This one made me a little depressed actually...I hate the feeling myself. :(

J for Jealousy

Jennifer Shepard was not a woman of envy. In fact, she seldom ever really felt the emotion. She wasn't a materialistic person, Jenny never had been. As a child her father had taught her to be grateful for what you had, and she had carried on with that lesson even into her adulthood. Jenny had a nice house that her father had left her, and a relatively good paying job, so money wasn't a problem.

For only times when she battled the feelings of envy were when she would see a couple playing with their toddler at the park. When she saw a mother running with a stroller. A family, is what Jenny longed for, even though she knew her time for settling down was far past its mark.

That was, until she saw the man she loved with another woman.

She expected him to move on, of course. He had married two times after she had ended their relationship as proof. But this was different. Far, far more different. The secret smiles she saw them share. The closeness they had that was far too intimate for her to bare. It made her feel hollow and empty inside. For the first time in her adult life she felt truly alone and just the thought of it made her want to cry.

But of course, she would not let anyone see this. No, she would keep her professional facade on at all times, regardless of this feeling. And especially in their presence.

Jenny wanted to stop it, she really did. She wanted to walk up to him, heels and all, and tell him how she felt about him, a cliche as it sounded.

How she loved him. Always had, always will.

But then, every time she got her nerve up, she remembered what she had done to him.

How she had left him. How she had chosen the job over the love.

The thoughts broke her even more.

So Jennifer Shepard sat at her desk, a glass of Bourbon in hand, and liquid pooled in her emerald orbs. All behind the locked doors of her office. Her only wish that this woman would be gone soon.

Yes, Jennifer Shepard was jealous. Jealous of one woman, by the name of Hollis Mann.
