I made a mistake. The reason the last update was so long was because it was three different shots. Damn it. So I'm rectifying the error. For those of you following through alerts, I'm going to add another shot because I didn't want you to get an alert just to see it was the same thing. Cause apparently I'm nice once in a while. And, for those that care, if anyone, I'm doing this today instead of tomorrow because sloth13's flattering got to me. I was even tempted to give you all of them. Just for a second though.
I sniffed, trying to calm down, as Jade stared at me. Her eyes and face soft. She looked sad and nervous. And I couldn't understand why she had been avoiding me when she was looking at me like that now. Her thumb stroked my tear stained cheek. She leaned down and kissed my cheek. I closed my eyes when her lips pressed against my skin. The kiss was soft and tender. I opened my eyes as she pulled back. "I'm sorry, Cat," she said, her hand still on my cheek. Then she said, in a delicate voice, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Then why did you?" came out of my mouth.
She looked down at her feet. "Because I'm an idiot," she said looking back up at me.
I gave her a small smile and lightly shook my head, "You're not."
Her lips curled up a bit. "If I wasn't, I would have told you a long time ago instead of acting like a jerk."
That was all she offered, so I prodded, "Told me what?"
She breathed out deeply. That's when her hand left my face.
