Thanks for the feedback! It's always appreciated and I have tried to improve some of my work. Please keep the reviews coming in!
Just so you know , I've decided to set this after The Killing, Kerry doesn't know about Hannah or Becky ( the affair James had in Maximum Security ) or that he dated Johanna. Kerry and James are currently dating.
"Oh, uh nothing." James says. I notice for a trained agent, his lying is really poor. Kerry's expression looks as though she is thinking the same thing.
" This is Johanna- Johanna, this is my girlfriend Kerry" He says, looking awkwardly between us.
Kerry has a forced smile on her face. I hold my hand up, a gesture of peace. She reluctantly shakes it, whilst staring in my eyes.
"So, how did you get that black eye?" Kerry asks, looking suspicious.
"Johanna pushed me of my chair and punched me in my face ," James says. Kerry's lips are now pursed, glancing between James and me with suspicion.
"So an untrained girl managed to punch you in the face, as well as push you of a chair"? She asks disbelievingly.
"I sprained my wrist last week remember ; and I was caught of guard," James responds defensively, " even ask Bruce if you don't think it's true." Kerry holds a laughter, then smiles at me.
"So your new?" She asks me.
"Yeah, I've literally just been told that I can do Basic Training in a Month or two." I reply.
She nods
"Basic Training is tough, but ignore the stories, rumours and just focus. "
I smile at this. After a bad first impression, Kerry actually seems ok.
"Let's go to the hangout" James says, looking happy that me and Kerry are getting on.
Bruce greets us as we go in, but his eyes are focused on the screen. I can see he is involved in a game of FIFA on his Xbox.
Kerry and James are playing on a laptop together, so me and Bruce are almost alone.
His hands are twitching more than usual on the controller and he looks uncomfortable. He pauses the game and says
"So, are we, you know, still together or whatever?" I smile, then lean towards him and kiss him on the cheek.
"I don't see why not," I say. Bruce grins, hands me a Xbox controller and then we play a game of Fifa together.
After a while, Kerry and James come back and we watch a Kerry goes to get some chocolate and crisps, Bruce puts my arm around me and kisses me on the lips.
"Wait, you two are still dating?" James asks, looking peeved.
"Why wouldn't we be?" I say. James responds by frowning at me.
" no reason" he says quickly.
Bruce continues to kiss me, which soon turns to snogging.
"God you two, give it a rest," James complains
"What's it to you, man?" Bruce asks.
"I just don't want you and Johanna's tongues down your throats all the time, that's all," James says defensively. Too defensively.
"If you have still got feelings for her, I want to know - now." I can feel Bruce's muscles tense a little.
James fakes a bewildered face,
"Course I don't!"
"Good." Bruce snaps.
After some awkward silence, I listen to my iPod.
I can hear Bruce and James discuss football and moan about different teachers.
Then, much to my displeasure, they briefly talk about previous girlfriends.
"How do you get so many girls man? I mean you snogged Becky, you dated Johanna and Hannah, you were with April and your now dating Kerry" Bruce hasn't realised Kerry had come back long enough to hear the last sentence.
"Who is Becky, and you didn't tell me about dating Johanna!" She says. Bruce and James jump, it's not long before James plays the innocent card.
"I dated Johanna a year or two ago, its history." James says, squirming in his seat.
"And Becky?" Kerry asks.
"Uh, that was, like, on a mission ,a year ago?" He says.
"Hannah?"
"I dated her , a month or two ago?"
"James, you finished your mission three weeks ago."
"Well, three weeks ago, then." James was starting to get annoyed, I can't help but find this funny. This was going to get interesting!
