My Best Friend's Hot

[Jessica Andrews]

Jessica's smile dropped when she heard Marissa's possibilities. The bad thing was that she guessed what happened within seconds. The good thing was, her supposed reaction wasn't going to be bad. Well, duh. Why would it be bad? She tried to respond back to her so she wouldn't get suspicious, but got distracted by her smoothie being placed in front of her. She thanked the lady and took her smoothie, drinking some of it down. "Mmm this smoothie is amazing. For once, I actually picked the right choice. Normally I'm always pissed at how they turn out but this one is perfect," she really needed to stop or else Marissa was going to admit her into a psychiatric ward. The desperation to change the topic was so obvious and kinda sad. And then all plans on avoiding the topic was demolished because the topic was now standing right in front of them. Shit.

Her heart and stomach did all kinds of weird things; dropping, flipping, pounding. She wanted to punch herself in the chest and follow it up with a big blow to her stomach... but then she knew for a fact that Marissa and/or Tommy would definitely be sending her to a psych ward so she decided against it. Instead, she just smiled. Maybe it was too big of a smile but whatever. She couldn't help it. "Hey sexy," she responded which was normal to hear from Jess. She tried her hardest to control her facial expressions and was starting to get mad at herself.

As he talked, she wasn't paying attention to what he or Marissa was saying. She found herself looking at his lips and absentmindedly wet her lips with her tongue missing the taste of them. She snapped back into reality when he asked if he was intruding and even though Marissa responded she decided to respond as well. She shook her head, "No you're not intruding at all." She looked back into his eyes as Marissa said she was talking to herself and gave him a little secretive smile.

She sipped on her smoothie as they talked about a potential deal. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt jealous that Marissa would be going over Tommy's without her. Then she realized this was getting ridiculous. This was not Jess behavior, what the hell was wrong with her?

[Tommy Reynolds]

Jessi's eyes kept locking onto his and he winked at her. As she licked her lips, his skin tingled. Before he could focus very hard, Marissa spoke. Tommy's smile widened at Marissa's comment. "You know my door is always open for you," he replied. "Just give me a call and I'll make sure I'm around when you come."

He took another drink of his limeade and then looked at Jessi, raising his eyebrows. "You should swing by too. Unless, you have other plans." He smiled and then shrugged a bit. "Don't forget about the party either. I expect to see both of you there and in something... tight... and barely there." He grinned wide and then looked at Marissa, since Jessica clearly hadn't spilled the dirt on what happened between them.

[Marissa Jacobs]

Marissa nodded, smiling. "Okay, cool. It's been a while since I've inhaled any illegal substances," she whispered, more to herself than anyone. That's what having to go on leave does to you. You get no money to pay for fun things like crack. She took another sip of her smoothie. Her eyes darted back and forth between Jessica and Tommy and she's no Sherlock Holmes but something was up.

"That's more of Jessica's style," Marissa said, straw still in her mouth. She felt this weird tension in the air. She could cut it with a knife. "I'll come fully clothed with an alcohol appetite ," she told him with a small laugh. She looked at Jessica, smiling and what not. Something was definitely up between these two. They couldn't have fucked, right? Jessica would have told Marissa... maybe. "I need to go buy a belly button ring... so, you guys can follow or you guys can continue looking like weirdos and... yeah, I'm going this way," she said pointing behind her. The tension was odd. She had to get out of there.

[Jessica Andrews]

Jess immediately smiled when Tommy invited her over as well. "No, I'll be there," she said nodding her head and keeping his stare. She laughed at his comment about what to wear and Marissa's response. "That's true, barely any clothes or no clothes is definitely more of my style," she played around with the straw that was in her mouth, moving her tongue around it. She didn't hear Marissa talking until she turned around and started walking. She laughed at her comment and then finally looked down at the floor. What to say now? This was indeed awkward. What she really wanted to do was go over and kiss him but that probably wasn't a good idea.

"So," she said filling in the awkward silence. She had a doofy smile on her face and was biting her bottom lip, a nervous habit she developed over the years. "Should we follow her or what?" She asked with a smile.

