Sunday
Present Day
“Sunday, c’mon, you gotta come with us tonight!” Bria pleads. “You
haven’t really been out since you’ve been home. Cut loose a little.”
I look at my oldest friend and smile. “You know that’s not fair. I’ve
spent most of the past two years having surgeries, and doing the recovery
rehab work. Makes it hard to go out when your ass is covered in a
protective bandage, and you’re wearing those ‘lovely’ compression
garments. Besides, who the hell is going to want a freak like me? Even with
all the surgeries, my left ass cheek, and thigh are horrible looking.”
“The right guy isn’t going to give a fuck,” Bria states. “Jonas was a
pussy.”
Bria’s comment has me laughing out loud. “Oh my God. Tell me how
you really feel,” I tease, the laughter evident in my tone.
“Well, he was! I mean, let’s get honest for a second, okay? If you had
married him and stayed the course, eventually, shit would have started
sagging and wrinkles would have formed. And if you had kids, you’d have
that pooch thing going on with stretch marks, too.
You might have gained
weight or hell, I don’t know, lost a limb due to some obscure thing. He
obviously didn’t have what it takes for the long haul, honey. I look at
pictures of my grandparents when they got married, and they were both
skinny and young. Now, my grandma is short and round, but my grandpa?
He still worships the ground she walks on. He sees her inside, not the
outside that doesn’t stay firm and youthful.”
“Fine, I’ll go, but only because it’ll get you off my ass.”
“We’re gonna have a blast and you know it,” Bria cheers, going to my
closet. Thirty minutes later, I’m decked out in skinny jeans, an emerald
green silky tank top, and my tan boots. Bria corralled my hair into a French
braid, and I had applied a light coat of makeup. “Alright, you’re good to go,
let’s blow this popsicle stand,” Bria advises. “If you get any prettier, I won’t
have a shot at catching myself a man.”
“Whatever. You know you get your fair share of guys.”
“Not when you’re around, I don’t,” Bria retorts as we close and lock the
doors, then head down to my car.
“Where are we going, anyhow?” I ask once we’re in the car, and
buckled up.
“Ike’s.”
Shit, I like Ike’s, but sometimes, Jonas is there, and the last thing I want
is to run into him. He married someone I knew from school, and now, lived
in the same fucking town. If it weren’t for the fact I own my home outright,
and my parents lived in the same town as well, I would have packed up and
moved.
“What if… fuck… what if he’s there tonight?” I ask my friend.
“You ignore him, just like the other thousand times you’ve seen him
around town.”
“It’s just that any time I do see him, it brings all of that pain back to the
forefront.”
