Back To The Start (Sequel To The Last Ones Standing)

Forbidden

*Parley's P.O.V*

I lay on the sandy beach enjoying the warm sun on my skin. I look to my right and see Abie and Mason talking. Don't get me wrong I trust Abie and I love her really, but to see her talking to Mason, I don't know it just made me feel some kind of jealousy, of course, it was nothing Mason had a kid and Abie and I are together, so I shrugged it off and went to talk to Jasmine.

"Hey," I said going to sit down next to Jasmine.

"Hi Parley," Jasmine said to me.

"I noticed you were alone, so I thought I'd come to talk to you," I said smiling to her.

"Great just great, and you only wanna talk to me just cause I'm all alone isn't that right," Jasmine said.

I glance down feeling awkward "Uh...Sorry, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to come and talk to you, don't take it any other way."

"Yeah sorry I've just been alone lately, well I've felt alone," Jasmine said.

"Oh...I'm sorry, so tell me how have you been?" I asked.

"Well I've been pretty good, still alone," Jasmine said. "Kind of I have my match who I don't even care about."

I look at Abie hoping for her to come and save me, I had no idea what else to say, guess this is just why I never went to talk to her.

"I'm sorry," I replied.

"Not your fault," Jasmine said.

"Well still," I said.

Abie walked over grabbing my hand to get me to stand up.

"Hi Jazzy!," Abie said excitedly.

"Hey, Best Friend," Jasmine said to her.

"I was just gonna ask Parley if he wanted to go to the tiki bar with me, I wanted to try a pina colada," Abie said. "Without alcohol of course, would you like to join?"

"Sure," Jasmine said standing up.

"Great!," Abie said smiling.

We walk to the bar and sit down on the chairs.

"Hey, Pars. I gotta go talk to Kat, stay with Jasmine please babe," Abie said.

"Come on what am I even gonna say to her?"I whispered to Abie.

"Just talk about whatever. Honestly Parley it doesn't matter you'll think of something I'm sure you're a creative boy," Abie said. "Now I gotta go."

Abie leaves and I am left with Jasmine again.

"I know you don't wanna be here so just go already," Jasmine said drunkenly as she jugged another margarita.

"It's fine, you need someone here with you, you're drunk," I said.

"What's your deal just leave me," Jasmine said trying to stand, but merely falling to the floor.

I quickly help her up and we look at each other, I look at her and for a moment a feel an odd sensation drawing me in to just kiss her. She looked at me leaning into my lips when she just kissed me, it was startling, but I kissed back, and that was when I realized I messed up big time. Abie comes over pulling me out of my trance.

"YOU! I believed you! You--You said..that you loved me," Abie said as tears rained down her face.

"I do! Let me explain!"I said to her my heart breaking seeing her like this.

"Save it for the next girl. We are done!" Abie cried then ran out.

I feel my heart sinking, how could I do this? She loved me and I love her, she trusted me, but I broke that trust.

Mason sees what went on and comes over to talk to me "Was it really worth losing her over?"

And with that, he walked away chasing after Abie. I looked at Jasmine who was just a mess.

"Don't listen to them Parley. I think you're pretty hot still," Jasmine said giggling.

I roll my eyes at her "We need to get you out of here."

"Wanna stay the night?" Jasmine asked smirking at me.

"No! Just shut up, and let's go," I said carrying her.

"Wow you must really love me huh," Jasmine said. "Guess I'm just that hot that your own girlfriend couldn't even compare."

I ignore her remarks and carry her to the car I brought over, I'm sure someone else would bring Abie back to the penthouse. I drive Jasmine back to the penthouse, and when we arrive I carry her all the way up, I lay her fragile sleepless body on the couch and shut the light off about to leave when she talks.

"Hey..I'm really sorry," Jasmine said. "I--I didn't mean to kiss you."

"You're fine," I said.

"No really let me make it up to you guys," Jasmine said.

"No thanks, I just need to be alone," I said.

Jasmine started crying "Pleas...Please tell Abie I love her and I would never intentionally do something like that, I don't wanna lose her, I just can't"

I go back to her comforting her "I can't lose her either she means the world to me, but for now I think it's best to let her cool down"

"Hey, Parley..." Jasmine said resting her head on my lap and looking at me.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I don't remember a lot, and I'm still kinda hazy, but I just wanted to say you're a good kisser," Jasmine said. "Not to be weird."

"Yeah... Thanks," I said.

"And Abie is a lucky girl," Jasmine replied.

"Aren't you a lesbian?" I asked her.

"I guess I'm bi," Jasmine said.

"What do you mean? When did this happen?" I asked.

"Promise not to tell Abie," Jasmine asked.

"I swear," I said looking at her feeling my heart skip just a little.

I shouldn't be feeling this, but I couldn't help it, Jasmine was just so helpless, and I had just lost my girl, she was depressed, I was depressed, and even though the conflict was this feeling I have for Jasmine now, I was feeling it anyhow.

"Well kissing you it just made me feel things, and I..I don't know nevermind it's stupid," Jasmine said as a tear rolled down her face.

I wipe away her single lonely tear "Hey...Hey, you're just drunk I promise it'll fade by tomorrow."

"But what if it doesn't?" She asked.

"Well then it doesn't," I said. "But..I can't, because I love Abie so so much, but I lost her."

Jasmine stands up resting her hand on my knee and leaning ever so close to my lips "But you feel it too don't you?"

I gaze into her eyes a faint light glimmering in the reflection "I...I do."

I lean in and kiss her, and I feel my heart swirl with passion.
