Chapter 7

It was now Christmas time. The motel thing had been forgotten for the most part. Parker was still trying to figure out who the first guy was. He stayed at my house that night and asked me out. Of course I said yes and we spent every single moment we could together. One because we wanted to and two, he felt more protective over me. So I was invited to go to Parker's parent's condo in Vermont for Christmas, and I was spending the night before we left, with him.

I walked around the huge bedroom. Parker's bedroom was more like an apartment. He had a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. He walked out of the bathroom with just a big blue towel around his waist with his wet hair over his forehead. I walked over to him and traced the ripples on his stomach. I could tell he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't stop me. He just looked at me. As I ran my fingers down the middle of his abs the line disappeared under the towel. I pulled my hand back and looked up at him. He sighed deeply.

"Why do you do this to me?" He asked. I shrugged and walked over to his big puffy couch. I sat down and turned on the TV. A moment later he walked over and sat next to me. "No you cannot do that then walk away. God you drive me crazy." I kept looking at the TV like I wasn't listening.

"I know." I said slyly. He grabbed the remote and turned the TV off and pushed me over, climbing on top of me. I giggled.

"Do you know what I should do?" He used his sexy voice. There was a knock on the door and his mother walked in. He jumped back adjusting his disheveled towel.

"Oh good Sapphira you're here. We are leaving at six so don't stay up too late okay? I mean you can sleep in the car but you have to be in there first."

"Mom one she is here all the time so don't sound surprised when she's here now, and two can you wait for a response before just walking in?" His mom walked back to the door.

"Parker I left you condoms in your night stand." She said closing the door behind her. He closed his eyes and faced the ceiling.

"She loves to embarrass me."

"Parker, don't worry about it, I still love you regardless." He smiled and kissed me. Pushing me over again.

"So where was I? Oh yea I know." He pulled my shirt up slowly. As soon as it was over my face and I couldn't move he blew a raspberry on my stomach. He pulled my shirt back down and laughed. I pushed him off of me and sat up.

"You are such a jerk!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry." He continued laughing. Let me change then we can watch a movie or something."

"Alright. I guess but you are still a jerk."

"I'll make it up to you." He walked to his closet. A minute later he walked out wearing a pair of boxing shorts. Sitting back down next to me he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. He flipped for a few minutes before deciding on a horror movie. He placed the remote on the coffee table in front of him and turned toward me. "Take off your shirt." I just looked at him. "Trust me."

"Yea last time I did that you spit on me." I took off my shirt.

"Now lay on your stomach." I did and I felt his legs on either side of me. Then his warm soft hands rub up and down my back. After five minutes of him massaging me I was asleep.

I woke up to a knock on the door. Immediately I sat up and looked around. He must have carried me to the bed. I saw him sleeping soundly next to me. As the knock came again I jumped out of the bed and ran to the door. I peeked my head out.

"It's five time to get up." Mrs. Ogilvie said groggily.

"Okay. I'm getting him up now." She just walked away. I closed the door and walked over to the nightstand that had a small lamp on it. I turned on the light and watched him sleep for a few minutes. After a few minutes I gently rubbed his arms. "Parker, it's time to get up." I said softly. He stirred slightly. I leaned over and kissed his temple. He stirred more and sat up looking frantic.

"Are you okay?" He asked nervously.

"Yea except you almost knocked me out. Your mom says it's time to get up." He flopped back down.

"Ugh, I had the worst dream that you stayed last night and when I woke up you were gone. There was a note that said it's over." He said leaning on his elbows.

"Parker I would never do that. If things were not working out I would tell you. Plus I'm not planning on leaving you anyway." He laid back down and closed his eyes.

"Good, wait til you see what I got you for Christmas."

"What is it?" I asked laying next to him on my stomach. He turned toward me and placed his pointer finger on my nose.

"I'm not telling. You have to wait two days. That's almost how long it will take to get up there. My mom and her pit stops."

"Two days in a car?" I said sitting up.

"No it's like six hours, but with my mom we have to stop every few feet so she can get more booze or pee." He sat up again this time bringing his feet to the side of the bed. He stood up and stretched. His wonderful back flexing. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. As I was peeing Parker walked in. "Come on I gotta go." He did a cute little dance. I stood up and walked over to the sink has he held the wall to stand up. I brushed my teeth quickly and walked out grabbing the bag that I packed my mp3 player and a book in.

"Are you almost done?" I asked holding the bag. He walked out of the bathroom and looked at me.

"What are you doing? Put that bag down." He said grabbing the bag and putting it back down. "I carry that stuff. I'm your boyfriend. It's my job. If I don't do that then what good am I?" He said as he pulled me close for a kiss. After he pulled away I looked into his eyes.

"Parker I love you. Your job is to be with me forever." He smiled and kissed me again. There was another knock on the door.

"Let's go guys!" He mother yelled from the other side. He pulled away and ran to his closet coming out five minutes later wearing running pants and a long sleeve t-shirt. He grabbed my bag and led me out of the room. As we got outside I realized I should have not packed my jacket. But we quickly got into the giant SUV. His father must have started it awhile ago because it was warm. I still cuddled up close to Parker. After a few minutes his parents got in and we were off.

"Oh son by the way we are picking up Gord. He is staying for a few days while his parents are out of town." His dad said as we backed out of the driveway. We looked at each other.

"Okay sounds good." He said looking nervously at me. I felt really confused but dropped it. A few houses over Gord piled in and we headed for the highway and sat in the SUV for the next seven hours to Vermont.
