| You'll Never Know - Part III |
| �So�� she began. �Is Mark a good kisser?� Nessa looked at her stupidly for a moment. �Huh?� she finally asked. �Is Mark a good kisser?� Jennifer asked again saying each word slowly. �How the hell should I know?� Nessa asked. �You guys have been together for years. You should know by now.� Jennifer explained. �Mark and I have been friends for years.� Nessa explained. �You�re joking right?� Jennifer asked in shock. �You and Mark aren�t together?� Shaking her head, Vanessa made a face. �Of course not!� she exclaimed. �What do you mean, �of course not�?� Jennifer asked. �Mark is drop dead gorgeous, you guys travel all over for Mark�s shows, staying in hotels together. Alone.� Jennifer emphasized. �Well the world must be coming to an end. A guy and a girl are only friends.� Nessa laughed. �So you�re telling me you�ve never slept with Mark?� Jennifer asked. �Never even kissed him.� Nessa explained. Jennifer sat quietly for a moment, then picked up Nessa�s wrist and looked at her watch. �What are you doing?� Nessa asked. �If you�ve never moved on Mark in ALL the years you two have know each other . . .I�m making sure you�re not dead.� Nessa groaned as she pulled her wrist away, �What-ever!� �So . . .you wouldn�t mind if I . . .� Jennifer began wiggling her eyebrows. Nessa shrugged, �Knock yourself out.� Jennifer smiled and popped out of her chair to walk over to Mark. After a few minutes she pulled him out to the dance floor. As they approached the floor the music changed, to a slow song. Someone lowered the lights and couples moved closer as they danced. As the song progressed, Nessa began to feel a knot in her stomach, like someone had punched her. �What�s wrong mija?� Jacob asked as he sat down beside her. �Huh?� �What�s wrong?� he asked again. Still watching the dance floor, �Why is something wrong?� she countered as she drained the Jack and Coke in front of her. �You have a funny look on your face.� Jacob explained. Nessa finally pulled her eyes from the dance floor. �Oh.� Jacob replied, after looking in the direction she had been staring at so intently. �What �oh�?� Nessa snapped, involuntarily. Jacob rolled his tongue in his mouth, �Green looks good on you.� He mentioned with amusement. �What the hell does that mean?� Nessa asked glaring at him. Jacob only smiled and then saw the look in her eyes. Nessa only watched as Mark took Jennifer in his arms and they danced slowly. She watched as Jennifer laid her head on Mark�s chest. �Jacob, would you take me home?� Nessa asked quietly. |
