Chapter 43: Reba?
Jason looked into the lovely blue eyes of his ex wife.
He still could not believe that he was seeing her. What was she doing here? He had thought that she
would be travelling round the world with her husband Terry, enjoying herself and having the time of her
life.
He looked round thinking that Terry must be somewhere behind but there was no one.
''Jason, I know that this must havee as a surprise to you, I mean seeing me again and here of all
ces, but that does not mean that you should not respond to my greetings now does it?'' She asked
smiling.
That smile had always been able to do things to his system. And he felt the smile drawing his close.
Reba was a really beautiful woman with a spell binding shape but why not, she had been a model
when he had met and fallen in love with her.
He looked her up and down and Reba was d she had worn the dress she had bought specially
for this asion and that she was looking her absolute best.She had known Jason would be here. He
had confirmed from one of her friends and hade prepared to win him back or seduce him back into
her life. She had realised that she could not find any that really loved her as much as Jason had done,
even to the point of foolishness and extravagance.
His reaction ttered her. She had kept tabs on him and knew that he had not remarried since she left
him.
He liked what he saw. Reba had not changed one single bit. She was looking even more beautiful
and captivating and he knew that he not nearly as immune to her as he had thought.
''Reba, is that really you? You are looking really good. You are right you took me by surprise. I was
not expecting to see you here, so pardon my bad manners.
How are you doing?''
''Very well thank you. And you do not have to apologise. I realise that I must have to taken you
unawares and the shock of seeing me again must have made you speechless but that''s okay, you have
found your voice now and that''s a good thing.I have always loved your deep masculine voice which
grew deeper when we are alone in a loving embrace'', she said smiling slyly.
Jason was disgusted. This fool would never change. She wasing on to him when she had left him
and married his best friend? This was unbelievable. Was this how she had been carrying on behind
Terry''s back? He felt pity for the poor man stir in his heart and any attraction he had felt at seeing her
after she had eloped with his best friend died instantly.
He immediately diverted her from whatever else she had been about to say by asking a question that
he had wanted to ask since setting eyes on her.
''Where is your husband?''
''My husband? What do you mean,?'' she asked perplexed.
''What do you mean? You got me to divorce so that you could get married to Terry who you loved so
much, didn''t you? Where is he?''
''You are mistaken. I could not have got put of one marriage only to get trapped into another. I loved
Terry but I loved my freedom more and I was never going to get that freedom with you. So I got you to
divorce me''.
Jason could not believe what he was hearing. He had obviously been mistaken. It was typical of
Reba to think only of herself. He was sure that Terry had taken that step with the intension of
making Reba his wife but must have been disappointed.
Not that it concerned him but he was curious to know where Terry was. But before he could ask
Reba, someone interrupted.
''There you are Jason darling, I have been wondering where you had gone off to'', Phoebe asked
cing a hand possessively on his shoulder.
He did not mind one tiny bit that she was being possessive. Reba had to know that she no longer
have a ce in his life.

''Phoebe love, I had wanted to get away from a few of my friends and you were busy speaking to that
arm with his.
''So fast? Won''t you at least introduce me to yourpanion?'' Reba asked.
''Oh, Phoebe, meet my ex-wife Reba. Reba, Phoebe is a very close friend of mine''. Jason said.
Reba noted the linked arms and his use of close friend. She knew that she had no right over him
anymore and she could not im to love him but she still felt slighted. She was not used to that. She
was always the centre of attention but she was willing to let this slide.
Both women shook hands, each assessing the other, Reba smiled smugly because she felt that this
Phoebedy was no match for her own ravishing beauty and ss. And if Jason really cared for her as
he was trying to show, then he would have been with her, being possessive and would never have left
her to be alone here. It showed her their type of rtionship and that she had nothing to be afraid of
from the girl.
Phoebe thought that she had Nancy to contend with and now this beauty hade. Was she going to
have to contend with her for Jason''s attentions and affections too? And this woman had an edge
because Jason had loved her intensely and had been devastated when she had left him. He may still
be in love with her and with her looks and shape, who can me him?
''Alright see you around Reba and please extend my greetings to Terry'', Jason said pulling Phoebe
away towards the party where they said their farewells and left.
All through the trip home, they were both silent. Phoebe had hoped that Jason would say something
about his wife but he had kept silent and as much as she wanted to ask questions to satisfy her
curiosity, she kept silent as well.
One moment there when he had called her his love, she had got a swollen head,thinking that he was
beginning to feel more towards her but when he had introduced that woman as his ex wife, she realised
he was just using her to make Reba jealous.
What did that tell her? That he was still in love with his ex wife? She hoped not because she did not
want that kind ofplication and why did the woman have toe back now?''
