I got out of my car and walked slowly through the grass to the spot I was looking for. It was a cold windy day and it was sprinkling rain. Today was a regular day off for me. Not time taken off. I slowly bent down and place the red roses on my brother's grave.

"Hey Jay, sorry, it's been awhile. You know work and everything's been keeping me from coming. In case you didn't know, I'm the new Women's Champion. Brought a picture for you. Life sure is dull without you around. Sometimes when I sit around at night and just watch, I feel you. Trying to console my sorrow's. I just wanted to say thanks. And to let you know that Jeff and I are back together again. I don't know if we'll ever be the same again. I guess that's the price you pay when you get jealous and you love someone so much your afraid to lose them and without your knowing, it just disappears. But Jeff tried his hardest and made the most sincerest apology I've ever received. Besides, he made it pretty hard for me to say no. After all, he only apologized in front of a bunch of strangers at a club." I said looking and feeling the engravings of Jason's tombstone.

"I should really learn to turn this thing off when I'm here," I sighed as I pulled my cell from my purse. "Yea?"

"Hey Marie, it's me Jenn," Jenn replied happily.

"Oh Hey Jenn! What's Up?" I asked.

"oh, nothing much. Yourself?" She replied.

"Just visiting Jay." I said.

"Oooh, I'm sorry. I'll call back later," Jenn offered.

"No, it's okay, give me a second okay?" I asked.

"Sure, no prob." Jenn answered.

"Well, Jay, I guess my visits up. I'll come back next week. Toodles Jay." I said as I got up from the grass. "Okay, speak!"
"Yes all mighty one," Jenn laughed. "Anyways, I was just calling to find out when you were coming back around my way."

"Oh. Um, I think in a few weeks, why?" I asked.

"Gee, you don't even know where your going. Scary. Well, I wanted to know so that way we could hook up and go out to lunch or something. I haven't seen or heard from ya in awhile," Jenn replied.

"Oh yea. We can do that. No problem," I said as I climbed into my car and started the ignition and left the cemetery parking lot.

"Okay good. So how's everything going on between you and Jeff?" Jenn question.

"Pretty good. Of course not the best, but they're awesome," I said.

"That's always good. Well, I better let you go. Don't want you to get in no car accident because you were talking to me on the old cell phone," Jenn joked.

"Okay. Talk to you laters Jenn. See ya," I said as I hung up.

I threw my phone on the passenger seat and turned on my stereo. As a gift last week for no reason, Jeff had made a CD for me that had all my favorite love songs on it. It even included "Truly Madly Deeply", "Lately", "I Swear", "On Bended Knee", "I'll Make Love To You", and other songs. At that time I was listening to "I'll Make Love To You" by Boys II Men. I quietly sang along with the song as I pulled into the drive thru driveway of Carl's Jr. I ordered a Bacon Western Cheeseburger with extra BBQ Sauce and a Raspberry Iced Tea. Soon as I got my order I headed back to my apartment. Carl's was only two minutes away from my place. I parked in my parking lot and headed up to my apartment. I unlocked my door and put my food down on the counter and headed back outside to get my luggage. As I was walking back to my car I seen my neighbor from across the hall, Tania. She offered to help me with my luggage, I thanked her and handed her the lighter things as I grabbed the rest. She put the things in my apartment and left. I left my things in the suitcase and went to the answering machine. I had a couple from old high school and college friends. After I finished listening to my messages, I put my stereo on and popped in the CD Jeff made me. I ate my food as I listened to the CD.

Once I finished up my food I went to my bathroom and ran the water for a bath. I put my peach scented bath bubbles in and let the water run. As soon as the water was at a perfect level I stopped the water and climbed in. I laid against the gel pillow I had in my tub and closed my eyes and listened to the CD. Then I heard a noise that sounded like my door shutting, but I shrugged it off and figured it was the song. I laid back down and closed my eyes and began singing to the song "Sweet Lady" by Tyrese. Soon after I started singing I felt a pair of hands rubbing my neck. I jumped and screamed.

"Calm down Marie, it's just me" Jeff laughed.

"My god Jeff. You scared the crap out of me," I said putting my hand over my heart.

"I'm sorry. Didn't mean to scare you like that," Jeff continued to laughed.

"It's not funny Jeffery Nero Hardy." I said pretending like it hurt my feelings.

"I'm sorry, allow me to make it better," Jeff said as he got up and kissed me.

I wrapped my arms around Jeff's neck and deepen the kiss. Jeff let his tongue go deeper into my mouth and let the kiss grow more intimate. Once I knew I had Jeff I pulled him in the tub with me as pay back.

"Hey! Not cool," Jeff replied seriously.

"I find it quite amusing," I laughed.

"Well, I don't cause my clothes are all wet now," Jeff complained.

"Oh well. No sense in wearing them now, might as well take them off so I can go dry them when we get out," I giggled.

"Fine, I'll go change in your room," Jeff said getting up.

"Awe, your not going to give me a show?" I teased.

"No, your not that lucky you know," Jeff joked.

"Fine, you do that, I'll get out and go put on something so I can dry those clothes of yours," I sighed. "Towels are in the closet over there."

As Jeff left the bathroom I got up and dried myself off and let the water drain out of the tub. I wrapped the towel around my body and went to my room. I didn't care if Jeff was dressed or not cause this was my room and I need to get dressed myself. I went to my dresser and pulled out some clean shorts and a loose t-shirt for me to wear. I put the clothes on and but lotion on my body. I left the room with Jeff's wet clothes and went to my dryer. I threw them in for 30 minutes and went to my TV room. Jeff was already settled on the couch with a blanket and flipping through channels.

"Open up Mr." I said as I walked around the couch and stood in front of Jeff.

"Fine," Jeff said.

He was laying down in his boxers and opened the blanket wide enough for me to crawl in with him. Once I was settled he wrapped the blanket around both of us and wrapped his arm around my body and pulled me closer to him.

"So, tell me, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Came to see you. I got the flight that was a half hour after yours. I was going to jump on the plane to Cameron, but then I figured why do that when I can spend more time with you here in Sacramento?" Jeff explained.

"I like your idea. Should try it once. So, what are we watching?" I questioned as I continued to watch Jeff flip through the channels.

"Nothing, it looks like. Nothing good on. Got any good movie's we can watch?" Jeff asked.

"Yea. I just got The Crow on DVD. Care to watch it?" I replied.

"Yeah. Put it on," Jeff said as he lifted his arm for me to get up and put the movie in.

Jeff and I watched the movie together on the couch. I laid in his arms the entire movie. It felt so good to be between his arms. He kept me warm and I kept him warm. Sometime during the movie I fell asleep in Jeff's arms. Jeff had woken me up to get me to go to my bed but I told him I didn't want to because I was comfortable lying in his arms. So I turned around so we were facing face to face. Jeff kissed me on the forehead and I buried my head in his chest and closed my eyes.

"I love you," Jeff whispered.

"I love you too, Jeff." I whispered back.
