The next day was going to be hectic. I was exhausted from the date the day before and had this 'movie hangover' going on, but when I remembered that I had sent Jay a text saying we needed to talk, I forced myself out of bed and got dressed.
It was Saturday, so Jay could come in at any time which meant I had to stay at home all day. When my mom told me she and dad were going to see the Spurs vs. Warriors game, I nearly cried knowing I wouldn't be able to go with them.
However, Jay walked in almost immediately they left. We greeted each other with casual 'hi's then got seated opposite to one another.
"You texted?"
I was losing the conviction to do this.
"Yeah, why don't you start, you look like you have something to say."
He nodded, "Amber, I broke up with Sharon yesterday."
I narrowed my eyes at him.
"What happened?"
He shifted in his seat a little then inclined towards me.
"I saw you and Dwayne yesterday."
I clamped my lips together as blood rushed to my cheeks.
"So, I thought about..." He pointed at me then himself, "Us." " Amber, we used to be best friends...Now we barely talk."
I nodded in affirmation.
"What I'm saying is that I broke up with Sharon because I saw that you were uncomfortable with it."
My cheeks were getting redder so I concealed them with my palms.
"Amber, you don't ever have to worry about our best friend-ship now. I'm all yours."
Guilt was welling up inside of me. I was drumming on the armrest, my heart was accelerating.
"Thank you Jay. But, I have something to tell you first. Dwayne and I're still together. And, it would be really unfair to him if I just backed out for no reason."
Jay sulked at me. He looked completely annoyed.
"Oh, so I can break up with Sharon but Dwayne's too special? Amber..."
"Amber what? Dwayne was the only one there for me after you ran off with Sharon!"
"No..."
"You're being entirely selfish here. You think you can just walk back into my life and make me forget Dwayne all at once? It was just two days, Jay. But those two days made me realize things."
"Oh, like what?!"
I took to my feet and threw my hands in the air flaccidly.
"Jay, I love you." He blinked.
"In this few days, I've seen what it feels like to be loved back, so if I'm not sure you will, I'll stick with Dwayne"
I sat down after I realized what I had just said.
A/N
I hate it when the two of them fight, so these last few chapters have been hard for me. (Sobs.) Well, vote and comment. How do you think Jay will respond to this? Is Amber the one being selfish? @natile_x I owe you a dedication but I only typed this on my phone cause you asked me to. When I get on my laptop tho. Thanks for breathing new life into my writing lol stay awesome :)
