Jazmine sat miserably on her new apartment floor, and watched the snowflakes flutter through her window pane. Her Christmas tree shone brightly through the nice living room. Her red pumps lay abandoned on the kitchen floor. As she sat next to them crying her mascara streaking her cheeks. Her elegant bun earlier had come undone and her hair lay draped on her shoulders of her beautiful red ballroom grown. "Why Huey why," she moaned as she cried some more clutching a wine glass half empty with champagne.
Her nose was runny and red as she wiped her face smearing her mascara filled tears more on her cheeks as she sobbed intently she couldn't get that damn image out her head how could he, she loved him, gave him her all her all, and this is how he repaid her as she replayed the last image she seen in her head that brought her to this place.
Flashback:
Jazmine stood beaming at Cindy's and Riley Christmas engagement party it was truly tastefully done there was Christmas trees all over the house Christmas decorations litter everywhere, making the place look like a Christmas paradise that Santa himself would want to attend. With Riley new business as a professional, artist, he was making big time money and a name for himself as he stood beaming himself with a beautiful Cindy by his side, glowing with a gorgeous dark forest green glittery dress on that barely hid her small baby bump her engagement ring sparkled all around the room. Of course Riley would get Cindy the biggest rock he could find Jazmine thought amused admiring the ring.
Cindy glanced in her direction and smiled and whisper something to Riley, who glance in her direction too, he smiled and waved at her and nodded to what Cindy was saying. Jazmine smiled and waved back at him. As Cindy was now approaching her "jazzy" she cried happily grabbing Jazmine in a huge hug. Jazmine giggled "Cindy" she cried back. "Omg you look freaking beautiful I'm so happy you're here I missed the hell out of you," Cindy said happily tears of happiness shining in her eyes.
"so do you I can't believe you're getting married and having a kid Cindy you look so beautiful too I'm so happy for you I'm sorry I've been so caught up with work and everything the hospital keeps me busy 24/7 but god I've missed you too" Jazmine said with tears of happiness in her own. "I understand, but I wish you were living down here, it's gonna be so dull planning the wedding and baby shower without my bestie" Cindy said glumly. Giving her a small perfect pout. Jazmine laughed, she was waiting to tell Cindy the big news that she had relocated to the Woodcrest memorial hospital now and had gotten a new apartment so she figure she might as well tell her the good news it would be a good small early Christmas present.
"Well, I was waiting to tell you, but I figure I should tell you now" Jazmine said smiling "what" Cindy said her blue eyes widening. "You won't have to worry about me living in Boston anymore, I hated it up there so I'm officially back in Baltimore and have a new apartment now" Jazmine said bouncing up and down. "Omg!" Cindy yelled excitedly causing some guests nearby to jump. Jazmine giggled as Cindy gave her another giant hug. "Ahem" as they stop hugging to see a smiling rayonna standing looking at them. "rayonna" Jazmine said happily grabbing the girl in a hug. Rayonna laughed, hugging her back. "Good to see you too jazzy about time you up and left that uppity upstate and came back where you belong" the girl said smirking. Jazmine rolled her eyes and laughed rayonna was still the same as ever who would have known they would have ended up friends the way they were beefing in high school but funny how things work out.
"Yeah, I figured being here was much better how are you" Jazmine said, smiling, taking in the girl rayonna looked great in a simple red strapless dress her naturally curly locks flowed effortlessly on her shoulders. "You look amazing" I see," Jazmine said complimenting her. "Thanks you too Dubois so where is your lover Huey?" rayonna said, smiling.
Jazmine blushed "he's supposed to be here the last time I talked to him I haven't even had a chance to see him yet" Jazmine said honestly. Her and Huey's relationship had been through a lot lately they had broken up after college when she decided to move to Boston, but then gotten back together after they realize they couldn't be without each other the love was too deep after a couple of months they engaged in a long distance relationship. That included a lot of phone calls facetiming video messaging and weekend trips. But the connection between them was stronger than ever plus she hadn't told him that she moved back yet she was hoping to surprise him.
"So he doesn't know you're here" rayonna said, raising his eyebrows "no he just knows that I was coming to the party but he doesn't know that I'm here to stay for good" Jazmine said shaking her head. "Aw, how sweet, but you know cold ass freeman don't like surprises" Cindy said as both she and rayonna laughed. "Yeah, I know, but I have a feeling he will like this one" Jazmine said smiling. "Well he better hurry his ass up being late to my party and shit" Cindy said frowning.
Jazmine giggled she knew Huey he was probably purposely coming late cause she knew he hated parties and crowds being a party animal was not in his nature. 'He'll be here soon" Jazmine said "I'm going to get something to drink." She said both Cindy and rayonna nodded as she walked to the refreshment table. And poured herself a cup of punch as she was about to take a sip. Timmy walked up looking handsome as ever. "Timmy" she said, looking surprised she wasn't expecting him to be here. "Jazmine" he said, sounding just as surprise. "What are you doing here?" They both exclaimed.
"Well, I'm here with my girlfriend" Timmy said sheepishly rubbing his blonde hair. "Oh, that's wonderful," Jazmine said, smiling, she was happy for him their relationship ended up on bad terms and they haven't spoken or seen in each other in a long time. So it was good to see he had moved on and let whatever bad juice they had between them. "Yeah, what about you"? "Well, I'm here for Cindy of course and I'm moving back to be closer to my parents, friends and Huey of course" Jazmine said shyly. "That's great, I'm happy to hear that maybe we'll both catch up sometime" Timmy said sincerely smiling. "Yeah, I would like that" Jazmine said, holding out her hand. Smiling too. "Well, see you around Jazmine" he said walking away. Once he left Jazmine grabbed her cup and decided to get some air. She grabbed her white jacket and stepped outside the air was cold as ever and the snow practically litter the street. While people Christmas lights and trees made the neighborhood glow with colors.
As she took another sip she noticed a black Camaro isn't that his car she wondered as she stepped down a Cindy front step too look closer. She also noticed two figures standing behind the car. It was Huey how could she missed that afro of his he looked extremely handsome in a black suit and gray jacket with a blue scarf. She also noticed that he was standing with a very beautiful Chinese girl. She had her black hair swooped up in a tight bun and was wearing a white dress and a dark green jacket. The two were very close to each other in Jazmine's opinion. "What the hell was going on here? She thought narrowing her eyes and that's when she saw the woman kiss Huey. Jazmine turned her head, her eyes flooding with tears.
How could he she came back for him move back for him and he was out here cheating on her with another woman the bastard she thought crying openly now as she ran back up the steps to Cindy and Riley's house and burst in their living room she was so upset she didn't even see that her bump right into Riley. "Damn mariah you could spill this henny on my good shit" he exclaimed angrily, but his tone change from angry to concern when he saw her face. "Who did it, " he said ready to fight ready to go into brother mood.
"Your brother is out here cheating on me and I can't stay here after what I just saw" Jazmine said, sobbing hard not caring if her makeup was getting ruined. "Huh, what" Riley said, looking confused but Jazmine didn't stay to answer she needed to get away as she grabbed her purse she left on the table and ran back outside to her car still crying. She was upset that she didn't hear Cindy, Riley or even Huey calling her name as she drove away.
Jazmine sat still crying as she remember the flashback she noticed her phone buzzing huey's name it was plastered all over the screen. She stared at it with a mixture of hurt and anger on her face; he could kiss her ass she had nothing to say to him the nerve of him to cheat on her and for her to find out right before Christmas.
As she got up and opened a bottle of red wine, she got from her co-worker and poured her glass and gulped it down drawing her sorrows.
