Chapter 39 - ROUND... oh.
As Barry was holding my arm back from slapping my jelly boyfriend, Ella was still passed out. She began to toss and turn in her bed, almost as if she could feel the negative energy radiating from the hallway. Pulling on the covers, it was clear that she wasn't having a great time.
As Barry told me to calm down, I looked at him, wriggling myself away from him. "Look, both of you, just sit on the fucking couch while I take a shit, alright?!", I shouted. "Come on,", Barry said to my jelly boyfriend, who was in the dark bathroom behind me. "Let's go." My jelly boyfriend nodded, giving me a look that said, "I just need to talk to you". When they were both out in the hallway, I shut the bathroom door, turning the light on.
Barry walked back to his game, to save it and quit. "How are we gonna tell him?", my jelly boyfriend explained. "Well, I think I know the easiest way to put it.", Barry replied. He motioned for my jelly boyfriend to come closer, so he did. He sat down next to Barry, who whispered into my jelly boyfriend's ear. "That's perfect!", my jelly boyfriend said.
As I sat there dropping the Cosbys off at the pool, I thought to myself. Maybe he doesn't believe in exclusive love. Then again, that's not how we live in regular society. He didn't seem to want to leave me for them... I looked down at the bathtub, doing a double-take at what I saw. Jelly. Residue. EVERYWHERE. Maybe he should calm down a little bit though... When I was done, I cleaned myself off, flushed the toilet, then opened the bathroom door.
As I walked out of the bathroom, I saw my jelly boyfriend sitting with Barry. I just walked in front of the T.V., crossing my arms. "Go ahead and explain yourselves", I said with a slightly annoyed tone in my voice. "Look, me and Ella, we've been... desperate, alright? We needed some way to get rid of that sexual tension, and Jelly's just trying to help us out, alright?", Barry explained. "It's clear that he's partial to you, but if we need help, Jelly's there to help us, so you yelling and trying to beat him aren't going to do any of us any good!"
*sigh* "You're right", I said to Barry. "My Jelly Boyfriend, I'm so sorry... will you please forgive me?", I asked. I looked at my jelly boyfriend, who was wearing a look of joy and relief on his face. "I do! I forgive you, baby!", he excitedly shouted, moving over to me, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Yay!", Barry yelled, clapping his hands.
"Just making sure... We're all good now, right?", he asked. "Yeah... we're all good now, I think", I replied, hugging my jelly boyfriend. "I was looking in the cardboard box in the guest bedroom and I found this game, let's try it!", barry said, holding up a copy of Secret of Mana. "Three players, just perfect!", I excitedly said, running over to Barry, taking a seat next to him and picking up a controller.
Ella calmed down in her sleep, slowing down as she began to wake up. Wha... what happened?, she thought to herself, looking around the bedroom.
