Jeff walked into his bedroom
nonchalantly and took a deep breath. Trish was still asleep. Jeff headed toward
his bed, reached out to touch her soft tangible skin…
Trish made a small noise. Then she
slightly moved her arm, then turned over to her other side and got more
comfortable. Her soft snore couldn't help but make Jeff smile.
Maybe Matt's right. I do love her.
Really love her. Jeff stood in his same position and watched an angel of his
dreams sleep soundly.
Man she's pretty. I shoulda told her
that. Jeff heard some paddling noises
outside his room and then heard a heavy pant. Knowing who it was, Jeff poked
his head out in his haw way. "Liger, quiet! Trish is trying to rest." Liger
only yelped in response. Jeff shooed his dog away. "Be a good dog and go
downstairs." Liger did'nt listen and jumped on his master. "Ahhh!"
Trish heard the scream and gently
her eyes fluttered open. She winced as the sun shined in her face. She looked
around her surroundings and almost screamed. She was in a bed and that must
ment…
Trish threw the covers off her,
revealing her in her bra and thong. Her face grew more mortified. "Oh, god!
What have I done!" She did'nt see Jeff anywhere. He must have freaked too, she
thought. Trish got out the bed immediately, but stopped as she heard laughing
noises outside the bedroom door. "Jeff is that you?" She picked up her skirt
from the floor and covered herself. "Jeffy?" She tiptoed to the door and peeked
out the crack of it. She almost giggled at what she was seeing. Liger was
licking Jeff away as he laid pinned to the floor. She covered her mouth, not
trying to interrupt the moment, but Jeff felt her presence. His eyes went in
her direction. He immediately sat up and wiped the drool off his face.
"T-t-Trish."
"Jeff." She said faintly. It was a
slight pause and Jeff said. "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry."
"Trish I'm the one." She stopped
Jeff by stepping into the hall. She still covered herself protectively with her
dress. Jeff saw this and stepped closer. "Trish…"
"Jeff, I'm the one who made a move
on you. I should be ashamed." She bit her lip as she went on. "I guess this
makes me more as a slut." Jeff put his hands on her shoulder. "No, it doesn't.
I love you. I really do. I never noticed until now. Don't blame yourself." He spoke
softly. His hands pulled her into a hung suddenly and then kissed her on the
forehead. Trish was in shock, but wrapped her hands around his waist and rested
her head on his shoulder. "Jeff, I love you." She closed her eyes and she
forgot all about her dress and let go of it. She never wanted to leave this
moment. They rocked back in forth in their own little world. It was just them.
No one else. They both pulled away inches apart and they pulled into a deep
romantic kiss that they would never forget and they smiled after. Not taking
off their grins, Jeff let go of Trish. "Get dress now." He said. Trish held
onto his hand and squeezed it. She never took her gaze from him. "I will…."
Jeff lightly kissed her again, on her cheek. Trish let go reluctantly.
I never felt this way before, she
thought as she departed from Jeff. She gathered her belongings off the floor.
No one has never ever made me smile like that. I mean I'm in love. She slid on
her dress and retied it. I love Jeff. It repeated in her head over and over.
Trish beamed every time she said the L word. "Love."
She walked out and heard voices
downstairs. It sounded like Shane. He hurried down the staircase and saw Jeff
giving his pal a friendly hug. Shane noticed Trish and gave Jeff a sly smile.
"Jeff, what is this?" he pointed at Trish he had a bit a pink on her cheeks and
she smiled.
:"Trish came to spend some time with
me." Said Jeff.
"I guess it is true. You and Trish?
Wow!"
"Don't tell me my brother told you
that?" said Jeff knowing the answer was yes. Shane nodded guilty. "Everyone
knows it."
"Well, I'm glad." Said Trish. "Jeff
makes me happy. He's the only man that I truly adore."
It was like this all day, Jeff was
very exuberant. Cheery, beaming, and just carefree. Matt and Amy watched Jeff,
as he finished whipping up his famous ice-cream Sunday. They had curious looks
on their faces. Matt was the first to say a thing. "Jeff, you all right?" Jeff
finished dropping the red cherry on his Sunday and looked up at his bro. "Yeah,
everything's peachy." He licked his lips at his masterpiece. This time Amy
stepped in. "You've been happy all day. Isn't that back of yours killing ya?"
"Guys I'm always happy."
"No, man." Began Matt. "Your
tooooooo happppppyyyyy." He exaggerated it a bit.
"Why can't I be tooooooo
haaappppyyyy." He licked some strawberry off his finger. "And besides Trish is
coming over." Matt and Amy exchanged glances.
"We knew it." They both said at the
same time. Jeff gave his brother and friend an annoyed look. "Don't even think
about it….."
"Jeff and Trish. Jeff and Trish.
Jeff and Trish…" began Amy. She began to dance and Matt joined along in her
song.
"Not again. Quit nagging." Said
Jeff. He dipped his spoon in his dessert and spoon-fed himself. "God. I can't
stand you guys." The doorbell ranged and Amy offered to get it. Matt elbowed
his brother abruptly. "So, what happened? I mean you went back home and…"
"We got together." Said Jeff. He
continued eating his ice-cream and stopped once he saw Trish. He dropped his
spoon and stood up. "Your early."
"I know. Tonight we have to hit the
road, House show ya know."
"Yeah." Said Matt. "Me and Aims
going too, maybe you can come."
"Yea, maybe." Said Jeff. "Trish have
I told you, you look fantastic in that shirt? It's the truth." Trish laughed a
bit and said, "Thanks Jeff."
"So, I guess you two are now
officially an item." Said Amy excitedly. He clasped her hands. "Man, Trish you
had the nerve." Trish giggled.
"My Jeffro, growing up!" Matt
slapped Jeff's back and sent him flying to the floor, in pain. Everyone
shrieked and quickly helped him up. Jeff gasped for air. "Um….Matt you did'nt
have to do that."
"Sorry, I'm just so surprised."
"Hey, why don't we all celebrate."
Said Amy. "Go out to a…" Jeff eyed Amy and she blushed embarrassingly. "Burger
King anyone?"
"I'm up for it!" said Trish.
"Me too." Said Matt.
"Think god, no wannabe French restaurants."
Said Jeff in relief.
