Jealousy Is a Funny Thing
"Now, my dearest, I must know why you sabotaged Amy?" I said to Anya as I stroked my fingers throughout her extensive soft shimmering hair
"Because I wanted to" she shot back at me
"Seriously, love, why?"
She sighed and divulged to me why
"…Jealousy is a funny thing Ian. It can happen to anyone… even me"
"You were jealous?"
She nodded
"I am the person who wants to have everything within my grasp, and when you weren't dating Amy and was chasing me, you were within my grasp and I loved how when I told you that I hated you that it would just make you love me more, but-"
"When I was dating Amy, I wasn't within your grasp, and you felt you needed to change that"
She nodded again and kept her head down.
"I had forgotten that you were a professionally trained spy" I joked while I elevated her head with my finger in an intentionally passionate way "therefore a master at vengeance. I should have told Amy to watch her back"
She shook her head
"The only way you would have known to do that would have been if you knew I was jealous, and you didn't know"
"True," I agreed
There was a pause.
"You do realize what this means right?" she asked
I shook my head
"You know, it means I love you"
The girl I have been chasing since I was 10 was saying the words I have always wanted to hear her say
I nodded right before the unbeatable kiss, and I had kissed Anya before, but this was truly breathtaking. Literally.
"True" I agreed again in the little breath I could get, because Anya was always right.
