Chapter 10: Confusion
'Alright. Maybe I can't wait.' It had only been 5 or so minutes but Griffin was getting antsy. As he stood, he sensed a jump.
David appeared a few feet away. Griffin lost his words briefly. "A-Are they?" David nodded, looking up towards the seating area. "Good," Griffin grumbled. "Let's go then," he jumped to Angela's living room. 'I think I left enough rot for him to follow.' Sure enough, David popped into the room behind Griffin.
David was looking around. Griffin glanced at him once then wandered into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator door and grabbed the last beer. He looked at it in his hand guiltily. 'Guess I should get more...' He put the beer can on the counter and jumped to a liquor store; grabbing two six packs of the first thing he saw, and jumped back to the kitchen. David was in there, now drinking out of the can Griffin left.
As he put the six packs in the bottom of the refrigerator, he heard the faint sound of a can being put down. Griffin stood up right again and turning around, only to be mere inches from David. "Griffin, we should talk."
Griffin's mind fought furiously with him. Yelling so many things at him about the present situation he was in. 'Belt up!' He made it stop this time. With his mind clear he asked, "'Bout what?" with a glare of boredom.
David put his hand on the fridge behind Griffin, trapping him between the two. "I saw that blush earlier," he admitted.
Griffin's eyes were viscously scanning David's face. 'Shite. Lie.' "I was uh...I had a thought about Angela." 'Well at least that was part lie.'
Griffin watched as David's slightly nervous face changed to a desperate one. David leaned his face forward. Griffin tried leaning back, but that was an inevitable mistake. 'Back against a wall. I wanna run right now and I can't. Sodding legs move!'
David's face got closer to Griffin's. His heart speeding up. 'I can feel David's breath. This is so-' Griffin's thought was interrupted by David's lips on his own. He wanted to jump away, but he couldn't focus. He let out a small whimper as David inched closer, arm still keeping Griffin there.
Griffin moved his hands to the collar of David's jacket when he sensed a jump. In a hurry, he broke the kiss, pushing David away fiercely. "God David! What the fuck?" he yelled wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He stormed out of the kitchen, past Millie and Angela, and into the bedroom.
---
'Whoa. Surprise?' Angela jumped herself and Millie to the living room. They both laid eyes on David in the kitchen with Griffin. 'Kissing? But, what?!' Griffin yelled at him and rushed into the bedroom.
"David, what is going on?" Millie sounded either really pissed, upset, or both as she went into the kitchen to David. 'David looks lost...Poor guy.' Angela didn't feel she had to stick around to hear their quarrel. She turned and looked at her open bedroom door. 'I wonder if Griffin's okay?' She walked to the doorway and poked her head in. Griffin was standing by the large window, clenching the bridge of his nose with two hands. "Um...Griff-"
"I don't wanna talk ta-" he said as he opened his eyes and turned, looking at Angela with hatred.
"Oh...sorry then," Angela turned, shaking her head.
"Wait," she heard him call. She turned back around and walked into her bedroom. "I didn't know it was you. Sorry," his face seemed kinder, softer.
"Wow. You apologizing? That's new," she chuckled.
He sneered at her, "Shut up." He dropped to the floor.
Angela hurried to his side. "Are you okay?" 'Am I seriously worrying about him?' She sat down next to him. "What happened?"
Griffin looked over at her with a blank face. She couldn't tell what he was feeling through his expression, which bothered her. "Griff-?"
Unexpectedly, she was cut off by Griffin's kiss. She wasn't sure what was going on until he pulled away. "That's what happened." Her face was slightly blushed and she knew there was a strong look of confusion lingering. "I feel like how you do righ' now," he told her while staring at the floor.
'I wanna slap the stupid Brit.' She didn't though. Instead, she turned his face to hers and lightly kissed him back. Then she ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. 'Can't believe I did that.'
Hee hee. Because this life loves triangles!
