is no but here! You left me you packed up your things and you walked out on me and our one year old son. And that was after I took you back for cheating on me. I loved you before we married and even after you left I still loved you wanting you to come back but I was young and naive but not anymore. You are pathetic and I am glad to be rid of you. Your son needs his father and that is the only reason he is here because if it was up to me you would come nowhere near my son. And before you start I say my son because I have raised him while you missed out on everything. You haven’t earned the right to call him yours. For right now claim what you really are a sperm donor.”
Charles glared at her as she walked away from him. In his mind he grabbed her to him and allowed her to feel the warmth of his body. He would demand a kiss from her taking her lips as his own and showing her he was just a man who missed his wife. But he sighed he didn’t feel like sleeping with his eyes opened if it didn’t go as he wanted so he just looked after her and wondered if he would ever get another chance again.
As she entered the house and walked into her room, she tried to dismiss the anger that grew inside her. How dare he throw around those words as if they could place a spell on her? They had no effect on her now and all she wanted was to leave this place and not return. She went to the window and looked up to the moon, smiling at the sight of the fullness of it. She closed her eyes and prayed a silent prayer.
“Lord please help me. I feel so alone and lost I don't want to fall back into the rut I have been in please let me find the one I have been looking for. Amen.”
She smiled and looked up to the moon. Not knowing that across town the love of her life was staring at the exact same moon.

Ramón looked out the window and up to the full moon as the girl his sister hooked him up with continued to gush over him. He wanted to focus on anything but the gorgeous blue eyes on the dullest woman he had ever been out with. She agreed on everything he said and kept hinting that they would look so cute together on the cover of Vanity or some magazine he wasn’t paying attention. As she rubbed her freshly manicured fingers across his right arm he didn't understand why he wasn’t enjoying himself, why the feel of her soft hands on his skin didn’t leave him wanting more. His sister picked her out perfect for him.
She had long sexy legs soft ivory skin. Her body was lean and toned. She was the perfect shape from her tight little waist to her slender swanlike neck. She was beautiful so why wasn’t that enough for him anymore. Someone cleared their throat and he looked up and saw his teammate and best friend Aj and his wife Gia.
“Ramón fancy seeing you here thought you were in for the night?” Aj walked over to him with one hand in his pocket and the other wrapped around his wife’s waist.
“Hey Aj I thought so too when Brit said she was gonna hook me up I thought it would be next week or something not same day.”
Ramón looked at Gia.
“And Gia aren’t you looking beautiful tonight.”
Ramón stood and hugged her. Aj smiled.
“And who do we have here?”
Oh this is Sammy.”
“It’s Sandy!”
Ramón looked at her with his hands in front of him.
“I am so sorry.”
She mugged him as she placed her cell phone in her purse and stood.
“You know this is not what I expected when your sister told me I was going out with you. I couldn’t believe it I thought we would be going out to a party or hit up an awards ceremony but a lame ass dinner come on this is boring. Where are the cameras and interviews? If you ever need a date for something like that, call me. My girl just texted me about an after party for Bonez so I'm out. I still love you though.”
She got up and smiled at Gia then walked away. Aj looked at Ramón.
“What are you doing?”
“What?”
“She looked like your type and you just let her
