Chapter 5

Cassidy woke to find Tyler sleeping next to her, snoring as loudly as ever. It kept Cassidy awake and she couldn’t sleep ever since Tyler came back into the room. Not wanting to give into Tyler, Cassidy got up and put on her bathrobe to prepare breakfast. Cooking always managed to make Cassidy feel better.

But when she got downstairs to the kitchen, Daniella was already there dressed in a sexy black dress, cooking breakfast.

“Daniella, what are you doing in my kitchen?” Cassidy demanded.

“Well, I saw how busy you and Tyler were, so I wanted to help out a little.”Daniella told her sweetly.

“Well, I don’t need your help.” Cassidy spat out. “Especially with you looking like that!”

“What’s wrong with how I look?” Daniella asked innocently.

“That dress?!” Cassidy raged. “How many people cook in a sexy black dress?!”

“Well, I had a prior commitment so I got ready and thought I would make you and Tyler dinner before I left.” Daniella explained in her sugar-sweet voice.

“Yeah, I bet!” Cassidy screamed at her. “Why don’t you admit you’re trying to take Tyler away from me!”

As Cassidy threw out accusations, Daniella continued cooking, remaining calm. Cassidy’s ranting woke Tyler, who was still asleep upstairs, came downstairs to see what all the commotion was.

“What is going on down here?!” Tyler exploded.

“I was just making you two some breakfast and Cassie just flew off the handle?” Daniella said in her sugary sweet voice. “And she flew into a rage.”

“Cassie, what is wrong with you?” Tyler asked. “She’s just making breakfast.”

“Dressed like that!”

“I told your wife that I had somewhere to go, but thought I would make you two some breakfast before I go.” Daniella explained as sweetly as possible.

“There, Cassie, she’s just making breakfast for us.” Tyler tried to get Cassie to be rational.

“She’s trying to take you away! Who makes breakfast in that attire!”

“Cassie, she just told us she had somewhere to be after making breakfast.” Tyler continued to reason with Cassie.

“You know what, Tyler, I’m leaving.” Cassie yelled. “If you’re going to take her side, you can have her!”

Cassidy stormed out of the house and to her car and drove off. She had to get out. Drive somewhere—anywhere, but at home. Daniella was ruining their life and Tyler couldn’t see it.

Meanwhile, Daniella had breakfast ready and on the table when Tyler came back. She was sitting at the table waiting for Tyler and Cassidy to join her.

“Breakfast is served.” Daniella told Tyler when he came back to the kitchen after failing to reason with Cassidy.

“Thanks, Daniella.” Tyler told her as he sat down to eat.

“Where’s Cassie?” Daniella asked him, secretly happy inside.

“She left.” Was all Tyler said.

“I’m sorry, Tyler.” Daniella said as she squeezed his hand.

“It’s not your fault.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“No.”

With Cassidy gone, it was time to make her move. Daniella soothed Tyler’s hand, as she inched her hand further up his arm, rubbing it soothingly. Enjoying the touch, Tyler let Daniella caress him, as he was hurting from Cassidy’s tirade.

Still hurting from Cassidy leaving so angrily and her irrational behavior, Tyler kissed Daniella. Daniella had Tyler right where she wanted him. Tyler grabbed Daniella and kissed her, as the two ended up in a passionate kiss.

While Daniella and Tyler were getting passionate, Cassidy was driving so fast as thoughts of her argument came back to her, making her more angry that Tyler would side with Daniella. The past was coming back to haunt her.

Daniella was coming between her and Tyler just like when they were in high school when Daniella came between her and any guy she was interested in.

Cassidy, seeing the oncoming car through her angry tears, swerved to the side of the road and went off into a ditch.
