What Are We?
Two weeks later
"I can't believe him," Emily says as she paces the living room angrily, "two weeks and you haven't had a single phone call?"
I shake my head, "Not one."
It had been exactly two weeks today since that moment happened between me and Damon and he hasn't called me. I've tried to call him a few times but it's always gone straight to voicemail, I love messages asking him to call me back but he hasn't.
"What an arse," Emily sighs.
"I knew it was a one time thing to get over Avery...he's probably embarrassed about it or feels bad or something," I shrug.
I am really hurt, but I can't blame him. If it was just to get over Avery then I hope it's helped him move on...even if it did mess with my emotions. I just wish I could talk to him and tell him how I feel before he moves on from what happened with us, that is if he hasn't already.
"If that's the case he won't have anything to put inside some other girl because I'll rip that shit off," Emily says, true rage in her voice.
"Em, I appreciate your...methods of dealing with this but I just want to talk to him about it," I say.
"Okay," she says, smiling slightly.
"Want to watch a film?" I ask, walking towards the shelves full of our huge collection, "it might take my mind off things."
"Sure, what are you in the mood for?" She asks, joining me.
I look through the huge collection, reading various titles until my eyes land on 'The Goonies'. I pull the film out and hand it to Emily.
"Good choice," she nods.
I smile and sit back on the couch as she places the film inside the player and the TV screen illuminates and the film plays.
I need something to take my mind off Damon.
-
"What the fuck do you want?" Demands a very angry Emily at Damon who stands at the other side of the door, peering at me as I sit on the couch, not particularly wanting to talk to him.
"I need to talk to her, I know it's been a while b-" he begins but is then cut off be Emily.
"Two weeks!" She shouts, "and not even a phone call for fucks sake!"
"Please, Em-"
"I don't want to hear it!" She yells.
The two of them continue to argue as I sit on the couch, wondering if I should talk to him or not. I sit with my arms folded, looking at Damon. He catches me looking at him and he smiles sadly.
"I love her, Emily," he sighs, looking at me.
I smile softly at him, my heart warmed by those three words. Emily glances at me and rolls her eyes at Damon as she opens the door, allowing him to enter the flat. He nods to silently thank her as he walks past her and over to the couch. My eyes follow him as he moves and he cautiously sits down next to me.
"I'll be in the kitchen," Emily says, making a dramatic exit from the living room.
"Hey..." he says, smiling awkwardly.
"Cut the shit Damon, it's been two fucking weeks, why haven't you even called?" I say, not sure how to feel.
There is a long pause, then he speaks, "I...was afraid...I thought maybe you did still love James or may have regretted what happened between us...it all happened so fast and I thought tha-"
"Damon," I say, interrupting him, "why didn't you just call me? We could've talked about it."
"Like I said, I was afraid...I wanted to give you some time to think through what happened," he explains, "I'm sorry for leaving it so long...I wanted to thing though what happened too. I love you, Jess, I really do."
I smile and take his hand in mine, "What happened...I don't regret it at all, because I love you too. Everything I said that night was true."
"So was everything I said," he says, bringing his free hand to my cheek.
I smile softly at him and lean forward, connecting our lips. The same electricity bursts to life as he holds me. We break the kiss and he pulls me into his lap, I laugh as he does and sit with my arms around his neck. We look into each others eyes and our playful expressions become serious.
"What are we, Damon?" I ask.
He blushes, "Erm...will you be my girlfriend?"
I grin, "of course!"
He smiles and kisses me again. I'm so happy that after all these years of loving him quietly I can finally do it out loud.
"I see you two have made up," Emily laughs, causing us to break our kiss and turn to her.
"You could say that," I laugh.
"So...are you two finally together?" She asks, grinning excitedly.
Me and Damon glance at each other and nod sheepishly. Emily screams in excitement and me and Damon giggle at her.
"I'm going to tell everyone!" She exclaims.
"If you don't mind, we'd like to tell everyone..." Damon says cautiously.
"Oh! Yes! Silly me I'm just so excited!" She giggles.
"Bless your soul," I laugh, shaking my head.
"I'm going to make some tea," Emily says as she disappears off into the kitchen, smiling happily to herself.
"You have one awesome best friend," Damon laughs.
