“Thankfully that meeting is over. I hate wasting time on things we already covered during the conference call,” Rose said as she placed her bag on the table before sitting down in the booth. Her friend, Sally, nodded in agreement before doing the same.
“You know Brian, he just loves to talk. Whatever, it’s over now. When’s your flight home?” Sally asked.
“7pm. I’m sure Vinnie will be glad to have me back,” the short brunette replied while she pulled her phone out to check her text messages.
“Still in the ‘newlywed’ phase, huh?” the older woman inquired.
“You know it! I really lucked out with him. Great family too, they’re really close.”
“I could tell. The wedding was all the proof I needed to see how close they are. That comes with a traditional Italian upbringing, I guess,” Sally said, raising her arm to get a waitress’s attention.
“He doesn’t get to see them as much as he used to, though. He’s been working hard, hoping for a big promotion, so he doesn’t have to travel at all and can stay in the office. He enjoyed being a cameraman, but is ready for a change. He did go to school to be a broadcast engineer tech, ya know,” Rose explained.
The waitress finally sidled up to the table to take their orders.
“I’ll just have a chicken Caesar salad, light on the dressing,” Rose sighed.
“I’ll take the same, thanks,” Sally added.
The waitress nodded and trotted off.
Rose took a sip of her water and smiled. She was positive Vince would get the new job and then they could start planning for their future. Since they were both under 30, Vince at almost 28 and Rose two years his junior, they wanted to make as much money as they could before deciding on having kids and buying a bigger house. They met in high school and dated throughout college and graduate school. A little over a year after graduate school, Vince popped the question and a year and a half later, they were married. Now, only two months into marriage, things were really looking up for the Marellos future plans.
“Oh, don’t forget to email Andrea the final numbers for that account. She’ll be annoyed if you don’t,” Sally chirped.
“Got it,” Rose sighed, “Does that woman ever relax? She’s always going a million miles a minute. That reminds me, where was she today?”
Sally grinned at Rose.
“She just got back from Greece and will be in tomorrow. That is, of course, if her ass was able to fit on the airplane,” she smirked.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” Rose asked in surprise.
To her knowledge, Andrea had always been a very thin woman. In fact, jokes were abound about how she might blow out of the Charlotte office if there was a good gust of wind.
“You haven’t seen her in over a year, so you don’t know just how fat she’s gotten. She has easily put on 50 pounds, probably a lot more!” Sally exclaimed.
“Get the hell out of here! Did she get put on some new meds or something?” Rose asked.
“Nope. She met some guy and they hit it off. He was on the stockier side, but it wasn’t a big deal. Then I saw photos of his family on Facebook and realized he was damn near anorexic compared to them. He loves to spend time with them, so obviously Andrea tagged along. Now she’s struggling to fit into anything.”
“That’s awful. Poor girl,” Rose cringed.
“She’s happy and that’s all that counts. Or so she says, anyway. Although, I can’t imagine someone being fat and happy. People always tend to pack on the pounds when they date or hang out with overweight people. It always catches up to them.”
“Ha, not always,” Rose said, unconvincingly.
Sally laughed, “You’re probably the only exception to the rule. Most of the time, it catches up and then some.”
“I really doubt that, Sally,” Rose said.
“Well, I guess you’re right. But then again, didn’t one of your bridesmaids look like she spent the day hooked up to an air tank?”
“That was Krista," Rose huffed, "She was only in the wedding because we did dance back in high school and I was in her wedding. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have had her in mine.”
“Gotcha,” Sally nodded.
“And,” Rose paused to take a sip of water, “even if my husband’s family or my friends are all overweight, that doesn’t mean I’ll get like that. It’s about discipline and moderation, ya know?”
“If you say so,” Sally rolled her eyes.
The two friends finished their lunch before Sally drove Rose to the airport. Rose landed at 7:30pm and after making her way through the hustle and bustle of the New York City airport, she found her husband at the waiting area. She smiled and Vince gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
“Good trip?” Vince asked when they got settled into the car.
“It was. Thankfully I don’t have to make another trip again until October. Sally says hi by the way.”
They spent the rest of the ride home catching up and before long, they were back in Dix Hills. Vince headed into the living room of their split-level home while Rose went upstairs to unpack and get ready for bed. Vince’s hours were not as traditional as hers, so he often went to bed much later than Rose.
She headed into their bathroom and stripped off her business outfit before hopping into a steaming shower. The water revitalized her and made her forget about the hassles of the past two days. She enjoyed her job and if it wasn’t for the money afforded to her for all her duties, she would much rather be home instead of traveling. It had been a grueling year, with her accepting a new responsibilities because a co-worker had quit unannounced. Now she was doing her job as well as someone else’s job.
She wiped the fog off the mirror and glanced at herself. At just over 5’, she had to stand back to see her full self. She liked what she saw; an accentuated hourglass figure and most of her 125 pounds proportioned to her breasts and hips. When her mother was still alive, she always told her she looked like a young Sophia Loren. Rose held back a tear as she thought about her mom. She shook her head and pulled on her pajamas. Listening to her husband talk to the tv, she realized she would be going to bed alone that night. She hummed along with the tv show in their bedroom and soon fell fast asleep.
