Chapter 7

John and I continued to see each other the weeks following. We saw each other pretty much every evening, except Amy and I had to work late a few nights. That was okay. John ended up working a night shift or two. But as luck would have it John happened to get four straight days off. Those days off also happened to fall on Labor Day weekend. I had Labor Day (Monday) off. John's days off were Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

We had only been going out for three weeks, but we would be able to spend a whole weekend together. I had to work on Friday, but that was okay. I had Friday evening, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and then all day Monday to spend with my boyfriend. This was also when our relationship was going to take the next step: sex.

"I can't believe you and John are finally going to do it," Amy said.

"I know," I said. "I get to spend the whole weekend with him."

What was also awesome was Torrie and Randy had the weekend off. Those two were going to Cape Cod. I was staying the whole weekend at John's apartment. I was actually packing. Our boss had let us leave early today. He had plans for the weekend. It was only 5 o'clock. Amy and I had left the office at 4:30.

"Tonight, tonight?" Amy asked.

"Yes, it's going on tonight and then tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday."

"Naughty girl."

"Yes, I am."

Amy laughed. "I have to ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Would it be okay if I gave Phil a key to the apartment?"

"Yeah, sure," I replied. "Can I give my boyfriend one?"

"Yeah, it is just easier for them to have keys so we do not always have to answer the door. We will just have them announce themselves before walking farther into the apartment, though. Maybe we should give one to Torrie too."

Amy and I both looked at each other. "Nah!" We both said. Torrie would be all up in our business if she had a key to our apartment.

As soon as I was done packing, I headed off to John's. He was already home, because he had the day off. We had plans at seven o'clock, though. We were meeting his dad, brothers, and his brothers' girlfriends at Cenas' for dinner.

John and I were also driving to West Newbury with a few of his brothers the next day. I was going to meet John's mom finally. We had days off finally that were together, so we both could go and meet his mom. I was nervous for that one.

"Hey Beautiful," John said when he answered the door.

"Hi," I replied. I gave him a hug and a kiss.

"Moving in?" He joked, noticing my Large Vera Bradley Duffle.

I grinned. "Just for the weekend."

"That's good enough for me." He gave me another kiss. He took the duffle from me. "Make yourself comfortable."

John too my bag to his room and I settled down on the sofa in the living room. ESPN was on. He came back out a minute later and sat down next to me. He took the remote and muted the TV.

"How was work today?" He asked.

"It was great. Amy and I were out of the office at 4:30. Our boss has plans for this weekend too," I said.

"Awesome."

"How was your day off?"

"Great! I talked to my mom. She's super excited for tomorrow. She can't wait to meet you."

"I always get nervous when I meet my boyfriend's mother for the first time," I said.

"It'll be okay. She'll go easy on you. You have a career and making it out on your own. Those are two important factors my mom wants in all her sons' girlfriends. She hates it when any of us our dating spoiled rotten princesses."

"I'm a spoiled rotten princess, but my daddy isn't paying the rent for my apartment or any of my other bills. He and my mom spoil me and my sisters on our birthdays and holidays. If I were having trouble making rent or something a long those lines then my parents help me."

"I know. But there are some girls and women out in the world that live off their daddy until they get married. You are not doing that."

"Thank you," I said.

"How was work for you today?"

"Uneventful. Come next week, though, I am sure there will be some new clients for my boss. Its Labor Day weekend and there bound to me lots of accidents with boats, jet skis and such."

"That's good. It means more work for you."

"Very true."

John and I sat on the sofa watching TV and talking until 6:15. Then we both got ready to go out. I straightened my hair and put a little bit of make up on. I also changed clothes. John just changed clothes. At 6:30, we headed out. We arrived at Cena's at about 6:55.

John Sr., Steve, Steve's fiancée, Chelsea, Boog, and Boog's girlfriend, Brianna were all already there and seated. We greeted them with hugs and sat down. Dan with his girlfriend and Matt with his girlfriend arrived. We gave them hugs and once every one was seated and settled, our waiter for the evening came over and took our drink order.

Dinner was a lot of fun. I got a long great with all of John's brothers. I also got a long great with their significant others. John and I were going to West Newbury with Dan, his girlfriend, Allison (Ally), Matt, and his girlfriend, Kourtney.

"I want to know how the hell you three all managed to get the same weekend off," Ally said.

"Me too," Kourtney said. "Of course, it is nice to be able to spend an actual weekend with my boyfriend."

"Amen to that, Kourtney," I said. "Of course, I am meeting Carol for the first time tomorrow."

"You'll be fine," Chelsea said.

"Really," Steve said. "My mom has only ever been real hard on my girlfriends and Boog's."

"That is such bull," Matt said. "When Mom first met Kourt she was hard on her."

"Trish, ignore my sons," John Sr. said. "You'll be fine meeting Carol tomorrow. She'll love you. We all do."

"Thank you," I said.

John and I were back at his apartment by nine o'clock. We ended up sitting in the living room and watching Dirty Dancing. That was our movie. Yes, we had a movie that we called our own.

"So when are we going to learn ballroom dancing?" I asked.

"We can go whenever you want. You set it up," John said.

"I'll call around next week."

"I look forward to that."

"Do you really?"

"Yeah, because it will be something that me and my girlfriend will be doing together."

"You know it has been three weeks since we declared ourselves as boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked.

"Yes, I did know that," John said. "Happy Three Week Anniversary."

I grinned. "Happy Three Week Anniversary." I leaned forward and kissed him. The kiss was light and sweet, but then things heated up just as they had exactly three weeks ago.

I was lying on my back on the sofa with John on top of me. My hands slipped underneath his shirt and over his muscular back. John pulled away from me and sat up. He pulled his shirt off. He grabbed hold of mine. I sat up and lifted my arms as he took my shirt off. His lips were then back on mine.

We eventually moved things into the bedroom. That was where things got heated up even more. The rest of the clothes came off. Then John and I were making love. Yes, we were not just having sex, we were making love. Making love was something between two people who were in love. Yes, after only three weeks I was in love.


I would have had this chapter up two days ago, except I got sick with a cold. I also would have added more detail to this chapter with them making love. But I am still feeling my cold and my mind is fuzzy and can not focus to add a little more detail. Next time.
