Ch. 5 "Welcom Home... Jorge" pt 2

Chapter Five: 'Welcome Home... Jorge' pt.2

I curtsied jokingly. "Sir Jorge, it's nice to have you back home." I said with a smile.

He laughed, "Come here."

He had caught me off guard when he rushed in and gave me a tight hug. I quickly hugged him back and I could barely wrap my arms around him, his muscles were bulging. His arms wrapped around my waist so quickly and easily, just the thought of it made my face feel a little warm. He gave one last tight squeeze as he let me go as he still held my hands in his. I noticed that his face was extremely close. I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato by now.
I cleared my throat and shifted uncomfortably.

"Time has done so well to you, Beautiful as always." He complemented me before backing away a little fur than then before, he was still too close.

This was different, Jorge was always the playful rough guy. The guy who would tease you with no mercy. He was never really the type of guy who just randomly complemented you. Hearing him say I was beautiful made me feel a little self conscious.

"You're just saying that." I said hitting him lightly on his arm.

He smiled as if he had a secret, as if he knew something I didn't.

I looked around us and realized that no one was paying attention to us, I could tell that people would look over at us and smile but I had no idea why.

"So..." His smiled became weary.

At that point I know what he was going to ask. Everyone at the party knew about my big break up with my long time best friend. I could see the looks that darted my way, they weren't bad but I also didn't want a pity party. Did they not know pity parties were just as bad as the break up?

"How are you holding up?" he finished.

I jerked my head in a signal for him to follow me towards the huge snack table next to glass sliding door.

"I've been good." I said lying to him.

"You don't need to lie to me Juliet..." he said looking at me intensely, almost making me feel a little flustered.

I looked up at him and I could see the hurt in his eyes.

I sighed, "I've been good up until today... but I assume you know why."

He nodded his head, "Uncle Matty heard it from your mom and he was just telling the guys about it and I over heard. It's also hard not to know what was going on because of your secret admirers over there," He looked over to the group of guys who were in 'The mansions rest' band. They were a group of really attractive yet really annoying dudes around my age. They've had it out for me since I've met them about three years ago. "They over heard Matty and now all they they keep doing is sharing ideas on how to woo you into going out with one of them."

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever they're planning its not going to work. I'm pretty hurt with this whole break up... I've been with Johnny my whole life and thinking about being in another relationship right now wasn't something that I find appropriate."

Although something inside me said that i was just bullshitting myself. I was more hurt to have lost Johnny as a friend than a boyfriend really. I was hurt that we ended it the way we did... He was my best friend. He was someone I could tell anything too. I would bombard him with text messages about our favorite bands and stupid memes I saw from various social networks. Imagine that person disappearing form your life just like that.
The one person who knows you better than the back of their hand was gone. The worst feeling was that, they were gone for good. Because going back to them as anything more than what we use to be would just feel... Awkward. Over time when you date your best friend and it turns out that you're not Soulmate's, your relationships turns into a routine. You also didn't want to break it off because... then what would you do? You would lose the only person who understood you more than anyone else would ever.
I wasn't going to tell people that I was hurt more because I had lost my best friend rather than my lover. I didn't want people to think i was with him because i felt like I needed to. He got along with the family and my dad loved him and I loved him and I thought breaking up with him would make things complicated between us. But that part was just irrevocable.
