The Rarest Gem

Chapter Ten

Seki

...really?

I bet if it was a message from Tristan, you would've responded instantaneously...

Sure... make me wait...

Freaking Tristan, why does he even like this guy?

I mean, he's cute, but I've seen better.

Just as I notice the chat bubble come to life, I hear a knock on my bedroom door and know it's Trinity, finally up from her nap and ready to get all the info from my meetup with Tristan.

I flip my phone over onto my bed and mentally begin to prepare myself to let my sister in on the mess of a day I've had.

"Come in."

She enters my room, and it's almost impossible to ignore the sense of intrigue illustrated across her face as she plops herself next to me on my bed.

"So yeah, let's skip the small talk. You know I'm dying to know. What did Tristan have to say? Were your suspicions right?"

I take a deep breath before I let it all out. It's still fresh and I really don't want to relive it, but it's probably better to get some of this off my chest, anyway.

"Okay, get comfortable..."

I notice her adjusting herself on my bed now, facing me with her hand on her head and eyes wide open. She's clearly taking my advice way too seriously.

"So basically, yes, my suspicions were correct..."

I'm interrupted by my sister's extremely over-the-top gasp and jaw drop, but follow her gesture to go on as she continues to stare at me blankly, rolling her hand.

"When I got over to his house, he wanted me to help him pick out an outfit... remember the exchanging of numbers I mentioned earlier that he conveniently associated with a new work opportunity?"

"Yes, uh huh, go on, go on."

"Well, I had been having a long day, so I'll be honest I was already annoyed that he called me over to basically help him get dressed, and I already had the intention of just outright asking him, and I won't lie, I hinted at it a bit, that aside I decided to be a good friend and help him out."

"And then he says he's gay?"

"NO! Trinity, just listen...."

"... after choosing an outfit for him I asked if he had a resume, and he said no, once again me being the amazing person I am offered to help him throw one together for good measure, little did I know secrets were about to be exposed on his laptop."

"Omg, don't tell me you found nudes!"

"Yes, I found lots of nudes of him and other men..."

Trinity hops up so quickly she nearly flings me off the bed as she drops to her knees and covers her mouth, eyes still as wide as they were when I suggested she get comfortable.

"Trin, calm down. I was being sarcastic..."

She reclaims her seat on the bed and positions herself as she was before I blew her mind with my creative details.

"Oh, thank God, I mean my next question was going to be if the pictures were worth seeing or what the other guys..."

"Trinity, get it together. Logan, the boy I mentioned earlier, texted him, and Tristan's laptop was synced with his phone... he saved Logan's name with a heart next to it."
