�Is it true?  Could it be?� I asked myself.  �Would she fuckin� have the guts to cheat?  I mean, she wouldn�t do something like.  She loves me, I love her.�
�Brian?�
�Yes Nick?�
�You okay?�
�Kevin just told me something.�
�Was it is?�  I glanced at Nick as he sat down.
�She�s cheating on me.�
�Theresa?�
�Yes.�
�And you believe him?�
�Why shouldn�t I?�
�Oh, maybe because Kevin never liked her.�
�But he�s family.�
�And family is more important than the one person you love?�
�It can be Nick.�
�Have you talked to her?�
�Not yet.  I will when she comes home.�
�You know, she honestly loves you.  Sometimes I wonder why.�  I watched him as he shook his head and walked out the door.
�Oh, hey Nick.  Are you leaving?�
�Hey Theresa.  Oh, yeah, I am.  I�ll talk to you later.�
�Are you still coming over for the game tonight?�
�I�m not sure.�  She turned and looked at Nick.
�Nick, it�s our weekly thing.  You finally are off of touring and not recording��
�Look, I just don�t want to.�  She stepped back and Nick sighed.  �I�m sorry..�
�No, it�s okay Nick.  You have other plans or whatever, that�s cool.  I�ll call you tomorrow, okay?�
�Sure.�  She stepped into the house and glanced around.
�Brian baby, I�m home.�
�Hey Resa,� I said, walking down the stairs.
�How was your day?� she asked, walking over to me.  Her arms slipped around my neck and her lips reached out for mine.  I backed up and got out of her embrace. �What?�
�Oh, nothing, um, my day was fine.�
�Okay.  What did you do?�  She followed me into the kitchen and sat down on my lap.  I sighed and smiled at her.
�I hate to be rude, but can you get up.  I was going to make dinner and sides, don�t you want a shower?�
�Well, I will go take one.  Is something wrong Brian?�
�I�m not sure.  Look, just go take a shower and we�ll talk.�
�But I can�t get a kiss.�
�You�re all sweaty and icky.�  She raised an eyebrow at me.
�Brian, I work with the kids.  I�m a basketball couch, which means, I run up and down that court.  That�s been my job for three years, a year longer than we�ve known each other.  You�ve kissed my numerous times like that, why stop now?�
�I don�t want to.�  Her eyes narrowed and I knew tonight was going to be a long night.
�We�ll finish this when I�m done.�  She stomped back up the stairs and I sat down at the table.  �A very long night.�

She kept her hair up and she walked down the stairs.  �Damn, why wear that?� I asked myself as she walked down the stairs.  A tank top that was a very low cut V-neck and a low back, showing her tattoos very nicely.  Not to mention the shorts that are, well, basically put, hoochie mama shorts.  She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs.  She looked up at me and I smiled. She just rolled her eyes. 
�Okay, I�.� I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at her.  �I got told you were cheating on me and I need to know if it�s true.�
�Excuse me?�
�Please don�t make me repeat that.�
�Oh no, you have to.  The most I got out of it was�you�re accusing me of cheating.�
�I�m not accusing��
�Than someone else did and instead of asking me you passed judgment on me already.�
�I did not.�
�Brian Thomas, you have never been good at lying, don�t start now.�
�Okay, maybe I had questioned it.�
�Questioned it my ass.  You didn�t give it a second thought.  Someone put the idea in your head and that�s all they needed.   You weren�t going to ask me, you were going to tell me something.�
�Like?�
�Is it over?�
�You tell me.�
�Tell you what Brian?  No, I haven�t slept with anyone else but you.  I mean, for crying out loud Brian, I gave you my virginity.  If I had such self respect to do that, do you honestly think I would cheat on you?�
�You never know.�  �Oh, not the words to say B-Rok.�
�I see.� She nodded her head and I groaned.  I had no idea about what I wanted to do.  I loved her beyond anything.  She was my soul mate. Sweet, charming, loved basketball, and even whooped my butt a couple times on the court.  She was just as religious as I was, or she at least tried to be.  �You know Brian, you�re not a sweet guy.  A mother fuckin� jack ass if you asked me.  And Lord only knows what the fuck I saw in you.  God, I don�t�.I gave up everything to be with you.  My house, my family�� She turned around and ran up stairs.  Okay, so I said she tried to be good.  I sat down on the couch and just stared at the wall.  That did not go very well.  I heard something plop down on the floor and I quickly stood up.
�Where are you going?�
�I don�t know.  Just not staying here.�
�But��
�Oh, not but�s right now Brian.  I don�t know what you wanted to hear and I don�t know who told you��
�Kevin.�
�It was wrong and�who told you?�
�Kevin.�
�Kevin Richardson?�
