Jono sat on the bus looking out the window as the rain pelted the side. He was on his way to pick up Emily, his girlfriend, well ex girlfriend, from the airport. It was a mutual breakup, though he had no real choice in the matter but she only did it because she was heading overseas and he couldn't justify following her. He'd pondered over why she decided it was best to break up before she left as opposed to when she left.
At the time they were both half way through their Degree when she'd decided it wasn't for her, found a summer holiday camp job half way around the world and booked it in. Breaking up to spend her last few months catching up with friends and family before she was off, potentially forever.
They'd been neighbours in their first year and as they got to know each other over the trimester, Emily made a move on him. Jono wasn't a virgin, but by no means experienced in sex, the only other time was in the back seat of his car after a party. Emily had been a virgin though, and Jono made sure she was comfortable that first magical time. She only complained when he attempted to go a third time the next morning and she had said it was a bit sore, obliging, they'd just cuddled. Getting to fondle her pert breasts was also a fresh, wonderful, experience. Spending hours exploring the rest of her fit body.
Emily had just been to see her sister who was studying medicine up North. Flying up for a week and then back into town for a couple of days with Jono and friends before flying out for the camp. Jono slipped his earbuds back into their case as the bus pulled up. He hopped out and made his way to the Arrivals. Stomach a wreck. Nervous because this was the last few hours he'd get to see her, his love, while also excited because he'd be getting to spend some time with her after a month or so without.
Jono was awestruck when he finally laid eyes on her. Still as he remembered, her gorgeous smile and naturally beautiful face, no makeup required. All five foot six of her was perfect. He hoped he was still allowed to hug, kiss and so much more over the next couple of days. Previous highlights of their past were fresh in his mind. The only thing he felt they'd missed was confirming Emily had ever truly orgasmed. There was the weekend they'd had away when she had said afterwards she'd wanted to scream when he was going down on her. Then the massage on her bed, he had spent a good forty minutes giving her a full body massage, ever so carefully rubbing close and grazing her labia until he could see she was soaked. Managing to undress mid massage without her noticing, positioning himself over her and ploughing deep from behind. She had made some noises that time.
Emily was drinking out of her bottle when she spotted him, eyes smiling, she had walked over and given him a proper lovers hug like nothing had changed. Jono was only able to reciprocate, he'd take everything he could get. Before long Emily was striding along beside him chatting away just like old times. Jono could never understand how she was able to do this, nothing seemed to affect her, while his mind was counting down the minutes until she was gone again. He had reached out for her hand taking hold of it and it helped with the gut wrenching ache.
Back at his flat Jono showed Emily to his room and grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge. They sat down on the end of his bed and Emily had begun to untie her shoes. Jono asked how her sister was. Emily was half way through the second shoe and paused a moment before continuing and dropping it to the floor. She sat up cross legged on the bed and without any preamble said "I slept with my sister's flatmate."
Jono glazed over. The reality he knew evaporated. His head flooded with images, imaginings of what she'd done. The imagination turned to questions and he felt her eyes burn holes into the side of his head. She was needing a reaction, Jono realised, he could lose all of her right then if he acted poorly. Remembering she was no longer 'his' he had no right to be pissed, but fuck that was a lot.
