Dave was ecstatic! He ad been planning all week and finally he will unveil his plans to Letitia. Their quarrel that morning almost dampened his joy.
How can Letitia fight over petty issues like him not calling back like he said he would? He had explained till he ran out of breath about the traffic and the emergency at the workplace. It was as if she was deliberately gearing up for a fight but he didn't give in.
Today was perfect for his plans. It was her birthday, memorable enough for a wedding proposal. They have been dating for five long years and now it's time to tie the knot. It would be double celebration when he tells her that he made partner at his firm.
Dave drove down to Letitia's apartment and climbed the stairs three at a time.
When he got to the door, he saw the door into the apartment ajar. He assumed it was a robbery attack and geared up for defense as he carefully stepped in to the one bedroom apartment.
What greeted him would always resonate in his mind for years to come.
Letitia, his about to be fiancee was in deep throes of passion with his boss, who just made him partner. They didn't hear him walk in amidst his bosses grunts and his girlfriend's screams of passion.
What he heard next made him numb.
"I granted your wish and made your love sick boyfriend partner so it's time to keep your part of the bargain", his boss said "and you gave me the best birthday sex."
The ring he bought fell and clattered on the floor. Both of them turned and saw him. Letitia's eyes were drawn to the ring on the floor while his boss struggled to detach himself.
Dave did a u-turn and walked out of the apartment.
