"Are you all right?" a voice said behind me.

"Yes, I am fine"

I turned around to see Len Thomas, an acquaintance of Christy and mine. He liked to be called LT. Christy and I always made fun of him. He was so cocky and arrogant. He strutted around like the world owed him something. His attitude towards people was such a turn off. If you were smarter than him or acted smarter than him he would not be happy until he made you look dumb. At times, I could be no better and everyone has faults. I avoided him because he always made me feel uneasy. He lurked around like a rapist stalking his next victim. The way he stared at me like he was trying to take my clothes off. I knew he didn't like Billy. LT was always trying to get us to break up. Just last week when Christy and I were leaving for the club he told me that Billy was cheating on me. Well, he was right about that. Maybe he wasn't so bad so, I spoke to him.

"No, I am not alright. Billy is leaving me. I love him so much. I can't imagine life without him. He was my soul mate or so I thought. I wish I knew how to fix everything with him."

" Felicia, it will be okay please come up to my apartment and have some tea. We can talk about it. Maybe come up with a plan of action."

I had an uneasy feeling in my gut. My mind was saying go home but I was so hurt by his leaving, I couldn't bear to go home. Billy was there waiting for me. So he could regurgitate page 107 of this month's Cosmo. I was not about to have him soothe his guilt on my soul. Maybe revenge was leading me upstairs. Maybe having my own affair would soothe my heart. I knew I loved him too much to even go thorough with it. I believe that I was destined for this journey and the fate would allow no detours. If I had been a nicer person in college the fates would have not decide to teach me a lesson. Maybe this journey would not have to be. That I will never know. I awoke with LT staring at me. I reached felt raw, unclean, and violated.

"What did you do to me? You bastard" I screamed as I got up and raced to the doorway.

" I only did what you wanted." He smirked.
