Complications (Chapter 19)

"I'll tell you what's wrong; he cheated on me!" That took me by surprise. I knew that Tahi was Fala's boyfriend (a pang of jealous hit) but this was new.
"I told you, I didn't cheat on you! I was with my sister!"
"And your sister has blond hair and blue eye and looks nothing like you?! Fat chance!"
"She is my sister! My half sister, but we're still related!"
"And I couldn't possibly be helping him to cheat on you because I'm lesbian." We all stopped talking at that. I turned around to see a beautiful woman who was in fact blonde and blue eyed.
"That...simplifies things I suppose." I managed to say.
"So then you're really telling the truth, Tahi?"
"Of course I am, Fala. Didn't I say I wasn't lying?"
"Yes...and no. Depends on what you mean by that because he didn't say those exact words-"
"Faalan, shut up." I closed my mouth. I couldn't help it. I just got like that sometimes.
"I'm sorry I thought that you were cheating on me, Tahi."
"It's okay, Fala. Just know that I love you."
"Okay, hold on a second!" I was seething with jealousy and anger now.
"Why?"
"Did Fala even tell you about me?" She paled and I wished I had shut my mouth.
"What happened between you and Fala?"
"I love her, that's what!" I snapped and immediately felt guilty, for she paled even more. Tahi narrowed his eyes.
"She's mine. I have first claim."
"So? I love her more!"
"Yeah right! I've known her longer and lived with her for several years now!" Whoa. Wait, he lived with her?!
"I killed a man with her!" Oops. That came out wrong.
"You what?!" Tahi looked absolutely furious.
"Tahi, it's not like you think it-" Fala began to say.
"You forced her into it didn't you!" He pointed an accusing finger at me as he pulled Fala to his chest. I resisted the urge to rip his arm off and take Fala from him.
"I didn't! I-"
"See! You're hesitating! You did force her into it! You bastard!" A swirl of plants shot up from his feet and then surrounded them. When the plants disappeared, they were gone as well.
"Good luck buddy." I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Tahi's half-sister.
"Err... Thanks." She disappeared in a flash of light. I sighed. They both had a thing for exits with a flare.
And then all the anger rushed back into me. Growling, I opened my mind and searched for their minds. I found Fala's first and his nearby.
Fala was my girl, not his. I didn't care if he'd known her longer. He couldn't possibly know how much I loved her. And I was going to go there and show him what we'd done together and what I'd done to get here.

AN: Um... This chapter complicates things a bit doesn't it? ^_^
