for the past 4 days she has been having the same routine, wake up,prepare kids, take them to school, jog, take away, watch TV, make tiktoks, pick kids, watch TV, write letters to daddy with kids, sleep.
But today, as she was getting take away, the woman who smiled at her the time she had a weird moment was approaching her.
"Hey,I'm Jessica Rule buh you can call me Jes" She said stretching out her hand for a handshake.in Aurelia's head she was like,'What does she want from me. People just let me be. is it too difficult a request?'
but out of being nice she replied,"Oh hi, Aurelia."
"Aurelia nice to meet you I've been seeing you come to this place for some days,thanks for supporting us BTW but this ain't a good eating habit."
in her head,'the nerve she's now lecturing me about my eating habits bitch step aside.' But she said,"You own this place."
with a big bright proud smile Jes said,"yeah i do and thanks to people like y'all we're making dough."
now Aurelia was tired of this woman she said,"Wow, good for you that people like me are there." walking away.
Jes thinking she had said something wrong caught up to her and apologized,"i didn't mean it like that."
El without sparing her a look was like, "okay if you say so."
But Jess went on, "Since that is cleared do you mind hanging out later with the moms here with having a bake sale."
"Aight see you then." Then she jogged away and Jes shouted, "it's at 3pm"
as if she cared she didn't want to be at some mom meeting doing mom projects but since she barely does anything with her life she'll take it into consideration.
She decided to go on with her schedule and since it ended early today she set the alarm for 3pm and lay down to take a quick nap. Maybe here she'll get dreams of a life she requires and wishes for.
On listening to her wish, the jinx decided to just give her the opposite.
'there she was with her kids enjoying her life without a care in the world because she knew her husband was coming back the next week. She then got the worst call of her life and just like that the scene changed to her dressed clad in black surrounded by other soldiers taking a salute for their comrade who'd died a 'hero' she was sulking in someone's embrace and on looking at the picture on the coffin it wasn't her husband it was some other guy. Her husband was part of the saluting soldiers. She tried to break free from this perfectly strong embrace and run to her Jason who was walking away with their kids. "Jason" she screamed,"wait for me Jas_'She woke up panting. Damn this dream was too crazy and man who was that strong guy who was holding me so tight. Anyway, she came to a conclusion short afternoon naps are clearly not her thing so she'll never make that mistake again. That's a children only thing now. Looking at the time, it had just clocked 2pm so she decided to just have a one hour soak then go for that funny thing waiting on her. She went ahead filled the bath with all kinds of scents and oils she owned and in she went.
"ha, oh no you didn't" One of the moms, said after a long laugh at whatever one of the moms had said. Aurelia still didn't feel comfortable around them. She has always had this problem automatically connecting with so most of her friends are from childhood, her relatives and her husband's siblings and parents. yes it's limited like that so fitting into these women is gonna take some getting used to and a lot of trust building. She came to a conclusion she has trust issues. Even dating Jason took a lot of work from his side. Because they knew each other from high school, luckily they ended up in the same college and that's when he started hitting on her. She wouldn't have accepted if it wasn't for Sandra feeding her some bullshit and calling it the talk. They started dating in his last year of college but it was her 2nd year. it really took some good time like why would anyone be that patient with anyone for like two full years. Crazy ass nigga! She smiled at herself subconsciously. "Girl what you smiling at." one of the moms called Jade she thinks asked. Fighting the urge to say none of your business, she said,"Just some funny memory came up couldn't help but smile."
"Is it bout your man. You know i used to get and still get those even after his passing" Finally feeling a little guilt, she can never imagine losing Jason just yet. "I'm sorry to hear that about him i think he was sweet if you still think about him till now."
letting out an unexpected laugh, Jade said,"naah girl that guy was an ungrateful son of a bitch that i just tolerated but we still had our moments. Though i prefer him in the ground where he is now i feel bad for all the kids he's supposed to be a father to. Nigga cheated on me like several times and died in a road accident with one of his whores. Good riddance i got some guy who appreciates me though it doesn't stop me from remembering my ex he had some good sex don't you agree Yvonne."
Yvonne just ignored her. Jessica intervened and said," Jade we've talked about this, she didn't know he was yours when they were in bed." Seems the guy had just died recently given Yvonne's sad expression as she caresses her bump. Wow the guy was such a whore and he found himself a Jade. crazzzzyyyy....
After the bake sale which was a success the moms decided to go and pick the kids from school and since Jade's kids go to the same school as hers they walked to school together where Jade had to bring up some jazz. "Sorry about what i poured out previously i just get these swings." She said also caressing her small bump that looked like 2 months. "i understand" Aurelia said and she had to because in her early months she'd just over do it at some point she felt like Jason would just run away at some point but he was always there.
"BTW i once saw you on YouTube on one of the Slam Channels. i loved this one poem of yours because I could relate to it. i can recite it off head." Jade said. Astonished Aurellia exclaimed, "Seriously!" "yes seriously, you want to test me." "No go on prove yourself." "Ok here i go" 'Hmmm Hmm She clears her throat and starts the recital .
A SELF CENTERED ME
I'm not sorry for all I've done,
for every part of it was fun,
All the evil under the sun,
Picks up my pieces and puts me in one'
So i allow to be the villain,
As long as i feel sane,
With or without friends.
Won't say i'm misunderstood,
For I'm not in the mood,
To be the goody two shoes,
Everybody hoots for,
A main character everyone's in love with,
No I'd rather be dark,
Doing all the crazy work,
That leaves a painful mark,
On everyone's heart ,
BUT MINE.

" Wow you even caught the hashtag i didn't recite."
"Yeah i'm a fun. Which brings it up why did you ever stop reciting. Anytime you feel like there is a restaurant uptown that holds those open mic night things. Anytime you want to participate, I can halla for you my most trusted nanny agency to take care of your kids as you hit it off."
"The fact that you've offered all that even without me telling you why i no longer recite is rather too interesting but I'll think about it, Okay.'
"please do. and thanks that I've met you in person." With that they parted ways to go on a hunt of their kids.
Her following days literally went on like that. She'd hang with the moms every break she had and they even taught her how to bake, cook and how to literally do most wife things well. She was a spoilt only kid so she never did chores and her parents were never there so she spent most of the time with a nanny or her grandma.
She finally allowed herself to kinda grow comfortable with them and her only achievement was Jes for she was a sweetheart but as for Jade, she never really got to understand that woman's true persona. At times she'd be nice ,a bitch and everything in between. Anyway maybe it was because of the foetus those things sorry kids can mean to mess someone up.
How are you now?
Is it all ok that side,
Do they give you the same care and comfort,
Have you new company?
Cause I just now hang with a couple,
A couple of moms at the moment,
I don't feel as part of them though,
Just enjoy their company,
I even learnt how to bake school pastries,
We go out and jazz about crazy things,
At times it takes my mind off you,
But then it drives me back to you more,
At the end of the day when I have face night,
And morning holding onto a pillow,
Just curl onto that humongous bed alone,
But also with the twins most times,
Cause like me they miss you,
And they know not when you'll return,
Like me, they too just pray.
