LINDSEY’S POV
When I got to Jim’s place, I rang the doorbell hoping to see him. I missed him so much. I wanted to be with him tonight also. After he made love to me, I wanted more. It is like I loved him ten thousand more than I previously did when we first met.
“Is Jim around?” I asked his friend who got the door for me.
“Sure,” He nodded before shutting the door on my face.
Damn it! That was rude.
I waited outside for Jim hoping he will give me all the explanation to everything that I wanted to hear from him. I wanted to know why he had suddenly become distant from me.
“There you are,” When I saw him, all this anger that had built up inside me suddenly faded. I just wanted him, nothing more.
“What are you doing here?” He asked because he was not expecting me here. At this time, I didn’t care about my ego. I told him the truth.
“I missed you and I somehow had this feeling that you had been avoiding me,” I was honest with him.
“I am not. Why do you say that?” He was shook. Maybe he had not noticed.
“Jim come on,” I heard a voice of a girl calling her.
“Who is that?” I snapped in a second.
“She is just one of our friends. We are hanging out together,” He mumbled.
“I want to hang with you guys. I want to hang with you,” I really wanted him. I want my life to be around him, literally.
“I do not think that is a good idea,” He jested.
“Please, I want to, okay. Come on,” I had already decided. We must hang out tonight.
I didn’t want to hear a go ahead from him. Thus, I walked into the main house and I faced that girl. She was pretty with a good body and brown hair.
“Hi,” I greeted her.
Jim’s roommate, the one I had met earlier, come in the living room and found me in the living room. He seemed shook but anyway, he tried to act normal as he carried a bottle of whiskey.
“Hi, you are?” The girl finally answered.
“My name is Lindsey, you?” I wanted to add that I am Jim’s girlfriend but I decided not to. Jim will be the one to introduce me to her.
“My name is Abby, nice to meet you Lindsey,” She shook my hand before going to sit at the sofa on the other end.
I sat on this other end and waited for Jim to join us.
“I am Cliff by the way,” The friend introduced himself and come to sit where I was seated.
“I am sorry guys,” Jim joined us. I expected him to sit next to me but he went over and sat next to the other girl, Abby.
“So, what are you guys up to?” I asked them breaking the awkward silence in the room.
“We are still waiting on Sally and Mark to come over before we can have a good time. We want to drink, dance and watch a good movie,” Jim explained this to me.
“Cool,” I forced a smile.
“Abby, so between You and Dangerous Lies, what should we watch?” Jim asked Abby and I could feel bile tasting at the back at my throat. He should be asking me, and not her.
“I love You, let us watch that,” I commented but Jim didn’t look at me even for a second. It is as if I said nothing.
“Dangerous lies,” Abby told him.
In that moment, I waited for him to go with my choice but he didn’t.
“We are watching Dangerous lies guys,” Jim announced and I could feel my pulse rising. Why does he have to listen to what Abby is telling him yet I am his girlfriend?
“But I said you,” I countered. I was not going to go down without a fight. He should be listening to me and not her.
“Lindsey, don’t. “ Jim warned me and I watched helplessly as they started watching Dangerous lies.
I felt as if somebody had spread gasoline over my heart and then set fire to it. Tears threatened to form a stream down my cheeks. For a moment, I felt like I could not breathe, like someone had stuffed stones in my airways blocking any passage of air. My lips parted then closed. For someone else I probably looked like a fish in water but I couldn’t help it.
As the movie progressed, I could see Abby getting closer to Jim and it killed me. Wait, does he have something for Abby? What is not happening? Has he been lying to me all along?
Did I give my virginity to the wrong person?
I couldn’t take it anymore.
“We should take shots please,” I told them and Cliff was ready for it.
He served us shots in small shot classes and I was ready to empty the shot of the whiskey which burned the back of my throat. I scrunched my face and the smiled the next minute.
That was not enough, seeing the two of them together made me sick. I drank a little more and by the time Sally and Mark joined us, I was drunk.
“Let us dance,” I started being touchy with Cliff, his roommate hoping that it would make him jealous.
“We should dance,” Sally seconded me in this.
In a moment, Cliff ensured that our speakers were booming with music. I crossed my fingers that Jim would come and dance with me but he didn’t. Abby already held his hand and I was left with Cliff.
Sally and Mark were also dancing.
This was my moment to make him jealous and I did my best.
I started grinding on Cliff. I had a big ass so the rest stopped to watch me grind. I could see Jim fuming and to be honest, it made me so happy.
“That is enough Lindsey,” He pulled my hand and we went upstairs, to his room.
“Why are you doing this to me? Do you want my roommate?” He asked in a voice that was enraged.
“I should be the one asking you, why are you doing this to me? Do you have something going on with Abby?” I asked him.
“Of course not, what makes you think that. I love you,” He said this and I started crying.
“I thought you wanted her. I love you so much Jim and I don’t know how I will ever take it if you cheat on me,” I was honest.
“Calm down, that will not happen. You have had a lot to dink. Sleep okay,” He shushed me as he made me get comfortable on the bed.
He was right, maybe I had, had a lot to drink.
Before he left me to sleep, I pulled him into a kiss. I felt his tongue flick tentatively against mine, his hand going round my lower back. No words needed to be exchanged because this is the closure that I wanted.
“Sleep now Lindsey,” He mumbled before walking out of my room.
“Jim wait,” I called for him.
“What dear?” He asked softly.
“I love you Jim, okay?” I repeated.
“Okay baby, I know,” He hushed before leaving.
