Face dropped the phone back on its cradle, feeling a moment of guilt. He hadn't meant to forget Murdock, but he had been busy with other things… The other thing in question was looking at him, frowning slightly. Face looked at her with one of his best apologetic smiles as he started to throw the covers of the bed off of him. Her hand landed on his wrist, stopping him momentarily.
"Temp, you're not leaving, are you?" She asked, pouting slightly at him.
Face sighed, wishing he wasn't. "Sorry Jess, I've got to. I promised Murdock I'd go pick him up." He was starting to regret telling Murdock he'd be by today. He loved Jess, and had been seeing her now for a couple of months. She knew about his friends, even if she didn't know exactly who they were, and she accepted that he had to leave on business a lot. It was unusual for him to fall for a girl for so long, and very unusual for him to even mention his friends to her.
Face looked at her and thought about it. The love he felt for her went past her beauty. Not that she wasn't beautiful. He had fallen instantly for those light green eyes and flawless skin. Her light brown hair and excellent shape had drawn him in, and as soon as she flashed that brilliant smile he knew he was in love. Yet it was deeper, it was more than her looks. It was how she loved him no matter what he did, no matter where he went. It was that caring look in her eyes. It was the love he felt, deep down, for her. Face wasn't sure if he had ever truly been in love with one of his girlfriends before, but he knew he was now.
He blinked, realizing she was looking at him expectantly. "What?" He asked, knowing she must have said something while he had just been staring at her like an idiot. He covered is sudden embarrassment with an award winning smile, and watched as she smiled in return.
"I asked if you could just stay a few more minutes," She said with an amused tone in her voice. "But you were too busy staring at me to notice. " As she spoke she pulled him back down beside her, trying to make him stay.
Face felt he was making the hardest decision of his life. "But I told him five minutes…" He argued lightly, his mind not really in it. When he realized he was lying down again anyways, he gave her a genuine smile. "Well, I guess a couple minutes couldn't hurt anything…."
