Chapter 8: TOW All the confusion

Couple days after our date I still hadn't heard back from Jes I have seen her school, but she hasn't talked me more than few words. She seemed that she wasn't there even if she wasn't there. I wasn't sure what should I do. After school we were sitting at the cafe shop but not much talking was going on all of our thoughts were on certain person.

"Did I seriously misjudge this so badly?" I broke the silence

"You wanted to help, Jes wasn't ready. What I heard before you silenced me, I wouldn't want it for anyone. I don't know what they talked afterwards, but I have a feeling that Jes now in a place she doesn't want to be. I think she still thinks we would judge him if she was out and open." Alex said

"Your dating my cousin, I date my dads ex-wifes kid and she thinks we would judge her? Doesn't make much of sense..."

"But still we both still date boys, you know the whole traditional boy/girl thing. She's still dating a girl if she goes trough with this" Alex reminded me

"Do you have any ideas? I mean any at all?" I asked with mixed feelings

"I think best thing now is just to wait something to happen... She will talk to us sooner or later, we have to trust that. I think just abaut the worst thing now would be to try mix things up even more..." Alex said

"What if she does something to herself? I could not forgive myself if something happens to her" I said sadly

"She still comes to school still looks, physically just fine so we know that everything on the top is okay... Her mom will tell us if she notices something wrong. Face it Emma there is nothing we can do right now. " Alex tried to assure me

Right at that moment an idea or atleast some answers walked in door: Melissa. Could she have some info that what has happend? Well better ask...

"Hey Melisssa over here" I shouted

"Well just the person I was looking for. Hey Emma." Melissa said

"Well I quess a little introductions could be in order so Melissa, Alex, Alex, Melissa" I said

"Well nice to meet you, hope it would be other circumstances though" Alex said and they shook hands

"Likewise. And trust me I hope that too. I'd love to have the third one of you guys here as well..." Melissa sighed

"So I'm guessing that it's not just us who she's,running away from?" I asked

"Nope she isn't, at the moment she's mostly runing away from her feelings. And trying to avoid you guys or me. I want tell you guys that, that girl means alot to me, and I would love to be with her, but I'm not willing to hide. She is everything I look in the girls. And most other girls wont come even close, or if they do they are into guys. I've been out of the closet almost half year now. I have no desire to go back 's why this is so painful. I know exactly what she's going through, she's just making this a thousand times more dramatic than it has any need to be. I hope you guys let me date her if we can help her" Melissa sighed again

" You can count on it. but first we could use some idea what to do right now...Why don't you begin by telling us: what exactly happend between you two night before? " I asked while having a feeling that there is more to this than to the eye and I'm rarely wrong with this feeling

"Well I assume that Alex knows the basics and I don't have to hide anything." Melissa wanted to make sure

" I think I have told the whole story up until when you guys went to talk private so if I've missed something, I'm sorry in advance." I said looking Alex

"It's okay. On with the story..." Alex said anxiously.

" Well as you know I showed up as then we went on our own..." Melissa began

Melissas pov

"If you still try to hide something I can say that this is just abaut worst possible solution to this problem..." I said

" What do you want, why are you here?" Jes asked

" Stop asking stupid questions please... You know why am I here and you know what I want."

"I mean why are you here now? Have you found someone else? If you have I don't care, atleast then I know you were never serious with me... If you still want me then I have nothing new for you unless you want to date secret..."

" Dont say that you don't care becouse you and I both know that's not true, I know it would hurt you deeper than you can imagine if I dated someone else. I don't go back to closet and I'm taking you out of there one way or another. I want you, I don't think there is anyone available that comes even close to you as a person that I want... But if you really don't care I can start searching... It's really up to you. As long as I'm not dating I'm waiting for you, but don't think you are the only girl in this world..." I warned

Jessica startted to leave, but I decided to play one more card before giving up...

"You know, I had a little talk with Emma couple days ago..." I shouted to her

She stopped and turned arround. Clearly scared

"Wait, you did what? Didn't I tell you that I want to tell her myself when I feel like it? Please tell me you didn't tell her abaut us?" At this point she was pretty much in panic

" I didn't have to tell her. She allready pretty much knew abaut you. Appearently you had spoken abaut her instead of him when talking abaut crush And when you talked abaut her you were clearly more honest so she told atleast. Well she figured the rest pretty much right way. And me coming filled the rest for her. You should know that she's not stupid. And of course when I told our little story she wanted to help..." I startted

"So this wasn't just a random meeting... I should have known there is more to this, she had no reason to invite me, she only needed Erica..." She startted to realize

"Love blinded you... You know what since Emma and I did kind of jerkish thing on you, I'm willing to to lower my conditions on our dating... Tell Emma and Alex yourself, I think after tonight even Alex knows. You can tell your mom whenever. That's the only thing I am asking anymore. Please Jessica I want to be with you, I love you, please tell me that you will do it." I asked

A little whisper came moment later...

