"BABY BOY, YOU STAY ON MY MIND
FULFILL MY FANTASIES"

__

Jennifer's POV:

Bill, Georg, Chloe and Gustav arrived a little after Murray's episode. Tom hadn't said a word since, not a single comment, which wasn't like him; instead he'd just lit a joint and held me close.

"so you've met him?" asked Georg, putting his arm around Chloe.

"yeah." replied Tom curtly, earning him strange looks from everyone.

i knew Tom was jealous and honestly i think James' story had traumatized him, which was very understandable.

Chloe, who hated awkward silences, finally spoke up: "I can't believe he didn't call to tell me he was home."

Chloe, James, Murray and i were close, i wondered how he'd react if i told him everything that had happened since he'd left.

he probably wouldn't be surprised at James's behavior, even though Murray liked him, he'd always told me to be careful.

i kinda missed James, after all he was my best friend since we were children, his father was my dad's business partner, etc.

if only he didn't act like a total asshole.

just thinking about it, i saw his car pull up right next to Georg's one.

he got out, throwing a quick glance behind him and finally meeting my gaze. he smiled awkwardly and mouthed a 'hi' before heading towards Murray, who greeted him with a bro hug.

if only he knew.

the boys continued talking about whatever as Chloe leaned her head to the side, motioning for me to follow her so that the two of us could talk in private.

when we got a little farther away from the boys she lit a cigarette and sighed, "have you seen James with Ray?"

i nodded softly as i watched her blow out the smoke. she huffed and rolled her eyes to show how pissed she was at this scene.

"so how did the meeting with Murray go?" she then asked with a small smile to change the subject.

i held back a laugh, "you should have seen Tom's face, it was fucking hilarious."

she laughed softly before passing me her cigarette so i could take a drag. it was covered in red lip stains from her dark red lipstick.

as i blew the smoke skywards, she frowned, brushing my hair away from my neck. "i see Tom didn't waste any time," she said, pointing to the hickeys i'd tried so hard to cover.

we laughed a little before i felt someone approach me from behind, which immediately made Chloe stop laughing as she saw Georg and Tom.

"the race is about to start we should get going." i heard Tom whisper in my ear from behind.

i nodded as he offered me his hand to guide me through the crowd.

the three cars lined up as i felt Tom's hand on my thigh, stroking it with his thumb. i immediately placed my hand on his and looked up at him with a bright smile.
