Lost, Confused, Unkind (Sequel to "Freaked")
Chapter 16
I flopped onto the bed completely warn out! "Man I'm beat!"
Matt lay beside me, "Me too hun!" I wriggled over and put my head on his chest. "So do you think it went ok tonight then?"
"Yeah! The crowd loved it! Man those girls can scream for at your brother!"
Matt laughed, "Yeah I always said he missed his calling in life, he should've been the sixth member of NSYNC!"
I giggled, "Awww come on, somehow I can't see Jeff doin' those dance routines!" We both laughed. "Ok where's my case I'm getting ready for bed!" I yawned & crawled off the edge of the bed.
"It's over by the door, drag mine here too will ya?"
"Ok lazy arse!" I joked.
I got the cases & almost didn't have the energy to haul mine up onto the bed! Matt went into the bathroom, still talking about the show.
"Yeah I guess the crowd liked it! But, I dunno Bec there seemed like there was something missing but I can't figure out what!?"
"I'm sure you'll work it out!" I said, not really paying all that much attention, I was too tired!!
"Yeah I guess!" he started to brush his teeth, "Maybe its lodrs!"
"Maybe it's what?""
Matt spat into the sink. "Ladders! Maybe we need a ladder match!"
I opened my case, "Yeah sure! Ladders! Great! That's just what I need to see! You getting thrown off the top of a……" I reached into my case & stared at what was there, right on top of all the clothes.
"What?" Matt shouted.
I picked them up & held them up infront of my disbelieving eyes! Then I threw them onto the bed. "Hun? What were you saying?" Matt said as he walked out of the bathroom & I just stood looking at him. "You were saying something? I didn't hear you I had the water running!"
"Pajamas!" I pointed to the bed where I'd put them down & he looked.
"Oh cool! You found them!"
"Matt….they were right there on top of my clothes!!"
"Told you they'd turn up didn't I?" He smiled & I just stared at him! "What's wrong?"
"Well I had everything out of this damn case last night & I couldn't find them!"
"Honey you were so stressed out last night you probably just missed them that's all!"
"But…" I thought about protesting some more but then figured it wasn't worth it! Whatever I said Matt would find a logical explanation for when he was in one of these moods! Damn it did freak me out though! I threw them onto the floor & grabbed one of Matt's shirts to sleep in instead!
Next morning we had to be up at 5am to catch a 6:30am flight to Boston! I was still worried about the pajama fiasco but trying not to let it show to Matt! He already thought I was losing my mind & I didn't want to give him any more cause for concern! At the airport I left him checking in while I went to get us a coffee from the machine.
"Morning!" Jeff said as he came up behind me yawning & I jumped. "Shit! Sorry Bec!"
"Jesus Jeff don't sneak up on me like that!"
"You called the cop yet?"
"I haven't had time! I'll do it when we get to Boston! I was kind of hoping if it is Steve, he surely wouldn't follow us on a plane!"
Jeff raised his eyebrows, "Yeah probably not but still check it out though yeah?"
"Yeah you're right! I'll call her!"
We got our coffees & slowly started to walk back to find matt. As we walked I told Jeff all about the Pajamas!
"How in the hell would he be able to get into your case?"
"HA! If I knew that then I'd be doing Smithurst's job!"
"So did you tell Matt?"
I shook my head, "He's well…you know how Matt gets when he's working!"
"Yeah I do, insensitive!"
"That's a bit harsh Jeff! I just don't want to bother him! He's been through enough shit with me already!"
"Well I think you should say something to him Bec, it's not like he's gonna….."
I interrupted him when I grabbed his arm & turned him around, "Over there! Quick!" He looked in the direction I was pointing.
"I don't see any…"
"THERE! Jeff it's Steve! Shit! Look!!"
I knew no more than Jeff's hot coffee splashing up my legs, he'd thrown the two cups he had in his hands & was running at break neck speed towards the guy I'd pointed out! I felt like my feet were stuck in syrup on the floor! My legs moved in slow motion while my eyes darted from Jeff to Steve, Steve to Jeff! He reached out & grabbed him, twirling him around, only it wasn't Steve at all! I saw Jeff making his apologies to this poor bewildered guy as Adam came over to me looking just as confused!
"What's goin on with Jeff?"
"Oh erm…he just thought he saw someone he knew that's all!"
Adam looked at the floor, "Oh right…I guess I better get my own coffee then!" He smiled before heading off to the coffee machine.
Jeff puffed his cheeks out & rolled his eyes as he came back to me.
"I'm so sorry Jeff!"
"Hey it's ok! Damn sure looked like the bastard to me aswell!"
"Now I'm getting you as freakin paranoid as me! God this is just such a fucking mess!!" I sighed.
Jeff reached out & rubbed my arm, he was about to say something when an angry guy with a bucket on wheels & a mop began clearing up the coffee around our feet!
