Kristin took a calm deep breath and looked around, she needs to share it all with someone and here was Jess all ears, but she felt reluctant at first since he treated her like dirt before but he is trying to change.
" I understand if you are not ready to... "
She cuts him short " its okay " she said offering a small smile. " my father had been abusive since I know him, he never cared about me or even loved me, he manhandled my mom several times, beating her in his anger " she paused
" coming home drunk, it got worse for me when I lost my mom, he changed my school our home, he does that every year, he was scared of Amanda finding me, he never molested me and that day.... I mistakenly burnt his shirt, and... And he said he will return the favor "
" its... "
" no, am fine, really am surprised that I don't have any nightmare about it, am strong you know " she joked.
" and I wasn't making things easy for you " Jess said with concern
" how would you know? "
" am sorry Kristin "
She stared at him
" am really sorry Kristin, I don't know what came over me,am just selfish I only care about my family and friends"
She said nothing
" am messed up, I admit but still I went too far and am sorry "
" okay"
" I know I suck at this, but that day when I saw you crying I was drawn to you, I just can't help seeing someone cry, well maybe I was drunk " he laughed at himself but Kristin just stared at him like a dummy
" am I making sense? " he asked
" no"
Silent
The Kristin laughed " I wish you can see your face"
" what? "
" you look clueless "
" huh? "
" you are pouting " she pointed out
" no am not "
" yes you are "
" no "
" yes "
" no "
" yes "
" no "
" yes "
" n.. "
"Yes"
" yes " they said at the same time and laughed.
" Kristin? "
" yes? "
" can we like, start over friends? " he asked
Silent
" yes, I would love that"
" thank you " he smiled at her " so, am Jess Williams "
" Kristin Morgan "
" nice meeting you "
" pleasure is mine "
They both fell into a comfortable silence and ate their lunch.
" guys? " cried Kristin
The guys were playing PS game and were shouting on their lungs. They did not even answered her.
Kristin looked at Jessica who shrugged at her in her I don't care manner.
" fine then " Kristin went to the TV set and turned it off.
" what the hell Kris? " yelled Troy
" oh! You didn't " whined Rand
" why did you do that? "
" you were all making noise and am half way deaf "
" really? " Rand was surprised
" yes! "
" but we are soo bored " whined Rand again
" let's play truth or dare " suggested Troy.
" that's scary than hearing you shout " Jessica said joining the conversation
" then what now? " asked Jess
" let's go swim " yelled Troy already on his feet.
Rand raced him out to the pool Quinn followed behind while Jessica went to her roo to change.
" Kris? " Jess asked standing beside her
" am not swimming " she said, she was not going to show off her body with scars of many colors.
" we are friends Kris, we are not going to judge you , you can wear my shirt"
Before she could say no, his shirt was in her arms already. She quickly ran to her room to change. The shirt fell below her thigh and she put on a short.
She went to join them at the pool at the side of the house.
She entered the water and it was cold against her body.
" you look hot in my shirt" Jess said his hands going round her in the water.
" Jess! " she blushed, trying to pull away but he wasn't letting her. She relaxed against him and lay her head on his chest.
Jess went stilled " what the hell" he yelled.
Kristin turned to see what has gotten him all work up. She saw Quinn holding Jessica, Jess might have broken their on going kiss because Jessica face was red.
" run for dear life! " screamed Rand the drama queen.
Jess was hot on Quinn and Jessica's trail, they held hands running. Rand with his phone recording ran after them.
Kristin sip her drinks beside Troy
" you two fit " he told her
Kristin choke
" you need to stop choking on drinks Kris "
" what? "
" nothing " he said looking away " but opposite attracts"
Kristin looked and saw Jess already looking at her she blushed understanding what Troy meant.
