Revenge, Pt 14 The Truth

... in to huge arguments about it when I was a kid, but I think now they've just decided to lean in to it. They cheat on each other, and then they're happy when they're together. It works." She shrugged, and went back to her food. My first instinct was to ask for some sort of proof, but I ignored it. Jessica was smarter than me, and they were her parents. If she was certain that this was happening, what choice did I have but to believe her? "Shit." I said, still stunned. This was a lot to process. "It's not that bad, really." Rose said, as if still trying to convince herself, "I mean, they're both happy like this, right?" "Right." Jessica agreed, her tone sharp. This bothered her, but this wasn't really the time and place to talk about it. Or was it? I found myself wishing Jessica and I were alone so I could ask her how she felt, but why would she have to hide that from Rose? She knew her better than I did, probably. "Well, at least someone in the house is getting laid." Rose said, looking pointedly at Jessica. I laughed despite myself, and so did Jessica.

I still wasn't close to ready for Rose to be involved with this, and her trying to secretly get us together would just complicate things. "No, I just want you to be friends." she said, "Not just my friends, you know? Like, friends with each other." "I get it." I said. "So," she continued, "We'll hang out today, all of us, but I'm going to leave again, and you and Jessica can watch some movies or something, get some dinner. Just... just hang out with each other." What she was describing sounded a lot like a romantic night in, but I guess Jessica was so beautiful and I was so overwhelmingly plain that she couldn't even consider that something might happen between us. She was just too out of my league. I would have been really offended if it wasn't so accurate. Also all the sex we'd been having sort of took the sting out of it. "Ok?" she asked. "Ok."
