The News Anchor

"Navigating the complexities of desire and human instincts often leaves us bewildered, caught between societal norms and personal attractions."

I sat there listening to Alexi tell the story, I was shocked and amused by it, she was definitely a free spirit. I was trying to process it when he walked up with his wife, he introduced his wife and himself to me and his wife to Alexi. He was a local celebrity of sorts, being a news anchor for one of the TV stations in town. Alexi was also surprised by seeing him since she was asking me what she should do regarding him, it was hard for me to look at him, I wanted to laugh but I kept my cool.

I hadn’t seen Alexi in a few months, I got busy, and she was out a town a lot for work. Catching up with her was always interesting, the more I got to know her the more intimidated I became, I was not as free as she was sexually, she owned who she was and was not afraid to express herself in that way. She wanted more from me than I was willing to give, my priority was Fredi, and I was still reeling from Frankie’s decision.
