New Update: This new work Love Affair, I have been working on is officially on hold for a long while, for intellectual reasons. 

When a man catches his wife cheating is just a question enough?

In a fight with your spouse, is it common to run off with another guy?

Which event is best for SCENE ONE: The noise of MILLER looking for keys awakens VIRGINIE or the slam of the kitchen cabinet door awakens VIRGINIE?

Scoot forward she paints her nails on the end table.  Suddenly, surprised she hears the pot on the stove begin to boil.  Quickly, she fans her nails; runs to the kitchen and turns off the stove top.

So, if God had strict rules about committing adultery, why do women still choose to cheat? My reason is because they are not aware of Gods rules; for this reason may not be a child of God.

What does the Bible say about committing adultery?

Exodus 20:14 

“You shall not commit adultery.

Leviticus 18:20 

And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make yourself unclean with her.

Romans 7:3 

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

Hebrews 13:4 

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Proverbs 6:24-29 

To preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? ...

Deuteronomy 22:22 


“

If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

Matthew 5:32 

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Ephesians 5:5 

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Romans 2:21-24 

You then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

Proverbs 6:32 

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.

Matthew 19:9 

And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

*All scriptures are from Bible version: ESV.

For a woman who cheats on her husband, will her actions produce good karma or bad karma?

Is it necessary for a wife to be cute, sweet, and sexy?

As VIRGINIE walks to the kitchen, SAYON likes her wide shape, he focuses on her butt.

VIRGINIE'S gown and robe is satin.

Although, marriage is the right move.  How could one wrong move lead Virginie and Miller in the wrong direction?

VIRGINIE:
(she pleads with Miller, hoping he understands)
                 We needed the money.
MILLER:
(his eyes brows raise, he feels angry)
So, you just went against me behind my back?

What causes a woman to cheat: money, sex, or companionship?

For Miller, Virginie, and Sayon characters in Love Affair, I am reading zodiac traits to determine and develop the personality of their character (for sure, neither characters will have a personality of an Aries or a Virgo).

Why is work and hanging out with friends more important to men than women?

Are there really rules to a jump rope workout?

I added a new character to Love Affair: Pearl, a neighbor who is a witness to Virginie and Sayon's affair.

The season of  Love Affair is Spring.

What is the definition of temper tantrum?

I haven't known what to write about in the last few days, so I haven't written anything at all. Today should be a good day. No work. After my morning activity of tree planting in Queens, I will revisit what I have written for the first act for a review. -Later!

After beginning the story with VIRGINIE meeting SAYON, I've decided to change the beginning, and begin with VIRGINIE and MILLER. Why the change?  To introduce the condition between the relationship of VIRGINIE and MILLER, first.

So, I've decided to print just the progress of ACT ONE, to reread it a few times until I think its complete and clear.

I changed my mind. In the opening of the story; instead of Sayon doing push-ups when he first meets Virginie, I want him to be jumping with a rope, reciting lyrics to a song.

Research: Online News Blog: 

I wanted to read and unerdstand, what does a married woman really want.  According to this Huffington Post's : "Sex In Marriage: Survey Reveals What Women Want," women really want affection.

What is one thing Miller and Virginie like to do together? I don't know...

Miller is a work alcoholic; gambles, and then bore at home with Virginie.  Can be a bore ruin a relationship?

Research: Audio Visual Media: Mims, an American rap artist.  One of his throw back songs: "Keep Up With Me Daddy".  Its a really nice song, but it reminds me of words, and mentality of the second man to a woman already in a relationship.

Although, Virginie and Miller are not working together as a "We", Virginie does have the power to change the relationship from negative to positive by changing herself.

Virginie tries to lead the story in a new direction by doing more to please her man.

Question: Should a married woman take money from a guy? Well... Virginie does, and as soon as Miller finds out; nevertheless, the helpful favor causes trouble in their relationship.

Research: Question: What needs to be altered on the back of a wedding dress?

Tonight, as I work on Love Affair script, on youtube I'm listening to Mario Barrett's new R & B (love and romantic)  song "Falling Down".

What is the main question in the story? Can Virginie and Miller fix their marriage?

Virginie can be moody and insecure, a whiner; whereas, Sayon is independent, aloof, and can misunderstand, and Miller can be devotional, accountable, with a love to be surrounded by a small group of people.

In Virginie's kitchen which sexy kitchen tools will she use? Here's a few...a toaster, coffee maker, knife, hand rag, cooking apron.

Best places for sex: The couch; outside in a tent; a closet; the side of the bed, the bathroom in the shower.

The next time Virginie and Sayon meet it's a visit to her house.

Virginie's confidant, Thelma, helps Virginie to realize as a married woman sleeping with another man is neither God's way nor resolution to her martial problems.

Okay...I googled: french girl names, and I like the name Virginie.  Tya's new name is Virginie!

I'm thinking about changing Tya's name to a french name. Why? French language is a romantic language, and a french name will symbolize the theme of the story.

Research: Audio Visual Media: Mario Barrett  "Sexy While You Chillin" ft. Los. This song inspires the character development for the main character Virginie to be very feminine and attractive to a man in her attitude, in her walk, body shape, and movement.

