acted on it, Tom?” Tommy was extremely quiet. “Have you?” I shouted. Lena had to have heard me in the other room.
“Yes I have.”
I knew he had, but I wanted to hear it from his own mouth.
“What happened?”
“I kissed her. We were at the beach, just hanging out and I told her I was having feelings for her and I didn't want to act on them because you mean too much to me.”
“You told her that?”
“Yeah.”
“You manipulative motherfucker!”
“What does that mean?”
“It means you played the ‘I'm in love with you but I want to do the noble thing card’. You're a fucking douche bag. You forgot you taught me everything you know, Tommy. That was ‘lesson one’ in the ‘Tommy getting laid handbook’!”
“It's not like that, Josiah. That’s not it at all.”
“But yet, you still waited for an opening, didn’t you? You waited for the right moment to stick your tongue down her throat!”
Tommy was again quiet.
“Am I right? You played her good, didn’t you? Did she bite, Tom? Did she nibble on the line? Did she kiss you back?”
“Yes and no.”
“What the fuck does that mean?”
“It means in the moment she went with it, but only in the moment; within seconds she regretted it and felt awful.”
“What about you? What the fuck did you feel?”
“I felt bad, but...”
“But what? There’s is no but. You are lucky we have a history, Tommy.”
“Why, because you would kick my ass otherwise?”
“No, Tommy, I’m not going to threaten you. You're not worth it. To threaten you would mean I give a shit about you!”
Tommy looked at me shocked as hell. “What are you saying, Josiah?”
“I’m saying that you stepped over a line that can’t be fixed.”
“Okay,” Tommy said quietly. “So, that’s it? You and I are done?”
“I’m sorry that it even started.”
Tommy nodded his head at me. I could tell he felt awful. Then his face turned malicious and he transitioned into the werewolf. I thought he was going to attack me, but instead he crashed through the window and wall panel, spraying glass and wood bits everywhere. Tommy ran up the pathway and leaped over the main fence at the front of the community.
Then I heard a voice in my head and it was Tommy’s. It was short and to the point. “I'm sorry, Josiah.”
Lena rushed into the living room once she heard Tommy crash through the window and wall panel. “What happened?” she yelled.
I looked at her and felt disgust in my heart. The morning sun had now come up over the horizon and Tommy blasting through the window allowed a ton of sunlight to get into the town house.
That sure was considerate of Tommy to make a giant hole in a house filled with vampires.
“Go back to the room, you're going to burn!” I said to Lena.
“What happened, Josiah?”
I calmly looked at Lena and said slowly, “Go back to the room or you’re going to burn!”
Lena knew I wasn't messing around, and it was really the first time I ever threw my weight around when it came to her. Lena turned around and walked slowly back to her room.
I needed to get out of the living room where most of the sunlight was making its way through. I went into Yari's room and shut the door. I took my phone out of my pocket and walked over to Yari’s computer and looked up a twenty-four hour maintenance company in the Google search engine.
I called up the service and told them to come out and fix the window. Also, to put up another panel so no sunlight could make its way into the living room. I added my wife had a very sensitive skin disease. The guys came and were gone in a matter of hours. I gave them Hector's credit card number and they were on their way.
I decided not to head to the back of the house, because I was not ready to confront Lena. I remembered what Goshi had said to me. He told me how my feelings for Lena would get in the way of my true destiny. Today, it was extremely apparent that he was right. But, nonetheless, it's what I had
