The Start Of Something New

Virginie's Point Of View

November 25th

"Don't mess around Jake. You can tell me if you kissed me before, I won't get mad." I try to get the truth out of him.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about. I would have never forced you to do something you didn't want to do."

"And now, I've invited you to, I suppose?" I joke to bright up the mood, replying with sarcasm.

"No... But the mood was perfect, we were having a nice time and with Sinatra in the background, I just thought... It was now or never, but I don't want to get involved in your love life. It seems messed up enough as it is. You don't need a third man stirring it up." He says and gets up to walk to the bathroom. I hear the water running as he must be washing his hands.

"What? OK, two things." I get up and join him and lean on the side of the door, looking at him through the mirror. "First, somebody kissed me on Halloween and if it isn't Matt or you, then who is it? I was sure it was you."

"Why? Was it great?" He jokes and I immediately push him lightly and he giggles as he fires back at me watering me in the face with the water dripping of his clean hands.

"Stop joking, I'm serious. And second, why do you say my love life is messed up?" I frown at him, backing away from the door since he walks out of the bathroom. "You know nothing about it."

"I know enough." He pushes the couch back to its initial place and I stay stunned.

What does he know? I just told him I was pissed at Matt for not coming, I didn't even tell him all the things I've kept inside, but it isn't messed up. Matt and I will work it out when the time comes and that will be when he gets his stupid cute face out of his ass and actually do something about what is going on. I'm sick and tired of doing all the efforts and the compromises.

I look at Jake and he sits on his couch and invites me to sit next to him. Even though he got me pissed and I don't want to stay any longer since we both work in the morning, everything inside of me tells me the join him. My curiosity is getting the best of me.

"Can I be honest with you?" He asks, combing his hair out of his face with his hand, following me from sight as I take a seat.

I nod. He allowed me to do the same, I can't refuse him that.

"I think you are a dreamer." He starts and it makes me shyly smile, because he couldn't be more true. "It's really cute, but it makes you blind."

My smile drops just as fast as it got on my lips. What!? I frown and he keeps on piercing his eyes in mine. He goes on and I'm not sure I'm open to be talked like that by someone who barely knows me.

"I think you are more in love with the idea of what you want in life then life itself. You kept on telling me that Matt and you are living exactly the life you want and are getting serious and you will move out of his parents and maybe get married and have children, but have you thought that he might not want the same so fast? He clearly cares more about his job than to maybe spend a day or two with you here. There's nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong, but you let it sound like it's a big problem for you to not value the same things." He stops and looks at me, waiting to say something.

"OK, you might be right." I say very guarded, still wearing a big frown on my face.

"Also, you don't seem over Harry and that's the part I don't get. When you talk about you being happy with where things go with Matt, everything seems planned, but when you talked about the things you did with Harry nothing was planned as you said it yourself you were living in the 'right now', like there was no tomorrow. I think you might want to force everything that didn't make you happy with Harry on Matt to convince yourself that you are happier. But are you?" He looks at me, thoughtful, trying not to hurt me, but going on and on about all of this nonsense.
