Chapter 2 DUKE

I know I love Lady, but I can't help myself not to see Candy. Candy is a sweet girl, caring, pretty, and she is younger than Lady and me. She is Lady's opposite. If Lady loves reading. Candy love watching a movie with me. If Lady wants to take photos of events. Candy wants to record and take photos of our moments together because she wants to treasure every moment we are together. I am happy with Lady, but I am also happy with Candy. Lady didn't know about Candy, and Candy didn't know about Lady. I know Lady will get mad if she finds out about Candy, and same with Candy.

I don't want to lose Lady, and I also don't want to lose Candy. I am standing between them. Right now, I lied to Lady just to see Candy. I know that she is alone waiting for me at home, but Candy is alone too because her brother, the police, is not always home to be with her. That is why I told Lady that I still have work, but the truth is I will go to Candy to be with her. I know it is bad to cheat on the woman you love, but here is the woman who loves me. Waiting to be with me. Waiting for me to come. I am like in between of "I am a fool if I said that I don't love Candy but I will be a liar if I said that I love her"

"Duke," She said with a smile when she saw me. She runs to me and hurriedly open their gate to let me in. She hugged and kissed me and I know for sure that she love me. Like Lady, she is also wearing the bracelet that I gave her. She always wore it because she told me that every time she's wearing the bracelet. She feels like I am holding her hand.

"I miss you so much," She said with excitement on her face.

"Me too," I said, and I hugged and kissed her.

"Come on, Let's get inside" She held my hand, and we went inside together.

She went inside the house and like Lady. She cooked food for me, a chicken and a steak. I am just right in time because I am already hungry. I didn't eat what Lady cooked for me because I would eat with Candy. I didn't even bother to check what she cooked for me anyway. Tomorrow, I will go home to her, and I will make up for her, but I will enjoy my time with Candy right now.

"Where is your brother?" I asked even though I don't have a plan to meet her brother because this is all temporary even though she is dreaming about her "forever" with me.

"He will not go home", She answered while we were eating together. Later she will play a movie after we eat and we will watch it together.

I can't help myself not to think about Lady whenever I am with Candy, and I can't stop thinking about Candy whenever I am with Lady. I know it is funny, but it is happening to me. Though I never expect this to happen. Candy was my co-worker before. At first, I thought I only felt pity for her for losing her parents. Her father died five years ago because of cancer, and her mother died two years ago. She has nothing, only her brother, who is always busy working away from her. At first, they are just teasing me with Candy. That we are perfect for a couple. I don't mind them at first because I have Lady. Until I couldn't stand a day without being with Candy, she resigned because she got depressed from her mother's death, and I got affected. I always want to see her, to be with her. I thought it was just only for a friend but time passed. I didn't realise that we had been going for two years now. I know that she loves me, and I can feel it. She is dreaming about marriage, children and building a family with me, but I can't promise her because the woman I love is waiting for me at home, and that is Lady.

We are watching Romeo and Juliet movie. While she is lying on my lap and holding my hand. She is taking photos of me, of us, because she wants to look at it every time we are not together. That is how she loves me. She went close to my face and kissed me. First on my cheek, then next on my lips. I kissed her back, and like before, we made love. We make love on the sofa, bathroom, on her bed, in the kitchen with a camera on.

I didn't notice the time that I needed to go home. It is already seven o'clock in the morning, and I know Lady is already waiting for me. I didn't know if she slept while waiting for me. I packed my bag and bid Candy goodbye.

"See you later, Love," I told her. She hugged me tight and kissed me.

"Where can I see you again?" She asked

"Because I will miss you", She said as if she would not see me for a long time. I am always visiting her almost every day of the week because I want to see her too.

"Maybe later I will try to come here again", I answered.

"Why maybe?" She asked like a kid.

"Because I don't know my schedule yet, I have work", I lied, but the truth is I will try to make-up with Lady.

." Okay, I love you so much," She said, and she kissed and hugged me again.

"I love you too," I said. Even I am not sure if it is true because I have Lady and we are planning to get married next year. We are planning to settle down, to build a family with our kids together. I want a twin or a baby girl first. That is why I can't promise Candy anything yet. I can't promise her anything, but I can't leave her. I know this is wrong that I am playing their hearts, but I am careful. I can't leave Candy alone, but I can't break up with Lady. I am happy to have them. I am happy to be with them. For how long that I would be like this? I don't know because it is hard to choose between the two of them. They were both perfect for me.

Maybe I need to enjoy the time while I still have both of them because I know soon I need to choose between them, but as of now, I will enjoy the moment standing between the two women who loves me. I might be "just" lucky to have them. Call me selfish, but I don't care as long as I enjoy it. I will keep both of them a secret. Lady is my childhood best friend though I am confused between her and Candy, I've known Lady for the rest of my life. I also had a girlfriend before her, but it didn't work because I already loved Lady since a teenager. I know her family and her family knows me too. Even I have Candy I know I can't live without Lady. It would be unfair to Candy but she will not be going to know about it. She doesn't need to know about Lady and same with Lady. She doesn't need to know about Candy because I know that Lady is the one that I want to be with until I grow old and right now I will come home for her. I know she's waiting for me to come home and I am excited to see her, to make up with her.
