Ch.12 What Took You So Long?
Kris had been sleeping for awhile now. And Junior had to eat breakfast alone, but he didn't mind. Junior knew she wasn't hungry, and he didn't want to push her to eat. She's gone through a lot, she deserves all the sleep she could get, Junior thought. Even if she missed a few workouts with Pablo. Junior told Pablo that Kris wasn't feeling well, so she got a couple days off. Junior had to go and feed and brush the horses like usual. So he left her a note in case she woke up before he got back. Junior grabbed his keys and drove off.
Awhile later, Kris woke up to pounding. She didn't know if it was the pounding in her head or the pounding on the door. She figured it was the pounding on the door because it was much worse. Kris got up got up and walked to the door. She didn't bother changing; she knew she'd be in bed all day anyway. So what's the point? "Hey Matt, what's up?" Kris asked a bit wobbly. "Hey, I wanted to know if you and Junior wanted to go to the club." Matt asked. "Well, I don't feel so good, and you'll have to ask Junior if he wants to go." Kris answered. "Well, I already know Junior's not going because he's going to want to be by your side every second until you get better." Kris smiled. She liked the idea of Junior being by her side. "Well, I'll se you later." Matt said as he walked off. He's probably going to visit Dani, like always, Kris thought. "Bye," she yelled as she shut the door. She walked over to her tiny table and spotted a note. It was from Junior.
Dear Kris,
I went to Davis Farms to feed and brush the horses as usual. I'll be back soon. And I hope you're feeling better. I love you.
Yours forever and always,
Junior
Kris felt relieved to know where Junior was. Kris put the note, ran to the bathroom, and threw up. She wiped her mouth off with a washcloth and rinsed it. Kris hated being sick, especially the throwing up part. She hated that part with a passion. But throwing up made her feel better, it got rid of that nasty feeling inside her stomach. Kris laid down and waited for Junior.
Awhile later, Kris woke up to find Junior still gone. It was already 9:51pm, he should've been back way before then. Just then, Kris heard a car pull up. It was Junior. Finally, Kris thought. She sat up and waited for Junior to come in. He opened the door to find Kris staring at him, which kind of made him feel uncomfortable. "What?" Junior asked. "What took you so long? Did the horses gang up on you?" Kris asked smirking. "Haha, very funny." Junior said walking over to her. "So, what took you so long?" Kris asked, this time, serious. "I got caught up in thought," Junior said. "Don't we all," Kris said smirking again. "I thought you were being serious." Junior said. "I was being serious, I was 'caught up in thought' thinking what was taking you so long." Kris said sarcastically. "You know, you're not being funny." Junior said smiling. "I think I am," Kris said. "Oh yeah," "Yeah," Kris said as Junior playfully kissed her. "You do know you're going to get my germs and get sick." Kris said. "I don't care, then you can take care of me." Junior teased. "Very funny," Kris said as Junior teasingly kissed her again.
