Rob was sitting in his apartment, still staring at the phone. Gemma was at Mike’s? Something wasn’t right there. He had been so shocked to hear her voice that he hadn’t known any other way out but to hang up. All this couldn’t mean what he thought … could it? Gemma and Mike? Rob shook his head and got up from his seat, and started to wander around in his apartment, trying to clear his mind. They couldn’t have, they would never do that. Not now. Rob felt a big lump form itself in his throat and his eyes glazed over with tears. ‘No’ he thought to himself and wiped away a tear before it could begin its journey down his cheek. ‘No’. He went back into the kitchen and sat down. ‘No’.
Rob got abruptly pulled out of a slumber and found himself having dozed off with his head in his hands by the kitchen table. First he couldn’t identify the sound. He picked up the phone – nothing. He sat for a second and gathered his thoughts as the sound formed into the doorbell. He got up and ran a hand through his hair, trying to wake himself up. He was immensely groggy but managed to reach the front door feeling a little more clear in his mind. He straightened out his t-shirt and opened the door. The sight in front of him made him want to both shut the door again and embrace the person standing there. He went with something in between and stood there looking at her. Her. She had puffy eyes and he immediately felt great compassion and he wanted to comfort her. Trying to find the words, he opened the door a bit more, wanting to let her in. She didn’t move. He walked up to her and placed his arms around her waist.
“There’s my girl.” He looked her deep into her eyes and saw no sign of joy – this wasn’t the Gemma he was with this morning. When she didn’t reply, he gently rubbed her lower waist with his hands.
“You are still my girl, right?” He asked her still keeping eye contact, but getting a nervous twitch running through his body as there was still no reply from her.
“I don’t think I like where this is going.” He slowly removed his hands from her waist and turned stone faced.
“Do you even want to come in?” Rob turned away from her and made his way into the kitchen. He listened carefully as he heard the door close and the feeling of her right behind him.
Sat opposite each other in the kitchen, they were looking around the room, avoiding all eye contact.
“So… were you planning on speaking… I need something from you. Anyt.” R.” Rob finally let his eyes fall onto hers and found them to be looking at him too.
“Yeah… “ Gemma nodded not knowing what to say. She wasn’t sure what he was thinking – how much he thought he knew. She felt her eyes burning from the crying. She wasn’t crying anymore, she was almost all dried out.
“Yeah? Go on…” Rob leaned forward and supported himself on the table with his elbows.
“Before I say anything… I do really …” She stopped midways in her sentence and sighed. “I just… want you to know that I…”
“Get to the point, Gemz. It can’t be all that bad.” Gemma’s look shut up and looked him fearfully into his eyes. “I guess it can…” His voice was wavering and he wanted to push away the thoughts that were running through his mind.
“I’m not the kind of person who…” She stopped again and felt her heart pounding like mad. “… who cheats.” She looked away and closed her eyes momentarily, hating what she was about to say.
“But?” Rob leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms in front of him.
“But… “ She opened her eyes and looked at him.
“Mike?” Rob’s voice was harsh and showed anger. Gemma couldn’t get a single word past her lips but started crying.
“You have to be kidding me…” Rob stood up and sat back down, as if he didn’t know what to do with himself. “Tell me you are kidding.”
“I can’t.” Her words came out as small sobs and he barely heard the words, but the look on her face told him everything he needed to know.
“I can’t deal with this right now… “ He stood up again. “I just can’t…”
“Rob… we have to talk about this…” Her voice was pleading him not to go, but too late. He was already out of the kitchen. She got up and followed him into the living room. “Rob?!”
“When? This morning?” He was sounding unusually cold. She nodded and wiped away tears that weren’t even there.
“Oh my god… “ Rob walked over to the window and closed his eyes. “I feel so stupid.”
“Why?” Her voice was again barely audible.
“I just feel so stupid for believing you… !“ He sighed. “And Mike.”
“Mike?”
“Yeah,” He turned around facing her. “He told me that it was out of his system – and yours too – when you kissed. I guess it wasn’t…!” She didn’t know what to say and looked down facing her own feet. He turned around again, looking out the window, not wanting to see her face.
“I can’t talk to you, Gemma. Not now.” He sighed. “Would you please leave?”
“Leave!?” Gemma’s breath was caught in between sobs as she choked out the word. “But… I love you, Rob.”
“Those words have never meant less to me in my entire life.” He knew that he was being cold hearted, but he just couldn’t deal with hearing her voice or seeing her face right now. Especially hearing her voice utter those words – it was way too painful.
“Rob…” She moved forward putting her arms around him from behind.
“Just don’t.” He tried to pull away but was captured by her firm grip.
“Please… just listen to me for a second.” Her hands moved up and down his chest trying to sooth the pain that she knew he was feeling. Rob found himself leaning up against her body for a second, recognizing the warmth he got inside from her touch, but quickly pushed her arms away from him and walked away.
“I can’t listen to you right now….”
“Just answer me one question, Rob.” Gemma was left standing by the window calling out for Rob who was in the opposite side of the room.
“What?” He sat down on the couch and looked down folding his hands in front of him.
“Did you ever cheat on me with Julia?” She looked at him intensely. “Or Sheena?”
“Sheena…” Rob whispered out the name with great disgust. “Sheena came to me and kissed me. I never kissed back, and I pulled away immediately.” Gemma nodded, believing every word he said, but still needed an answer to the big question.
“Julia?”
“Julia….” Rob nodded. “Julia was before you and I really got together.”
“So you were with Julia? For real?” Gemma needed to know.
“Yeah. Three times. After the party where you and I met … and then a couple of times after that.” Rob was seemingly reluctant to say anything to Gemma, but couldn’t find it within him to push her away completely. Even though he wanted to.
“But how come you never told me?” She asked with a hint of nervousness.
“You know I wanted to be with you from the moment we met… “ Rob looked up and found her eyes, still as beautiful as they were this morning – and he hated himself for loving her.
“But still… you obviously went home with Julia… My closest friend in the world. And how come you guys didn’t tell me about it?!”
“You were dating Brandon at the time. We didn’t tell you because … “ He closed his eyes refusing to give into the sadness that was clearly on its way. “Because I didn’t want to ruin the chance … the chance of you loving me back. But there was Julia.” He sighed and looked at her, hoping to get some kind of response, but when she obviously only waited for him to continue, he did so.
“But I guess I don’t have to explain to you how it works when you get physically attracted to someone… lusting for it. That was Julia for me.” Rob shot her a look of confusion. “But then again, who am I to know if you and Mike are more than that?”
“Oh please don’t …” Gemma waved her hands in frustration.
“Don’t what?” Rob’s voice was getting more and more angry. “Don’t what, Gemma?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know I love you.” Gemma felt worn out. She didn’t know what to tell Rob, cause deep within she knew that her actions had ruined any chance of making him believe her words.
“No!?” Rob was now barely looking at her when he spoke. “Well… to be honest, I can’t believe a single word coming out of your mouth right now! And don’t even start telling me that we need to talk about what happened between you and Mike… cause I really don’t want to know.”
“What are you trying to tell me?” Gemma felt herself on the verge of tears again, as she already knew what he was going to say next.
“I’m trying to tell you that I can’t love you without getting hurt.” He got up from the couch and walked over to her. “And…” Tears were glazing over his eyes and the second he blinked; they came rushing down over his cheeks.
“And?” She had now completely given in to the fresh tears filling up the corners of her eyes, and they were slowly making their way down.
“And I’m sorry. But it’s…” Rob wiped away the tears that were steadily flowing by now and looked her into her eyes – his eyes were sadder than angry now. “It’s … over.”
