The next morning, Ellie woke up to an empty bed, worrying her but had her mind put to ease when she heard Jesse knock on the bedroom door.
"Good morning, sweetheart." He said carrying a large tray with pancakes, toast, a pitcher of orange juice, and enough plates and cup for two.
Ellie smiled, he could be so romantic sometimes. "Good morning, baby. I see I don't have to make breakfast today," she said as he put the tray on the bed, got in, and gave her a long kiss before starting to dig in.
"Today, you do not have to do anything, except for, maybe, writing your article." Jesse said smiling. "I want that article on my desk at 9:00 tomorrow morning." He said in a fake serious tone making Ellie laugh.
"O, My Mr. Boss man, you can be sure that it will be the most "rockingest" article ever." She said beginning to make out with him. Jesse broke apart; looking at Ellie's confused face, smiled then grabbed the tray and put it down on the floor.
"I don't think we would want to have spilled breakfast all over our bed," he said before continuing their make-out session.
After a while he began to reach for her shirt, she pushed his hands away, "Jesse we can't, the baby," she said knowingly half disappointed that she said that.
"I know but 9 months is a very long time." He said kind of worried.
Ellie looked at him amused, "I guess one last time wouldn't hurt," she said pondering what her doctor said at her last appointment. She didn't say that they couldn't have sex up to the second month but after that they could risk hurting the baby.
"Shall we resume?" he asked pulling her into another deep kiss.
"I guess so," she said teasingly. As they began to passionately kiss, Jesse pulled of her shirt while she somehow managed to get his shirt off as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"El..." he moaned into her mouth. Next, came the pants.
After they were finished, Ellie took a shower while Jesse put his clothes back on. When Ellie finished her shower and got ready for the day ahead, she walked over to the bed where she remembered seeing a piece of paper when she was putting on her makeup after Jesse left for the newspaper company. She picked it up and read it,
El,
This morning was fantastic. I love you. Have a great day today and remember to work on your article!
Love
Jesse
After reading the note, she smiled remembering how lucky she was to have found someone so perfect as Jesse. She was suddenly pulled out of her reverie when the house phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey El," said a familiar voice
"Hey Ash. What's up?"
"Nothing much I just found out that Craig is back in town and is asking about you," she said.
Ellie froze when she heard his name. The name that belonged to the same man who was bi-polar, the same man who dated Manny and for some reason always went back to her, the same man who she sent to Calgary after she used her to keep doing coke. Ellie began to fill with anger.
"I don't want to talk to him," she said coldly. Right after she said this the doorbell rang. "Hey Ash, I'll call you back, someone's at the door."
"Okay. How about we meet at the Dot at around 1:00?"
"Sounds Great. Bye."
"Bye El."
She put down the phone and answered the door. Who she saw on the other side scared her to death.
"Hey El. How have you been?"
