"So the word is You've been back in town for months now but not once have you contacted your old pal to let him know you were back" I heard the familiar voice of an old friend I once knew 5 years ago I snorted though at the reference he made of himself

"Hasn't anybody told you yet? Nobody says pal anymore buddy" was my response

"you're kidding me?"

I laughed as I turned around and was met face to face with my old friend a guy I went all the way back with to elementary school we lost contact with each other pretty much during the time I started seeing Stacy we had disagreements mostly about Stacy he never liked her from the beginning and thought I had the potential to do so much better than what I had settled with at the time and this then resulted in Stacy and jeff constantly bickering all the time which then led to jeff not being able to take it anymore he basically asked me to choose between him and Stacy and what can I say at the time I chose love

Ask me if I'd choose the same or different again. I wouldn't be able to answer that question. at the time I was smitten with Stacey so that'd be pretty hard for me to ponder off on but who knows now maybe running into jeff was a chance for the both of us to reconcile "how've you been man what are you up to these days how's your.............wife" I didn't miss the way jeff had said the word wife in the way he did but I chose to ignore it not wanting to get too much into it with him

"I've been good and I'm not really up to much these days but running the company alongside heath and as of wife im a newly separated man" I let him know with a shrug I didn't bother getting into details due to me not wanting to hear the end of it from jeff like how he'd told me so how he was right and I should have listened when I had the chance I he didn't look at my marriage to Stacey as a mistake actually I looked at it as a life lesson really in the begging during Stacey and I honeymoon stage I loved her I really did I would have given her the moon if it meant that it was me being the one responsible for keeping a smile on her face every day

But during the course of our marriage, Stacy changed and it wasn't in a good way she began to get money hungry and obsessed I didn't mind Stacey spending my money as she wished what was mine was hers and what was hers was mine I mean the woman and I were happily married at least for a while but then the heavy drinking and smoking began than there were the parties a man could only handle so much until he told himself it was time to put his foot down that time for me came when my baby had been aborted without my knowledge

Stacey and I haven't really talked about ever having children but then by then it was already too late to bring up the conversation  man do I wish we did have the conversation though it would have saved the both of us a lot of heartbreak well I know me for sure it would have

"Oh yeah what happened?" jeff asked with an already knowing smirk

Fucking smug bastard the hell if I was about to tell him anything essential to the demise of Stacey and I marriage so then what he could rub it into my face yeah right I think not
