100 Moments With You

Joanna stared at the coffee maker. She sighed as she poured the last bit of it into a cherry red mug. Sipping it slowly she trudged to her couch. She grabbed her diary and clicked her pen, ready to write in the newest of her troubles.

"I ran out of coffee. So here I come world…tomorrow." She scribbled into her somewhat used leather diary.

She groaned as she heard her phone ring again. "Don't they get the hint that I'm not going to work today?" She grumbled out loud trying to ignore the annoying sound.

She sighed once again remembering how she had gotten to the pathetic state she was in. And yes, it had all started with Genesis.

It had been New Year's Eve and on that particular night of the year it is customary to drink and get drunk. Of course Joanna had been no exception. She had had a couple shots followed by several alcoholic cherries and then she had the customary glass of champagne in anticipation of the New Year. Needless to say at the end of the night she was drunk. Very, very drunk.

Since it was New Years, there had been the highly awaited countdown and while said countdown took place Joanna had managed to oh so very conveniently end up next to Genesis.

And then came the part after the clock strikes midnight in which it's customary to kiss someone in order to receive good luck and three guesses who that someone turned out to be.

Yes, she had kissed Genesis… again and yet this time it seemed. There wasn't one word that could describe the flood emotions that the kiss had been but she could say with much certainty that it had been different. It hadn't even been in a good different it was more of an "oh shit I am royally screwed" kind of different.

So that was how the almighty Joanna had ended up hiding in her house trying to pretend that the outside world, namely Genesis didn't exist. Yes, she was pathetic and a coward but before all that she put her pride and well that kiss had been a sucker punch to her ego.

Joanna stared at the TV with unfocused eyes; her mind had gone blank several hours ago and now her hazel eyes stared dully at the typical, horrible, afternoon soap opera.

She rolled her eyes at the so called heroine who was nothing more than an overused cliché. She was currently trying to pretend to have no feelings for the male lead and was failing miserably at that. The bored secretary scooped some half melted chocolate ice cream into her mouth.

"Jeez get a room and make out already!" She yelled at the TV, tired of the poorly disguised sexual tension.

"And you should do the same, yo." A male voice chuckled.

Joanna looked toward her front door to see her red headed turk friend. "How exactly did you get into my house, Reno?"

He held up some keys. "I made a copy when you weren't looking."

The secretary shrugged. "Figures." She muttered, getting up from lying on the couch. "So why are you here?"

"You weren't a work for the second day in a row. I had to check up on you and make sure you hadn't died or something because of your hangover." He explained as he flopped onto the couch and took possession of the remote.

"Well that's sweet I guess but you could have done that with a simple phone call."

"Already tried that, yo." He surfed some channels then went back to the channel she had been watching. "Why are you watching this? It's garbage!"

"There's nothing better."

"I can see why you were yelling at the TV." He said distastefully throwing the remote onto the coffee table

"I've got nothing better to do." The brunette shrugged as she went to get something to drink.

"Really? You could always, you know, go to work." Reno yelled from the living room.

She handed him a cold soda. "No."

"Jeez, why are you acting like kissing Genesis is such a big deal?" He asked downing half the drink in one gulp.

"Because it is!" Joanna cried defensively.

"How? I mean I kiss girls all the time and in all honesty, it doesn't mean anything!"

The brunette rolled her eyes as she grabbed a pillow off the couch and wrapped her arms around it. "It's just… I mean, I get what you're trying to say but how do I explain it… It was just a different kind of kiss."

The redhead only have her a skeptical stare with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean, I've kissed Genesis before, many times actually. I may or may not have slept him with him, I'm still pretty sketchy on that but it came pretty darn close to that and not to mention I've seen him half naked but-"

"Wait! What's that about you seeing him half naked?" Reno asked incredulously trying to suppress a smirk.

The brunette blushed and stared at the ground. "Well it's kind of a long story which now that I think about, started at one of your parties!" She gave him a piercing glare.

Reno chuckled. "Go on."

"And well you see… it felt sort of different like… there was point of return. You know?" She asked looking confused.

"I have absolutely no idea, yo." Reno grinned. "But I think I know what you mean."

"Really? Enlighten me." Joanna challenged playfully.

"You like him. I'd even be willing to say you love him." Reno smiled.

"No I don't."

"Yes, you do."

"No. I'm pretty damn sure that I have feelings for Genesis other than hate."

"Hate's a pretty passionate feeling." Reno retorted back.

"Stop being a smart ass." She slapped the red head playfully who gave her his trademark grin

"I'd rather be a smart ass than a dumb ass." He stood up. "Well Joanna, I've gotta go. Go to work, yo!" He called as he walked out.

Joanna grinned as she shook her head. Reno's visit had definitely cheered her up yet there was something nagging a small part of her mind. Was he really right? Did she actually like Genesis as something more than… well whatever he was? She thought about it. That couldn't be possible, right? She couldn't- no, she wouldn't like Genesis Rhapsodos.
