Poker Face

Trouble In Paradise

Jess threw her head back and loudly laughed at the joke Jon just made, it felt good that they still managed to have a strong relationship after the whole 'unrequited love' ordeal. Jess was undeniably happy with Colby and Jon and Colby were still friends so that was good. 

They were all having a barbeque at Jon's place, and were currently in his backyard just chilling when Colby got up and went inside, there was a silence between Jon and Jess but it wasn't awkward nor was it comfortable. 

"Jon! There's no more beers, I'm taking your truck to get more cool?" Colby asked, pushing his head out the door 

Jon visibly jumped and nodded, Colby nodded and left the house to the store about 50 blocks away. Jon began thinking about why Colby would trust him and Jess to be in the same space without him being there. Then it struck and Jon smirked 

"You didn't tell him did you?" Jon asked looking at his half drunk beer and swirling it around in the bottle with a knowing smirk on his handsome face 

Jess froze and she hesitated and that was all Jon needed to turn to her, his smirk widening 

"Look at me Jessica," he demanded, still smirking 

Jess refused to look at him, clenching her jaw, Jon chuckled and gently took her chin in his hands and turned her head to face him 

"Look. At. Me." he said with more authority in his voice, Jess hesitatingly looked into his equally blue eyes and melted, there was no denying this guy was insanely attractive 

"Why didn't you tell Colby about the night we shared?" Jon asked, no trace of that beautiful smirk 

"I-I couldn't," she said sighing, then realizing she shouldn't have done that as Jon smirked when her minty beer breath fanned his face 

"Jessica," he said, getting closer to her

"Do you have feelings for me?" He asked her

Jessica looked at him and hated that she didn't even know the answer to his question

She looked at him and didn't answer. He grinned and leaned a little closer

"Jessica, look me in my eyes and tell me you don't have feelings for me," he said, with the same smirk on his face

Jess looked into his eyes

"I can't." She said, her eyes moving from his cerulean blues to his pink, full lips and back again. His smirk widened as he got the answer he was looking for

Jon smiled and brushed her hair back, grinning like a chesire cat as she closed her eyes and he leaned in. The same sparks that flew when they were together that night flew again as their lips met in a unaccepted kiss. Jess opened her mouth as Jon deepened the kiss

The sound of a glass bottle hitting the floor and smashing, made them pull apart and as they looked at where the noise came from, Jess' heart shattered because, there was Colby, eyes watering, beer and broken glass surrounding him.

"No...Colby," she whispered, standing up but Colby heaved a broken sob and turned around, running into the house and back into Jon's van, revving off and peeling out of the driveway as Jess could only look on in shame.