"Fine you've got it. I'll tell them, I promise." She said and tried to leave

"Wait, I want you to give something for you. Something to engourage you so you don't get scared. If you do then remember this" I said

End of flashback

Emmas pov

"I grabed her to deep kiss and to my amazement she kissed back like no tomorrow. I thought that she had won her fears. I was surprised when she hadn't contacted me in these days and well I quess you pretty much know the rest..." Melissa sighed

"But why didn't she. She knows that we know, she knows we don't care. What is holding her back?" I said

" To be honest I've got no clue. But I need to go to the bathroom so I'll be right back" Melissa said

Moments after Melissa got out of sight a familiar figure came to the shop: Jessica. We looked at eachother with Alex and decided to tease her a little after what she did. Jessica even came to our table like nothing had happen.

"H-hi guys what's up?" Jes startted

"Do we know this girl? She somehow looks familiar but I have trouble to remember where I've seen her..." I startted

"I don't know I think this girl is the one who thinks best way to solve problems is to run away from them. Even when she knows that she has 2 friends to help with these kind of things" Alex continued the teasing

" Okay guys enough, I'm sorry okay? I just needed to think things through before I continued this any further. I know you guys wont mind me dating a girl but still..."

"You should know that, we don't judge you no matter what. As long as your happy that's all that matters. So have you talked to Melissa yet?" Melissa walked behind her as I asked that

"Well no not yet. Do you guys know where I could find her? I think I still owe her one thing... Wait what are you smiling abaut?" Jes asked noticing that something is going on

"Well why don't you look behind you and see for yourself?" She heard a familiar voice from behind

" Melissa..." Jes began

" So I'm guessing we're done hiding huh? What is this I see no fear or uncertainty in you, it's almost like you're proud to be what you are..." Melissa began but got silenced by a deep kiss from Jes

"Well did that leave any questions? And by the way I dont hide from anyone anymore, that includes my mom..." Jes said

"Wow have to say that didn't see this coming when I woke up this morning. Well I guess this means that you got yourself a girlfriend now... I hope you don't have any regrets...

"Well actually I have one regret... And I hope you can forgive me for it" Jes said

"Well tell me and I think abaut it" Melissa said smiling like she could guess what Jes was abaut to say

" The only regret is that I didn't do this when you told me abaut your feelings... I shouldn't have fought it" Jes said

"Hey don't worry. I know far too well what you just went trough. Hardest part is allways to admit it to yourself. It's natural to fight. Atleast you got what you wanted at the end unlke me on my first time. That's why I was so affraid, not for me but for you... By the way I'm still gonna kick your ass at regional qualifiers." Melissa said changing subject

" Only in your dreams. This made me so much stronger that I probably wont even break a sweat if we face eachother. If I were you, I would prepeare to bring your A game otherwise you don't stand a chance." Jes said with confidence

"Fine but don't worry you can come cry to me when you lose..." Melissa said with a thoughtful voice.

"Thanks for the offer and I think I can offer same." Jes said

"Appearently somethings never change" I said

"Love is one thing but judo is still another we're still rivals and nothing changes that" Jes said

"Well I guess I look forward to see this..." Alex said

"Wow you're coming too? I knew that Emma wouldn't miss this in the world but you too?" Melissa said

"Oh believe me after this there is no way I will miss it. Not after tonight. I guess I have some rules to learn but that's okay" Alex said exited

"Well I guess we could leave these two love birds on their own for now. They deserve it. So I see you later and expect to hear everything..." I said to Jes

"Fine I'll see you guys later and by the way thanks Emma I couldn't have done this without you, I owe you big time." Jes said

"Hey I know if it would have been other way around you would have found a way to do exactly the same. You don't owe me anything. We're a team and this is what we do." I said back

It took while me to realise the fact that all three of us were dating. Just couple weeks ago none of us was. And what's wierder the only couple who didn't hide from anyone was the lesbian couple. I still wanted to tell mom and dad before their 10th anniversary which was just couple months away and what I had heard from Alex she pretty much had same idea. I still needed to figure out a plan. Little did I know that sooner than I thought, there was no problem...