[Tommy Reynolds]

Tommy laughed at Marissa, his trance broken by her voice. "Yeah, we should go with her." He smiled and walked to catch up with Marissa. "So are you sure you don't want to have threesome in a dressing room somewhere?" Tommy joked, falling into step beside Marissa. What he really wanted was a quickie with Jess.

Tommy glanced at Jessi, making sure she was still with them. "Whata you say Jessi?" he asked, smirking.

[Marissa Jacobs]

Marissa looked at Tommy once he opened his mouth and laughed but shook her head. “No, I’m okay. Thanks for the offer though. It’s nice to know you think of me like kind of… maybe not… I’m done talking.” She wasn’t really there. She was more of in a trance, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Marissa really started to think that they were fucking… and she decided to find out.

“So, Tommy. Anything interesting happen lately? Did you DO ANYTHING lately that worthy of being mentioned?” She smiled invitingly and saw Claires two stores down from where they were. “Belly button rings,” she sang and made her way into the store.

[Tommy Reynolds]

"You're lucky I'm not the type of guy who takes payment by sex," he offered, just messing around with her. Tommy raised his eyebrows, listening to her babble, until she finally got around to a point. "Of course, I always do things worthy of mention." He grinned knowing it would make her insane for him to not answer. Following her into the store, he glanced around. This wasn't his kind of place.

"How about you? Anything of note happen in your life?" he asked, picking up a tongue barbel with a french tickler on it. "Looks like fun," he mumbled to himself and then looked at Marissa, then Jessi. "Either of you girls have one of these?"

[Jessica Andrews]

Jess laughed at the mention of a threesome and Marissa's response. "Sorry, I'm more of a one on one type of person and I already have Marissa booked for tonight," she said with a slight shrug and an innocent smile. She followed Marissa until they got into Claires, then she started looking at the cute jewlery. Hearing Marissa's question, her eyes shot up at Tommy but then they dropped back down to the jewlery after he responded. That was close. She obviously knew now.

Not that it mattered, I guess. I mean, she was going to find out eventually... maybe. She looked back up at Tommy when he asked his question and then stuck out her tongue. "No piercing, remember?"

[Marissa Jacobs]

“Oh, I don’t think that would stop me from using,” Marissa said, chuckling. She was addicted, yeah. But it was alright. She could stop whenever she wanted to. Well, she thought she could. “But, please don’t start,” she said quickly afterwards with a hopeful smile.

As Tommy bounced around the question, Marissa glared. Yeah, they obviously did it. But she wanted to hear one of them say it so she formally squeal and be excited. “Tommy! More specifically, please. Come on. Aren‘t I your best customerrrr,” she said with a pout. As he asked about her life, she nodded. “I got arrested again. Dumb cops. I didn’t even do anything that was bad!”

She picked up a bracelet that she thought was cute and heard Tommy. She looked back at him and what he was holding. “Have about three of those back at my place. There fun,” she informed with a smile.

[Tommy Reynolds]

Tommy smirked at Jess when she stuck out her tongue and then laughed at Marissa, who was getting impatient. "Actually, Chris is my best customer. You are my second best though." He was still staring at the barbel. "Yeah, cops are a pain in the ass. Truly. They make my life hell. Its good to see you're out though." He looked at Marissa and then put the barbel back. "Damn, and you won't even give me a shot to see what its like."

He walked over to her, leaned down close to her ear and smiled to himself. His hand came up and rested on the side of her face. "I think you know exactly what interesting events have occured in my life," he whispered and then let her go and stood up straight.

[Marissa Jacobs]

The name Chris made Marissa giggle and blush but she made herself stop. She didn’t like what the fuck that man was doing to her. It was too… mushy and lovey-dovey and gross. It wasn’t Marissa at all. “Second best?! C’mon, dude. But I’m a girl.” She didn’t know what that had to do with anything but it was worth a shot. As he talked about cops, Marissa nodded. “Amen! The one that arrested me called me the C word! Like, really? How rude! I just punched some person. No need to be vulgar,” she ranted, snarling at the thought of that cop. He was a real dick head.

