Chapter 43
The girls finally arrived back at the appartment at around 2am, slightly worse for wear!!
"That guy that was after you! Man what a geek!" Gemma giggled as she flopped on the couch.
"Oh man! He was seriously ugly!" Amy laughed & sat on Gemma's legs! "Good night though huh?"
"Yep very good & Im very drunk!" Gemma sat up & crossed her legs facing Amy. Their giggles eventually subsided.
"Im not even tired!"
"Me either!"
"Gem?"
"Yes?"
"You wanna eat ice cream?!"
"We have ice cream?!"
"Chocolate!"
"Bring it on girl!!"
Amy got the ice cream from the freezer & 2 spoons & sat back down. They started eating.
"Amy?"
"Huh?"
"I kissed Jeff today!"
"I KNOW!!" Both girls started laughing!
"I KNOW YOU KNOW!!" Gemma laughed. "Man it aint even funny!!"
Amy slid off the couch & they laughed even harder! She stayed on the floor & leaned on Gemma's leg.
"So?"
"So what you ass!"
"What was it like?!"
"What?"
"The kiss you ass!!" Amy said sarcastically!
Gemma stopped laughing.
"Ive never been kissed like that before in my entire life!"
Amy looked up at Gemma & stopped giggling.
"Oh."
Gemma sighed.
"Amy it was like...amazing!! I dont even know how it happened! One minute we were talking & the next....well I was knocked out!!"
"Oh."
"Havent you got anything constructive to say?!"
"Not yet! Im waiting for the juicy bits!" Amy said tucking into some more ice cream.
"What if there are no juicy bits?!"
"OH PLEASE!! Matt said him & Mike could feel the heat from the porch steps! And your Dad's fence aint never gonna be the same again!!"
"Matt & Michael?!"
"Yup & from what I heard you two were pretty intense! So come on, spill it girl!!"
"Jesus! Michael will freak on me!"
"Aw shit to him! Tell me about Jeff!" Amy grinned.
Gemma looked down at her hands recalling that kiss & shivered!
"Oh Amy I cant even begin to describe it!"
"Well try Im running out of ice cream!"
Gemma wasnt really listening to her, she was lost in the memory of the kiss she'd shared with Jeff.
"Well it'slike you said with Matt, y'know....how you melted! Christ I just wanted to rip off his damn clothes & fuck him right there in the yard!!"
Amy snorted & coughed chocolate ice cream all over her shirt!
"GEMMA!"
"Well you asked!"
"Yeah but break it to me gentally girl!!" They both laughed.
"So what stopped ya?"
"Stopped me what?"
"From taking it further!"
"I dont know Amy! Seriously I mean I wanted to....but something inside of me just snapped!!"
"But now you regret it right?"
"No...well part of me wants him so bad Amy! But the other part knows its not right! It wouldn't work!"
Amy nodded.
"Ok, I dont get it but OK!"
"And I knew he felt the same way! He wouldnt have kissed me like that otherwise! And I could.....well y'know?"Gemma grinned.
"I know what?!"
"Well we were sorta close together & I could kinda...y'know feel his...erm....enthusiasm!!"
Amy choked again!
"You mean..."
"Yeah!!"
"Oh my God Gemma!!"
"Well you wanted to know so Im telling you!!"
They burst into fits of laughter & it took them a few minutes before they could stop!! They finished off the ice cream & decided to go to bed! It was then that they realised how thin the walls were between their rooms as Gemma could still hear Amy giggling!!
"Amy shut the fuck up!" Gemma shouted & promptly feel out of bed which made Amy even worse!!
"Gemma?"
"What?"
"Was it big?!"
Amy go to sleep!!"
"No tell me! I wanna know!!"
"Why so we can compare notes!!" They laughed again! "I couldnt tell how freakin big it was now go to sleep!!"
"Oh come on you must have had some idea!!"
"Ok ok so it was HUGE! Goodnight!!"
"Now you're making me jealous!!!"
"GOODNIGHT AMY!!"
They laughed until their sides hurt! Eventually it all went quiet. Gemma lay awake thinking about Jeff. She had wanted him so badly, but she knew she had to give it up! she knew they could never be any more than friends it it hurt like hell! She didnt want to cry again.....she'd cried enough tears for Jeff Hardy! She choked them back for as long as she could. One tear rolled down her cheek.
"Dammit!" She whispered & wiped it away. But it was too late. The floodgates opened.
"Damn you Jeff Hardy!!"
She turned over & burried her head in her pillow. A few moments later her door opened.
"Gemma? Are you ok hun?"
"No!" She sobbed.
"Oh shit! Move over!"
Amy climbed into Gemma's bed & hugged her. She didnt say anything, she just let Gemma sob on her shoulder for a while & stoked her hair.
"God I am such a fucking idiot Amy!"
"Shhh....you're not an idiot! Why do you say that?!"
"Because I thought Id come down here & be with Adam & forget Jeff even existed!!"
"But you cant?"
Gemma shook her head.
"I tried Amy I really fuckin tried!"
"So what's wrong with you & Jeff getin..."
"No Amy! We cant! It just wouldnt work! Its not right!"
"But from what you just told me Gemma it is SO right! For someone to make you feel like that with one kiss.....isnt that telling you something?!"
" No I cant! He is my best friend Amy! We cant do it! If we split up we lose everything!"
"But you'll gain so much more by trying!!" Amy sighed. "So why the kiss? Why even bother to torture yourselves for nothing?!"
"I have no idea! It was building for a while....I guess the tension...everything...it just happened Amy! I couldnt stop it!" She sniffed again. "We've already decided it wont be happening again!"
"Oh sweetheart you are kidding yourself! You & Jeff....man it was meant to be! Everyone can see it! You cant deny it Gemma not when you're both in love! It doesnt make sense!"
"So what about Adam!? He is such a great guy! No way am I fucking him around! He doenst deserve that!"
"You are fucking him around Gemma! Just by staying with him when you're in love with another guy...that's fucking him around!"
"No Im gonna make it work Amy! Me & Adam! I have to."
"Why is it that you & Jeff have a mental block when it comes to seeing what's right infront of you!?"
"Amy I love him..........but I'll get over it...I have to."
The girls finally arrived back at the appartment at around 2am, slightly worse for wear!!
