Janet's POV

Mariah was long gone when I woke up the next morning but there were still traces of her everywhere.

Her heavenly scent was embedded in my sheets and her black thong was still in the same spot on the floor from where I threw it last night.

What a night, I said to myself as I pulled my nightgown back on.

I still couldn't help but feel guilty though

I still couldn't help but feel guilty though.

I knew what me and Mariah did was wrong from the start, but I couldn't help myself.

The opportunity presented itself so I took it not thinking that she'd ever have to leave me and go home to her fiance.

Visions of last night flickered in my mind as I got up and walked into the bathroom.

I could still feel her touch and taste her sweetness, but most of all I felt her soul. She had given me every part of her last night.

The fire in her eyes had me thinking she was trying to tell me something more.

Something I didn't know.

Mariah's Setting

"So where the hell were you last night?", Ginuwine said calmly as he watched his fiance's failed attempt at trying to sneak into the door.

Mariah instantly jumped and turned around to face him.

"Did you not just hear what I said? Where the hell were you last night?", he repeated but Mariah said nothing. She was trying her hardest to keep her tears from flowing.

"Oh so you can't talk now?", he said as he came closer.

"Do you know I was worried sick about you? I called Brat, Aaliyah, and even your damn manager so I could figure out where you were Mariah", he yelled.

"G-Ginuwine I-I....", Mariah whispered as tears began rolling down her cheeks.

His face immediately softened as soon as he heard her voice.

"Babygirl tell me what's wrong and where you were please. I almost called the police last night", he pleaded as her moved her hair out of her face, exposing her hickey covered neck causing her to move away from him.

At that point she didn't have to explain anything...he already knew.

"So...you were with another man last night...", Ginuwine said shakily.

"Am I not enough Mariah?", he asked.

"G-Ginuwine I-I love you", Mariah cried.

"Evidently you don't if you were in another man's bed last night, letting him make love to you. I'm honestly hurt because I really do love you Mariah and I was planning to make you my wife, but I see you don't feel the same way", he sighed trying his best to stay calm.

Mariah had burst into tears and fallen to her knees. The guilt was too much for her.

"All of this crying and shit isn't phasing me Mariah. I should be the one crying right now. You knew exactly what you were doing when you laid with him. Who is he?"

"It's not what you think Ginuwine I swear", Mariah sobbed.

"What the hell are you talking about?! It's obvious you cheated!", he yelled.

"I-I didn't sleep w-with a m-", Mariah said but was interrupted when Ginuwine smash a glass vase on the floor in anger.

"I don't wanna hear shit you have to say Mariah! You're gonna listen to me!", he yelled causing Mariah to cry louder.

"I love you Mariah! Why would you do this to me? I have done nothing but love and take care of you. I've never done you wrong. There has to be a reason why you went and laid down with another man! You're supposed to be mine", he yelled on the brink of tears.

"Is it because I can't get you pregnant? Or am I not already fucking you good enough? Matter of fact, you haven't let me have you in weeks, now I know why."

"G-Ginuwine I-I'm sorry but I didn't sleep with a m-", Mariah cried.

"Oh I know you're sorry alright", he interrupted again.

"Baby I didn't sleep with a man okay!", Mariah said finally mustering up the strength to yell.

"YOU SAID WHAT?!", he growled as he stormed towards her causing her to cover her eyes.

It was too late. He had already blacked-out.
