Good evening readers! Hope your all well, I'm fine skipping thank you )! Well this chapter is obviously the aftermath of the all thing at the Motel…
Numbing dreams
Jack's POV:
Ring
Ring.
They broke apart quickly and Jack picked up the phone on his bed side, taking a second to recover his breath before answering.
"Yes?"
"Hello, Mr. Bolton, a taxi is free and waiting downstairs, for you and the ahhh- young lady."
Jack frowned before realising what the secretary was on about.
"Right, we'll be right down. Thank you."
Sharpay went back to the bathroom to collect her clothes and they got dressed in silence.
Once nearly out of the door of the motel, they were stopped briefly by the same secretary who had called them with the message and who had annoyed Jack so much before;
"Hoped you enjoyed your brief stay with us…"
He looked straight at Jack and there was a leering smile behind his words.
Did he know what had happened?
Just as silently as they had got dressed back in the room, so they silently passed the cab ride.
Jack felt numb, purely numb, it was the second time it had happened and yet he felt disbelief.
Sharpay was the first out of the cab;
"Bye then Jack."
"I-"
He had no clue of what to say.
"Bye."
Getting into bed next to his wife, Jack still felt numbness covered over him like bedding.
He lay there unable to sleep, eyes wide awake.
Slowly guilt started creeping in. He couldn't believe he'd allowed it to happen, again!
No matter how he tossed and turned Jack could not sleep that entire night and he felt tense, worse compared to how he had felt the first time, now he felt distinctly as though the nights events would lead to something, something bigger…
Sharpay's POV:
"Shar where the hell have you been?!"
Sharpay cringed at hearing her twin's voice behind her, she had so far managed to get to the door of her room with no one noticing her late return.
She turned to face a pyjama clad Ryan, with a glass of milk in his hand;
"Never you mind, goodnight."
"Whatever, probably Troy related right? Lucky for you dad's at some business thing and mum's a heavy sleeper."
She let herself into her room and smiled wirily into the darkness; Troy related was the word, literally.
Sharpay got into her bed feeling it was useless, as she doubted sleep would be coming to her any time soon. She added a groan as she turned on her side to see her clock registering the small hours of the morning.
Crap; school tomorrow.
Turing back to look at the ceiling she let herself be engrossed once more in the events of the evening and early morning.
She felt shocked that her and Jack had slept together once again and so easily.
Guilt struck, it seemed, harder then the first time, for the time at her parent's party had been random and this tonight, well tonight although she hadn't planned for it to happen, she hadn't done much to avoid it either and deep down if she was honest with herself she had wanted it.
A few days went by, including Wednesday, but Sharpay didn't attempt talking to Jack again.
Sometimes and especially when she was with Troy, she would let her mind wander of about him, a sort of fantasy escape or pleasant dream but always dogged with guilt when she snapped out of it.
Strangely instead of feeling as though she was getting further away from the motel night, she felt as though she was waiting for something to happen, a sort of follow up and yet Jack, like her had not attempted to communicate at all.
Laying on her bed and watching the lazy afternoon sun changing the shadows on her bedroom walls, Sharpay dwelled on those thoughts.
All of a sudden her phone buzzed and slightly dazed she picked it up.
"Hello?"
The number was anonymous.
"Hey, it's Jack. Can you meet me at Casey's?"
Not realising she had been holding in her breath, Sharpay released it. She hardly hesitated;
"Yeah, I'll be there in 10 minutes."
She flipped the phone shut.
This was what she had been waiting for.
Tut tut Jack!
