The woman dove straight into Jay's arms with a coquettish proclamation, "I missed you, Jay."
To which Jay cupped her cheek and replied lovingly with mirth in his eyes, "What took you so long?"
Angeline was stricken by his gentleness with her, such gentleness that once belonged to her and only her.
Yet right then, he was giving it to this woman in front of her instead.
Angelina's eyes blurred as she stood dazedly in place.
After a passionate round of hugging with Jay did the woman finally acknowledge Angeline.
The tall woman walked over to Angeline. Her enchanting figure coupled with the energetic spirit in her eyes crushed Angelina's short-statured presence.
"Is this chick your little ex-girlfriend, Jay?"
Jay nodded. "Yeah."
"Other than her face, I don’t see much else of her that’s of appeal."
Angelina’s emotions jumped between anger and humiliation.
It was just that the boxy clothing she wore happened t o hide her figure.
"What interesting taste you used to have." The woman tsked and sighed.
Jay replied, "I was just a child. You can't expect my taste back then to be as good as it is now."
Seeing Angeline close to tears, Jay changed the subject. "Anyway, now that you’re finally back, we’ll have to celebrate your return.”
Jay and the alluring woman continued to banter intimately back and forth, treating Angeline like transparent air.
Angeline had no idea how she managed to leave Jay's room. She felt her chest bloom with snow roses as she struggled to breathe.
