What About Yout Friends

NYLA

On the last day in Toronto, Jenna and I had breakfast together. We went to a restaurant that I had looked up prior to arriving in Toronto called Evviva.

Jenna and I were sitting at the table - I was sipping my Mimosa - as she told me about the night before with Talia. She didn't go into much detail, just that Talia was asking when did King move his wedding band from his neck to his finger and why.

"When did he?" I looked at my drink and nodded my head in approval. "This mimosa is delicious. You want a sip?" I help my glass out towards her.

"No thanks," she shook her head. "King's birthday we put our rings on our fingers."

I placed my left hand to my chest as I smiled. "Awww!!!! You both did it the same day?!"

"He woke me up first thing in the morning and said that he didn't want to start another birthday without me as his wife and he wanted us to wear the symbol that we were together. So, we took the rings off our necks and put them on each other. He recited his vows to me again and I said mine," she shrugged her shoulders. "It was just the two of us in the bedroom, kneeling on the bed." She chuckled. "We are so corny!"

"Did he say them in Spanish? That man is a dick and I don't want him anymore, but girl... " I put my hand on the table as I shook my head. "Whenever he would start talking in Spanish I would become a complete mess. I'm sure he used to cuss me out in Spanish and I would just look up at him all doe-eyed like 'say it, again.'"

Jenna laughed. "This is weird, you know that, right?"

"Why? Girl, I used to tell you everything when I was with King! Shit, I even knew you two had a history and still told it all. I don't want him, you don't need to worry about that. He and I grew apart a long time ago," I looked at my glass for a moment as I thought back on my time with King. "Besides, being your friend is much more important than being with him."

"It's still weird," Jenna replied. "But... yes, he said them in Spanish, just like he did when we got married. If we make it through this year, then next year we're going to have a vow renewal with friends and family."

"You should invite Side Bitch so I can watch her heart break," I smiled.

"That's not nice," I shook my head.

"It wasn't nice of her to jump on my man's dick and ride it for eight months."

Jenna's eyes widened as she looked at me for a few seconds. She shook her head and looked around. "Where is the server with our food?"

I looked over and saw our waitress heading our way with a tray of food. "It looks like she's coming now. But, you should invite her. Let her see King standing in front of you with that look of love and lust that he always has when you're near. She needs to hear him say his vows to you. All those sexy-sounding Spanish words that he will never say to her. She needs to see the fire and passion in his eyes when he calls you 'Mi Corazon' and realize that each time he said it to her was like an American learning Spanish in high school."

"You shouldn't take so much pride in her misery."

"She shouldn't have taken so much..."

"HI!" Jenna kicked me under the table as she looked up at the waitress.

"Hello," the waitress smiled as she placed our food in front of us. She made sure that we had everything before excusing herself and walking away.

"Why'd you kick me?" I rubbed my shin.

"Because I know what you were going to say."

"No, you don't."

Jenna just looked at me.
