�Where are you going?� Pollyanna asked me.
�Oh, to the ladies room. Would you like to come?�
�Yeah. Have to check my make up,� Pollyanna said. We got up and went towards the ladies room. But before I went in, I checked once again to make sure I couldn�t see Emily. �Is something wrong?� Pollyanna asked me.
�Hm? Oh, no. I just thought I heard someone calling my name.�
�Okay.� We went in and I started checking myself in the mirror and didn�t notice the person at the other end of the bathroom.
�Oh, hi Pollyanna,� Emily said coming over to give her a hug.
�Emily. What a surprise. I thought you moved,� Pollyanna said, forcing a smile.
�Oh no. I�m still here. Is Howie here?� she asked, not noticing me.
�Well, yeah he is with..�
�His wife,� I cut in.
�Oh God. Your here. You know, I don�t believe that you are his wife. Your just a whore looking for a good time. He doesn�t love you and he never will. His heart belongs to me and only me,� she said as a smile came to her face. With every once of strength I had, I tried not to slap her. But what she did next make me want to really hit her.
�No, your mistaken. Howie�s heart would never belong to a bitch like you,� I said. She reached out and slapped me. It wouldn�t have hurt except for the fact that her ring was turned around and she cut my lip with the diamond.
�Don�t go near my man again,� she said as she walked out of the door.
�God, I can�t believe she just did that,� Pollyanna said, helping me clean the cut.
�Well, don�t worry. Shit happens,� I sail. We cleaned the cut and went back to the table and I stopped. Sitting in my seat was Emily.
�Howie, when are you taking me on tour again?� Emily asked, playing with his ponytail.
�Look Emily,� he said, pushing her hand away, �I don�t like you. We�re not going out anymore. In fact I have a wife who�s pregnant.�
�I don�t believe that Howie baby,� Emily said.
�Well, I don�t care. But you better stay away from me and my wife.� With that Howie stopped talking to her and started talking with Matt.
�Is something wrong honey?� I said, walking up behind Howie and started playing with his hair.
�Nothing is wrong,� Howie said. He gazed in my eyes and everything around us was gone. He just sat there memorized by my eyes. He finally came to and sat me down on his lap. What that, Emily ran off crying.
�Howie? Howie?! Howie!?!� Pollyanna said, a smile coming up on her face.

AJ pulled up into his mom�s driveway and helped Shannon out of the car.
�Don�t look so nervous,� AJ said, giving Shannon a kiss.
�I�m trying not to be, believe me.�
�Don�t worry. I know she�s going to like you.� AJ walked up the door and knocked. His mom came to the door.
�Since when did you began knocking?� his mom asked.
�I just decided I should knock,� AJ said as he stepped into the house and gave his mom a hug. �Mom, I would like you to meet Shannon. Shannon my mom.�
�It�s a pleasure to met you Mrs.McLean,� Shannon said, extending out her hand.
�Please, Denise and the pleasure is mine,� Denise said, giving Shannon a hug. �So, are you two hungry?�
�Yeah,� AJ answered.
�Well, you know where the table is honey,� Denise said as she went back to the kitchen.
�Want a tour of the house first?� AJ asked.
�Sure.� He grabbed her hand and took her to every room. When they finished they went back to the dinning room to see the table already set.
�Sit down,� Denise said. They sat down and enjoyed their dinner. They talked and Denise told Shannon about how cute AJ was when he was young. Shannon couldn�t help but look over at AJ every time Denise talked about his embarrassing moments. Shannon reached under the table and grabbed AJ�s hand. She threw him a smile that said this wouldn�t leave her mouth. After being at the table for two hours, they went into the living room. �Would you guys like to watch a movie?� Denise asked.
�That�s cool,� AJ said. �What would you guys like to watch?� AJ asked.
�How about �My Best Friends Wedding�? I love that movie,� Denise offered.
�Yeah,� Shannon agreed.
�Oh great, that�s what I need. A love story and two women,� AJ said as he put the movie on. He went to sit down right between his mom and Shannon. Half way through the movie a knock came at the door.
�Who is that?� Denise wondered as she looked at her watch. It was going on 9:00.
�Oh hi Denise. Is AJ here? I tried calling his house but he wasn�t there and his cell is off,� a woman asked.
�God, doesn�t she give up?� AJ asked.
�Um, Amanda, I have company..�
�Oh, I don�t mind,� Amanda said, cutting Denise off. Amanda walked past Denise and into the living room. �AJ,� Amanda said.
�Oh hi Amanda. What are you doing here?� AJ asked, sitting closer to Shannon.
�Finding you. Come one. You know were supposed to go to the club tonight.�
�That was something we did before we broke up,� AJ said. Amanda just stared at AJ and then finally looked at Shannon. She looked over at Shannon�s finger and saw a diamond ring, which was her grandmother�s ring, but she passed away.
�So, you really are married to that whore?� Amanda asked.
�Look, she�s not a whore and yes, she�s my wife,� AJ said, starting to raise his voice.
�Well, I see your preference��
�Shut up!� Shannon yelled before Amanda could finish her sentence. �Look, I didn�t steal your man. If you can remember in that little brain of yours, you and AJ broke up. So, just stay away,� Shannon said. She was now standing a few feet away from Amanda.
�Whatever you say. But if you think about it, you are a whore because I�m sure that baby your carrying isn�t his,� Amanda said.
�Okay. I�ve had enough. It�s taken every ounce of strength I had not to slap you, but I swear, if you say anything else to me, you�ll have my hand print on your face for the next few days,� Shannon said, stepping closer to Amanda. Amanda just looked over at Shannon. She had no clue what do to. �Shannon had stolen her man,� she thought
