Love Rivals – Prompt #54 – Jealousy
"So, you're staying? After making Gilly cry so much anyway?" David asked, his tone neither accusing or territorial in the least.
"Yeah, what of it?" Gary muttered, his hand tightening around Gillian's, voice stiff as a board and full of thinly veiled animosity.
"Nothing," David replied honestly, smiling at Gillian briefly as she glanced up at him to see if he was okay. "Gillian's really happy about it, though. So I am, too."
Gary raised an eyebrow, then smirked suddenly.
Okay, this guy needed lessons; he clearly did not fully understand the term 'love rivals'…
Well, he murmured quietly, making Gillian jump in her head as she picked up his voice. He'll understand soon enough.
Angel- she began to protest in alarm. Don't-!
Gary ignored her and leaned across to kiss her cheek lightly, eyes on David's that had slightly widened.
Oh, so that's how you're playing it? David's mental voice joined in, a small smile forming on his lips now. He leaned over and kissed Gillian on the lips instead.
Gary just stared, open-mouthed at this blatant effrontery.
Oh, it was on now.
