Chapter 4

The next morning I woke up to see my bed was empty and the TV was off. I rose up looking around the room; his clothes were gone off my couch. My room door was closed and the place were Randy had slept was folded back so I wouldn't get cold.

I threw the covers back and got up not bothering to stretch. I moved to the other side of my bed going to the door, maybe he was in the shower. I opened the door to peek out and saw that no one was in there. This made me even more nervous now; I knew I should have waited for the right time for our first time.

I came back in my bedroom laying back in my bed, maybe he was in a hurry. I rolled over gently grabbing the pillow that he slept on, it smelled like him. The phone in the living room began to ring; I could hear my mom yelling at my brother to grab it, before they hang up. After more than fifteen minutes of hearing only whispers, my guess she probably talking to someone she knew though I was still half asleep. A soft knock came on my door and then it opened to reveal my mom happy as can be at this time of morning.

She handed me the phone giving me an excited smile that told me she really like Randy and also liked that I was finally happy. I waited a few minutes, before taking the phone afraid my voice would sound hoarse or something. Then I finally took it with a deep breath, before putting it to my ear.

"Hello." I said sadly.

"Hey baby." He said happily.

"Hey." I said shyly.

"I'm sorry I had to leave this morning I had to catch an early flight because of Hunter." He said sadly.

"It's fine don't worry about it."

I tried to sound normal instead of sad, I didn't want him feeling any worse than he already does right now. His voice sounded sorry and like he missed me, but I want him to admit, before I do. My heart was skipping beats so loud that the neighbors two blocks away could hear it I bet.

"I'll be down this weekend; I can make it up to you then."

"No rushing off?" I asked excited.

He laughed at the question thinking I was joking, but I'm serious. A relationship needs time to put into it to make it work. Like a car needs parts to run. What was funny? I wasn't laughing. Maybe I should ask him, but I don't want to get him mad.

"No, I won't."

"Good."

"I got to go babe, bye."

Just like that he hung up without even I miss you. I would say I love you to, but the words seemed useless with him. I felt like crying, but didn't it would probably down my mom and make her mad at Randy so I couldn't see him this week. It still could be early though maybe I'm jumping the gun.

My mom came back in; clearly she was listening in on the door with a glass. She popped in half-way giving me a lovely smile and I already knew she wanted to know what had happened between me and him. In all honesty I don't know myself it was more like a 10 second conversation than a real let's talk honey since I just had to up and leave this morning for a flight instead of waKing you up, I let you sleep.

I waved her in trying to hide that I was secretly mad at him, I know he sad he was sorry, but the least he could do is wake me up to tell me goodbye. She sat down on the bed; she had an idea in her head. I knew because she never stayed quiet until I asked it out her.

"Do you know my explorer outside?" She asked excitedly.

"Yeah." I said closing my eyes.

"It's yours if you want it." She said quickly.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Jay's got my firebird fixed and I think it's high time you got a car."

Jay was the friend of the family, a biggest flirt to especially to me. He knew it would never be, but still tried his best all the time. Everyone loved him and his ability to fix cars cheaper than my mom's old mechanic shop person or whatever you want to call him. Randy's shop.

"I'll pay you for it every dime; I've got 2000 dollars right now."

"It doesn't matter."

I pulled the covers down and got up to go over to my jewelry box to get out my money that I had saved. I had to get my permit, before I could do anything. Before I knew it she was already telling me to get ready and I could go take my permit test.

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. So I sat down on the couch, I knew the book by heart all I do is study do when the time came for me to take the test I wouldn't have to do any last minute studying. I did that once and when I got up there I forgot everything, but I missed it by one point.

After taking and passing my test the rest of the week flew by fast as I waited for Randy to get here. I was both nervous and relaxed; I didn't even know you could be both until now. I had nothing to do, but wait. If I left I would probably miss him and that's time wasted. I don't want to waste any time this weekend.

But then again, I don't want to seem up tight with him. What would he think? The dogs were barking when I stopped talking to myself, I finally noticed. Before anyone else could get to the door, I ran start for it right when he knocked on the door. I opened the door and hugged him so much that I felt like it years had passed since I last saw him. He smirked kissing me slowly and grabbing my hand moving toward my bedroom. He said hello to my mom and went in after me. I sat down patting on the bed for him to sit down.

