One: The side chick falls for her forbidden lover.

Two: The girlfriend/wife finds out.

I guess Ill entertain you with a short story about my friend.

Well call her Nicole.

Once upon a time, Nicole started hooking up with a guy.

Turns out the guy had a girlfriend.

Thus, a side chick was born.

And boy did she love it the late nights, the secrets, the lies.

Nicole was addicted to the thrilling lifestyle, addicted to the fake love drug.

She took pride in knowing that she called the shots.

Some days it was a game to her, while others it was a thrilling action movie.

The slight eye contact in a crowded room, mysteriously disappearing, small smirks at scandalous texts.

Plot twist:Nicole caught serious feels.

Nicole thought the man she was sleeping with would leave his girlfriend to be with her.

Oh Nicole, so sweet and naive.

Long story short: He never left his girlfriend.

Long story even shorter: Nicole was a mess.

However, she was most disappointed with herself.

She knew exactly what she was walking into.

Feelings were never part of the deal.

Moral of the story: You deserve better.

You deserve the world and more.

You deserve someone who is endlessly devoted to you and only thinks about you.

You deserve more than secrets and lies and late night texts and calls.

You deserve to bring your man home to your family and introduce him to your friends.

Yeah, at first, living in a commitment free world is fun and exciting.

It fills a void.

Its a temporary band-aid for loneliness.

Sooner or later, the band-aid falls off.

Dont be like Nicole.

You deserve to be somebodys number one.
