Gemma just hated all the conflicting feelings that were going through her head in a constant loop. The silence between her and Jaime since they had left the dinner was only causing her to overthink more. She attempted to distract herself with the sound of the rain, it was already dark and they still had five hours of driving left.
She just couldn't believe that Jaime had felt embarrassed to tell he what was going on with Tom. Did he not trust her? Or did he think that she would have chosen Tom?
Because that would have never been the case. She would have chosen Jaime, even if it meant losing Tom's friendship. That fact that Jaime thought otherwise only proved that he didn't know her at all. It felt terrible knowing that he hadn't felt comfortable enough with telling her how he felt.
Suddenly Jaime cut through the silence as he cleared his throat, his eyes firmly on the road ahead. "There's a motel coming up should probably get some rest."
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Gemma replied knowing that Jaime needed his rest too. She had been able to take a nap in the car, but Jaime hadn't slept in hours. Not to mention the rain only seemed to be getting worse.
It was also probably for the best that they spent some time away from each other. Being alone in a car together for hours was creating too much tension, especially after their conversation at the dinner. The last thing they needed was to actually get in a fight, and the way things were going that seemed like a real possibility.
There weren't many cars on the road by the time that Jaime finally pulled into the parking lot of the motel that he had mentioned. It definitely wasn't the type of place that Gemma was used to staying at, but considering the situation they were in it was best to stay somewhere small. It looked like an old motel, but from the amount of cars in the parking lot it looked like it wasn't struggling to stay in business. Or it might have been the rain that was brining in extra customers.
"Hold on." Jaime told her as he quickly got out of the car. Gemma watched from the mirror as Jaime opened the trunk of the car before heading to the passenger door. He opened the door for her and it was only then that she realized that it was an umbrella that he had gotten from the back. "Okay."
