**************

It's been exactly two months and two days since me and Lee have started dating.

It's been fun and all but something tells me that it's too good to be true.

It's amazing how I've become dependent on the thought of Lee to feel better about myself.

A week after I moved back home I told Lee everything about my mother. He was very sweet and didn't run for the hills when I started crying.

But a little part of me wished he would also open up to me. But I mean you can't force someone to be open and vulnerable with you,now can you.

And it doesn't help when you're slowing falling in love with the guy. I just want him to feel comfortable with me.

It's like something is eating up his conscious.

He's not cheating right?
I hope not, that's the old Lee and I truly believe that he's not a player as people paint him to be.

So I was planning on surprising Lee tonight with a nice movie night.

I still have the keys to his apartment just in case I want to crash.
He said he's going to hit the gym today and that means he will only get home around 7 o'clock which gives me enough time to get everything together.

"hey dad I'm heading over to Lee's and I might sleep over there if it gets too late to drive back." I shout to my dad while struggling to carry a stack of Lee's favorite movies and snacks and ice cream.

"Hey honey can we talk about this?" my dad says clearly not pleased with my plans.

Since the whole mom thing me and my dad's relationship went back to normal. But my dad is extra protective now.

"No dad there is nothing to talk about dad." I say and rush out of the door to pack the stuff into the back of my car.

I walk back into the car to fetch an over night bag.

"I just don't want you to get hurt." he says while sipping his coffee.

"Dad Lee would never hurt me. Trust me I know what I'm doing." I say trying to calm his concerns.

"If you say so but I'm always going to be here for you honey no matter what." my dad says and opens his arms for me to walk into. And he ingulfs me into a warm hug.

"okay I'm gonna get going." I say and fetch the fairy light in my room and leave for Lee's apartment.

I pull up into the apartment underground garage.

But strangely I see Lee's car.

Maybe he went to the gym with a friend. Because if he's still here I'm going to pull out plan B.

I guess I'll just give him an excuse to leave the house for a bit while I prepare the surprise.

The walk to his apartment is not long and in seconds I'm at his door.

I see that the door is not locked when I tug at it.

That's not really smart.

"Honey, I'm ho..." the sight in front of me leaves me shocked.

Synthia.

Tears spring to my eyes faster than I can comprehend what's happening in front of me.

How could he.

"Pineapple...i swear its-" Lee dares to speak.

"I swear it's not what it looks like. Is that what you're about to say?" I say picking up Synthia top from the floor and throwing it into his face.

"Because I'm pretty sure there is no way you could explain how your tongue was shoved into your ex thing's mouth." I say.

"Is gym a code name for hooking up with Synthia because it's really smart really. I didn't catch onto it."  I say with a bitter laugh at the end.

"Anyway I'm sorry for disrupting your time with each other. I'm going to leave and you guys can carry on whatever this is." I say and storm out of the apartment before they can both speak.

I'm done with this shit.

I immediately call Paige because she is the only person right now who could understand what I'm going through.

On the third ring she answers.

"Hey, I need to cash in a shoulder-to-cry-on coupon tonight." I say and my voice cracks at the end of the sentence.

"How far are you Jess, I'm coming to get you stay there." Paige says urgently amd in a calm manner.

Like the old Paige would, before all this plastic.

Paige got me a friendship coupon book two years back but I never used my coupons and I guess now I have a reason.

"Don't worry Paige I'm already five minutes away from your house." I say trying to mimic her calm voice.

"okay I'll be waiting on my drive way. Bye see you soon." she says calmly again.

How can she remain calm at a time like this?

That's the question I used to ask myself all the time whenever me and Paige started hanging out together but now I know that's just who she is.

She always said that stressing and crying will not solve anything.

"He is clearly dumb and foolish for messing up, I mean who would want to miss out on a wonderful, kind and funny girl like you." Paige says after I've explained everything to her. After a whole box of pizza and a bag of skiddles.

"I know right, he just had to go and ruin it all for us. It was going so well." I say in a boss bitch voice.

After like five minutes of crying on Paige's shoulder, she sort of calmed me down and turned my hurt into hate and anger which is a weird talent of hers.

She made me feel less bad about it and instead mad at the dude who broke my heart.

"I mean I'm easy on the eyes, I'm smart, I'm kind and even though I've never told him that I love him I show it to him. What more does he want from me?" I ask myself.

"Hey you are perfect he just doesn't see that. Now let's post a hot picture of you on Instagram to make him feel bad." Paige says and starts packing away all the papers and wrappers form the snacks we ate.

I'm definitely burning all of this tomorrow.

After ten minutes of searching for a hot picture that I've never posted we found the one.

It's a picture I took at the beach in a black one piece swimsuit for one of my. modeling gigs.

The best is my caption it reads  "I was music but you had your ears cut off."

As soon as I posted the pictures comments and likes started flooding in and a satisfied grin adorned my face.

Revenge is a dish best served hot.

You messed with the wrong girl Lee.
