just to break Stephen‘s heart, literally and make him feel the way that Sheena felt. Stephen wasn‘t expecting anyone, so he was shocked when he opened the door and saw the woman he thought was Sheena standing there. He only started a relationship with Tanya because he didn‘t think Sheena would give him another chance. Yet, here she was, standing before him, and in one moment all his plans changed.

 

“Hello, Sheena,” he said and made way. “Come on in.”

Sheila went in and he closed the door behind her. “How are you, Stephen?”

 

“I wasn‘t expecting you, but I did want you to come over. I want to talk to you. Let me explain…”

 

Sheila sat on his loveseat in his living room and listened to him quietly.

“What I did with Tanya, it was a mistake.”

 

“It wasn‘t a mistake, Stephen,” she said, seductively and crossed her legs. “You‘ve been cheating on me with her all this time.”

 

“I know but I realize I was wrong.”

“So you admit it.”

 

He took the liberty to sit beside her. He held her hand. “I‘ve always loved you. I always will. Please give me another chance. I‘m a wreck without you.”

 

“What was it that I didn‘t give you? Can you tell me that?” “You gave me everything you had, I know.” “Then why did you cheat with her?”

 

“It all started one night. We were drunk and…”

“And it just continued to happen,” said Sheila.

“I don‘t know what I was thinking.”

“That‘s just it. You weren‘t thinking.”

“I can‘t tell you enough how sorry I am.”

 

She got up from the loveseat. “But I‘ve just decided that I‘m not going to let Tanya win. You know me. You know that I‘ve never let anyone take what‘s mine. What are you going to do about Tanya‘s baby?”

 

“I‘m going to support the baby and give him or her everything he or she needs, but I‘m going to break it off with Tanya. She‘s got to understand that what we had was never real, that it was nothing but a mistake.” He gave her a hug.

 

As she hugged him, she shed tears because she knew that Sheena was also pregnant with his baby. She was one month pregnant and her sister and her niece died because of him and Tanya. Now, they had to pay. “I‘ve got to go get ready because I came to spend the night with you.” She picked up the bag from the loveseat. He noticed the bag and covered his mouth so that she wouldn‘t notice that he was drooling. “Go to your room. You smell great. I‘ll see you in your room, baby. I promise to give you the night of your life.” She walked out of the living room, into the hallway, and he walked to look toward the hallway. When she saw him, she smiled at him naughtily and closed the door to the hallway bathroom.

 

He went to his bedroom to wait for her. Precisely at that moment, the phone rang. Tanya was calling. Stephen was supposed to come over to her house tonight. It was late and he didn‘t show up. He would never leave his house after midnight unless he had an emergency and it was fifteen minutes after midnight. She knew that he wasn‘t coming, but she didn‘t know why. She was very angry. Stephen saw Tanya‘s number on the caller ID on the screen of the cordless phone. Sheila smiled. Somehow she knew that Tanya was the one calling. If you think you’re
