On Love & Friendship

Chapter 9 - Confrontation

Jade found herself locked in Althea's embraced. She was crying hard this time. Althea was crying also. No words has come out of her mouth, Her thoughts battling, In her head. I should hate you, I should not be holding you but what is happening now. My mind said let go but my heart says I still love you and I missed you so much. I just want to feel your warm embraced.

" Jade I am sorry ...I know I have done something wrong but please give me a chance to explain..."

Jade did not reply but motioned Althea to get inside her unit. She closed the door behind them. They are looking at each other face to face. She has not taken her eyes away from Althea.
She got too many questions and she is trying to process what else does she need to know. One word has come out...

" Why?"

Althea did not answer, as if she is also trying to find words for Jade. Finally Jade's nerves has gotten to her, Her suppressed emotions has finally found its way out.

" WHY?! " It was almost a scream, she was shaking now.

Jade tried to control her voice, she speaks in between her sobs.

" What are you trying to do to me? Why you didn't tell me that you are already married and with a Child?...Do you realized what you did?"

Jade leaned on the wall to support her self, her knees are shaking as if it looses its strenght.

" Jade...I wanted to tell you but I did not have the chance . There's too many good things that happened between us, everything came too fast..."

Althea make a few steps towards Jade. But Jade gave her a hand not to come near her.

" So... What are we now Althea? "
" What I am to you? Your Mistress? The Other Woman? What are we now??!"

Jade was so angry, her face blushed. She now showed her pain to Althea. She was sobbing, In between she tries so hard to say these words, her voice is broken.

" You let me fall for you...you Let me believed that we can be together...All of these are lies!!! You deceived me from the start"

" No Jade...It was not my intention to hide it from you...I was going to tell you but I was scared to lose you....I love you too much Jade....."

Althea let go of that emotion now, her tears are flowing like it will never stop. The pain she is feeling right now is too much.

" Jade! I loved you...from the first time I saw you... I have loved you. I never wanted just friendship...from the beginning I was in love with you. It was never friendship...but believe me
I never intended to hide my situation from you...it just happened...and it was too late for me to fixed it...I'm so sorry....I'm so sorry...Jade"

" So what now? How are we gonna fix this? Do you know how painful this is for me? You are married and worst is you have a child...Are you out of your mind?!?"

" What do you want to do now Althea?"

Jade shakes her head, holding her forehead, She find it hard to breath.

" Just tell me what you want Jade..." Althea looked at Jade's eyes.

" Fuck it Althea! Don't you dare pass the fire on me..." Tears are flowing down her face.

" Just forgive me Jade....Please just forgive me...and tell me to go and I will go and You'll never see me again..."

Jade was stunned, she doesn't know what to say. How dare you Althea to even asked me. I am hurting because you deceived me. And now this?

" Tell me to go and I'll go??? My God Althea...Do you even hear your self...Why don't you just kill me?!? Is that what you want?!"

Jade was trembling and Althea cannot stand it, She never wanted to hurt the only Woman she loved. Althea able to get hold of Jade. Althea hugged her and she smooth Jade's hair.

" You are all I want"

And with that Jade's hugged Althea too. She cried on her shoulder. This the reason why she don't want their body to get near. Because everything change the moment their skin touches.

" You hurt me so bad Althea...how dare you..."
She was saying it while not letting go of that hold.
" Let me tell you everything Jade...please.."

" I hate you Althea...I hate you.."

" I love you Jade...I love you so much..."

" How can you do this to me?"

" I am so sorry Jade...forgive me..."

Althea kissed Jade's tears. She looked at her eyes and she was cursing herself for seeing this pain in Jade's eyes. Her vision is blurred with her own tears. Then their lips touched, Jade's lips was longing for Althea it seems that her pain will be healed with those kisses. Their kiss was long but gentle. Every touched of their lips brings out the feelings they want to keep for each other. Every taste of their tounge as its glides is each others mouth is like promises that they want to keep and yet as their tears continued to pour it brings them questions and fears that this might be the end. Jade speak
First...

" I love you Althea...but how can I continue to love you? "

Althea couldn't speak, there are no words coming out. She just stared at Jade, she hugged Jade and then she broke down. She tried hard to control her emotions and so words has finally heard.

" If you feel that you cant love me anymore Jade then its okay...
And I am Sorry that I hurt you...but remember that I will Love you even until you stop Loving me..."

" Oh God Althea..."
