Josh made coffee in the kitchen, every once and again glancing over to Shauna knowing what he was going to tell her was going to suck, he poured the boiling water into both their cups, swirled the spoon around in each other and brought them over to the table in the middle of the lounge. Joshes lounge room was pretty basic, chairs around a coffee table which is placed on a rug, a tv on a a shelf backed up against the biggest wall in the lounge room. Josh sat down next to Shauna and picked up his coffee taking a sip. He glanced over at her and she was looking back, holding her coffee mug with both hands, she was a bit shaky but she had always been nervous and shaky when she was worried. The Temptation of kissing her crossed his mind, but he dropped the thought straight away, he knew he had to tell her, so he begun.
"i have no idea how to even begin with this, i'm telling you this because she is your sister and i care about"
Josh took a deep breath and another sip of his coffee before he continued.
"I think Tori has been kidnapped by Umbrella"
Shauna's eyes shot up, the look of disbelief on her face made Josh feel even worse about what he was saying but he continued on.
"She was helping Umbrella with research on me, it was exactly what i was doing for Chief Irons but now i feel he was in with Umbrella all along"
Josh looked at Shauna and noticed the look of confusion on her face she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out but a gasp, she tried again.
"So you never loved Tori?" Shauna asked
Shit, the feelings talk now? should i just tell her how i feel now? no i shouldn't! great! gah! just answer and continue
"Honestly no, i was just doing my job, even though i've been regretting it since accepting it, the truth is i'm in love with someone else but right now i cant focus on that i need to focus on finding Tori!"
Josh takes a big gulp of his coffee and looks back up at Shauna, her eyes a wide and tears are sliding down her face, her hand now free after her coffee mug slipped from her hands and landed on the rug. She leaped over and grabbed Josh hugging him tightly, Josh responded by hugging her back, his mind all over the place with one simple hug, his stress lifted away, his stomach creating butterflies and his heart started pounding. Shauna pulled away resting her forehead on his and closed her eyes.
"I could feel your heart pounding" Shauna whispered with a smile.
Josh smiled back, realising his nerves were getting the best of him, she always had this effect on him, ever since the days from high school. Shauna opened her eyes and their eyes met, Joshes mind was losing a fighting battle with his heart. His mind was telling him no! His heart telling him yes! the conflict going on inside him was not helping with anything.
it was until Joshes phone rang that their gaze between each other was broken, Josh answered his phone and didn't say a word until he put the phone back down.
Josh was shocked with what he just heard, his thoughts about Shauna were now gone by the news.
"S.T.A.R.S. have been suspended" Josh informed Shauna.
Shauna didnt know how to respond to the S.T.A.R.S. being suspended, her thoughts wandered from the amazing moment she just had with Josh to the fact of what will happen to Tori now.
will there be an investigation on Tori and Umbrella? what can Josh do now?!
Josh stood up and started pacing up and down the lounge, something Josh would do when something was bothering him, she could tell he was thinking, of what exactly? She didn't know, she knew Josh very well, his favourite colour was Yellow, his birthday was the 30th of September, he loved pizza, he sucked at maths, his perfect date included snuggles in a warm bed with pizza and a movie, but she could never read his mind. She stood up, walked over to him and hugged him again tightly, she wanted the worry about Tori leave her and the worry Josh was having to leave him. The Temptation to kiss him was bad, but she knew now wasn't the time to kiss him or tell him how she felt towards him, how she has been thinking about being together, going out for dinner, having snuggles in bed with pizza and a movies, getting married and having kids with him. The idea of it all was perfect but at this point in time, it wasn't going to happen.
She stepped away from him and looked into his eyes for only second and looked back down to the ground.
"what do we do now?"
Josh looked up at her, she knew with the look on his face he had no idea what to do.
"i have no idea" Josh responded
He pulled her back into his arm, where she rested her head on her shoulders letting all her feelings go through her body.
As she walked out of the Airport terminal, she glanced at her phone and shook her head. She headed through the crowd of passengers and employes and continued until she was out of the Airport. The sunlight and fresh air hit her body, her long brown hair flowed in the breath, the sunlight hitting her skin which was covered by a white singlet top and blue jeans. She called over a taxi and waited for it to pull over, once pulled over she put her baggs in the back seat and jumped into the passenger seat.
"where would you like to go ma'am" the driver asked
The girl looked up, brushing her hair away from her eyes and smiled.
"Raccoon City"
