Chapter 2:
"Is something bothering you Iz, you seem a little out of it tonight," Don was curious of what was up with his girlfriend.
"I'm worried about Denver, she hasn't been acting herself the past couple of days."
"If something is wrong with Denver I think she would tell you Iz," Don smiled down at his girlfriend, they were at his apartment now. "Look, I know you have a thing for Denver, but she can make her own decisions."
"I do not have a thing for Denver," the petite woman crossed her arms.
"You can't lie to me Iz, you should know that. Ever since she got the job at the lab, you were trying to get her attention. You like her."
She ran a hand through her hair, "She has Danny now, and I have you. I'm over her Don."
"Good, because I don't like sharing you," he smirked, lowering his mouth down onto hers, pulling her into his bedroom.
"Danny, I'm a little tired tonight, we can always go out tomorrow."
"I kind of had something planned for tonight."
"I'm sorry Danny, but I'm just going to watch a little bit of tv and then go to bed."
"Alright good night Denver, I love you."
She inwardly groaned, it was the first time he told her that, "You too, good night Danny," she went back to the living room and sat down next to Adam with a frown. "He just said he loved me, I couldn't say it back. I'm a horrible person."
"You aren't a horrible person, just because you don't feel the same way about him. And hey, at least you didn't laugh at him when he told you that."
Denver's cheeks became flushed, "I still remember that. We were what, dating for six months and you came out and told me you were in love with me. I felt so bad for laughing at you, you were the first person to actually say that to me."
"See just because he said he loves you doesn't mean you have to say it just to make him feel good," he patted her hand.
"What would I do without you Adam?"
"I don't know you tell me."
"Hey, don't go being a smart ass Adam."
"You know you like me because I'm smart."
"Pretty handsome too," she leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I'm glad to have you back in my life."
"How you went eight years without me I don't even know."
"Shut up Adam," she elbowed him in the side. "So, what do you want to do now, we already had dinner."
"I do know of one thing I wouldn't mind doing."
"We aren't going to make out, if that's what you're thinking."
"I wasn't thinking that," he blushed.
"Yeah right Ross, you blushing tells me otherwise."
"I do have a girlfriend for that," he smirks, leaning over to grab the tv remote. "Hey look, Batman is on."
"Seriously Adam, Batman?"
"Hey at least it isn't Star Wars."
"Thank God, I honestly can't understand why guys like those movies so much."
"You seemed to enjoy Star Wars when we first started going out."
"I only watched Star Wars because it was our first official date, and you were excited to show me the movie. I didn't want to say no. I guess we can watch Batman," she rested her head on his shoulder and laid an arm across his chest.
"Getting a little comfortable, are ya?" he laughed, before kissing the top of her head.
"You're a good friend Ross, I love you."
"Love you too Sandusky," his hand ran up and down her arm. "Danny ever treat you like this?"
Denver looked up at Adam and shook her head, "He hasn't in a while, this closeness doesn't happen much, lately he just wants to have sex. It isn't the same anymore," she wiped her now damp eyes.
"Hey Den, please don't cry, he isn't worth the tears from what you're telling me."
"I just wish he understood me like you do, why'd I ever leave you?" she sniffed.
"I'm here now..." he whispered.
Isabella made it back to her apartment at seven the next morning. She unlocked the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind her.
"Yeah, Denver doesn't have feelings for Adam my ass," she looked at her best friend and the lab tech laying together on the couch, cuddled up under her fuzzy yellow blanket. Denver was laying on top of him, her head on his chest. His arm was wrapped around her waist.
Isabella pursed her lips as she eyed her yellow blanket and she wanted it back. Her mission to get the blanket was thrown off as her stomach growled before she could make one step.
"So glad I'm hungry," she mumbled as she went into the kitchen.
She got down on her knees to pull pans out from the cabinet, the noise banging around and hurting her ears.
"Shh!" she hissed as she closed the doors quickly.
"Izzy, what the hell is going on?" Denver groaned as she stepped into the kitchen. "Some people are trying to sleep."
"Just trying to make some breakfast," Isabella stood up and placed the pan on the stove. "You want some eggs or not?"
"Make me two scrambled, I gotta go see if Adam is alright," Denver shook her head at her best friend, leaving the kitchen.
The petite woman frowned at herself, "Come on, you have Don now," she ran a hand through her hair before, opening the fridge to get the eggs.
Denver saw Adam sitting up on the couch, "What's up with all the noise?"
"Just Izzy trying to make breakfast not so quietly, I swear she did it on purpose."
"She scares me a little bit."
She laughed as she patted his knee, "You'll get used to her, it just takes some time to adjust."
"How much time?"
"Depends on the person, it took me about two months before I was friends with Izzy. It took Danny being too persistant, driving me crazy for me to like her. She set him straight and I gained respect for her."
"She seems fiesty."
"One thing I love about her, is that she doesn't put up with anyone's shit. I can handle her pretty well."
"Den, your eggs are done," Isabella poked her head out from the kitchen.
"Alright shortie," Denver turned around and winked at the shorter woman. Isabella shook her head and completely went back into the kitchen. "Adam, you don't want anything to eat, do you?"
"Actually Denver, I should be going I promised Lexi that I'd pick her up this morning and take her out for breakfast."
"So, Lexi is the girl you are dating?"
"Yeah, it's going pretty good, I'll see you at work, okay?" he stood up, kissing Denver's cheek.
"Alright Adam, I'll see you then," she smiled up at him, before he put on his shoes and left the apartment.
"I thought you said you didn't have a thing for Adam," Isabella spoke as she was focused on making her own egg omelet.
"I know," Denver sat down in one of the chairs. "Can I tell you something?"
"Wait just a sec," she turned around quickly, looking at Denver, before putting the finishing touches on her omelet.
Moments later Isabella sat down her plate in front of her.
"I knew Adam a long time ago," Denver looked down at her plate, playing with her eggs with the fork. "I was 21 and got kicked out of my parents house, so then I had to live with my brother who was studying in Phoenix, Arizona and Adam lived with him," she stopped momentarily, glancing up at Izzy who gave her a look that meant continue. "After a while me and Adam started fooling around, then we dated just after I finished up the second semester."
"Why didn't you ever tell me this?" Isabella asked, taking a bite of her omelet.
"Because when I got a job at Philadelphia, me and Adam were still dating and he told me to take the job. We dated a little over three years. It was hard for me to leave him, and now he's back in my life, and it's too much handle."
Isabella laid a hand on top of Denver's, "That must be horrible, I'm sorry."
"It is, and you don't have to be sorry Iz," she sighed.
"Sounds like you really like him."
"I do, I loved him Izzy, I don't know if I can go through with heartbreak again."
"I don't think he's going to break your heart Den, plus I'm always here for you babe," she gave her best friend a small smile. "The only person you have to worry about getting hurt is Danny."
