The fireworks exploded again. Truly, her name was written with fireworks.
Jared had never performed such a large gesture for me.
He always just told me to be grateful for what I had because many women also wanted him.
He was right about those many women. Sara was the chief of them all. She always found new ways to insert herself between us, especially when she knew that Jared and I were to be together.
I watched him lean towards her and whisper into her ears.
I decided that I had enough and called his phone.
He didn’t pick until the third call. “Ashley, why do you want to blow up your phone?”
“Excuse me for interrupting your very private date.” I was as sarcastic as I could manage without sounding rude.
“I’m busy at work.” Jared said.
Before, I would never have doubted him if he said he was busy at work, but now, I think he sees me as a fool, hoping that I would never find out about him and Sara.
“I can see how busy you are. And maybe when you’re done, you’ll propose to Sara with fireworks too.”
“Are you calling me a liar?”
“If you don’t want me to call you worse, tell me where you are right now?”
