Life

It's still raining huh?.... I cant remember it raining so hard earlier, lucky everything will be indoors I guess.

No I don't think its ever rained this hard before... yes lucky everything is indoors.

I will just go and see what Jonny is upto.

Sure, thank you ...

I cant remember his name, was he from my side of the family or Peter's.

You are welcome Jenny... I will be back in a jiffy... Its Hank by the way ... we met at the Christmas party last year.

Oh yes, I am sorry, my mind has been a bit fuzzy.

No problem dear... I completely understand.

The Christmas party, why cant I remember him...

Jenny you want something to drink or eat... the ceremony doesn't start until an hour.

Thanks aunty Helen, I am fine.

Its raining so hard.... hope it stops.

Yeah...

why cant I remember him, the Christmas party, ... this rain when will it stop.... Peter hates the rain... he loves the sunshine... the beach...he hates the dampness.... he hates it. I use to love cloudy days, the dampness of the rain.... I would love the strong breeze... the thunder in the clouds... as if some massive war was raging above us... it seemed as if so much was going on... but Peter loved sunshine, clear days.... among the both of us he was sunshine... I don't know what I was... I bring so little to the relationship... while Pete would fill the room... like a cool breeze on a hot summer's afternoon...

Jenny the caterers would be late... the weather is holding them up, but don't worry I think the guest will be late also... also father Carmel will be here in an hour.

Thanks aunty Helen.

No worries dear... let me know if you need anything. Kara is here.

Who invited her... Who invited her... how can she come.... how dare she. I cant believe I fought with Peter over her...he kept saying...

There is nothing going on Jenny... we just work together...that's all... why are you acting like this.

How can she come...

Hi, Jenny how are you... I just wanted ...

Please excuse me Kara.

Sure Sure... Jenny

How can she come.... but she doesn't know... Peter kept saying nothing was going on.... but I remember I remember that touch...the way she put her hand on his hand.... I remember seeing it in slow motion... when we bumped into her at the market. I felt like I could see each second pass, my mind was trying to stop her hand with my gaze. The way she nudged him. Who talks like that o a colleague.

Jenny darling you are over reacting, I am telling you she is just a colleague, she does that with everyone... that is just a part of her personality.... darling ...jenny

Jenny, Jenny dear... Peter's mother is here... Jenny?

Oh yes aunty Helen... where is s... oh hello Mrs adams. would you like anything to drink... the priest will take an hour.

No no dear, I wanted to see how are you holding up... you sure you don't need any help with anything... I wanted to talk to u before the it started....I want you to have this... Peter was angry at me for not giving this to you...

What is it?

My wedding ring... you have to forgive me dear... I didn't know you well... I thought he was making a mistake... I didn't know how he felt about you... I didn't know...

Thank you... but I cant keep it

No you have to... Peter is all I ... you have to accept... please... for an old fool's sake.

Thank you... you like something to drink... or please sit down. You look tired.

No its fine... no its fine...I just felt you two were moving too soon... you had just met... you have to see it from my view...you had just met...

Come on Marry let the girl be....

Let me know if you need anything Jenny...

Yes Mr Adams... thank you.

She is right we did meet and move too soon. He just saw me across the room... I dint know his name nothing... I was new to the city... he was just standing across the room... against the brick wall... I could still see his golden curls against the red bricks... his blue check shirt... his eyes... green... all the colours just didn't match... he stood out against that red brick wall... he just saw me right across the room... he started to walk towards me... I knew he was... I knew he was not going to anyone else... I walked a few steps back... thought of polite ways to flee... by the time I turned my head... I ... he was just there right in front his green eyes looking straight... like a cool breeze... he seem to have no doubt that he was welcome... he never had that doubt... where ever he went, he always thought he was welcomed... he that that blond in your face look... you couldn't miss him...

So you are new here, aren't you ?

Yes, yes I am not..  I DONT THINK I know you...

Yeah don't worry I am working on that ...

Oh god that annoying smile and wink... he didn't even know me.. he just cant wink at me....
