Revenge, Pt 14 The Truth

... 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. Rose had a knack for diffusing tense situations that I'd often envied. She could make people feel so at ease, even with an atmosphere like this. After breakfast Rose decided that we were staying the whole day, and overnight again, and the two of us walked home so I could shower and get a change of clothes. On the way back she steered the conversation back to me and Jessica, although I was still trying to process the bombshell that had just been dropped.

"I mean, you're not exactly her type." I let out a breath of relief. This thought had been swirling around for a while, but I wasn't sure how to ask her. 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." I said, "I'll do what I can." == The rest of the day should have been easy. We just watched TV and talked, but I couldn't shake the tension I felt in my stomach. Rose was being even more obvious now, trying to encourage us to talk to each other and laughing a little too loudly at the jokes we made. Or ...
