It was spring, the air was fresh with morning dew, birds chirping and trees blossoming. It rained a little the previous night leaving most of the surfaces still wet.
"Babe I'm going for a run, wakey wakey" i shaken my husband a little in an attempt to wake him up.
"Ok hon, enjoy" he murmured sleepishly. I put my sneakers on and did a few warm ups on the porch.It's been two weeks since I received the invitation to our reunion, I have not yet replied whether I'm attending or not and also have not inform my husband about the event.
I took off and kept a slow pace, though a little short of breath, I started talking to myself "Ok Jaz, it's just a reunion, seeing all your classmates again, doing some catching up, it'll be fun, why are you freaking out woman?" "Well I don't know, probably because He might be there?" I end up answering myself.
"Oh my God, get a grip of yourself Jasmine Connely, you're even answering yourself now!!"I was no longer Durandt, but Connely.
According to the invite the reunion was about 6 months away and partners was welcome. That came as a huge relief to me, the though of pitching up there and find him with a wife or something suddenly made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, I decided to tell my husband.
I finished my run and went home.
*********************
My mind was made up, I'm attending that reunion come rain or shine!! I confirmed my attendance with partner, told my husband, who was all to happy to accompany me and started looking for a beautiful dress to wear.
It's been five months down the line; I found a beautiful black number, short, but not too much, figure hugging with a sexy kind of shoulder cleavage. It looked great on me!!
Well, I kept myself in shape over the years, and I was suddenly very happy I did, "you wouldn't want to pitch up after so many years looking like a doughnut now, would you!🍩🍩"Everything was well planned, both Matty and myself was very excited, that sudden fear of seeing Jonah with a wife or something slowly vanished, until my husband came back home one evening and dropped a bomb on me!!!!!
"Jasmine hon I'm sorry, but I won't be able to accompany you to you're reunion, the client I told you about is coming and we have to meet with him that same evening, I'm so sorry"
"OMG"
