Jessa rolled her eyes before lying down on the rug as Marnie followed suit. This wine wasn't making the venture capitalist's "mash-ups" any more bearable, so she reached over Marnie to get her glass out of the way. The self-proclaimed DJ Thomas-John laid down next to her. She thought to herself What kind of name is that? There's no way he'll make it in music with a name like that. Not that he'd be able to make it anyway. She suppressed a laugh and rolling her eyes again, which was becoming a bit of a habit in this guy's presence.
She couldn't understand why Marnie liked him so much. She had never seen her flirt like that before; then again, Jessa didn't really know Marnie, not really. Maybe Marnie was on to something when she accused Jessa of mocking her earlier that day. Jessa was being serious whilst talking shit about Charlie's new girlfriend. "She's got nothing on you… you are a striking and classic beauty" Marnie was truly beautiful, though; there was no denying that. "Are you serious, Marnie? I care for you. I do, I really do. I think you are smart and kind…"
Her inner soliloquy was cut off by TJ (why didn't he just go by his initials?) rubbing his hands across their waists. "It's so rare to find such different but, at the same time, equal beauties"
Jess was having none of this. She sat up abruptly and announced "That's our cue to go. We've outstayed our welcome." She was going to continue rambling strings of excuses – really anything to get them out of this creeper's apartment – but before she could get up, Marnie put her hands on both sides of Jessa's head and pulled her in for a kiss. Slightly confused by Marnie's sudden change in behavior, she pulled away. Jessa wasn't one to turn down a perfectly good make out session, regardless of sex, and – to be perfectly honest – Marnie was one of the hottest girls she'd seen in a while.
After her two-second deliberation, Jessa made her decision, grabbing hold of Marnie's neck, tilting her head and pressing her lips on Marnie's with a huge grin. She thought to herself, I hope she understands what she's just started.
The kiss was tender but deliberate. Marnie's lips were soft and delicious. Jessa could taste the traces of wine still on their breath. Realizing that this kiss was everything right now, they both separated their mouths for a split second, taking a deep breath before letting their tongues explore. Heavenly.
She really couldn't get enough, not hesitating for a second when TJ tried to join in. When he got testy, though, and grabbed Marnie's breast, Jessa suddenly got defensive…. but why?
Jessa prided herself on the general disregard for other people's lives, exploiting their sexual contributions and then detached. But Marnie had done something to her. This morning, Marnie had opened up about her insecurities and then she actually willingly spent the day with the ice cold Jessa. Jessa really did enjoy her time with the gorgeous girl, but she honestly would never had guessed this is how their night would turn up… not that she was complaining.
Once again, her mental monologue was rudely interrupted by the increasingly desperate looking guy. Jessa didn't even try to mask her eye roll. What the hell was he rambling about? Marry Poppins? Real original. Using her most condescending tone and waving her hands for dramatic effect, Jessa frankly explained "That will never happen." When he landed on his knees, Jessa pretty much gave up all hope for the guy. She laughed to herself thinking if all else fails, he could try using what's left of his dignity to get the pesky wine stain out of his rug… "Yeah, well we're not laughing at your rug. Trust me," and then that really was their cue to go. She grabbed Marnie's hand pulling her to her feet. As she got to the door, Jessa thought this moment is just too great and decided to stomp on that tiny bit of dignity Teej had left, telling him proudly, "Oh just so you know, I'm gonna go eat her cunt on the sidewalk right now." Oh well, hopefully he has some club soda. I hear it works pretty well on wine…
Once they had cleared the creep's apartment, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Oh my God, what a weirdo. Seriously, what did I find so charming about him?" Marnie rolled her eyes for her serious lapse in judgment, which crossed over to a brief lesbian moment. What just happened? she thought to herself, confused in her bold and unexpected actions. Honestly, though, she wasn't freaked out by the intensity of her and Jessa's kiss. It was weird kissing a girl. Not bad, just new. Either she had been really deep in thought or Thomas (I just think it's a better fit for him) lived closer to her apartment than she had previously realized. When Marnie came back to reality Jessa was laughing loudly about the temper tantrum he had thrown. But really, what grown man does that?
"And he called me 'Mary Poppins!' Like, that's the best you've got? God, what a strange little man… any way, I had a great time tonight, whatever this was." She alternated her finger between Marnie and herself.
"Wait, you should come in. I mean, Thomas totally killed my buzz and I think I have some wine upstairs. And, I think Hannah is at Adam's tonight, so…" Her eyes were more pleading than she realized.
Jessa was taken aback by her last statement. She's inviting me up for drinks and her roommate isn't home? Shelaughed to try and alleviate the slight awkwardness between the two of them. "I'm sorry, but did you call him 'Thomas'?"
Marnie scoffed. "What are you talking about? What else would I call him?"
"By his birth name of course. Well, actually I've been referring him as 'TJ' in my head. But yes, I agree. I could use another glass… or five." She was keeping her eye on Marnie who didn't seem to notice how alluring she was being.
