He was taking me on a tour of Central Park, stopping every once in a while
to kiss me for a few minutes, and then to continue walking on and talking.
We stumbled upon Spot and his newest girl, Sweets that was another requirement; they had names that started with S's. He gave us a crooked smile, Jack's arm was around my waist at the time, and I supposed he was trying to piece together the clues: my disheveled hair, giddy grin, and Jack's lopsided smile.
Spot gave us a small appreciative smile, and led his girlfriend Sweets on to Toby's, the double of Tibby's in Manhattan. Jack and I walked on.and he finally took me home to the Brooklyn lodging house, but promised me he'd be back the next day. Well to make a long story short, I moved to Manhattan to be a long-term girlfriend, to be there for him all the time.
You see Jack wasn't really into long distance relationships, and he also didn't trust me around other guys by myself for days on end. Now here we are, a year later, still with Jack, who had his hands all over the girl that broke my best friends heart.
"So, Spot, how was selling today?" I asked him to try and break the unusual silence between the group in the booth. "I'se didn't have da time ta sell Snaps, ya didn't notice how easy it wus ta sell today?" He gave me a look. I shrugged and feigned a look of indifference, "You know I don't really view you as competition..." I laughed at his hurt look, I had wounded his pride temporarily. "Da day dat you'se finish sellin dis early, you'se bettah tell me thanks for da favor, for not showin up." I smiled, he always had a way of making me feel annoyed when I was trying to get a rise out of him.
We were torn out of our pleasant conversation by Jack nudging me on the shoulder, "Yes?" I asked him sweetly. "Can I'se talk ta ya outside for a second?" he said nervously twitching. I raised my eyebrows, what could be so private that he couldn't say in front of Spot? And why was he twitching? Jack never got nervous....
I looked over at Spot as I slowly slid out of the booth and walked towards the door with Jack's guiding hand on my shoulder to lead me out onto the sidewalk besides the door, he looked worried, and threw an angry glare at Sterly as she shot me the corniest grin of all time. Oh shit, something was going on.
Jack pulled me outside and then turned to face me, running his hands through his hair in a nervous gesture. I reached out and grabbed the shaking hand, and kissed it, "What's wrong babe?" I cooed to him softly. He looked at me unexpectedly, right into my eyes, they were filled with uncertainty and worry.
"Well, I've been talking to Sterly lately-" I cut him off, "So I've noticed," he continued-"And she and I have both come to the conclusion, that you and me, aren't working out."
My eyes widened in shock, "Ok, care to explain a little more elaborately on that one for me?" He glanced down slowly into my eyes, and didn't look away, "I don't want you, well I do feel attracted to you, and I still care for you. I just, I cant resist temptation anymore, I have control and everything, but I just, I cant stay with you and remain faithful at the same time."
(A/N: next few lines rated for language and violent themes.....haha she's mad)
I looked at him, and laughed softly in disbelief. Faithful? When had he ever been faithful to me since the day Sterly tripped and 'fell' on his lips?
I slapped him.
I slapped him hard enough to leave a red mark on his face.
I slapped him again, this time with my left hand.
It threw his head to the other side.
"FAITHFUL!" I screamed in his face. "You stopped being FUCKING faithful to me like.THREE FUCKING months ago you......you MAN-WHORE!"
His face shown with disbelief, he was beyond shocked, but he quickly recovered and it turned to anger. I watched in terror as I saw his own hands rise towards me, he intended to strike me.
The first contact was fast and hard, in my stomach, the second was on my lower left cheek. He lifted his left hand to make another blow, as the hand began to make a descent, a different hand that had a strong grip, came forward and caught Jack's wrist. "What da hell do you think your doin?" said an irate Spot.
