"Calm down," Jerome shook his head, sliding his hands into his jean pockets as they both stood in the lobby of the fancy restaurant. He was dressed perfectly, impeccably, he looked like a model straight out of a glossy magazine. Unfortunately, Patricia wasn't seeing his appeal. She flicked her dark red hair back, and pulled down on her black dress, enjoying the feel of the cool leather jacket on her arms.
"Calm down? Are you blind, Jerome? Eddie and Mara are spending way too much time together," she shook her head.
"It's like you don't know them," he shook his head "Mara would never cheat-"
"What? You mean like kissing you when she was still dating Mick?" she cut in, eye brows raising expectantly. Jerome shut his mouth, teeth gritting together, his jaw locking. His defence strategy kicked in, and suddenly his face, which had gone from friendly teasing and reassuring, turned into a blank and cold one. His blue eyes flashed angrily, the only tell.
"Hey guys," Eddie grinned, Mara waved shyly, and immediately Jerome stood tall, eyes widening at her. She looked stunning, dressed in a red dress that hugged her body perfectly.
"Mara," he whispered, moving over to her, and wrapping an arm around her protectively.
"Yacker," Eddie grinned at her "Looking lovely as always," Patricia managed a smile at him, and the four of them walked to dinner.
Line Break
"Alright that is it!" Mara cried "What on earth is wrong with the both of you?" she looked between Jerome and Patricia who were sat opposite each other "You're acting like children!"
"He started it," Patricia whined, turning to Eddie "Didn't he start it?"
"You kinda started it," Eddie nodded. Jerome rolled his eyes
"She's got you well trained hasn't she Sweetie?" Jerome hissed "Anyway, I wouldn't go defending her, she thinks your cheating on her with Mara!"
"What?!" Eddie and Mara cried in unison, turning to Patricia in utter shock. Patricia smiled at them slightly
"I guess that means you're not…." She smiled sheepishly. Embarrassed. Jerome rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair, victorious.
Line Break
"Seriously Hermione? You thought I was with Mara?" he pressed his nose against hers "You are so adorable."
Patricia rolled her eyes and resisted the urge to be the one to lean forward first. "Can you blame me? You always spend time with her,"
"We're on the journalist team," he pointed out, smiling "Just admit it, you're jealous, and you're jealous, because you love me," he almost sang the last bit. Patricia sighed, and punched him lightly in the stomach
"Yeah creep-wad, that's what it is, love," but she leaned in and kissed him softly.
Line Break
"You didn't think that did you?" Mara asked, removing her bracelet and placing it onto her dressing table. "That I was with Eddie?"
Jerome shook his head "Why would I? I trust you completely," Mara smiled warmly at him, unclasping her necklace.
"Good,"
"…y-you're not are you?" Jerome asked, his voice cracking ever so slightly. Mara spun round
"Jerome!"
"What?!"
She laughed, moving to sit beside him "Of course not. We were only late because the printer stopped working. And other than that, I hardly ever speak to him! Relax Jerome, I love you,"
Jerome turned to look down at her, and half smiled "Love you more," and he pressed his lips down to hers.
Prompts!
