"God it's been 2 hours since we left Vito's, where is she?" I exclaimed pacing around my living room.
"Liz, relax," Anna said. She and Salvador were sitting on my couch.
We had finished watching a movie fifteen minutes ago and then I noticed Jess hadn't ever came home.
Just then we heard a car pull up and then Jess came in the house, her hair was all messed up.
"Where the hell were you?" I exclaimed.
"Nowhere," Jessica said.
I noticed something that resembled a love bite on her neck. I turned to Sal and Anna who were gaping at it as well.
"Nice hickey, Jess," Salvador said.
Jessica blushed and covered her neck up with her hand and ran upstairs into her room.
"I'll be right back," I said to my friends and then followed Jessica up the stairs to her room.
"Who gave you the love bite?" I asked walking into her room.
"Damon," she said quietly.
"Oh my God, you were-with Damon-again?" I asked, almost speechless.
Jessica nodded.
"Jess, what does this mean?" I asked sitting by her on her bed.
"That I have to tell Jeremy, and I'm going to, because, I'm starting to...I'm starting to..." she said but drifted off.
"What? Starting to what?" I asked.
"Have feelings for Damon, and they are so much bigger now than they ever have been. Ever. I really think I love him Liz, there can't be any other excuse, I have to be falling in love with him, I have to be, and I think I am. Part of me hopes so too," Jessica said and then leaned back on her bed.
"Jessica, then you have to tell Jeremy, because this isn't fair to him," I said.
"You don't think I know that?" Jessica asked.
"Okay, I'm just saying, anyway, I'm going back downstairs,"
"Okay, see ya," Jessica said.
I got up off the bed and headed back downstairs.
"So, who was the Bearer of the Bite?" Salvador asked.
"Guess," I said flopping down in between them.
"Damon?" Salvador asked jokingly.
I didn't answer.
"Oh my God, she was with Damon, again?" Anna asked, surprised.
I nodded.
"They just need to get together, and stop kidding themselves, Jessica has always been crazy about him, and Damon has always, always felt things toward Jessica," Salvador said.
Anna nodded in agreement.
"Jeremy is just going to be crushed if he finds out from someone other than Jessica so she really needs to tell him, soon," I said.
Salvador glanced at me, "How would you actually bear news like that. Just be in the middle of a conversation and then just go; Oh gee honey, sorry, I forgot to tell you, I cheated on you, with your competitor for the War of the Bands and the love of my life. Twice. Oops sorry about not telling you, I plum forgot. So let's get back to our topic about marriage."
Anna stared at him and then burst into laughter and so did I.
The three of us just sat there with our arms around each other.
It was so nice to finally feel back at home.
