Revival

Chapter Seventeen

A couple of weeks have gone by, with very limited contact with Justin.
Since you two were talking some time away, you wanted to make sure the rules were set.

It was just the beginning of August now.
A beautiful Tuesday morning.

You and Jeremy were going out today, just to have a picnic at the park.
Yes Jeremy.
You still hadn't built up the courage to tell him about what had happened.

He's been your best friend, and you knew that telling him would ruin that.
Yet you knew that if you came clean with him, maybe over time he'd frogive you.
But if he were to find out from someone else, there was no chance of that.

You sat on the couch, as you waited for him to pick you up for lunch.
He finally arrived at around 11:30.
You got up, bringing your purse with you.
He opened the door, a little startled that you were there.

Jeremy- you scared me..

He laughed, as did you.

You- I'm sorry bubby..

Jeremy- it's okay babe..

He gave you a kiss on the cheek.

Jeremy- ready?

You- yes..

You walked out the door, and to his pickup.
He quickly ran up, opening the door for you.

You- thank you sir..
Jeremy- my pleasure..

He acted as he was tipping his hat off to you.

You watched, as he closed the door, heading over to his side, and getting in.

You- I'm so excited..
You squealed.

Jeremy- me too..
He placed his hands on yours, while he drove.

The past few weeks, you were trying your hardest to figure out what was right.
You loved Jeremy, but you didn't know whether you just loved him as a friend, and were deceiving yourself by thinking otherwise.
But at the same time, your feelings for Justin were getting stronger and stronger.
Yet you were keeping it inside.
You hardly ever showed Justin that you were really starting to like him, aside from the s*x.
Expect that time you slipped up by sending him 'love you'.
But besides that, you hadn't shown that you were interested in Justin.

You were brought out of your thoughts, when Jeremy started saying your name.
You looked over at him.

You- yes?
Jeremy- we're here..

You looked around, out the window, seeing that you were at the park.

You- ohh.. yes we are..

You then got out of the pickup.
Jeremy reached into the back, grabbing the blanket.

Jeremy- can you carry this?
You nodded.
You-sure..
He then grabbed the cooler, and the picnic basket.
Jeremy- all set..
You- do you need help?
Jeremy- I got it.. thank you tho honey..
He leaned down to you, giving your lips a small kiss.
You- you're welcome..

He started walking, with you following.

You loved kissing Jeremy.
Yet it made you feel disgusted with yourself, knowing that you weren't giving him your all.

Once you both got to the spot he wanted, you laid out the blanket.
With his help of course.

Jeremy- perfect..

He stood with his hands on his hips, looking around the park.
You sat on the blanket, pulling the basket close to you.

You- you hungry now?
Jeremy- I suppose I might be..
He smiled, sitting next to you.

After you two finished eating, you snuggled on the blanket for a while.

You- I'm so full..
You patted your stomach, with your head rested on his chest.

Jeremy- I am too..
He played with your hair gently.

"Y/n?"

You quickly sat up, hearing a familiar voice.
Your eyes grew wide, as you saw Justin walking towards you.

You- oh shit..
You mumbled to yourself.

Jeremy was up as well, looking from you to Justin.

Justin- hey..
You- hi..
You spoke shyly, squinting your eyes because of the sun.
Justin looked down at the items.

Justin- having a picnic?

He wasn't even giving Jeremy any attention, he just watched you, as if no one else was around.

You- yeah..
Jeremy stood up.
Jeremy- may I ask who you are?

Justin's eyes slowly trailed over to him, showing no joy as he did so.

Justin- Justin..

He looked back at you again, and opened his mouth to speak, but Jeremy cut in.

Jeremy- and how do you know my girlfriend?
Justin- I've known her for a while now..
Jeremy- I asked how..
Justin smacked his lips.
Justin- we met at the beach about a month or so back..
Jeremy- so you don't really know her.

You just watched them go back and forth.

Justin- maybe not as well as you.. but I'm willing to bet, that I've done things with her that you haven't..

You gasped at Justin.

The jealously in him was really coming out now, and you only hoped it wouldn't progress any farther.
