DISCLAIMER

This JOIP takes place immediately after the events of my latest Cathy Kelley JOIP. If you are unfamiliar with it or need a reminder, you can read through it HERE before starting this JOIP

This picture and the two after it lead right in to the start of the JOIP. If you're familiar with the story, you can scroll passed them to start the proper Gigi JOIP.

After knocking on her door and waiting around in the rain for a minute, Gigi doesn’t open up, so you fumble around in your pocket looking for your key to let yourself in. Eventually you find it and unlock the door and head inside, still totally unsure on how you’re going to tell her about Cathy, or more importantly, how she’s going to react to it.

Gigi - “Hello? [Your name]? Is that you?”

You - “It’s me Priscilla. Sorry about barging in, it’s pouring out there and I tried knocking.”

Gigi - “Good thing I gave you that key then. I’m just getting ready for bed, I’ll be out there in a few minutes.”

You - “No problem… Take your time.”

She could take all night in there and it still wouldn’t be enough time for you to find the right words to say to her. You head into the kitchen and grab a glass of water, still exhausted from your time with Cathy. With your heart beating a mile a minute, you lean on the counter and wait for Gigi to finish up in the bathroom.

From now on, whenever you see this ["YN"], just read it as Gigi saying your first name

Finally, after a few agonizing minutes, you hear the bathroom door swing open and see Gigi walking over to you. Once she gets to you, she embraces you in a hug before going in for a tender kiss, then reaching down and taking your hands into hers and looks into your eyes, but you can barely look back into hers.

Gigi - "What's wrong, babe? Are you sure you're okay?"

You - "I'm... fine Priscilla... It's ju-"

Gigi - "Really? You don't look okay... Tell me what's wrong, you can talk to me, [YN]."

You - "Sorry... I know... You're right... Honestly... No, I'm not okay."

She kisses you again and goes in for another hug, and as she wraps her arms around you, you can hear her start to sniff you.

Gigi - "You smell... bad. What happened?"

You - "Sorry... I didn't have time to shower afterwards."

Gigi - "Stop apologizing... Just tell me what has you so upset? Didn't have time to shower after what?"

You - "Sor-... Let's go to the living room. I'd rather do this sitting down..."

Gigi - "okaaaaaay..."

With her hand in yours, Gigi quietly follows behind you as you head into her living room.

You sit on the couch and she sits down beside you, and keeps holding your hands as she looks over at you and waits for you to speak.

You - "I uh... Really don't know how to start..."

Gigi - "Just tell me what's wrong... You're scaring me, [YN]..."

You - "Fuck... Alright... Here it goes... Remember a few months ago, I told you that I uh... "met up" with Liv Morgan?"

Gigi - "Yeah, we talked about it... I told you it was fine, we weren't that serious back then."

You - "I know... But I didn't tell you everything. After we were done she uh... She mentioned that Cathy Kelley had been talking about me a lot lately..."

Gigi - "Cathy... You used to date her, right?"

You - "I did... On and off again for a couple years."

Gigi - "Alright... So... Your ex girlfriend from years ago still talks about you... So what?"

You - "We kind of... Well, I kind of ended things in a shitty way... So I went to see her..."

You watch her and can see the gears starting to turn in Gigi's head as she pieces things together, and you start to prepare for the worst.

Gigi - "When... When did you... When did you see her?"

You - "Tonight... A few hours ago... I went there to... I don't know, give her closure or something. She yelled at me for a while, which I deserved. Then she calmed down and we sort of talked it out. I thought we were fine... until she kissed me."

Gigi - "She... Kissed you? That's what you're so worried about? A kiss? Babe... That's nothing!"

You - "No... Please, let me finish... She kissed me, and I told her I was with you now. She... Did not like that and kind of went off the rails, so I tried to leave but she stopped me."

Gigi - "She's like 100 pounds... I've seen you without a shirt on, you could have left if you wanted to."

You - "I know... I could have... But I didn't... She pushed me back against the wall and... Well... I think you know the rest..."

Gigi - "oh... um... wow... ok..."

Your heart drops as Gigi lets go of your hands and looks down at the floor as she slides further away from you on the couch.

You - "Fuck... I'm so fucking sorry, Priscilla... If you want me to leave just tell me... I understand... If you never want to see me again... I get it"

Gigi - "No... Just... Please... Let me think for a minute..."

You - "Of course... Take your time... Again... I'm so fucking sorry, you don't deserve any of this..."

You try to rub her shoulder as she thinks, but she pulls her arm away from you and turns away to the side. After what feels like a lifetime, she takes a deep breath and looks over at you, and your heart shatters when you see the tears in her eyes.

Gigi - "Do you still care about her?"

You - "Cathy? No, not at all. I care about you, Priscilla."

Gigi - "Ha... Then why? Why fuck your ex if you care about me?"

You - "I... I don't know... I tried to stop her... But she kept insulting you... calling you all these awful things and I just... Got so angry... So I took it out on her..."

Gigi - "Did you... Hurt her?"

You - "What? Of course not. At least not in ways that she didn't enjoy."

Gigi - "Ew... Fucking... Gross..."

You - "You're right, I'm sorry... Look... I know that this doesn't make what I did okay... But I hated myself while it was happening, I regretted it the entire time. I did it because I was angry, not because I still had feelings for Cathy."

Gigi - "But you still did it..."

You - "Yeah... I did..."

Gigi - "I'm gonna... Go take another bath and digest this... You... Just stay here."

You - "Of course... Whatever you decide... I'll understand. I fucked up, Priscilla... whatever happens next is all my fault."

She gets up and heads to the bathroom without a word, and you're left there sitting in her living room with your head in your hands, anxiously waiting for her to decide the fate of your relationship.

After the longest half hour of your life, Gigi comes out of the bathroom and quickly heads into her room to change before joining you on the couch again. You feel a weight lifted off your chest as she sits down close to you and takes your hands into hers again.

Gigi - "Alright... Listen... Earlier, you were right."

You - "About?"

Gigi - "You fucking up. You did fuck up. But you know you fucked up and what was the first thing you did afterwards?"

You - "I texted you."

Gigi -"Right. That doesn't fully absolve you or anything, but it counts for something. So you were right about that, but you were wrong about something else. It wasn't all your fault."

You -"Stop. What happened tonight was not your fault. It was mine. I fucked up, not you."

Gigi - "But you're wrong... I did fuck up... And it's at least partially my fault."

You - "How could it possibly be your fault, Priscilla?"
