave that a thought.”
“Are you still happy being his wife? Or are you more interested in becoming a THOT?”
“Damn! Why you got to say it like that?”
“I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just saying, know what you’re giving up before you decide to walk away from a 20+ year marriage.”
“Well, he’s definitely not going to get his answer today. I’m gonna take some time to think about it. Matter a fact… Girl what you doing this weekend?”
“Taking Brent to his father’s….. You know, he hasn’t seen him since we got divorced?”
“Are you serious?!”
Shonda was a divorcée, mother, and business woman; who took pride in everything she ever did. Things between her and her now ex-husband Ross, had gone sour because he couldn’t except her success. Mainly because she was taking nothing but W’s and he couldn’t catch a break. Sure he had a job, but because of the way he was raised, he felt it was the mans job to be the earner, protector, and provider. So naturally when roles switched, so did their feelings for each other.
“Yeah, girl. Unfortunately I am.”
“How long has it been? Because isn’t Brent; What?… 15 now.”
“Yep. But get this.. He saying I’m keeping him away from his son…. How?!”
“Well, are you?”
“For real? You really gonna ask me that?.. “You know I would never do that! My mother did that to my Dad. That’s why our relationship is strained till this day.”
“Shonda, please don’t get offended. It’s just, sometimes Baby Mother’s do things like that, because their trying to hurt their Baby’s Father just as bad as he hurt them.”
“Passion, there’s a big difference between being a Baby Momma and a WIFE. After all, I do have morals. No matter how mad I get, I would never do anything like that. Because, It wouldn’t be only hurting him it’ll be hurting my child.”
“Damn… Sorry. Didn’t mean to take it there. All I was trying to ask is; Do you wanna take a trip with me?”
“B**** where?! You know I’m down.”
“I’m thinking… South Africa?”
“Let me know when you ready.”
“Okay good! I’m gonna talk this over with Kevall tonight. Then I’ll call you with the details.”
“What made you wanna take this trip?”
“I just need to clear my head and possibly get some good pipe , before I make this decision.”
“Ha.. ha… ha.. Girl, you a mess!”
