"Cafe Latte with Peppermint for Marcus"

Marcus grabs his drink and sits down at a table. He sits his drink on the table in front of the lady that is sitting across from him. He gently touches her hand and she puts her head down and begins to softly wipe the spilled coffee that is on the table with a Starbucks napkin. Here is their conversation:

Marcus- "We are going to get through this."

Female-"I don't know Marcus, a baby?"

Marcus-"I know, I know, I really fucked up but I still have to be there for my child."

Female-"What about being there for us?"

Marcus-"I will be there but what type of man would I be if I didn't take care of my seed?"

Female-"What type pf man would cheat on his wife? You didn't just hurt me you hurt our entire family. How am I going to explain to our son that he has another brother or sister by someone other than his mother?"

Marcus-"I'll tell him that men Fuck up and that he'll understand when he becomes a man!"

Men are often excused for their infidelities by the simple fact that they are men. Women will often stay with a man after he's cheated but men don't seem to stay with the woman. Is it a territorial thing? They have a problem forgetting the fact that another man "marked" their territory. Cheating is definitely universal to women and men of all races. I was told once that a man can cheat and still love his girlfriend or wife. I don't know if I necessarily agree with that but I do know that men will cheat for physical reasons and women usually cheat because they are missing something emotional from their mate. Here are a few signs to know when a person is cheating:

• Cell phone is always mysteriously dead or turned off when you call
  
• Cell phone is always turned off when they are with you
• Never met his/her family
• Always working late
• Always text messaging (this is a new thing, why text message unless there is something that they don't want to say in front of you
• The person doesn't like to go to very crowded places, i.e. malls, festivals etc)
• Cell phone has a security code so that no one can call out or browse through the call log without a password

These are just a few signs but a person will know in their heart when someone is cheating. Do men really cheat more than women or are women just better at not getting caught?

The Lady who hates her Damn Job!

A woman comes in and orders a Brewed Hot Coffee and makes an announcement to the baristas' about how she's late for work. There are about five people in front of her in the line. She glances at her watch and then the Hoopla games that are for sale. She picks up a bag of coffee and looks at it for a few seconds and she then puts it back on the shelf and frantically glances back at her watch again.

Why is it that people come into somewhere already late and then expect people to move and the clock to tick to their pace? The fact that she woke up late lets' us know that she's going to a place where she really doesn't want to be. She's in a hurry to probably go kiss ass at a place where she's under-appreciated, a job that she wouldn't dare go to without her morning "dose" of caffeine, yet she's rushing the baristas'.

As this woman is sitting in her car driving to work, she's taking very cautious sips of her coffee. Each sip of caffeine takes her to another place, a place where she's forgotten how to get to on her own. A place where only her coffee can take her. She remembers love, she remembers not rushing and savoring every moment of life. Since she's misplaced love, her coffee is the only thing that she can still call her own because she knows that it will taste the same every time.
