The life of two

Beverly

We sat quiet for a while, just holding hands. We heard someone shouting.

"Noah?! Is that you?"

I saw a figure on another boat but this one was red instead of white. As the boat came closer I realized the person was a girl.

"I knew it was! Your mom told me you'd be coming. Trying to set us up again."

"Hi, Beverly." Noah smiled.

I cleared my throat. "Sorry. This is Beverly, my uhm.."

"I'm his ex." She smiled.

"Oh...."

Beverly was long, skinny and blonde. She was tanned. Basically she looked good. They sat talking and then she had to leave for dinner with her friends.

Before leaving she leaned over and kissed his cheek.

Even though it was just his cheek if felt jealous. "So, why would your mother...?"

"We were together before and I might had asked her to marry me."

"Wait, what?!"

"Yeah, we were engaged and we thought about getting married after we'd graduated.

"Don't you think that was something you could had told me?"

"I didn't know if you'd care about it."
