U, Me & She

Chapter 51- Wooosah

  Upon Perez's self invitation into the shower with Jamie, she quickly asks "Hey, before you come in, can you go see who's knocking at the door?"  With a confused look, he responds with "I didn't hear anything."  With her back turned toward him, she sarcastically tells him "Well, I don't see how you couldn't have heard it.  The knocking was clear as day."  Perez grows frustrated as he wraps a towel around his waist and exits leaving the bathroom door partially open. Jamie sees this as her cue to wrap things up and immediately become clothed as she turns the shower knob to the off position, dries off then gets dressed within a matter of seconds.

  Perez yells out while in route "Who is it?" gaining no response.  He approached the door awaiting for the knocking to continue, then follows by peeking through the peep hole to notice a man standing on the opposite side of the door.  He opens the door partially to see the man's hand raised in position to knock.  "Can I help you?" He asks as the man follows by asking "Is Jamie home?" Perez looks at the man shocked by his audacity as he responds with "Who are you?"  The man looks away smiling as he responds with "Just tell her Phillip has something to give her." Perez looks at him with caution as he watches the man stand before him with one hand behind his back.  "Hold on." Perez says as he shuts the door and turns around to notice a fully dressed Jamie walking into the room.  She sees something is wrong by his facial expression and asks "What's the matter?"  Perez silently walks over to retrieve his jacket that draped the end of the couch and reveals a .22 Caliber pistol from beneath it then tells Jamie "Make this fucker go away."  Jamie's eyes grew wide as she is taken aback by his request and was hoping that he was referring to his massive erection. She sighs and jokingly says, "Okay, gosh! Just whip it out and I'll take care of it."  Perez grows even more frustrated and says, "Not me bitch, the fucker at the door." Jamie grows confused by his serious tone as she digresses momentarily then yells "Who is it?" She hears a voice saying "It's me." immediately recognizing that it is Phillip.  His voice made her cringe as she hoped to never see him again.

  In an instant, Jamie begins to see red as her anger continues to elevate from Perez's playful videotaping, followed by his disrespectful tone,  then his visual of his pistol in which he used for intimidation,  to finally Phillip's unexpected guest appearance.  She takes a moment, closes her eyes tightly and takes three deep breaths to maintain her composure before she opens the door and pulls it shut behind herself.  "Phillip, what are you doing here?  The last time I saw you, you were making a complete ass of yourself and embarrassed me." Phillip nods his head agreeing and says "I wanted to apologize for the way that I acted.  I feel like I was pushing myself onto you when it was very clear that you weren't ready to take our friendship to that level.  I also feel like I know you better than you think and wanted to give you something that I know you will enjoy."  He hands her a box as she reluctantly grabs it knowing that Perez is probably on the other side of the door listening to the entire conversation.   "What is this?" She asks as she lifts the top at a slight.  Upon noticing what it was, her eyes grow wide as she looks at him in disbelief before closing the lid quickly.  "Oh-Em-Gee, Phillip.  Are you serious?" she asks as she lifts the lid once again to gain another glance.  Phillip smiles at her reaction and extends his hand saying "I'd better leave you to your company.  Friends again?" Jamie extends her hand and shakes his responding by saying "Friends." Phillip backs away as he leaves her to her guest as she tries to hold back her tears upon his departure.  She stands in awe and says to him before re-entering her apartment "Thank you."  He returns a smile as he makes every attempt to hold in his excitement from not being rejected by her for the first time since they've known one another.

  Immediately upon her entry, Perez stands before her with arms folded while holding his pistol to his left side giving her a menacing glare.  "What the fuck was that about?" he asks as she disregards his lewd comments and walks past him with the boxed gift still within her grasp.  She heads to her bedroom, opens her closet and places the box on her top shelf while feeling the presence of Perez standing directly behind her.  Suddenly, she feels the barrel of his pistol press against the back of her head followed by the clicking of the hammer as he says "Bitch, I know you heard me.  I asked you, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT?" Jamie pauses in her tracks as she closes her eyes once again and takes three deep breaths replaying all of the things she learned in her anger management classes...
