Ambush

So I'm going to have to cut back on my posting days from three times to twice a week, most like Mondays and Thursdays. My life has been hectic lately and I haven't had that much a chance to write in my free time.

When I entered Emily’s house I found her eagerly waiting for me to return, I could tell by the look on her face she wanted me to tell her everything and I decided to mess with her.

“How was it?” she questioned as I headed for the kitchen looking for a bottle of wine, she raised her eyebrows at me. “That bad?”

“That bad Em, why did I agree to this” I groaned while pouring myself a generous glass.

“What happened?” I ignored her question as I headed for the living room and curled up in the arm chair. “Tay tell me what happened, this is Dom we’re talking about he can’t have done anything that bad and you two have always had this chemistry between you”

It was then I couldn’t take it any longer, I begun laughing and a glare appeared on her face. “Oh come on Em it was too easy”

“You’re tacky and I hate you” I couldn’t help but grin at her reference, School of Rock was a movie we both binged watch when we were younger, at one point we knew the movie word for word.

“No you don’t. Do you want to know what happened or not?” the glare finally disappeared and she grinned allowing me to launch into the events of what happened tonight.

I could tell she was enjoying my story telling but the massive smile on her face, “I told you things would be fine Tay and he was a true gentlemen tonight, I don’t know why you thought differently”

I rolled my eyes at her, there was a part of me that believed she was only on Dom’s side because she was mad at Jake for cheating on me. Hell back when I was dating Dom she was mad at him because I was hurt at the way our relationship went.

“Emily don’t start on this, Dom’s actions isn’t why I was nervous about how tonight was going to go, I’m more worried about how everything is going to play out since I’m not exactly in the most ideal situation”

This time Emily rolled her eyes at me, “you can’t tell me you weren’t worried about him pressuring you into having sex with him, you and I both know he knows exactly what buttons to push so you’re begging for sex instead of rejecting his offer”

“Fine, so maybe I was a little worried and he said it’s been a while, he was even teasing me in the car home”

“Tay he cares about you and is trying, I doubt he will do anything you don’t want to in hopes of keeping you” I didn’t say anything in response to her comment, mainly because I didn’t know what to say.

I knew what Emily was saying about Dom was right, he wouldn’t do anything to risk losing me considering of how much he was risking to win me over. He was risking his lifelong friendship with Jake over me, something I don’t know if I could do with Emily.

As much as the friendship between Dom and Jake baffles me due to Dom letting me cheat on Jake, even more so with him, it makes me all wonder how close they actually are. There are so many things that make me question their friendship but then there are other times when I realise just how close they are, life when Dom was covering for Jake about his own cheating.

I finished my glass of wine and quickly said goodnight to Emily before heading towards the bathroom to get ready for bed.

After quickly showering and brushing my teeth I entered my room and picked up my phone noticing I had a miss call from Jake, I hesitantly rang him with an uneasy feeling in my stomach.

There was a part of me hoping that Jake had seen me out with Dom tonight to make me having to tell him everything, but then there was another part of me hoping that he hadn’t seen us and this was a random phone call because I don’t want to hurt Jake over this information.

“Hey Tay”

“Hey sorry I missed your called”

“No it’s fine, I was just hoping you were free so we could go out one night this week”

I was silent after that, I didn’t know what to say to that considering what I was doing tonight and with who, hell if things were different with Dom I wouldn’t have even hesitated about going back to his and having mind blowing sex.

“Tay you there?” he questioned and I could hear the worry in his voice, he was worried about losing me but hadn’t we already agreed on the fact that what we had wasn’t healthy?

“Yes sorry I’m here Jake, can I get back to you, I have some late meetings for work and I don’t have my day planner on me right now?”

“Of course just let me know, I miss you Tay”

“I miss you too Jake”

It was true, I did miss Jake and I know it sounds weird but what we had was comfortable and reassuring. I might not have been able to have my sexual satisfied with him but everything else? Yes everything else with Jake was met to a key, I was happy in that aspect and the fact that I wasn’t coming home to Jake every night did hurt no matter what we’ve gone through and I know if I don’t choose Jake in the end it will hurt both of us.

The call between Jake and I ended shortly after that, we were just catching each other up on lives like we normally would have and I couldn’t help but catch a sight of Emily as she tried to sneak past my door as if she wasn’t listening to the conversation.

“Emily” I warned her and it didn’t take long for her to come back into view.

“Thought you were going to sleep Tay” she flashed me a smile but I knew it was fake, I narrowed my eyes at her and it dropped. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it”

“It’s fine, I would have told you that Jake called, surely you know that without you through all of this I would go insane” Emily came and sat down beside and I rested my head on her shoulder.

“You know my opinion on this, you know I prefer Dom over Jake but I also know you Tay, I know you won’t just let Jake go without telling him the truth or even giving him a chance to show that maybe he can change”

“I know” I spoke softly and at first Emily was quiet making me think she had nothing else to say but Emily always has something to say.

“Look Tay I’ve stayed quiet on this but I need to put it out in the air, I honestly don’t think Jake will change enough to make you happy, yes he might change so he’s no longer chasing girls down at the bar but I don’t think he will be able to give you want during sex. Some people aren’t into that sort of thing, I’m not and I wouldn’t want some guy to push me into that sort of thing so why would you push Jake?” I pulled away from her and stared at her, I hadn’t thought of it like that and right now I felt like the biggest bitch for constantly being on Jake’s case about it.

I placed my elbows on my legs and pressed my face into my hands and it wasn’t long until Emily had a hand on my back soothing rubbing me as if she knew this bit of information would do this.
