After the plane landed it was decided you would drive my car to my apartment. I am so nervous I am shaking. You reach across the seat and take my left hand into your strong. reassuring grasp. As you rub circles on the top of my hand with your thumb. I calm down and relax. As you pull into a parking spot at my apartment building my nervousness comes back. But this time for a difference reason.
Emily has never seen my place. What is she doesn't like it. Did I remember to clean before New York? Oh god, I hope there aren't any dirty dishes in the sink or dirty clothes strewn across my bedroom floor.
I'm pulled out of my little panic attack by the sound of your car door shutting. I get out and lead us to my apartment as you carry our bags. I unlock the door, open it, and usher you inside. As you put the bags down, I do a quick scan of the living room to see if it is tidy before looking to you to see your reaction of my home.
"Home Sweet Home." I say to break the deafening silence that has built since the plane landed
"JJ, it's lovely. Its you." You say with a smile. You sit down in the corner of my couch and beckon me to come sit by you. Instead, I lay down with my head in your lap just like on the plane. Your fingers start stroking my hair and I let out a sigh.
"JJ, honey it's going to be fine. Just call Will and ask him to come over. When he gets here tell him you need to talk. Have him sit down and then tell him. He'll be upset and you'll talk. Then he will leave. After he's gone you'll come back to your bedroom, we will crawl under the covers and fall asleep in each others arms. Safe and secure, surrounded by love." You lean your head down and kiss me softly. It's a kiss so full of love I get overwhelmed and tears form in my eyes. What did I do to deserve a woman like you?
I sit up and call Will. "Hey Will…Yeah we just got back. Why don't you come over, we need to talk… Okay see you in 15 minutes." I close my phone and lean into you. We sit this way for 10 minutes, your arm around me supporting and comforting me.
"He'll be here in a minute." I say and get up. You get up, grab out our ready bags, and follow me to my bedroom. You set the bags down and I give you a quick kiss before I go to answer the knocking on the door
I open the door to Will. He takes me in his arms and whispers in my ear. "Jayjay, I'm glad you're okay." Before kissing me. I push at his chest and turn my head to break the kiss.
"Will, we need to talk. Why don't you sit down." I say while putting some distance between us.
"I know Jayjay. We're over. You're in love with Emily. I've always known I was walking on borrowed time, that it was only a matter of time before you realized you were in love with Emily." He says.
I stare at him speechless for a minute. I wasn't expecting him to know about Emily. "Will, why would you stay with me if you knew I was in love with someone else." I ask.
"Jayjay, I love you and I was willing to take as much time as I could to be with you. I'm grateful for our time to together and the child we have created. I want to be a part of my child's life and I want you to be happy." He says as he gets up to leave. "Call me."
As I shut the door behind him, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Well that went better than I expected. He really is a decent guy.
I walk back into my bedroom and you engulf me in your arms for a brief hug. Then we climb into bed and fall asleep safe and secure in each other arms, surrounded by love.
