🥀In Loving Memory🥀

Chapter 39

"Sarah DuBois knew about you and Jazmine's affair?" Huey asked to be sure.

"Yes, she knew about our affair," James answered.

"How did that come to be?" Huey asked.

_______________________

I left Washington to go back to Woodcrest so I could go to a block party. Over the years I have made friends in the area due to visiting my good friend, William Charles.

After a while, he moved out of the area and moved to West Virginia. He's still working as a doctor but he got promoted to Medical Director. It's one of the highest positions you can obtain as a doctor, but you must have experience in the other departments.

I would do it but I don't think I'm ready for that kind of responsibility. You have to be fully committed to your job and your staff. Ms. Grace does something similar to what William does but she only has to manage one group and that seems stressful enough because she has to do a lot.

I might consider doing it when I get a little older. That's if I don't retire!

At the moment I was sitting at a table by myself eating while everybody else was either talking, dancing, or playing some childish games. I know I should get involved but I wasn't that into the party.

I took a sip of my water and started to fiddle around with my food.

"James!" I heard someone say as I looked up.

"Jazmine," I said taken back. I didn't expect to see her here. I thought she would either be at home or at the hospital this weekend.

"Oh my God, I did not expect to see you here this weekend," she said smiling as she took a seat at the table I was sitting at.

"Me either, I thought you would be at home," I said as she started to giggle.

"This is my home silly," she said.

"I know that, but I thought you would be at the one you're currently living at now," I said more specifically.

"Yeah, but I rather come down here with friends and family rather than sit at the house and do nothing," she said which made a lot of sense.

"I don't blame you, but you have friends down here?" I asked.

"Yeah, they all traveled from different states and took time off from college just for this weekend," she happily spoke.

"Oh, okay, so if they're all down here, then where is your boyfriend?" I asked out of curiosity.

"He had to work this weekend," she simply answered fiddling with her fingers.

"Did he volunteer or did he actually have to come in?" I asked.

"He had to work. I know he would have taken off and come down here to see our family and friends," she said a little sad.

"If he had to work then how did you get down here on your own?" I asked. I know for a fact she and her boyfriend share a car.

"He was nice enough to drive me here last night when he got off of work. I just wish he could have stayed," she explained. She started to mess around with a ring on her finger which took me by surprise.

Jazmine never wore rings!

She wore necklaces, earrings, and sometimes bracelets, but she never wore rings. She got into the habit of it because she would do a lot of hands-on stuff at our job and when we were having sex.