He did kissing me lightly, I could tell he was just waking up from the way his voice was kind of hoarse. I got up walking over to my fridge and grabbing a bottle of water for him then sitting back down beside him. Before I could get comfortable, he pulled me on his lap making me look him start in the eye.

"I been doing a lot of thinking lately and you can quit your job at the hotel, I can send you money or you can move in with me." He said clearly.

"I can't do that." I said sadly.

"Why?" He asked confuesed.

"I've got school, my family, and I can't drive at all yet I just got my permit, I can't legally drive without someone in the car with me." I said trying to figure out whether or not I want to go or not.

"My mom's up there and I can get you homeschooled if you like." He said slowly.

"Babe, I don't want to bother your family." I said looking dead at him.

"You wouldn't." He said eagarly.

"Also don't like to spend all the time in your house all by myself." I said looking down now.

"Then travel with me." He said caringly.

"I don't know." I whispered slowly.

"Think about it and I'll talk to your mom." He asked quickly.

Before I could get another word in, he was off the bed and into the kitchen to speak to my mom. Was this a good idea? It was a good chance to spend some time together and not have to worry about cheating or anything.

I don't know though, I just need more time to think about it. I got up grabbing my light jacket. I had almost forgot that I had to take my car over to Jay's to have it checked out. A few minutes later, I came out to see Randy sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee.

I shook my head grabbing my keys and cell phone. Randy looked over at me when I glance an eye at him. I could see he was curious about me leaving, so I turned around to him leaning on the counter. He looked so cute that my heart was pounding in my ears so loud I could barely hear his voice.

"Where you going?" He asked trying to hide in curiousity.

"Over to Jay's garage." I said slowly.

"Oh." He said cooly.

He seemed cool, but you could tell he was a little hurt. So I decided to invite him, I mean after all he is my boyfriend and it gives us a chance to talk on the ride over there. What could be so bad? Jay's flirting. Dang it, oh well I guess I could give Jay the evil eye.

"Want to come?" I asked sweetly.

He nodded raising up from the kitchen chair and getting one last sip from his coffee, before coming over to me and grabbing my hand in his as he gave me a kiss on the forehead. He told my mom bye before we left.

The whole car ride was not what I expected. All the quiet made me feel so uncomfortable, I couldn't tell if anything is wrong with him though. He seemed alright like he didn't care whether we did or not. Jay wasn't there so I just dropped it off and took his jeep, since I didn't have any other way home. He wouldn't mind.

When we got back home from Jay's, he wanted to borrow my mom's car, so she gave him the keys and he gave me a gentle kiss goodbye. He told me he would be back in an hour; maybe he had a meeting, or he had to work out at the gym. The hour passed quickly with me walking back and forth in my room as I watched the three dollar clock on my wall and then I would look at my alarm clock to make sure it was the right time on both.

Hours had passed not a phone call or anything; this made me worry even more and more as the time passed. I sat up until 11:30 when I couldn't hold my eyes open anymore. I felt a warm arm across my stomach and a woman's scent coming off his clothing. I looked at the clock it was 3:30 in the morning.

I raised up rubbing my sleep eyes and turning toward him. He was lying awake looking at the ceiling. Should I let it go or talk to him? That's the main question right now, I'm falling in love with the man right here. So I decided to hear his side of the story, maybe it would be a good one that made me laugh.

"Why do you have a woman's scent on you?" I asked sleepily

"Sorry I came out of the meeting with Hunter and a whole bunch of girls were everywhere in front of the hotel." He said looking over at me.

"I guess the next thing you're going to tell me is that they just happened to jump all over you right." I said shaking my head.

He looked shocked at what I said, just as I thought he cheated on me. We haven't been together for a month and he's already cheating on me. Why? That's all I want to know. Ain't I good enough for him? Right now I'm too mad to even cry, so I just pointed to the door hoping he would get the message.

He grabbed his pillow and some cover, before he slipped over to the couch to sleep. I'm going to deal with this in the morning, I just hope he would have the most awful sleep he has ever had on that couch. I laid back down covering up. I was asleep before I knew it as my mind waited the morning to come, so I can straighten this whole thing out with me and him.

Reviews please thanks. Love Ya.
