Chapter Twenty

Every Ex-girlfriend’s Nightmare

Chloe

Several months had passed and the second semester had started. Once we were finally getting adjusted into our courses, I was thrown a curve ball. Arriving home from school, I checked the mail. Two white envelopes, hand written. One to Roni and one for me. Two invitations. I swung with all I had and had struck out. Struck out of being the one to land a home run.

The cream colored envelopes sat on the coffee table taunting me as I sat on the couch with a glass of wine in my hand. I didn’t have to open them to know what they were and deep inside I knew who they were for. A hard shut of the front door snapped me out of my own thoughts.

"Wine already, really?" Roni looked at me with a smirk on her face. Then her eyes narrowed on my face and she sat down next to me, not caring that her clothes were covered in garage grime. "What’s wrong, Chloe?"

"Nothing," I shrugged. "I brought the mail in," I motioned to the table. Roni’s eyes moved to the table and I heard her sigh.

"Chloe, I know that you…"

I put my hand up as I swallowed a large gulp.

"Just stop," I pleaded with my eyes. "It’s stupid, really. We haven’t been together for forever now. Not that he bothered to resolve us first...!" I threw myself back on the couch with a large sigh. "Christ, why do I do that? I don’t want to be mad at him." I caught a glimpse of Roni eyeing me up. "Don’t look at me like that!"

"Look at you like what?" Roni tried to sound innocent.

"Look at who like what?" Came Mina’s voice as the door closed.

"Fuck," I mumbled.

Mina walked in completely confused. I sat up and watched Roni motion to the envelopes on the table.

"What are….oh my God!" Mina walked over and ripped open one of them. "How…when….why didn’t I know about this already?"

"Mina…" Roni hissed.

Mina’s eyes focused on me.

"Oh shit…right." She took a seat next to me.

"Will you both stop." I leaned forward and poured more wine into my glass. "I was just a little shocked by the…well, you know what they are." I sighed. "I’m happy for him, I really am, Mina. I just feel like I never, I mean ‘we’, never had any kind of closure."

Mina wrapped her arm around me.

"It’s okay. I understand. I’m sorry that I haven’t been there enough for you over all of this," she tossed the invitation on the table.

"So, when is the big day?" I rolled my eyes.

Mina grabbed the invite again and looked. "Says that it’s in two weeks."

My eyes widened and I almost spit wine out my nose. "They are getting married in two weeks?" I choked out.

"What? No!" Mina looked at me with shock and amusement. "It’s the engagement party, Chloe." She rolled her eyes. "Did you think that my mother, of all people, would not have an engagement party?"

"She’s right," Roni added as she picked up the bottle of wine and drank directly from it.
