for her, big deal. He was also fucking
    around on his girlfriend, and Donna had made it easy for
    him, throwing herself on top of his penis.
    With a sigh she pulled on her underwear and pants,
    shoved her feet into her shoes and stuffed her bra in her
    purse along with the unused rubbers. Wouldn’t need those,
    not for a long, long time. Grace could have them back along
    with the rest of the men in the world because Donna had had
    it with them all. First Daniel cheated on Jade and now Sam
    was cheating on whomever, only Donna was the dirty whore
    he’d done it with.
    The bathroom door opened and Sam emerged wearing
    sweatpants and his tank top. Five minutes ago, she would
    have thought him the best sight in the world.
    He frowned when he saw her coat in her hand. “Are you
    leaving?”
    “Yeah, it’s late. I have to go. I have work in the
    morning.”
    He nodded and walked toward her. “I understand.”
    Leaning down, he aimed to plant a kiss on her mouth when
    she turned her face so it landed on her cheek instead. Sam
    backed up and looked down at her as she did her best to not
    visibly shake. “Can I call you tomorrow?”

    Donna managed to say, “You don’t have to. Really.
    I…uh…have to go.” She shook so badly, she didn’t know
    how she managed to unlock the door and get into the
    hallway but she did. Passing Daniel’s door the irony of how
    she and Sam met hit her hard.
    It seemed nothing good happened in this building. She’d
    wanted things to work out with Sam so badly, it hurt even
    worse that they hadn’t.

    “A girlfriend? Are you sure?” Grace frowned.
    “Who else could it be that late?” Donna let her head drop
    until it clunked against her kitchen table.
    “I’m sorry, Don. I of all people know how you feel and
    it sucks,” Jade stroked her back gently. “I can’t believe you
    even came into work today.”
    Yeah, but she’d been a zombie and gotten nothing done.
    Donna laughed bitterly. “Thanks, Jade. You are very sweet,
    but it’s not even close to the same thing. You and Daniel had
    a relationship when he cheated on you. You loved him. All I
    did was have sex with Sam. Incredible cheating-on-your-
    girlfriend-with-a-dumb-girl-you-saved-from-a-bullet sex, but
    still, just sex. It doesn’t compare to what you must be feeling
    over Daniel.”
    Grace shook her head and shoved a dip-laden potato chip
    into her mouth. “All men suck. At least you got some
    incredible sex out of it though.”
    Donna rolled her eyes. “Thanks, that is very
    comforting.”
    Grace shrugged and dipped another chip. “It’s more than
    I’ve had recently.”
    Donna sighed. She and Grace had had contests before
    about who had gone the longest without sex. Looks like she
    would be way behind after last night, with not much more
    than some painful memories to show for it.
    Her cell phone began ringing and Donna jumped,
    thinking the same thing Grace had the night before.
    Everyone she knew was there, leaving Sam as the only

    option.
    Grace held up one hand. “Allow me.”
    Donna’s mouth opened in protest as Grace grabbed the
    phone off the kitchen counter and flipped it open. “Hello…
    Sam. Well, how nice of you to call. This is Grace, Donna’s
    friend… Yes, Donna is here. What, is your girlfriend busy
    tonight so you have time for Donna? I don’t think so.”
    Donna watched open mouthed as Grace flipped the
    phone shut and sat back at the table.
    Grace glanced up at Donna’s stricken face. “What? Did
    you want to see him again?”
    “I don’t know…no…wh…what did he say?” Donna
    blathered.
    “Not much, I hung up on him. I noticed he didn’t call
    back, though. An innocent man would have called back
    proclaiming his innocence,” Grace explained.
    Jade nodded. “Makes sense, I’m afraid.”
    Donna looked at Jade. “What did Daniel do when you
    confronted him?”
    Jade dropped her eyes. “I…uh…haven’t exactly done
    that
