I want her, and by God, I’ll fight as dirty as I can get to have her. No matter what! Vivian Of course, I knew it was a one- night stand. It’s was the perfect night before all hell broke loose to be quite honest. Drinking, talking and flirting. One I relished in as I tried to gravitate my mind back to solid ground after soaring so high I could feel the rush of flying.

I know what it’s like to have your heart split down the middle. One-half chases her. The other half chases after the lies, deceit, and betrayal. It’s a burning ball of hell. Seconds, minutes, hours, and years all spent endured the depth of my own burning inferno. All of it runs together while life passes me by.
