“How could you do this to me, Amelia?” I stared at her with a fierce indignation that couldn't be explained. The woman whom I had been seeing forever in her eyes was finally showing me that I had been seeing incorrectly at that point.“Really…? Dolph?” She angrily got up from the bed where I had caught her with the last person I had been expecting to see her with. “You deserve way worse than this, Dolph. What the heck are you showing your face here for?”Those words shredded my heart into tiny irreparable pieces that I would spend the rest of my life trying to fix, but to no avail. The heartless look in her eyes was what had me reeling from the pain and the surprise.“You're doing this to me?” I held the ring tightly in my hands as I stared at the man who was hurriedly trying to get dressed. “Phil… I can't believe so could he have sunk this low…” he was supposed to be my business associate but he chest had some other business to take care of. “Too bad, Dolph, but I can't accept that

“Tamika…” I took his breath away before he could call out my name. My lips came crashing on his as I had been trying to get Amelia mad. But then, I wasn't sure if I was still trying to act or if I was doing something I had always been longing to do.For a moment, I had forgotten that we were somewhere in his living room and that we were in front of Amelia. Why was I enjoying the act so much? And why wasn't he pushing me away like he normally would?The connection of the moment was undeniable, and I didn't want it stopping at any point from there. It was quite a lot for me to handle, as I wasn't sure I had ever felt such a rapturous feeling. My heart felt like it was going to rupture from the immense pleasure that came with the moment. Dolph was doing something that no one had been able to do in a while— leaving Tamika Fisher breathless and thirsting for more.“Uhmm…” Amelia cleared her throat just to let us remember that she was still in the room. But that still wasn't enough to mak

“Come on… gimme a break…” I let out as I woke up. Panting and gasping for air as I had woken up from yet another one of the dreams where I had been on the altar with Dolph. But for some reason, I wasn't as scared as I used to be of the scene. And that was the thing that had me even more scared at that. It was hard to understand why I was becoming slowly connected to that dream each time I woke up from it. Was the universe trying to tell me something? If it was telling me that I was meant to get emotionally attached, then I was surely not going to accept it. But…“Ugh…” I let out a sigh as I remembered the electrifying kiss we'd had in front of his ex. The moment wouldn't stop playing over and over in my head. It was just too much for me to handle, as the memory came back with all the fiery emotions I had experienced in those steamy seconds. I had to admit that a part of me had gone beyond acting. My emotions had gotten into it at some point, and that was where I had screwed up. But

“But that just isn't Tamika Fisher…” I let out in frustration as I felt betrayed by Julia who was taking Dolph's side for getting me those lake books that would end up making me like every other relationship therapist out there.“I understand your fear of losing your uniqueness. But then, Dolph could be right in a way. You need to know some of the stuff written in there as a therapist. It just wouldn't sit properly that Tamika Fisher doesn't know some of the basics”“Tamika Fisher doesn't need to know the basics. She is way too advanced for the basics and that's why she's the best. She has been there and has done it all.” I asserted as I paced the dining impatiently as I was trying not to let my day get ruined.“Wow…” Julia seemed a bit surprised about my abject refusal to comply with anything that she or Dolph had to suggest. “This could be an added advantage for you, you know. Perhaps that's why he got it for you.”It was weird that I thought that I would need some counseling for my

“How did it go, Tara?” I paid no mind to my mother's words, as I stormed into the house with a heart heavy with disappointment. There just wasn't any telling just how much of a hit my pride had taken from Dolph's brutal rejection which had happened in front of Tamika and that had made it even worse.“Tara?” My mother asked, less cheerfully that time around, as she followed me up to my room I didn't stop for a single moment in my hurried run to my room. I didn't want to speak to anyone or to be spoken to. The pain was just too much for anyone to bear. My proof plan had failed me without a second thought and that made me sad.“Aren't you going to say something?” My mother followed me to my room as I buried my face in my bed’s mattress and let out a loud cry. “She was there to ruin it all…” I let out in pain as I turned to lie on my back to face the ceiling blankly. “That little mutt was there.”“Who? Tamika?” My mother’s eyes flared up instantly as she drew closer to me. “That little