“Yeah, well… if I can be your favorite customer, maybe you’ll get a shot.” She was really kidding. She would never ever do that. Their relationship was strictly business with some friendship in there. She left the other part up to Jessica, apparently.

As Tommy made his way closer, she raised her brow. She was REALLY just kidding. But then he whispered. Okay, phew. But, still. Whispering kind of geeked her out. So, she tried to get away from his grip but she laughed instead. "Yeah, but shhh. I don't." As he let her go, Marissa looked at Jessica. “You seeing Danny tonight?” she asked with a sweet smile on her face as she picked up a belly button ring to see if it was cute enough.

[Jessica Andrews]

Jessica ended up wandering to the back of the store after a few pieces of jewlery caught her eye. Walking away from the two of them wasn't probably a good idea but it was too late now. She didn't end up hearing what they were talking about or anything because she was too busy looking at a gorgeous silver and turquoise necklace and ring that happened to match perfectly with the blue dress she just bought. She held it up against her, and tilted her head to the side trying to decide whether or not she should buy it. She decided for it and held it in her hand, picking out a few more things that went the couple of tops she had bought at Express.

She made her way back to the front of the store and put the jewlery she wanted on the register and the lady started checking her out. She took her credit card out and put it on the counter as the lady started putting the jewlery she had just bought in a plastic bag. When she heard Marissa's question, her eyebrows stiched together and she turned her head to see her smiling such a fake smile.

She squinted her eyes wondering why she would bring that up out of nowhere. "Well, he hasn't called me yet so I wouldn't know. Why?" She asked raising a brow with a curious look on her face. The lady said her total and Jess turned her head and smiled, sliding the credit card over. After she swiped it and printed out the receipt, she signed it and then thanked the lady taking her bag of jewlery and placing it in the larger Express bag. She turned around and walked back over to the two of them, waiting for Marissa to answer.

[Marissa Jacobs]

“Oh, no reason! Just want to know if I can call or not,” Marissa said with a small chuckle as she found a real cute belly button ring. It had the batman symbol dangling off of it. It was meant to be. She took it off the rack and held it up. It was perfect. She made her way up to the cashier and placed it on the counter. “Wouldn’t they make a cute couple?” she whispered to the cashier, only for her to hear.

The cashier took one look and nodded. “Oh, yeah. They’d be real cute. They’d have cute babies.”

“That’s what I’m saying!” Marissa squealed, laughing and handing her a twenty dollar bill in exchange for a bag with a receipt inside. “Thank you,” she said and walked back up to the two with a smile. “Why hasn’t he called?” she asked, remembering what they were talking about. “Did he find anything out?” She smirked a little, raising a brow.

[Tommy Reynolds]

Tommy watched Jessi wander toward the back of the store. "No idea, hmmm?" he smiled and then fell silent as she called to Jess. A supicious look was on her face, but the cashier was enough to pull her attention away. "That girl is going to kill me," he muttered and then sighed thickly. Forcing a smile, he looked at Jess as she came back over.

"Well, I should let you girls finish up your shopping. I'm gonna head home," he said and grabbed Marissa in a one arm hug, then released he and stepped closer to Jess. "See you around," he said and pulled her to him with his free arm and planted a kiss on her. Just a quick peck, then turned and walked out sipping his drink.

[Jessica Andrews]

Jess' jaw literally dropped to the floor at Marissa's little comments. So that's what they were talking about. Okay so it wasn't really a big shocker but still. She wasn't ready to tell Marissa and apparently Tommy already told her. Before she could answer Tommy made a smart move by leaving. Jess was still frozen in place with her jaw dropped as she watched Tommy hug Marissa. When he walked over to her, she closed her mouth and her heart did weird things again when she felt his lips on hers even if it was for a second or two. She watched him leave and was safe to say that she didn't want him to. But she wasn't telling Marissa that.

Speaking of Marissa. She gave her a dirty look, "Not another word out of you." She warned her and tried to ignore the huge smile on Marissa's face. God only knew what she was going to say next. "Just remember who bailed you out of jail today and many times before."
