She woke up with his hand on her chest. Felt nice before getting up but naughty afterwards. He was deep in his sleep that he didn't feel her take his hand away. Felt guilty for letting it stay there while frozen.
Jen was in for a long extended conversation, she had been running from it for a while now. The air in the room was devious, as if hell would break loose soon.
Maybe she needed to get it through to him, the chance was not always available – they don't get to sit on the table for breakfast that easily.
Jen knew how messy it can be, mostly when it concerns her , which it did. The bloodbath she was sensing was coming her way, her heavy eyebrows from deprived sleep were sensing it.
She had a short but fruitful sleep. She hated to admit it but never gets better than waking up next to him. It is not sexual at all, she just appreciates it. Never fails to remind herself that, the truth as she knows it
She is still thankful for him not finding out about it. Sad that she had to leave his warm bed when all it did was call for her stay, maybe in another life she would have stayed until he was up. She should have migrated to guest bedroom in the night, she extended the invite.
They had slept under the same roof before. First time was his first day there, he hosted the biggest party there is and invited her. Technically, he was the one hosting it on his behalf.
They stayed until five in the morning talking and ended up spending the night in the guest bedroom. That's when she decided to bring her clothes for instances like that. They have done it more but respecting each other's privacy.
He also have slept in her house as well. He has a room there too. He used to sleep in there when she was kicked out of her family's mansion. They used to be roommates, he had to get away from her. He didn't want to bring girls in her house to rub it in her face. It was a move for the better.
She took the shower and changed before ordering breakfast. She had it all done when he sudden came outside the bedroom with his shirt off. He was pissed off by her and so although noticed what had happened he still didn't seem appreciative. She didn't do it for thanks from him. She did it because he needed her as his friend.
They weren't seeing eye to eye, which was expected considering their shaky relationship from Jen's lie. The table was quite quiet that morning, you could have heard him provocatively swallow that muffin. She hated the sound of it
It's not like Gunn was a saint himself, he had made himself vulnerable for the two weeks. He has been drinking and sleeping around with whomever he saw from those exclusive parties he gets invited to each day. She was mad about that, him not giving the company his full time and focus. She can barely manage it.
He wasn't going to glue his ass on that chair and act as if all was right between them. He was sober. He had to say what they both were too afraid to talk about.
His only wrong was that he didn't wait for her to finish taking her breakfast. He had to make a mess.
Having Jen in closed doors meant that his anger and confrontations would be best served there. He was pissed off, had been for two weeks now. Since he found out about her and that moron,he had warned her of. He knew that she was running from the truth, she hated talking about it.
Before he laid his hands on her . Thanks God Gunn was there in time to save her- who knows what could have happened? She tends to have forgotten about that in order to go back to him for second dose of his toxic behaviours.
They beat him up though as a group, not before he hit Jordan like a witch. It was on a fight challenge. That's where their rivalry started. Jen started if back then and Gunn gave the guy his share of trouble. They hit him really good too.
Jen will never forget about that. She was so proud of him as her friend and also heartbroken that she caused the fuse. She now has ignited it and Gunn did his part. Who knows what is cooking inside that fucker's mind? What if he decides to take revenge on Gunn with his goons as he had done before? Jen was afraid of that to happen, that's why she had been texting with him . To cool him down a bit.
Gunn cleared his throat, he took a deep sip from his coffee cup then said," I don't despise you, you know that "
Jen nodded, too afraid to look at him , too ashamed to look away. Her appetite escaped from the table, only her truth would remedy for their broken ties. It was hard to tell but a must.
Gunn started soft, "I hope you don't condone what I did to him, he sure deserved it and more.
You are the one who's causing the collusion, have you ever thought about what you want. Is it relationship with him or friendship with me, cause I can't quite figure that out?(he was losing it by second)
If you told me about it beforehand, you know I could have convinced you otherwise. I don't hate him just because he is a jerk, he truly knows how to hurt people.
You of all should remember that, he hurt you. You were there when we first collided, it didn't end up well.", Gunn was trying to keep his composure, inside he was burning with furry.
His darkened eyes were all she needed to look at to find out what he was feeling at the moment, she couldn't look at him.
"But he didn't hurt you, I can handle my affairs by myself. Do you think it's fair for you to show up and beat every guy I go out with?
Cause that is exactly what happened with him and the other one before, is it justified?", she asked. Her fury manifesting from commanding voice.
He had beaten up another guy? What was the reason,?
She made Gunn loose it. Was she that blind when the actions were clear? She made his guts twist with pain, bringing momentum to shut her bullshit.
"Fuck! Why must it be with jerks like them? Aren't there better guys out there although not fit for you? You know how I feel about Jordan, you know our history, bit still… what's wrong? Uh?", he routed.
" I'm sorry I opened up yet another fight for you with him, but, do you not know your limits?
I had already ended things with him before you found out, but you went on and beat him up anyways, classic Gunn.(her inner beast was up as well)
Why can't you solve anything with arbitration, why make it bloody ?
I hate him as well more than you know.
If you let me explain first you could have known that nothing happened this time. He promised to have changed. We just went out for a couple of drinks with his friends.
Is that worth the stitches I heard he had to get? What if he decides to get you back? Did you think that far, of the consequences of your guts? You remember last time."
" Don't fool me, he confessed it himself, what he did back there at the party or whatever you were at. Why didn't you tell me?", his voice was more commanding than ever.
"I don't know Gunn! Maybe because I knew what could happen, do you think I want his blood on my hands?
Do you think I didn't -for every second -think about telling you? I didn't want his fucking blood on me, because I knew what you would do.
I saw the look from our corporate lawyer, he sued you. Do you think I wanted for that to happen again? You lied about that bit, why? Uh?", she asked raising her voice to match his.
"You did it Jen. You fucking did it, the time you decided to go behind my back and fuck that fucking moron.
Was it to get back at me? Uh? ", Gunn lost it.
He grabbed the table cloth and threw every content of that table in the air. Before they crashed. Jen raised from her seat.
"I said this shit again, I didn't fucking do it . I … I didn't fuck him…nothing hap-happened. Nothing! Nothing Gunn, fucking nothing! "she shouted.
"I don't lie to you Jen, you know that so don't fucking do it to me.
I'll ask you one more time, don't do it ?
Did you intend to fuck him? ", roaring.
"Wh-what?", she asked shedding tears.
"I thought so, why did I fucking bother to ask, uh? You wanted to, if he didn't show his demonic colors you would have.
You like him? I fucking knew it", he concluded, now closer to her and double pissed off. Blood veins all over his bare hands. He was feeling like he had to do something, the range was too much to control.
He held her face with his two hands staring straight into her red eyes with his devious ones "Again, if I hear that he was close to you again, I'll break his fucking legs", he guaranteed before closing the final distance between them.
Jen slapped him hard on the cheek , he touched his cheek before grabbing her by the waist. He flew her to the side against the wall as if going to crucify her , she fought- throwing kicks and punches on him.
