Jealousy
You were on a holiday for the summer over in France to go see your long time friend, Jerome, and his friend, Prince. They were living it up over there and invited you to join them, so you thought why not. You arrive at the airport and see Jerome standing there with a big goofy smile on his face, you couldn't help but laugh as you walk up to him and hug him.
"Hey Rome." You say with a laugh.
"Hey Y/N. How have you been girl?" He asks, hugging you back.
"I've been great, so happy to be here." You smile.
You hear someone clear their throat and look to your left, standing there and looking at you was his friend, Prince.
"Are you going to introduce me, Jerome?" Prince asks, not breaking eye contact with you.
Jerome extends his hand between you and Prince.
"Prince, this is Y/N." He says.
Prince's stare at you gets more intense, you don't know what it is, but something about him draws him to you.
"Y/N, this is my buddy well more like brother, Prince." Jerome says proudly.
You smile and nod, Prince takes your hand and gently places a tender kiss on the back of it, making you blush. He smirks and lets go, you put your hand back by your side.
"Lets go!" Jerome says clearing his throat.
The three of us head back to their apartment, Jerome helps you settle in. After all that's done the three of you sit outside on the patio, talking.
"So, Y/N, anything new?" Jerome asks.
"I got a promotion." You say proudly.
"What? No way! How come you didn't tell me?" Jerome asks.
"Well I'm telling you now!" You laugh.
"That's awesome! Congrats, you deserve it." He kisses your cheek and you smile.
Prince smiles at you.
"What do you do for work, Y/N?" He asks.
"I am now a high school teacher, I used to be just an assistant teacher aide." You smile.
Prince smiles and nods.
"Wow, congratulations." He says.
"Thank you, Prince." You say.
Jerome stands up.
"I'm gonna go get started on lunch, I'll be back in awhile." He says and disappears into the kitchen.
Prince stands up and extends his hand out to you, you look up at him in a confusing manner.
"Take my hand." He says.
You take his hand, he gently pulls you close to him. He places your hand on his shoulder and he places his free hand on your waist, he smiles at you.
"There's no music." You giggle.
"We don't need it." He smirks.
You two start to slow dance, it was nice. He was really something else, the mystery, the charm. He decided to lean his head back a little to look at you.
"How long have you and Jerome been friends for?" He asks while looking at you.
"Since we were kids." You state, looking back at him.
"It was nice of you to come out here and see him." He says.
"I wanted to see him, it's been awhile and I needed a break." You sigh.
"Something troubling you?" He asks.
"Just stresses of the job." You say.
"There's no one special in your life?" He asks. So smooth.
He kinda looks down when he asks. If you didn't know any better he kind of looked afraid of your answer.
"No. There's not." You answer.
His eyes lit up, you smirk.
"What about you?" You ask.
"Nope. I don't." He says.
Jerome comes out and places the food on the table, he crosses his arms and stares at the both of you. He clears his throat, you both look at him, removing your hands from each other. Jerome sits down and looks at you both, he doesn't look amused.
"Are you two done?" Jerome asks.
"Yes." You say, embarrassingly.
You and Prince exchange looks before sitting down, not one of you say a word throughout lunch. You can't get why Jerome's bothered about you and Prince being close and talking. You need to talk to him, Prince speaks up.
"So, Y/N, do you wanna come with Jerome and I to a party tonight?" Prince asks.
You look up at him.
"Party?" You ask.
"Yeah there's a big party downtown. You have to dress fancy though." He smirks.
You nod, You look over at Jerome.
"Should be fun." You say.
"Yeah." He says bluntly.
You frown, you really want to know what's wrong with him. The three of you finish lunch and go your seperate ways to get ready for the party. Jerome goes into Prince's room, Prince looks up at him.
"Jerome? What's up man?" He asks him, with his towel wrapped around his waist.
"What's your deal?" Jerome asks him.
"What are you talking about?" Prince questions him.
"Why are you so chummy with Y/N? What game are you playing?" Jerome questions him.
"Nothing. I just like her, she's a nice girl. I'm just getting to know her. You need to chill out, man." Prince scoffs.
As Prince walks passed him, Jerome trips him over. Prince lands on his behind, he looks up at Jerome giving him a dirty look.
"What the hell is your problem man? If I didn't know any better...I'd say you're jealous of me spending time with Y/N. Snap out of it, fool!" Prince yells.
Jerome snickers and returns to his own room. Once everyone was ready they all went to the club downtown. When you all arrived you were in awe, the place was amazing. There were people everywhere. It was fancy like Prince said. The three of you walk in and get some drinks.
"Wow this is great. Thanks for inviting me guys." You smile.
"No problem." Prince smiles.
"Yeah, it's nice." Jerome says.
Jerome squints his eyes at Prince, you catch onto it. You grunt in frustration and set your drink down.
"Alright I've had it. What the hell is the matter with you?" You glare at Jerome.
"What?" Jerome asks.
"You've been acting like an asshole since lunch. Why?" You interrogated.
"It's jealousy." Prince protests.
You look at Prince in confusion then at Jerome.
"Is it?" You ask him, "Answer me."
Jerome still doesn't say anything, he just looks at the ground.
"Wow." You say as you begin to walk away.
"Wait." Jerome calls out.
You stop and look at him.
"Yes I may be jealous. And for that I'm sorry, it's just ever since you got here you've been with him and not me." He sighs.
You sigh and place your hands on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Rome. I don't mean to shut you out. I'm just getting to know Prince, isn't that what you want? For me and your friend to get along?" You ask.
"Yes but he seems to like you a lot." He says.
"Really?" You ask.
"Yes. I just don't want you getting hurt." Jerome says with concern.
You couldn't help but smile, you and Jerome have always looked out for each other. At one point you two even tried giving dating a go but it never worked out, you two are just too good of friends and didn't want to ruin it.
"Thank you, Rome. I love you." You say.
You got another drink and headed out on the balcony, Prince soon appeared. He looks at you with a sympathetic smile.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"I'm good, thank you." You smile.
"Jerome means well." He says.
"He does. He's just looking out for me." You say.
"He's right about one thing." Prince says.
You look at him.
"What's that?" You ask.
"I do like you...a lot." He admits, staring at you.
His stare goes from your eyes to your lips, you both slowly lean in. He presses his lips against yours, you give into the kiss. The kiss was nothing like you ever felt before, the electricity you were feeling was arousing. Moments later he pulls away and looks at you.
"Will you be mine?" He asks.
"Yes. You might have to ask Jerome first though." You snicker.
He laughs and kisses you again.
