December arrived and as the days passed that whole wedding disaster was vanishing from my memories however I and Blaze had a certain tense atmosphere between us and it was starting to be noticed by others.
"But what happened? Did you guys fight?" Miles questioned curiously.
"I guess something like it" I responded while eating my lunch in the cafeteria.
"You guys are so different since that freaking weeding... What happened?" Jen asked. It's a boomer to not being able to talk with them truthfully at this situations I could really use their backup... Well I can tell them half of it. I guess?
"Found out some stuff I wish I didn't" I said
"What? A ex-girlfriend or something? Those always get noticed at weddings" Miles told, I looked at him in a surprise expression and his mouth suddenly turned into a 'O' shape "No way" i look at him nodding "Who?" he asked curiously
I rolled my eyes just thinking about Sarah's face " Know that girl that would constantly send stuff?"
"The blondie?" Miles asked
"Wait! That high-pitched bimbo?" Jennifer asked stunned
"Yeah... That one"
"What the hell..." Miles commented shocked
"How can that woman end up in some moment of her life with Blaze?!" Jennifer said trying to find anything logical in what I just told them. I am glad I did told them, it wasn't everything, and it sure wasn't what I was mostly mad about but now I could share my anger about Sarah even if they didn't know everything.
"That bitch looks like she came out straight out of mean girls..." Miles said "she reminds me of Karen"
"I think she fits more into a Regina role" I said making them silently agree with me
"So how are you going to fix it? He is your husband" Jennifer questioned concerned
"Plus everybody in the office as clearly understood you guys are weird and people are asking if the Christmas party is still on" Miles notified me.
"People notice?" I asked surprised
"Hm hm girl" Miles hummed "It's not hard to see your bitchy face and people on the top department of your dear husband told me he has been more moody than usual and a but gloomy too"
"Really?" I was astonished, I can't believe our conversation had some impact on him. Although the environment back home as certainly changed, I don't eat breakfast with him although he waits in the table, I just grab my coffee and my sandwich and leave, I only see a glimpse of him every day. He never eats dinner with me and when I fall asleep I have no idea if he is there or not. We barely speak or tease one another like we used to, it's definitely unusual but I have been so focused on trying to avoid him that I never really noticed how he was. Still it's hard to believe that I could ever have some impact on that emotionless guy. "Maybe it's because of work" I blurred out trying to find a logical reason
My friends laughed " Yeah girl, right" Miles said ironically "you should flatter yourself The man itself Mr. Maxwell is sad because of you"
"Yeah I doubt that... It wasn't that bad" I said recalling our fight, if it can even be called a fight I was the one doing all the talk
"Well but you don't know men and how they think sometimes they overreact the small things and do the opposite with big ones" Miles explained
"How do you know that?" Jennifer asked laughing
"Girl, I might be a men but I do not think like a straight one. I just know them by far" he said looking at his long red nails.
"Well if he really is upset about our argument that's -- weird" I commented
