"and where are you going?" I grinned as I looked at Austin. "To see my work husband" "is that right?" "Yeah I am serious. Want to come?" "You are joking?" "Nah. Meeting at the pub. Come on, I want to meet Sam" Austin chuckled "alright, let's go meet your work husband" I grinned "when was this decided?" "Well two weeks ago I asked him if he is local. He said to keep his number. We might have another drinking buddy" Austin showed a handsome grin "can't take you anywhere" "nah cos I'm already taking myself" Austin laughed "not what I meant" "I know".

Arriving at the pub, Austin and I walked inside "wait do you even know who you are looking for?" I looked around as a man sat with two beers in front of him. "My bet it's him" "WORK HUSBAND" when the men turned, he chuckled "you are definitely jadee. Your partner?" "My fiance. Austin meet Sam. Good to meet ya in person" "you too. I'm curious to know how you put up with her Austin" "yeah Austin" "that calls for beers" Sam and I laughed "how's your week been Sam?" "Same old shit on my end. Nothing changes" "boring" "can be. But brings the money in" "that's true. I may only be there for a few more months" "nuh. At least work there on Mondays" Austin chuckled "the only day she likes" "not Marilyn" "that's the woman who annoys you?" "Yep" "I bet it's Marilyn woodvoke" "know her huh?" "Argh I wish I didn't. That's my ex wife" "well shit. What did she do?" "What she does now. I had enough and left" "don't blame you. I only deal with her for ten long ass minutes" Sam and Austin laughed. "You have been at the company awhile right?" "Since November last year" "fresh out of school?" "Yes. Not the job I wanted to do though" "what did you want to do?" "I plan to be a horticulturist" Sam and Austin grinned "that's why you want to leave?" "Yep. I don't care what dad says" "dad.. oh that's right your father is Peter. It got around that he was charged with assault and your mom was charged with possession of drugs. Both true?" "Both true. The assault was on jadee" Sam's eyes went wide "and the drugs were meant for jadee to but she's not stupid. She tried multiple times to drug jadee so jadee and her soon to be ex husband have kids" "whoa. Explain that?" "Fresh out of school. Forced into the job and marriage. We are friends but nothing eventuated from there. Austin and I were just waiting for the day Matthew said he wanted a divorce as I wasn't able to file for one. The day finally came. Matthew and I removed our rings and Austin put this one on" Sam grinned "didn't even get a chance to be single and mingle" "I have been seeing austin for fourteen extremely loooonng months" "hey" "not you" Sam and Austin laughed.
"Uncle Sam?" Turning around I smirked "this is your uncle?" "You two know each other" "how have you put up with Bosco. Annoying sack of shit" "shut up jadee. Give me a hug" I chuckled as I gave Bosco a hug. "oh you are that jadee" "that jadee? What shit have you had come from your mouth" the guys laughed "well your uncle is my work husband" Bosco chuckled "you have been chatting up my uncle unbelievable" "only on Mondays" the guys laughed "thought I'd finally meet the man that has been keeping me entertained every week" "don't lie. You knew from the start. you just wanted to keep me in the family" "be nice to your aunty" the guys cracked up Laughing. "joining us Bosco?" "Yep yep. So just here for a few beers?" "We sure are" "fair. Good to see you Austin" "yeah you too man. Work been alright?" "Yeah not bad" "Austin loves his. He gets chatted up by Karly" Bosco smirked "oh good luck to her" I chuckled. "You don't even sound worried?" "Jadee would smash the fuck out of her, uncle. There's no doubt about it" "can hold your own?" "I do my best but she sounds shit" "she is". Hearing my phone, I looked at who is calling. "Mel.." "where the hell are you?. Shit, I want a drinking partner" I chuckled "at the pub with Sam, Bosco and Austin" "yep. Bye" I chuckled "bye." 'i guess she is coming down'
