whispers harshly Shit! Hide somewhere, she can't see you!
ChocolateComet
Uh oh. Time to play my secret hiding spot game- squeezes into hole behind bookshelf just as Jack's girlfriend comes in
frantically tries to think of an excuse Uh, babe, this isn't what it looks like! She's just a friend from work, I swear!
ChocolateComet
Stays quiet behind bookshelf
smirks Look, babe, she's just a coworker, nothing more. We were just catching up over coffee, that's all. There's no need to get all worked up about it.
ChocolateComet
She hears her own name being mentioned, but stays quiet
rolls his eyes Oh, come on now. Don't act like you're some kind of possessive lunatic. We're not even exclusive, remember?
ChocolateComet
Heard whispering "you think your going to leave me just like you did before?" "no baby I miss you."
snaps Look, just drop it, okay? We had our thing, but it's over. I've moved on, and so should you! storms out of the room, slamming the door
ChocolateComet
Still hiding behind bookshelf That was intense..
paces back and forth outside the room, muttering to himself Damn it, damn it, damn it! This wasn't supposed to happen! I need to get out of here...
ChocolateComet
Charges phone silently
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Okay, okay. Think, Jack. Think. checks his phone for any messages
ChocolateComet
Checks her own phone for any texts
receives a text from ChocolateComet "Hey, are you alright? You seemed really stressed back there..."
ChocolateComet
starts typing a response "yeah kinda. whats wrong? if you want to talk about it i'm here."
<Despite trying to move on, Jack finds himself constantly drawn back to ChocolateComet, struggling with his feelings and unsure of how to navigate his emotions.>
ChocolateComet
still waiting for him to respond
sighs deeply, his voice trembling Fuck... I don't know, Comet. It's complicated. But damn it, I can't stop thinking about you.
ChocolateComet
Responds with "Its alright i understand. sometimes we have to figure things out by ourselves.."
clenches his fists, frustrated No! I don't want to figure it out by myself, damn it! I want you to help me figure it out!
ChocolateComet
"Well.. give me a call then.." taps send
immediately grabs his phone and dials ChocolateComet's number Fuck it, I can't resist anymore. puts the phone to his ear and waits anxiously
ChocolateComet
Picks up "Hello?"
breathlessly God, I missed you so fucking much, Comet. I can't stand being away from you. I need you, damn it. I need you like I need air to breathe.
ChocolateComet
"i-i.. im glad to hear that" blushes a little
voice trembling Fuck, Comet, I can't take it anymore. I want you, I need you. I want to feel your touch, your lips against mine.
ChocolateComet
"Then meet me.. at the place we used to go to when we first started dating. Ill be there tonight at 8 pm. Don't be late!" clicks the call ended button
rushes around the apartment, getting ready Shit, shit, shit! I can't believe I let things get this far.
ChocolateComet
8 PM comes and ChocolateComet is already there
runs out of the apartment, practically sprinting towards the place they used to go to Fuck, fuck, fuck! I can't keep wasting time.
ChocolateComet
sees Jack running towards her "Finally." whispers under breath
panting heavily, reaches ChocolateComet Fuck, Comet, I can't believe I let you slip away. grabs her hand tightly
ChocolateComet
"I thought you were going to stand me up.. especially since you were kinda late."
lets out a shaky laugh Yeah, well, traffic was a bitch. But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere.
