Chapter 8

Ianto felt guilty and mad after having sex with Lisa, not only because he had thought about Jack as he had his orgasm, but also because he oddly enough felt like he had cheated. Not on Lisa, they were over, but he felt like he had cheated on Jack. This made him so angry, how could this man have invaded my head and my heart? Ianto tried not to think about all of this or of Jack, as he helped Lisa load everything in the car and saw her off. She had told him afterwards that she was happy they had had sex, they both needed the release and the distraction, this made him feel less guilty about it, because he knew she was right, it had been exactly what they both needed. The rest of the weekend, he kept busy, running and playing rugby, to keep himself from thinking about Jack.

On Monday morning he met Gwen in his office.

'Good morning, love. How are you? Did everything go okay with Lisa's move?' Gwen asked.

Ianto glared at her and went into his office and closed the door.

'What's wrong Ianto, aren't you ok with the separation pet?' she said as she followed him in and moved much too close for his comfort.

Ianto could feel the anger bubble inside him and found that he just couldn't restrain himself. His anger had been building up the entire weekend and he hated Gwen for kissing Jack, for doing that to Rhys (and to him).

'Shut up, Gwen! Why can't you ever leave things alone? How could you do it? How the fuck could you do that to Rhys?'

She looked at him, with a confused look on her face, before asking him

'What exactly is it that I've done?'

'God, Gwen, you are so stupid! Rhys is my friend, and I thought you were too, but I can't not choose sides on this can I? I find you snogging the boss, of course I'm upset! Do you expect me to betray my friendship with Rhys? What'

He was about to continue but stopped when he saw a smile on her face, this enraged him even more and he was about to shout at her when she told him about the party.

'Oh, Ianto, you know I'd never hurt Rhys! I love him more than anything!'

'So, what the hell were you doing snogging Jack on the floor?'

'Ianto, we fell over, I had had much too much to drink and I snogged Jack… I also snogged Suzie a little later… So it wasn't to move in on the boss, I can tell you that… You know how I get when I drink too much, I might get a bit clingy, for God's sake, I've snogged you too! And Rhys knows about it, I told him all about my snogs with Jack and with Suzy when he came to pick me up, and we laughed about it. You know me Ianto, I would never hurt Rhys, never go any further than flirting a bit and the odd snog! You know that, you know me! Why did you get so worked up about this now?'

Ianto had calmed down slightly as she had been talking, and realized she was right, even the two of them had snogged on occasion and he suddenly knew this was only because of his jealousy about Jack.

'I'm sorry Gwen, I didn't think… It just, maybe snogging the boss isn't the best idea, it might give him ideas…' he said, trying to come up with an excuse.

'Oh, Ianto, I don't think so pet, he seems to be interested in someone completely different.' She said and smiled at him before leaving his office.
