“ does it still hurt?” I questioned jess scrunching up my nose looking at jess covering her bruises with makeup.
“ no, it doesn't,” she said looking at the makeup kit, but I could see the slight flinch on her face, why was she hiding all the pain, I don't know what she was trying to do or get from hiding all this from me.
“ Are you seriously not going to tell what happened that night? ” I asked folding my hands over my chest leaning against the wall trying to keep calm.
“ I already told you, my foot slipped and I tripped falling through the stairs,” she said looking at me through the mirror casually.
I sighed in annoyance “ fine, who the hell is Philip?, where was he all these years?, why dint I know you were married? ” I walked angrily standing next to her looking at her directly she ignored me still doing her makeup looking at the mirror.
One thing I learned about jess all these years being with her is whenever she did not want to talk about something or is hiding something she ignores you. So by doing this she was only making it more prominent that something is wrong.
“ jess...? You still not going to talk. ” I asked looking at her while she kept ignoring me.
“ fine. You don't have to, it's your choice. Do what you want to do .” I said walking towards my office.
I was pissed, angry why was I even trying to help her out, she doesn't even care.
Angrily sipping on my coffee, I started flipping the documents. I sighed in annoyance leaning back calming myself.
Why was I making this about me, it is she who is hurt, she must be the one to be angry. At this point, I should make her feel better, she has to know whenever she feels lonely I would be there for her.
I made her a cup of coffee taking it to her office, leaning against the door with a smile I said: “ would you mind having a cup of coffee, with a not-so-good friend ” she leaned back in her chair smiling playing with a pen in her hand.
“ hmm... Na not interested ” she said turning back getting to her work.
My face dropped, I turned around going back to my office I turned around as I heard jess laughing “ I was just joking get in here ”. She said waving her hands.
“you're such a pregnant cow,” I said chuckling walking towards her.
“ Are we still on trying not to cuss? ” she said rolling her eyes.
“ till my last breath,” I said handing her the coffee.
She laughed out, finally, I could see the old relaxed jess back.
“ wait I forgot to tell you, we are going house hunting for Damon crystal, drew, and Lexi and you are coming with us,” I said wiping my mouth with a tissue.
“ Those guys are here? When did they get here ?” she questioned squinting her eyes.
“ hmm around late yesterday evening..” I said making a thinking face. Hmm she hummed getting back to work I knew she was trying to get out of it but I wasn't going to allow her.
“be ready at around five, we'll get you,” I said running out before she could say something. The least I could do for her at this point is to not let her feel alone.
************************************
“ I am just going for house hunting ” I whined as Duncan wrapped me with almost all the clothes in my closet looking like I was growing clothes all over my body.
