Clutch in, neutral, release clutch, pull hand brake, stop the engine and release the key. LOCK THE CAR. Breath and finally left then right, these were the only thoughts Marina was successfully able to process as she prepared her self for what could be heaven or could be *****.

As she silently made her way down the thin concrete path that lead behind Tims house to reveal a shed she tried in vain to gather her thoughts as to what case she was going to plead. The sound of Jenny clearing her throat in an expectant tone broke her train of thought as she slowly lifted her gaze to meet Jennys ever so unpleased expression.

This did not boost Marinas confidence, Tina had told her to watch her eyes and right now they didnt look happy to see her. They read cold and unforgiving and could only be interpreted in one way; they said what do you want? but werent going to give Marina what she had thrown away.

Marina, What do you want? Jenny asked reaffirming her attitude to the situation.
Jenny, please, all I ask is that you listen to what I have to say and then I will leave. Marina said honestly. Jenny glared at Marina as she thought about what she was going to do, slowly and silently she leaned back from the doorframe indicating for Marina to enter.

Marina let out a sigh of relief to her self and followed Jenny in to her shed/home. Jenny imeaditaly assumed a defensive position on the couch as Marina nervously stood off to the side of the chair on the opposing side of the room.
Well, Im listening Jenny stated coldly
Marina sat down and collected her thoughts before she blurted out something that she would later regret. Fight for what you want she thought to her self.
Jenny all I am asking is that you listen to what I have to say and then I will leave, what you do after is your decision
Jenny simply nodded.

Marina inhaled deeply and then looked Jenny straight in the eye.
Im in love with you, Im an idiot, but I am in love with youI know how much I have hurt you and you have every reason not to want to talk to me I know that not only have I hurt you put really pissed you offfirst with Francesca and then with Robinbut please Jenny believe me when I tell you that I am completely in love with you and I am truly sorry for every thing that I have put you through.

Have you finished your little speech now?

Marina nodded waiting for the response from Jenny.

Good, now its your turn to listen to me. Firstly you have no ***** idea how pissed off I am with you, first you spring the whole Francesca thing on me, now that broke my heart not just because you were the first woman not to mention person that I had ever fallen in love with but also because I broke up with my fianc to be with you! Then I had to swallow my pride and turn up on his front door step because I had nowhere else to go! Then while I was getting over everything you put me through you date the woman I am seeing in some ever so fucked up attempt to show me how much you love me, finally you show up and tell me that your in love with, whilst I will give you credit for at least telling me to my face, it does not fix what you did to me. So yeah you might say that I am a little pissed at you!

Jenny, I told Francesca that I am in love with you and not with her, she told me to get fucked and I gave her half a million dollars for her share of the planet. I now have no reason to see or hear from her again. The thing with Robin was so stupid that I dont even understand how I came up with that! Jenny you are the only person that I have ever truly been in love with, I dont want to let that go, please dont make me have to

Jenny sat back against the back of the couch and brought her leg up so it was under her. Her face read pained and defeated. For so long that was all she wanted to hear and now as the words rang through her ears she was at a loss as to where to go with it. Marina observed Jennys reaction and decided that there was nothing further positive that she could do.

She walked over to where she had placed her wallet and keys, after picking them up she silently headed for the door. She paused momentarily and considered turning to look at Jenny one last time, but decided against it.

Marina left the room and headed to her car with out making a sound other than her shoes on the pavement. From the inside Tim watched the scene play out, although he did not know the full story of what had happened between his ex wife and the woman who had stolen her from him, he felt knew that Jenny made need some one to talk to. He gingerly made his way to the garage and gently knocked on the door. Jennys head lifted from her knees and a soft smile graced her lips. Tim opened the door and stood on the threshold.
You ok?
Um
You want to talk about it?
Do you want to talk about it? Jenny asked bluntly.
Yeah, I would
Ok Jenny paused for a moment and gathered her thoughts. Marina just told me that she is in love with me
Wow Tim said a little taken back by Jennys forwardness.
Yeah Jennys voice trailed off as Tim just looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Jenny, why are you not happy about this?
She broke my heart, I was an experiment for her and nothing more Jenny said sighing
Well it doesnt seem that way now
I know and thats what scares me. I just dont know how long her idea that she is in love with me will last for her
Jen, love is always a gamble, there are no guarantees, look at you and me, and even Bette and Tina.
You make a good point
If she is what you want then you should be with her
You reckon?
