((Sorry to keep you waiting, had to do the family/holiday thing. I'm a professional chef so I get saddled w/ the cooking every year. so that meant a ton of prep work, cleaning and then dishes since my dishwasher broke ;( I hope if you celebrate Thanksgiving that you all had a great one and if you don't, i still hope you had a great week. As always I hope you enjoy ad I love reviews, I'll admit I'm shameless in hoping for them.I'm working on New Adventures, it's just that I'm not pleased with out this part keeps coming out, maybe I'll just post it and see if if it's all in my head. this is part 1 of a two part for J just so you know ))

J is for Jealousy

part 1

I'm not jealous of how the apostate monk always seems to put his hands on her or hug her close to him.

I'm not jealous of how easily Father Brown seems to talk with her. How she always smiles and seems excited to see him.

I'm not jealous of how Lin has come to quietly accept her, she's seemingly declawed the Foo Lion , and has tamed his hatred of her people.

I'm not jealous of how she turns to the priestess for comfort.

I"m not jealous of how Yasu's easy, joking conversations with her. How he makes her laugh and laugh.

All those could have been dealt with. I could have won her back from any of them.

No, it's my dead brother whom I'm jealous of. The girl I love loves him. The rest I could have handled.

No the person I'm jealous of is everything I am, and everything I'm not.

Hell I wouldn't chose me over Gene.

She'll never know though:that I love her, that if I could be the twin who smiles and is gentle I would be.

For her.
