A Hidden Gem... Within A Secret Realm

Chapter 2 Good Bye To The Old Gemma, She Now Would Move Over For The New

This next two weeks would be the last two weeks to bring summer to a screeching halt. Since school would certainly start the following Thursday putting a damper on all the fun they had had all summer long.

Gemma was feeling frisky she had been drinking too much Whiskey. She was feeling loose and light. Her body finally grew into her curves and she had gained much needed confidence over the summer. As she swayed and danced to the music she could feel all eyes on her.

At the beginning of summertime she would have felt shy and awkward dancing with her friends on the dance floor, but as summer lingered on and on she learned how to dance better. She had a new vision of herself. As she stared at the image of the broken spirited girl, staring back at her out of the mirror, she focused on the once Hollow and Timid eyes, which had now, taken on a new shine to them. They had even changed form, shape, and color over the past 3 months. They were now a beautiful lavender color and instead of wide shaped eyes they had changed to almond shaped.

Her and her best friend Desiree had been, jogging 2 miles, riding bikes, doing cardio workout tapes, and hanging mostly outside and down by Majestic lake all summer long.

She was overweight for her height. Her 160 pound body that she had let go, by the end of the school last year, was now at 120 pounds soak in wet.

She had even grown 2 inches taller and was now 5'4" instead of her measly 5'2" that she had started out to be at the beginning of the summer.

The one thing that hadn't changed was the strong bond between her and her friends. However she had lost a longtime friend and not so long of a time boyfriend, that that friend had become, right before school's end last year.

Now however, that other guys were beginning to look her way since she, how could she say this, I guess I came into my own she thought and found my way even out of the forest with all the trees, anyway, her Ex-boyfriend Noah, was up to his old tricks again just as he had cheated on her with her ex-best friend Sheila, he had began blowing up her phone again and texting her sexy messages, wanting her to give him a second chance promising all the while still with Sheila. Now Sheila was the one he was trying to fool around on and as much as she would have liked to see them hurt like she was when her boyfriend told her that because she couldn't give him all that he wanted and needed, because she just wasn't ready, that he had found it elsewhere, As a matter of fact he had found it with her best friend and that they had been sleeping together since the beginning of the school year. He informed her she was not at all afraid of s*x with him and because she was great in bed. It is over for us he finally said not beating around the bush at all seeing how they had gotten a little loud and raised their voices yes hers to when she barely spoke at all because of her fear. She was finally finding her voice at the end of the year and as he was standing there telling her all of this stuff. She hadn't noticed that they had begun to draw a crowd around them and Emma the Biggest Mouth of the School was standing there now taking it all in.

He said that he loved Sheila and that I would just have to get over it. With that she raised back her fist and caught him right in the nose, breaking it with one right hook. His nose now bleeding all over the lobby and he just stared back at her like he could not believe that she could do this to him. Looking around the room at most of the faces that knew the two of them so well she was wondering how he could make such a fool out of her in front of all these people including their friends and family. She would definitely lead him on a little longer and make Sheila feel that sense that she may lose him back to the person she originally drove a wedge in-between but she knew she could never be with him again .

She was deep in thought, so deep in thought that she barely noticed the body that was linked to hers so perfectly and the song had changed to " I Was Made For Loving You" she whipped around to see who was using her body as their dancing pole, Low and behold it was her secret love, the one no one knew about not even her friends.

As they danced together she could feel the passion heating up inside her. She wanted to feel him so bad. She had never had this feeling with a guy before. It reminded her of the song "Like A Virgin," by Madonna, every time she was in his arms like this. She didn't really know when it changed. She thought it was sometime last year when they got thrown in the same study group something had changed between them. He no longer made fun of her. She could always find him lurking around when she needed him and even when she didn't. She knew things for him too. She just hadn't realized how much.

As he felt her release into his stronghold he knew he had her and he knew he needed her and wanted her, (more than anything he had ever had before), and he also knew he was falling madly in love with her. All he could do was pray that she didn't know.
