-Normal POV-
Phoenix sighed as she took another sip of coffee and watched as Matt began to clean up the mess he had made. She heard the shower turn on in the bathroom and for some reason couldn't take her eyes off the door.
"Come here." Phoenix said as she held out a hand towards Matt who cocked an eyebrow before walking towards her.
"What can I do for you darlin'?" Matt asked as he stood in front of her.
"Give me a kiss?" Phoenix asked and she smiled when she saw Matt nod his head. He bent down and lightly pressed his lips against hers.
Phoenix smiled into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening it.
"Would you two quit it? Or at the very least get your own room." Jeff said as he stepped out of the bathroom and Phoenix pulled away from Matt.
"You're just jealous Jeff." Matt said as he went and slapped his brother on the shoulder.
"Phoenix I need to have a private conversation with my brother. Can you please leave?" Jeff asked motioning towards the door and Phoenix just nodded her head, not really sure of what else she should do.
-Jeff's POV-
I watched as Phoenix left and then shut the door.
"Of course I'm jealous Matt!" I screamed at my brother who looked as if I had just punched him in the face.
"Why?" He asked as if he didn't already know the answer. He knew I had kissed Phoenix and now he was asking stupid questions.
"Because I like her and you took her." I said as I sat down on the edge of my bed.
"Why didn't you answer her when she asked you about that kiss then?" Matt asked me and I looked at him for a few moments.
"Because I wasn't sure how she felt about me. We always fight and I just thought that…" I trailed off, not really knowing where I was going with this.
"You thought what Jeff? That she would sit around and wait for you to make the first move? I'm sorry you missed out, but I'm happy with her and I'm not going to give that up for you." Matt yelled at me as he stood up from the bed enraged.
"But would you give it up for her?" I asked him and watched as surprise registered across his face.
"What do you mean?" He asked me and I kept my gaze locked with his own.
"If she said she wanted to be with me, would you let her go so she could be happy?" I asked and waited for his answer. I could tell Matt was deep in thought, he kept his gaze locked on my own, but it was as if he had spaced out.
"I would let her go. I could never make her stay with me. Even if it was you who she wanted to be with. It would kill me to see the two of you together, but if it made her happy.. I suppose I could live." Matt said and I smiled a little bit at hearing my brothers words.
-Phoenix's POV-
I sat out in the hall, my mouth open in disbelief at what I had just heard.
Jeff likes me, but he's too afraid to admit it. Is he waiting for me to make the first move?
I let this question race through my head.
And then that was when the thoughts started coming.
I'm with Matt though. I cant really want to leave him for Jeff, can I? That would be wrong though. I like Matt. Not just as a friend either, there is definitely a connection between use I can feel it. But what if I am supposed to be with Jeff? Who would this hurt more? Me or Matt?
I snapped out of my thoughts as the door to the room opened and a now fully clothed Jeff walked out and right past me. He winked at me before pushing the button for the elevator.
I got up from my seat on the floor and walked into the room to find Matt with his head in his hands.
-Normal POV-
"Phoenix we need to talk." Matt said as Phoenix took a seat next to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and waited for him to continue.
"Maybe we shouldn't be together. I mean you obviously have feelings for Jeff and he likes you. I don't want another situation like what happened with Amy and I. I cant go through that again." Matt said as he got up from his seat and walked out of the room, leaving Phoenix sitting there alone.
