AVERY
“Don’t miss that catch, don’t miss that catch! OH, COME ON!” I
hollered, hopping up from the side of the tub as I held my cell phone
in my hands. Never in my life did I witness such a heartbreaking
play. The football game was only in the first quarter, and for the life of me, I
couldn’t understand why the quarterback decided to throw the ball to Mr.
Butterfingers.
They were lucky the throw wasn’t intercepted like the one a few plays
back. My team was making way too many mistakes too early into the game.
A knock on the door startled me.
“Avery? Are you coming out?” my fiancé, Wesley, asked from the other
side of the door.
I glanced around the bathroom, slightly panicked, before shoving my
phone into my bra.
It was a no-technology event that evening at Wesley’s and my house,
which made no sense to me, seeing how it was freaking Super Bowl
Sunday. Who had no-tech nights during the Super Bowl?
That seemed like a good enough reason to call off an engagement.
Especially when the score was so close. It was anyone’s game, and I was
going to miss it. After the foreseeable breakup, Wesley and I would tell
people we had “irreconcilable differences” and go on our way.
The following year, I’d throw a Super Bowl party.
Okay, maybe breaking up over a game was a little far-fetched, but it
wasn’t every year that your favorite team played at the game of all games. It
would probably be another thirty years before we made it back to the Super
Bowl.
My dad was probably celebrating at his place with my sisters, Yara and
Willow, my brother-in-law, Alex, and our aunt-by-choice, Tatiana, who
helped raise me and my two sisters. Tatiana was our mother’s best friend,
and after Mama passed away, she stepped up to make sure we had a woman
figure in our lives.
Tatiana always made the best dang buffalo chicken dip for Daddy’s
Super Bowl parties.
A heavy sense of jealousy raced through me knowing Yara would eat all
that dip without me while Willow ate her vegan dip.
“You good?” Wesley asked.
“Yeah, yeah, sorry,” I called out. I smoothed my hands over my black
dress and combed my straight black hair behind my ears. I looked in the
mirror and saw Mama’s brown eyes staring back at me. I had so many of
her features, which felt equally like a blessing and a curse. From her round
nose and high cheekbones to her dark-brown skin and jet-black hair.
I took a deep breath and released it slowly, mentally preparing to
socialize with a group I didn’t know. I wasn’t the best at striking up a
conversation with strangers. Then again, I wasn’t really into striking up
conversations with people I knew either. The best types of human beings
were the ones who shut up. Or at least the ones who didn’t try to talk to me.
