Page 3 of 5 I secretly managed a little sigh of relief. Monica didn’t mention any “other woman”.
Not that she should; but knowing Jamey’s big brother Dennis - and the way he loves to make hook ups between OG’s (Old Guys)his age and younger women?
I wouldn’t have been too surprised if a sweet little twenty-something wasn’t strewn around somewhere in that wreckage.
Jamey was a quiet guy, a nice guy really. But like I always say – Beware of the ‘nice guy.’ Jamey always managed to get into trouble when it came to his big brother Dennis. Matter of fact, that was the problem; Dennis was the leader and Jamey was the follower.
All this “younger woman” craziness started when Cora, Dennis’ wife, passed away a couple of years ago. My Aunt Snooky, who happens to also be Dennis’ newsy neighbor, swore he even had a couple of “hot young things” in the house a week after poor Cora’s funeral. Bastard!
Monica finally took a breath. I waited.
“Jamey told me all about you and him. He said that you’re the one that got away.”
(GASP) Alright, I had ENOUGH.
“Monica, where is that Negro?”
“Who?”
“Your Husband. Your Man. Mr. I-don’t-remember-my-wife but I can’t forget the Love-I-Lost.”
