Wanted (Wanted 1)

Jefferson shut his eyes for a second.

Was he even planning on saying he was sorry to Ari and Ellie?

“Look Ellie…. Gunner made blueberry muffins. Isn’t that so sweet? Some guys are just like that…. . caring…. they know how the little things just makes a woman so happy. ” Ari said as she leaned against the counter and stared Jeff down. She had been sending someone a text message right before.

I did not like where this was going.

“Ari, can I speak with you in private please?” Jeff asked as he stood up.

“Um, no…. ” Ari said as she picked up a muffin and started to put butter on it.

Jeff was running his hands down his face clearly getting frustrated. He let out a loud sigh. “Please…. I really need to talk to you………. please. ”

Ari looked up at Jeff and I swear if looks could kill Jeff would have been on the floor. “Whatever you have to say to me you can say it in front of my friends. You know what those are, don’t you Jeff? Oh…wait…the type of friends that you have……you fuck them in your room during your sister’s graduation party. ”

“Ari that is enough, he just wants to talk to you. ” Ellie said as she looked back and forth between Ari and Jeff.

Fuck me…. this was not going to go well at all.

“No this is fine Ellie. If this is how Ari wants to have this go down then that is fine by me. I was going to apologize for my comment last night that embarrassed you. It was very insensitive of me to bring up the fact that you are still a virgin and that your fucking dry humping every guy at the party might give them the wrong impression you were ready to give it up. ” Jeff said as he slammed his bottle water down.

This was like a fucking train wreck that I couldn’t stop watching.

“JEFFERSON! Oh my god! How could you say that to her right now after what you did to her last night?” Ellie said as she stood up and walked up to Jeff.

“What…what did I do to her Ellie? I was trying to apologize and she is being a bitch about it. ” Jeff said as he turned to look at Ari.

She was just standing there with a blank expression on her face. “You SLEPT with that girl Jefferson. You knew that was going to hurt Ari…you knew it would. ” Ellie said with a crack in her voice.

“Is that what it is Ari? Are you upset because I slept with another girl because the last time I checked sweetheart…. I didn’t have a fucking girlfriend. ” Jeff shouted at Ari.

“Do not call me sweetheart you son of a bitch. ” Ari said as a tear started to roll down her face.

“Jeff, let’s just back off here for a minute. Dude I see where you are going with this and dude I get it but…. . ”

“What?” Ellie said as she turned and gave me a shitty look.

Oh fuck…. .

“So Gunner…. . you think what Jefferson did to Ari was okay because they’re not dating? You and I both know they have feelings for each other. ” Ellie said as she put her hands on her hips.

Shit she was cute when she was mad.

“Now wait a minute Ellie; don’t turn this around on me now. That is not what I was going to say. I was just saying that it is true…. Ari and Jeff are not dating and really he could see or date anyone he wants. I’m not excusing what he did it’s just…. it’s just…. ” Oh why the fuck did I think I just stuck my foot in my damn mouth. Stop talking Gunner….

“Can I just please say that I could care less what this dickwad does okay? So Jeff…have at it …. fuck whoever you damn well please ‘cause you are right, we have nothing together. Never have and you made it very clear last night, we never will. I got your message loud and clear. ” Ari said as she wiped a tear from her face.

“Fuck, Ari please just let me explain…. I was not trying to hurt you last night. I just got angry and you where flirting and…. . ”

Ellie wasn’t done with me though and she cut Jeff off…. .

“So wait…Gunner. Does this mean if I had been dancing with one of the other guys all night and made you all hot and bothered, you would have gone off and fucked Crysti to help satisfy your hard on? Because that is pretty much what you did right Jefferson?” Ellie said as she walked over to Ari who was now just as confused as I was. How the hell did this turn around onto me?

“NO! Ellie, I wouldn’t do that to you but they’re not dating. ”

“Neither are we Gunner……thank god for that!” Ellie turned and walked to my bedroom.

Oh holy fuck……. . I started to follow her. How the hell did this just happen?
