Secrets
JJ closed her eyes, letting her head loll back against the couch as she pictured every moment of the night they had shared. Her body tingled as she thought about the way Emily had made her feel, as she had caressed her. Each touch had enlightened sensations in her that she never knew were possible. JJ had never had such an attentive lover.
One night. All JJ had wished for in the months that followed was a repeat, but each time they made plans, something happened. Henry was sick, Penelope found out they were meeting up and joined them, Will fell out with his sister and stayed at home, and the list went on, until JJ realised that she hadn't heard from Emily in a while.
She called Emily several times, but could detect the distance in her voice and the excuses she used were laughable. JJ had assumed Emily had felt it was a mistake, that she had regretted her actions. If she had only known then what she knew now…
Now she knew that Doyle had caused Emily to create a distance between her and her friends. Knowing that didn't make the rejection easier, just understandable.
Alone JJ sobbed for what may have been.
