excitement. "Yes! That's fantastic!" she said, and then she sank slightly in her chair and looked at Brandy with worried eyes.
     
    "How can you do that, though? You have so much going on! You are barely scraping by as it is right now! How on earth are you ever going to find time for a guy?" she asked, shaking her head. "Don't get me wrong, because I want this for you, but you are barely holding it together. I'm not sure you can do this and keep your head above water."
     
    Brandy bit her lip and leaned closer to her friend. "Listen, he and I have worked out a little schedule, and he knows that school is important to me, so he's seeing me on the side, around my time, and I took one night off a week to be with him."
     
    Alice lowered one eyebrow. "You took one night off a week? From school or work?"
     
    Brandy groaned. "From work, of course; there's no way I could take a night off of school and get my grades back up high enough to pass everything."
     
    Her friend leaned close to her and looked into her eyes intently. "And how are you going to manage losing the kind of money you'll be losing, when you take a night off a week?"
     
    Wondering if she should tell her friend the truth, and simultaneously knowing that she could not hope to keep the truth from her, Brandy took Alice into her confidence.
     
    "It's a special arrangement that I have with him. He's going to compensate me for every time that we are together,” she told her friend in a hushed whisper.
     
    Alice's eyes grew enormously wide. "What? Are you telling me that you are a prostitute now?" She look at Brandy in in shock and horror.
     
    Brandy frowned deeply back at her. "No, of course not! I'm no prostitute!"
     
    Alice folded her arms across her chest. "He's paying you to screw him, right? That's the definition of prostitution."
     
    Brandy grew irritated. "That's not it at all. I'm more like a mistress. We like each other!" She spoke defensively.
     
    Her friend sat straight up in her chair and her eyes widened even further than they had just before then. "A mistress? Is he married?"
     
    Brandy's hand flew to her mouth and then she sank slightly in her seat. "Yes. He's married."
     
    Alice let all her air out in one exasperated gasp. "What are you doing? What in the hell do you think you're doing? Sleeping with a married man for money? There's no way this can end well!"
     
    Her consternation lessened when she saw the desperate expression on Brandy's face.
     
    "I really like him. I've liked him for a long time, and things just kind of changed between us, and now it's something we've both wanted for ages and it's happening, and..." she paused and touched Alice's arm, raising one eyebrow dramatically, "it's amazing ."
     
    Alice looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Wait, you already knew this guy? Who is it?"
     
    "You don't know him," Brandy said quietly, taking a bite of her hamburger.
     
    "I know everyone you know. Who is it?" Alice insisted again.
     
    Brandy swallowed and then she spoke his name. "Kyle Jamison,” she said in a breathless whisper, smiling unbidden at the joy his very name brought to her.
     
    Alice tilted her head thoughtfully and bit her lip thinking about what she had just learned. "Kyle... Kyle... Ky-" She stopped suddenly and sat bolt upright in her seat.
     
    "Wait a minute... is this the super cute guy from your office? The married cute guy who you've had a crush on for a while?"
     
    Brandy grinned and nodded, as Alice's mouth formed an "O." 
     
    "Have you lost what's left of your mind?" she asked Brandy in a horrified gasp.
     
    "You're sleeping with a married man who is one of your clients from work?" Alice asked her in disbelief.
     
    "You know, it sounds so much worse when you say it like that." Brandy frowned and took a sip of her coffee. "It's not as bad as that sounds."
     
    "What it sounds like to me is that you've completely lost your mind and your morals all in one fell swoop for a hot guy who wants to buy you.