"Mel?" "Matthews girlfriend. She said she wants a drinking partner" "this shit is strange as hell" "try being in the house" "well you could.." "no. I'm staying" "complain then don't.. shit" I chuckled "he doesn't want to leave me there with my ex. You know how tempting that shit is" the guys laughed "yeah I can imagine". "Is this the way she always is?" "Me? Nah.." "you are so full of shit" "nah when people piss me off, im the total opposite" "don't I know it" "been on her bad side Bosco?" "Nah been there beside her when someone crossed her. Should've seen her at school. Sarah got right in her face at lunch time. Jadee was smart about it though. Playing hockey in the last two periods, jadee accidentally missed the puck and cut Sarah's chin open" Austins eyes went wide "you are joking?" "Nah fuck that hoe. Serves her right for hitting me. She got suspended where all I got was told to put the hockey stick down. The game is over" the guys laughed "calculated that's what that is.." "OI JUST LEAVING ME ALONE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE ME ALONE. I CANT BE TRUSTED. I NEED GUIDANCE.." "grab a drink then" "now that's the guidance I need" all of us laughed. "is this Mel?" "Yeah I am. Are you friends with miss up herself?" "Monica?" "Yep" "pfft no. Stupid bitch. I'm Bosco and this is my uncle Sam. Her work husband" "oh look at you go. Husband and fiance.." "and soon to be ex husband" all of us turned to see Matthew "well shit. Lucky me" everyone laughed "that was quick" "I was only around the corner" "well.." "not even worth dropping your pants for Mel" "he can pick up his shit later. For now I'm going to get us both a beer so our throats aren't dry". "Who are you?" "Bosco" "oh that's right, one of jadees good friends. And you?" "I'm her work husband supposedly" "Sam right?" Everyone laughed "she spoke of me hmm?" "Every Sunday and Monday" I laughed as Sam did "Sundays are usually, I get to speak to my work husband tomorrow. Then Monday it's I got to speak to my work husband then the bitch ruined my day" everyone cracked up laughing. "Sounds about right" "know the woman?" "It's my ex wife. She ruined my days too" I chuckled.
'fuck. I have to call Britney' walking away, I grabbed my phone out and dialled britneys number. "Hey jadee" "hey sorry I was meeting with someone. Is everything sorted?" "I'm freaking out. What if something goes wrong?. What if.." "just relax. Everything will go to plan" "have you not seen the weather report for tomorrow? It's supposed to rain" I internally grinned "well they say if it rains on your wedding day, it's meant to last forever" "argh.." I chuckled "It will be perfect Britney. Rain, hail or shine. It's yours and Dean's day. What matters is that you are both there" "that's not it. One of the car companies pulled out. What the hell do we do?" I internally grinned "AUSTIN" Austin looked my way with concern "what's wrong?" "Can you drive tomorrow?" Austin grinned "yeah I can" "look austins car is loud and causes attention. Whose car isnt coming?" "Mine" "well rebel. Guess what?" Austin and Britney laughed "I can drive her in. It's fine" I grinned "you are my chauffeur too. Lucky me" "tell him I said I really appreciate it. That's a relief" "she said thanks" Austin grinned "it's fine" "I heard" "is there any other things you are worried about?" "Yeah the rain" "take it with a grain of salt. Just relax. It's supposed to be your day. Stressing only causes stress lines" Britney let a small laugh slip "okay I will stop stressing. When will you be getting here?" "Ten like I said" "okay.." Britney took a deep breath and I chuckled "you know what you need to do?" "Tell me?" "Take your stress out in bed" "JADEE" Austin and I laughed "have a good evening Britney" "thanks jadee. Bye" "bye."
"Is that the way we get out our stress?" "I don't need an excuse. But we should go join them again" "definitely".

"Everything alright?" "Sorry had to call my sister. It's her wedding tomorrow" "weddings all around" "what?" I Internally grinned "geez I knew before your own mate" "what have I missed?" "Well you know how it's all worked out" "yep" "well Austin put the ring he bought me on my left hand" "well shit".
