FRUSTRATIONS GALORE

Susan was becoming unreasonable as the meeting progressed. Though we were only three there at Lenox Hotel, there was a fourth seat there, meaning that either Emma was around or someone else was there. I couldn't tell because the occasion there couldn't allow for serious thought.
Now and then, Susan would make to cry but then her tone would take an angry pitch. She was volatile and unpredictable!
"This is so unfair,Sam! After all that now you're shunting me aside for her?"
"There was nothing Susie, You wanted me but I wanted her."
There went the back and forth between them. Suddenly, Susan began to cry. This time it was real. Her make up was partly ruined by the torrents of tears but she was not about to give up yet.
"But you said that you loved me. What happened? Or were you using me to sooth your ego after she left you?"
"No. Please understand I cannot love you."
"So what was the sex all about?"

Emma walked in

It felt like a scene straight out of a soap opera movie. In an instant, I could see Sam becoming Pablo Herminio and Susan becoming Cindy. Emma was now Maya. Susan was alternating between begging Sam to stay with her while at the same time threatening to do something stupid if he did not. I sat there fiddling with my phone and wondering when it will all end. It was now an hour since we stepped inside here with Susan and it did not want o stop.

Frankly, I didn't want it to end. The more long and drawn out this affair was, the better my entertainment would be. This was real entertainment unlike those we watch on TV which are largely scripted. As long as I was just a spectator, I was fine with the happenings.
"Ras, say something." Rats!
"What? You heard him. There's nothing I can do. This is way beyond me."
"What do you mean?" 
She came menacingly close to me. I felt threatened. What is she trying to do now? bite my ear off?
"Oh, why me?" she slumped into my hands and her head straight onto my laps. She cried so much that I felt for her. I began feeling bad for saying those words to her. Sam looked sad but there was the firm resolve that he won't back down.
"There now. stop it"
Emma walked in. I couldn't help but admire the sudden turn of events.
