5
After nearly 20 years of marriage, it was about time to tell her husband the truth. She's stayed one no matter what came their way; from her mother-in-law moving in with them after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's to taking care of the elderly at a nursing home; to the loss of her own mother. It seems that no matter what she does, time and age is constantly closer than she realizes. So, on her birthday she decided to tell him.
A: B (short for baby), thanks for the Michael Kors bag. I know it's the 5th one you got me this year. One for New Year's, Easter , Memorial Day, Veteran's and Halloween.
He grunts nodding his head in acknowledgement.
A: It's gonna be our 20th in 2012, and I'm just so excited to still be here with you.
Another grunt. This is actually a momentous occasion as she has not lasted for more being a spouse to one man at any moment in time.
Well, she was married to #1 in Quebec City where she is from but then married #2 while in Paris 2 years later. She was there for 7 years, moved to New Orleans where she met number #3 to become a citizen and really did become a good wife. Up until then, Aurora did not believe in divorces because she is a good Roman Catholic. Up until number #3 who found it necessary to hit her whenever she forgot to wash the dishes or mix colors with whites in the laundry. After being in knocked unconscious the 3rd time and found by her doorstep in Metarie by the 10 yr. old neighbor, she realized that maybe the Virgin might just forrgive her if she left him until the lawyer delvers the papers.
In all honesty, she stopped believing in marriages up until she met #4 who was in the Navy Seals, had a heart of gold and never says too much but grunts instead.
A: I have to tell you something very important that I have been hiding for awhile now.
Silence.
A: and since it's gonna be our 20th in 2012, I think you should know.
No grunt, just silence.
A: and if we continue on, I have to tell you the truth.
He looked at her, eyes selling up.
A: I'm not really who you think I
He kne it. This was too good to be true. Bags doesn't make a woman happy. He should've said more instead of grunting. It's too late now. Here it's, here she goes, she's gonna spill it and tell him she's been married to someone else all along, that there's been a #5 for years!
A: We're the same age.
He's gonna have a heart attack, she's gonna leave him. 19 years, 2 beautiful boys and she's been married to someone else. Wait. Did she say they're the same age.
A: B, did you hear me?
What is she talking about, he's 5 years, 3 months and 2 days older than her? The same age?
A: When I moved to the country, I changed my age.
Grunt .
B: You mean you're not leaving me.
Leaving him, she thought. Has he gone crazy? She's taking care of his mother and he buys her bags. Why would she leave him.
B: You mean there's no one else? No #5.
Silence. Then laughter. First her then him.
A: The only #5 I have is Chanel.
