~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jay had been wrestling with his own subconscious
ever since the day that he met Jana. It had been
almost 3 weeks now and he had yet to say anything to
Bob. Needless to say Jana was growing more and more
impatient. Jay just would not accept the fact that he
needed someone else in life. To him it seemed like a
weakness and not just a weakness. It would mean that
he was gay. And being gay would make him a target,
more so than his mouth already had. Ironically enough
it was this very problem that had caused his original
need for Bob.

When Jay had had enough thinking, and when Bob
started to be vocal about the noticeable difference in
Jay, Jay had suggested that they go to the mall. And
so there they stood in front of the pet store. Bob
standing smoking as usual and Jay staring at the
kitties in an unusual silence. They had sold most of
the days smoke when SHE came walking up. Jay tried to
ignore her presence but Bob spotted her first.

"Hello." Bob said. Causing Jay to whip around and
stare at his companion as he spoke.

"Hi," Jana said, "I hear that you guys are the source
in these parts and 
I am in need of some smoke my good men." Though her
statements were directed at Bob she would often throw
Jay sideways glances, enjoying the look of jealousy in
Jay's eyes.

"We ain't selling anymore today. You should probably
go look for someone else who is still open for
business." Jay said without hesitation as he tugged on
Bob's trench signaling that they should leave.

But it was too late Bob's eyes were transfixed on
the girl in front of him. She was a dream come true.
She looked like Jay, sounded like Jay, hell she even
had the same mannerisms as Jay, but she was female.

"What's your name?" Bob asked ignoring Jay's frantic
tugging.

"Jana." she simply said.

"What's you number?" Bob continued.

"Blunt aren't we. I don't think i should give my
number to a big, scary drug dealer. But you could give
me your's and then wait by the phone till I call. If I
call."

As soon as the words left her mouth Bob was already
handing her a piece of rolling paper with his number
scrawled on it.

"Goodbye Robert." She said walking away.

Bob, now in a dazed state followed Jay outta the
mall not even wondering how the girl had known his
name.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been almost 4 days since the mall encounter
and neither of the boys had heard from Jana. Bob was
hopeful. Jay was pissed. But then as Jay groggily woke
on the 4th morning he found Jana sitting on the edge
of his bed.


"I came to apologize for the scene at the mall." she
said.

"Why the fuck did you do that?" Jay nearly screamed.

"I got sick of waiting for you to say something to him
so i hoped that pointing out how easy it would be to
lose him would kick start you."

"Yeah, did it work? No! You know why? Because now i
really can't say anything to him because that sorry
bitch is too busy waiting by the phone for you to
call."

"You admit that you..."

"YES! I love the tubby bitch, is that what you want to
hear?! I LOVE BOB! I would give anything to have the
courage to say something to him, but no, you fucked it
all up for me. I finally come to terms with something
that has been eating away at my soul.."

"Actually it was more of a nibbling I was feeling.."

" whatever, and now he's waiting by that phone for a
call from someone who is not me. so, FUCK YOU!" 

And with that final outburst the tears came. Jay
dropped his head to his knees as he felt himself being
wrapped in a hug. Once composed again he looked up
only to see that Jana was not there. Bob was hugging
him. And in one horrified moment he realized that Bob
had heard.
