Stop Those Tears

Part Two

Jay's arms tightened around Holly J sweetly as he gently pushed her head down into his shoulder. "Shh, it's okay." He whispered into her ear, kissing the top of her head, a whiff of her cinamon smelling shampoo filling his nose. He didn't know why he was being so nice. I mean...yeah, he didn't like to see women cry but still. She'd insulted him after he'd saved her ass in that bar.

"You mind telling me why you were even in that bar, in the first place?" He asked of her once she'd calmed down and pulled away slightly.

Holly J sniffled lightly as she looked into his eyes and she nodded her head. If she weren't so upset then she'd have never have done this. Never have cried in his arms or thought of telling him this. "I went to The Dot today for work." A bitter smile crept up her lips as she streaked a hand under her nose to wipe it. "He...was being different around me, you know? Flirting and smiling at me and touching me more. I was happy about that. I've liked him for a long time. I mean...even when I was dating Blue. Anyway, it was closing time and he just started kissing me against the counter. I kissed him back and I thought I'd finally got what I'd wanted until I told him that I loved him, like the moron I am. He called me Jane against my neck."

Jay winced at the thought and shook his head. "I'm sorry." He told her, truly meaning it.

"It's not your fault." She muttered, lowering her blue eyes. "I knew how much he loved Jane. I should've known that he wasn't over her. I just...." She trailed off. He'd understood her. Understood all the crazy shit that she did and how messed up she could be. He hadn't judged her. He had just told her how it was.

He sighed and stared at her from his position in the driver's seat. "Yeah, but I feel like I should apologise for my friend's stupidity. He shouldn't have used you like that." He said as he started the car once more and got on the road.

They drove for ten more minutes, Holly J watching the man beside her out of the corner of her eye.

The car finally stopped infront of her house, but to Jay, it didn't seem as if she noticed. Quirking his brows he reached past her and unlocked the car door. "We're at your house, Holly." He said carefully, hoping to gain her attention by just calling her Holly.

Instead she just continued to stare up at him as if in awe. Her lips curved up into a wry grin and she suddenly leaned forward, pressing her lips to his in a gentle kiss that lasted for a brief minute before she pulled away from him, smiling shyly as she leaned back into her seat again. "You know, you're not as big of a jerk as I thought you were, Jay." She told him sweetly.

At that point, he didn't recall much else as he suddenly shot forward a hand and brought her face back to his, meeting her lips in a much more passionate kiss than the one before, one that was filled with alot of unexplainable emotion. He pulled away from her moments later and looked at her with a curve of his lips. "And your not as big of a bitch as you make yourself out to be." He told her, tracing her pink mouth with the tips of two fingers. "Actually you can be rather sweet." He said with a grin.

She chuckled under her breath and shook her head lightly. "Yeah, well don't get use to it."

They didn't know what would happen tomorrow or how everyone would react to what had just occured between them, but Holly J knew that she was ready for it, whatever it may be.

The End
