Chapter 6

Good morning Mrs. Braham" she greeted as soon as she opened the door slightly revealing only her face.

"Morning to my exquisite neighbor!

What brings you to my sweet home this early?" She asked with a smirk.

"Ermmmm... Ehhhh" Adrianna stuttered but Mrs. Braham interrupted.

"If you think I'll reveal your do me I do you game to your gumdrop then forget it!

"I understand your body needed it, so not to worry, I'll keep my lips sealed," she said "I understand" she added and slam the door on her face.

"Wow, that was wow" she stood there mouth agape, she rubbed her forehead and adjusted her pink cardigan before knocking on Mrs. Braham's door again.

"Did you not understand all I've said, young Lady" she was beginning to feel annoyed.

"Of course I did, and I appreciated it, but do not refuse my apple pie" she smiled showing her neatly set of white teeth.

Thanks to the dentist who had referred what to use. She eyed the apple pie before collecting it, this time she slammed the door.

"Whoa, thank you Mrs. Braham" she shouted and left for her house.

She stood at her door debating on whether she'd go in or not, or she should just change to her office wears and get to work, but what's the point of going to work, when she could do that from home, she craned her neck to Savannah's porch, but her car wasn't parked outside. She must have gone to work or somewhere else.

Just as she was about to go in. A teenage guy came over to her.

"Hi miss, my grandma said you could come over for tea and toast bread"

"Oh" she exclaimed smiling "I'd like that"

She followed him back to Mrs. Braham's house.

"She's at the backyard," he told her after they've entered the apartment.

She turned to the backyard and found her sitting on a chair with an empty one in front of her. She gestured for her to take a seat.

"The apple pie was nice" she commented.

"Thank you" pouring herself a cup of tea.

"You can have some toasts too". Mrs. Braham cleared her throat and spit out phlegm.

"I remember when I used to be just like you, not too tall, moderate booty and big boobs and slim waist". Mrs. Braham chuckled.

"I was regular at the gym and I used to love expensive stuff and men! "Ahhh!" She exclaimed!

"I have sex at least... Counting her fingers, out of seven days in the week, I left two days out, it was like I was addicted, I barely said no when it comes to sex. "

You want to know what happened when I met Phil?"

"She nodded her head.

"When I started dating Phil, I still cheated on him but it wasn't much, I did have sex whenever I want to even when he was around"

"And then one day, I sat down outside my house and a friend of mine came, we talked about random stuff and then she dropped the question like a bomb, she said

"Comfort when are you going to stop finding comfort in other men when you've got Phil?"

I was stunned. I couldn't answer and then that night I had a call from Phil saying he wanted us to meet and he came over to my house. He was sad because he already knew I've been sleeping with other men and the fact that he knew two of those men I slept with was a slap to his face. that night we broke up.

"I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I left Ohio and I came to settle down in Albany, to change my life.

"I met Austin some few months later, I told him about my past and you know what he said?"

'"She shakes her head" signifying No.

"He said 'we will check for therapists online and get you signed up for how to manage sex and all of that?' she paused.

"Few weeks after he had gotten me signed up, he bought dildos, instead of me having sex with other men, I'd use that instead, it was hard but I had Austin and other people from the team, a year later after I'd gotten married and Austin and I had our first child, I ran into Phil at the coffee shop, he was surprised to see me, so was I, we exchanged pleasantries and then we were talking and he asked if I was still a sex addict.

"I smiled knowing I overcame it, I was proud to tell him that I've found that man who helped me curb my sex life and we're married with a child.

I saw a wind of regret pass his face but I didn't care and then he asked if I still loved him, I stood up and blatantly said "No" and left and that was the last time I saw him.

She placed her hands on Adrianna's hand and continued

"Tell your fiance what you're going through before it's too late and I want you to know that when your life starts getting more better, your ex would show up, it's bound to happen but it's up to you to fight that urge" she concluded.

Adrianna took some minutes to sink in everything the woman had told her.

"What about your husband and who is that boy?" she asked an already tired woman.

"My husband is dead, and that's my grandson, my granddaughters would be back soon, I have three already married children".

"Oh that's nice" she smiled. She was about to say something when the boy spoke first.

"If my grandma doesn't mind, I want to take her to her room to rest," he said.

"Oh yeah, I need to rest, I'm getting old every day, we will see some other time young lady, right now I want to have a conversation with my husband in my sleep," Mrs. Braham told her, her grandson holding her hand and leading her inside.

"Thank you ma, rest well," Adrianna said amidst laughter.
