Although he was not lying to Abel, he was a little scared of telling him that he had spilled the beans to Kieran about their affair. With Kieran he understood that he would never be seeing him again. But Abel...he wasn't so sure what reaction he might have. Part of him simply didn't want to know. He would live longer if he remained ignorant. But the other knew as soon as he came face to face with Kieran he would find out about it.
Jakob continued to cry as he expressed his belief in Kieran not returning. On the other end he head a bit of movement and figured it was just Abel adjusting himself as he listened. Although it wasn't late he had no way of knowing if he had actually been asleep or was still in his office where they had left him. Although he felt bad for bothering him, he was the only person he could think of to call. Abel soon questioned him on his belief and he shook his head. "You didn't see him. He was beyond pissed...Like he wouldn't let go of the fact that I was hanging out at your place. He's convinced himself I've been sleeping with you the whole time behind his back."
Talking to Abel did help some, but he was still a wreck. Jakob wiped the tears as they fell. From the other line he continued to hear movement, which made him curious. Here he was pouring his heart out and Abel couldn't sit still long enough to give him his complete attention. "What are you even doing over there?" he asked randomly. Jakob tried not to let his irritation show. He didn't want the only person willing to listen to his sob story hanging up on him.
He sat there quietly, sniffling, as he could hear the jingle of keys and movement of fabric. He wanted to ask. Was he doing what he thought he was? He didn't want to jinx it. Not yet anyway, first he had to be sure. Abel would likely brush him off for asking stupid questions otherwise.
