Firm Decision

The four were eating dinner, a simple spaghetti. After the meal, Monique would go with Elizabeth, Mira would go with Douglas, and that would be that. But the normally bawdy Monique was uncharacteristically pensive. Halfway through dinner, Douglas discovered why.

"I don't think we should swap back," she said, finishing another glass of wine. Elizabeth's big blue eyes widened.

"What was that?" she asked.

"I don't think we should swap back, baby," Monique said, repeating herself. "Look, I love you. I fucking love you so much. But you need that romance, you need that soft shit. And fuckin' this white faggot right here for the last nine months. That woke up the beast in me. That woke up the monster in me that wants to have him tied up and squealing like a pig every fuckin' night. So let's just do what we do best, baby. You raise that baby with Mira. And I'll make sure your ex-husband is the biggest bitch in the city."
