I decided to drive down Eddie's street two more times; once at 2:00 a.m. and once at 6:00 a.m.  Monica's car was still parked in that very same parking spot.  This not only indicated to me that she was just visiting, but she had spent the night with Eddie.  How could he have another woman in his bed after I was just there two weeks ago?  Is this what I meant to him after all?  Why would Monica hop into Eddie's bed so quickly?  She knew we were together, without a doubt.  She did not care.  She told me so.  Monica had been there with Eddie before.  This is not the first time.  Bottom line. I was at home one day watching tv and my phone rings.  “Hello”, I answered.  “May I speak with Denise?”  “This is Denise”, who's speaking please?

            “You know who this is”, you B-I-T-C-H.  I thought to myself, “this must be Monica”.  “How did she get my number”, I wondered?  Oh, I know all too well how she got my number.  She went through Eddie’s phone book.  “Well what do you want”, I asked? 

            “Listen Denise, you stupid ass bitch”, “you got one more fucking time”. “Just one more fucking time”!  “You better be glad I'm at work because otherwise I would come over there and drop your dumb ass”.  And you're just jealous because you're not getting it anymore.  “Honey, I’m getting it all night long”.  Then Monica starts singing Lionel Ritchie’s song “All Night Long”.  Crazy whore.

In the background, I could hear Eddie and his dumb chick laughing at me.  They both blurted out with laughter and said, “see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya”!  “I got the man now”, Monica said.  “Not you”.  “Bye bitch”. Click.  I thought I was having a bad dream, but this was R-E-A-L.  A week later, Eddie and Monica were married.  I was crushed.