Research: Question: What do men find sex about women?

Character Profile: Sayon is having and affair with a married woman, and becomes obsessed with her, and when she leaves him, he becomes violent.

Sayon as an armed security guard., which means he carries a gun. How do I reveal this in the story?

That was quick! Here's my joke: Bride Tara says, "Good thing I I lost some of that weight; after awhile, waddling around fat you start to walk slow like a snail and feel like a whale." Lol.

I want to add comedy, or a funny joke to a dialogue conversation between Tya and her client, Tara.  I am not funny... So, I'm going to read wedding jokes written by other writers to help me create my own funny joke!

Tya's career profession as a tailor allows her to work from home.

Is it appropriate to have an affair in the family house or a motel?

#FunBuzz At the game table, a player puts 100 pennies, 10 dimes, one dollar bill, and four quarters on the table to play a game.

Why stay bitter in a marriage? What happen to until death do us part? What happens when you let go of faithfulness in a marriage? Unfaithfulness did not destroy the marriage, selfishness did.

"Obsess definition: Haunt in mind; preoccupy or be preoccupied greatly." (Webster)

"Test Love! Sometimes you have to test love to add value to love." -Nosy Rosie

What is obsessive behavior in a relationship? I'm gonna research this, and follow up with the answer to this question.

Tya's favorite thing to do is cook.

Averne is a sexy friend of Miller.  Averne is a server, shes part of the gambling crew.

Miller's game choice is Black Jack.

First of all, I must admit that as I write the story, characters objectives are not identifying with the idea I had in mind.  It seems their objectives are bringing the story into a different direction with the same plot.   

The problem I think is, I thought I knew early before creating the story who the protagonist and antagonist were, but it seems like the antagonist actually may be Tya's husband, Miller.  Why? Because Miller's gambling habits are conflicting with Tya's desire to have a happy, loving and supportive marriage with him; however, she seeks get what she needs from Sayon; therefore, she commits adultery.

I have began writing Act I, Scene 3, and I want this scene to be the first sexual encounter of  Tya and Sayon, but I can't figure out the point of his visit.

Suddenly, I have decided to change character names for a few characters: La-Ron to Sayon and Kevin to Miller. Why the change? As I recited the old character names; the names didn't appear memorable.

The plot of Love Affair: Tya cheats on her husband due to suspicion and loneliness.

Who gambles? According to John Grochowski's article: Who Gambles?  Independent polling groups survey suggests, "the typical casino customer to be slightly older, slightly better-educated and slightly more affluent than the average American adult." Grochowski states, "the median age of casino customers is 48, compared with a median age of 46 for U.S. adults over age 21."Another researcher, "Harrah's by the NFO World Group, the survey finds a median household income of $53,204 for casino players."

Grochowski, J. (2004). Who Gambles? Available from Casino City Times.

Tya's resolute to handle stress is to have an alcoholic drink.

What are Tya's 3 obstacles to being faithful to her husband? 1. Loneliness 2. Suspicion 3. Lack of faith in God.

A woman should know her husband just as a husband should know his wife.  How did Tya's husband, Kevin, not know she was cheating on him?

An event of the story: Tya walks on her way home from a store,  she runs into La-Ron.  He offers to carry her bags. He asks does she have time to hang out.  She says, yes.  At the house, he walks inside behind her, he uses his foot to close the door. The door slams.  Tya stops and drops her bags on the ground, she turns to him, she walks to him.  He holds two bags.  Tya pulls his pants close to her, unbuckles his belt, unzip his pants, gets on her knees,  pulls his penis out, puts it in her mouth and begins to suck, it.  La-Ron, drops the bags, and leans up against the door. La-Ron aroused, tells her to get up and bends her over on the couch, from behind he penetrates his penis inside her.

How does a love affair begin? Physical attraction.

What other addictions do men have besides sex and sports? Gambling.

"One day she is passionately in love with her husband, the next minute he does something wrong or she dislikes, her mind fantasizes, she desires the other man."

A Kiss Observation: After the long kiss- his lips fall slowly off her bottom lip.

#FunBuzz Soon after, Tya's husband, Sayon had a revelation and recognized her feelings his theme song became: Tank "Emergency".

#FunBuzz After discovering Tya's secret, La-Ron's heart sung : Al Green "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart".

Why do women cheat? NOT ENOUGH SEX; she doesn't feel needed.  AFTER having SEX  with THE other man HER self-estEEm feels GOOD, she FEELs Better About HERselF.

What action happens first?

ACT I

Scene 1

Its Sunday, early morning.  La-Ron's outside his doing push-ups and Tya, his neighbor is pulling a piece of furniture out the house to put at the curb.  La-Ron see's her struggling.  He finishes his last push-up, walks over to her, and asks does she need help.  Tya declines and continues to push and pull the piece of furniture.  La-Ron walks over to the furniture to help.  Tya stops.

TYA:

No, thanks.  I told you, I can manage.

La-Ron ignores her.

LA-RON:

Why do women always have to do things by themselves?

TYA:

No. Why should we have to wait for a men to get things done?

