Jamie laughed and started to walk away. ‘Oh and one more thing Ramone, don’t think that she’s going to be your girlfriend anytime soon because y...u might be her best friend but she knows better than to mix with the likes of you,’ Jamie snarled. Ramone was dumbfounded. It was the first time he’d experienced prejudice and didn’t know how to react. ‘What did he mean about her being my girlfriend?’ he thought. Anna sat excitedly as each present was brought to her. She unwrapped them happily,. All-consuming pain. That was all Alie could feel as she opened her eyes. Her whole body hurt and she was so overcome by it that she couldn't even make more noise than a whimper. She then began coughing violently as she realized there was a heaviness in her chest.It took several minutes before she collected herself and realized her surroundings were unfamiliar. Then she felt something ... NO ... someONE pressing up against her back, including an insistent poking at her behind. She couldn't. “Yep, I’ll give you a call soon after getting home or sometime in the morning, depending.”Pause... “Ok, talk to you soon.”He put the phone away and took my hand, giving it a squeeze and smiling at me briefly before watching the road. The next ten minute drive home seemed to drag on.We finally pull through the gate and up the long circle drive, then parked near the steps to the front door. We walk up the steps, and just as we approach the door opens. Heather, our housekeeper stepped to the side. My second marriage lasted exactly thirteen years. The divorce was granted by the court on our wedding anniversary. (The odds are 364:1 and considering 365 random things probably happen each day, it's not as unlikely as you might think.) There were a few days of good marriage, followed by twelve years of hell. For the last few years we slept in separate rooms and lived separate lives. I finally swallowed my pride/shame and admitted defeat. I left the marriage because it was the only sane thing.
