Detour

1: Girly Revenge

JESS.

What a load of shits.
Guys can never be the same as they were before.

I didn't stared that long because I remembered what I came here for. The three of them, most especially the one who is in the middle, who's still surprised why I just showed up in his pool, seeing them having fun with their girlfriends, stood up and went near to me.

"What are you doing here?" Ooh. He's calm.

"I forgot to do this."

I smiled shortly to his "current" girlfriend and didn't cared any less as my hand took the water hose and turned it to the highest level, squishing the end of it. The water came splashing to his calloused face as I sweep it left and right. Everyone is in shock. Their facade broke a little because 1) who would have thought, me, a girl as thin as their cigarette had the guts to do this and 2) they just don't care anyway. So, if they're really underestimating the power of women, here you go folks.

One guy tried to hold my hand while I attacked the one who is close to me, which is the main monster. The one, with the cap on, had the greatest gut and came up to me. He's about to take the hose from my hand but hey, it's shower time. The girlfriend, tried to reach up to scratch my face but I suddenly attacked her too. I know they're so pissed off on my sudden attack but I think they understood why they should let me do this to them. Like, wtf? I trusted you guys! I'm just apologizing to the girls, too bad you've witnessed such showering today without invitations.

"Jess I—"

The monster, I heard him grunt but not for long because I made my way to the familiar car that just stopped in front of the lawn where I destroyed the fence earlier and bang! I let myself in.

"What the hell?! I was looking for—"

"Don't panic. Just start the car."

As soon as he saw three men with the girls following them, came running in our way, he hit the pedal right away.

"Don't tell me you..." That's right. "And you're not explaining why I can't find you anywhere today?" His panic subsided a little.

I just shook my head. I'm not explaining myself right now.

"That was..." His eyes lingered on mine for a moment. Amazed. "Lame." Poker face. He rolled his eyes as he laughed shortly.

"Right. Like you'll be supporting my plans huh?" I rolled my eyes too.
Instead of barking like a dog to a stranger, I kept calm. "And what do you expect? I'm a girl!" I chuckled. Well, that's calm to me. "I'm proud I made it back there without you stopping me like I would sacrifice myself."

I heard him scoff beside me, "GIRL? You called yourself a girl?" He shook his head, smiling, "The last time I remembered you being a girl is when you started acting like one—which has never happened."

Again, for the nth time, I rolled my eyes. "I'm not a lesbian for fucking's sake—"

"You never had a boyfriend—"

"Oh please, this has nothing to do with it."

I thought he'll argue more but he just laughed hard and kept his composure cool after. "I told you to never let your emotions take over you." Just like that, we're going back to the first argument again.

"Emotions. Take over me." I scoffed in return. "Yeah, what about you? Courage the cowardly dog took over you? Except the word courage, I might say. We should be giving them hell Vince! Not cupcakes." I rolled my eyes. "They should be even thankful because that's just the only thing I did! I know it's kinda lame but—"

"Okay. I know you're just doing this for Therese." He glanced at me, "I understand on what you felt for her but hey," He put his hand above mine. "They might come right back at you, you know. I said leave it to me Jess, I can take care of it." His eyes went searching mine when I can't even utter a single word on how he's so concerned about me.

Sometimes I'm confused in who's the real girl he's in love with. Is it Therese, his ex-girlfriend who just got played with one of the guys back there? Or me, who is 99.9% impossible with so many reasons I can think of, as his ever best friend who's up to now, is fucking in love with him?!

Which is which exactly Vince? 'coz I can't comprehend and I might just want to crash this car right now and kiss you.

Nah. Just kidding.

Wake up Jess. He's Vincent Powers. Your BEST FRIEND.
You're his best friend too.

"Jess, do you get it?"

I snapped back from my own delusional thoughts and clapped my hands once on their own. I'm nervous?! Wth? I'm not functioning well. HA. HA. "GREAT! Now where are we heading next?" My system seems to have glitches when it comes to him. So unfair.

He laughed. Now I just embarassed myself. Again. "Relax energizer, we're eating after I'll park my baby just right there." He laughed again and I think I can live with that for the rest of my lives. No eating, I'd still be fine.

Dammit glitch!

"Sure." You'll never be his baby aside from his car Jess!

I know.

"And we'll discuss why you're so lame in putting up plans like that hose you told me last week—"

"Don't even start Mr. Planner—"

"And the way your mind floats everytime we're talking—"

"God, where the hell did you get that?" I just rolled my eyes, laughing to cover the embarassment.

"I know it Shay, you're thinking about me—"

"Say it and i'm going to crash your baby."

That at least shuts him up. Or so I thought. Ugh.