La-Ron laughs.

LA-RON:

Ha, ha.  Your right.  But, I am standing right here, right now.  Wow! You should accept my offer and let me help.

TYA:

Okay.  Take the other side.

La-Ron grabs the edge of the piece of furniture.

LA-RON:

Ready? Pull!

Together they move the piece of furniture to the curb.

Research: Subject: The mentor. Who will be La-Ron's mentor?

May be this online article will help determine who this person should be: The Hero's Journey - Meeting with the MentorFrom Christopher Vogler's "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure": http://adulted.about.com/od/howtos/a/hjmeetingthementor.htm

Who is the mentor in a story? The mentor prepares the hero for his journey and to accept the adventure; it can be man, woman, or God.

Reference:

Peterson, D. (2012). The Hero's Journey - Meeting with the Mentor From Christopher Vogler's "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure." Available from About.com Guide. 

La-Ron: What about him is interesting? Why is he so unique? Does he have charm? Is he intelligent? What makes women fantasize and desire to be with him? La-Ron Malone is a nice guy, he is the good guy.  He is the guy most women want to take home to meet their mother; he is the conventional lover all women dream of.

Who is Tya? Tya the ANTAGONIST is patient, confident, determined, selfish, distant, aloof, and mysterious.

What is the conflict of the story? Tya commits adultery, and has not told La-Ron, the other guy, she is married.  Things between Tya and La-Ron become a conflict when he wants to spend more time with her, and she can't.  However, instead of telling him the truth, she distance herself and pulls away from La-Ron hoping he catches a hint, which he does.

"All character personalities and scenes should consistently be focused on the plot or main point of the story." (Nosy Rosie)

La-Ron Malone's wife died of breast cancer, its been years since he enjoyed the company of a woman in his home or even felt the closeness of a woman's body.  A typical day for him is work and then, to the gym.  After watching his wife die in his arms, he never looked at another woman the same way he felt for her.  Instead, of entertaining romance, in his spare time on a day off, he travels or volunteers with the Feed the Children of the World.  Giving back to the community makes La-Ron feel good, though, he never considers love.  Until he meets Tya Barrett.  Tya's independence and strong will reminds him of his wife.  He never considered replacement of his wife but his thoughts keep recalling Tya.

Technique / Style: I will use mathematical term; symmetry to help unfold the story Love Affair through characters and scenic design.

Exodus 20:17

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Exodus 20:14
 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Who is La-Ron Malone?  La-Ron the PROTAGONIST is compassionate, confident, passionate, hopeful, faithful, determined, and strong.

Why do people divorce? There were many reasons I discovered. Here's a few solutions: talk, listen, compromise, and stop arguing over petty stuff! Lol.

At the moment, I am online reading Divorce stories in search for one answer: Why do happy married couples break up? Lol.

I need at least one more important character as a mentor. I'm thinking the role for the character; a neighbor, a parent, a friend, a friend of a friend, etc...

And, the Antagonist character's name will either be:

• Zola Barrett   La-Ron Malone
•  Tya Barrett   La-Ron Malone
• Viera Barrett  La-Ron Malone

But, when I look at each name as a pair with La-Ron Malone, Tya's name stands out better as an opposite opponent of La-Ron's.  Therefore, the Antagonist's name is Tya Barrett.

Okay! So, I want to begin discussing the background of the Protagonist character, but I need a name for him.  I googled: What is the sexiest letter of the alphabet? I found S or L are my two choices. Therefore, I choose the main character's name to be: La-Ron Malone.

Research: Online Media: So...I read this New York Times article on kissing: Critic’s Notebook: TV Kisses Lose Impact They Had in Sammy Davis Jr.’s Day:  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/11/arts/television/tv-kisses-lose-impact-they-had-in-sammy-davis-jrs-day.html?_r=1&smid=tw-nytimes&seid=auto and the critic had me thinking about the kissing action between the characters in my work in progress stage play Love Affair, so to be sure the kissing intensity will be strong, I googled: kissing images, then, observed and descriptively wrote down what I saw.  The objective is to intensify the kissing scenes or moments in my story.

Protagonist character description: African-American, male, brown-skinned, 6 ft, muscular body build, low tapped hair cut with waves, gold t facial hair, and wears a cross pendant on his necklace, no piercings or tattoos.  After researching baby boys names, I considered: Christopher, Sayon, or La-Ron. I may go with Sayon.

Antagonist character description: African-American, Female, age between 25 to 30 years, brown-skinned, slender, long straight black hair.  After doing research for African- American baby girls names, I have considered names: Zola, Viera, or Tya. I am not sure which name is best....

The setting of Love Affair: Present day: Sunday: early morning: warm weather: in a neighborhood of row houses and single family homes on the street, a multicultural community in the urban city of Queens, NY.

Love Affair (A short stage play in progress)
A woman's erotic obsessed affair turns deadly and regret.

Theme: Adultery.

Adultery: Sexual unfaithfulness in a marriage.-Webster Dictionary

Did you know when a woman cheats she is an adulterous?

What is the price a woman could pay when she cheats on her husband?

In my story Love Affair I explain.
