Lost, Confused, Unkind (Sequel To "Freaked")
Chapter 56
Lunch was probably the most fun I'd had in ages! Dwayne was a natural born flirt anyway so we all had fun winding each other up the entire time! After lunch we all went back to my place, except it wasn't really my place at all it was Gilbert's and that thought had crossed my mind on more than one occasion these past few weeks! Sasha made a coffee while I quickly nipped upstairs to see if Jeff was back with Jude. He was just putting him in his cot as I walked into the room.
"Shhh!" he put his finger to his lips & we crept back out & into Jeff's room. "You have a nice lunch then?" Jeff asked as he kicked off his boots.
"Yeah it was great actually! You should see Betty & Sasha though, drooling over Dwayne! I think they are quite taken with him!" I laughed & then we heard more giggling coming from downstairs & Jeff shook his head & smiled.
"And what about you?" he winked.
"Are you kidding me? I'm not blind!" I sat down next to Jeff & nudged him. "The guy is one hot dude!" Jeff laughed at me, "BUT he's one hot married dude I haven't forgotten that!" I laughed.
"Well he certainly knows how to cheer you up! You look better than you have in months!"
"Ah it's not just Dwayne, it's getting out of the house & Betty & Sasha too! I just feel normal when I'm out having a laugh with my friends!"
"Yeah well you should do it more often, it suits you!"
"What does?"
"That stuff on your face! What is that again?"
I laughed, "You should know! You wear more than I do!" we both laughed & Jeff lay back on the bed. "So, you got a big match for Wrestlemania then?"
"Ah not really, only against Jericho, no titles or anything!"
"Ah well you & Chris always have a great match though! Who's penned to win then?"
"Well I could tell you that but then I'd have to kill you!" he pulled a face at me then his expression changed & he sighed. "We don't talk much these days do we?" He rubbed my back.
"Oh you noticed that too huh?"
"Yeah! I'm sorry!"
"It's not your fault! We just don't have time any more that's all!"
"Yeah well how about we make time then?" he sat up, "Ask Betty to babysit tonight & we'll go out somewhere!"
"Yeah ok! I'll ask her!"
"Great!" he smiled & kissed my cheek before we headed downstairs to the kitchen.
"Hey guys!" Dwayne said & stood up & shook Jeff's hand.
"Dwayne had a fantastic idea!" Sasha beamed.
"Oh and what was that?" I asked as I sat down & Jeff sat beside me.
"Well, you me & Betty are going out tonight!" Sasha giggled, "No buts! He's even offered to stay here & help Jeff look after Jude!"
"Oh erm I don't…."
"That's a great idea!" Jeff said, I looked at him & he shrugged his shoulders. He looked disappointed but tried to cover it with a smile.
"Oh erm ok then…..I guess!"

Later that night I was doing my hair when Jeff came & stood at the bathroom door.
"You look nice!" he said as he folded his arms & leaned against the doorframe.
"Thanks. Listen I'm sorry about tonight!"
"Hey that's ok! We can go out any time! It's no big deal!"
"You're sure you don't mind?"
Jeff laughed, "What am I your keeper now? Of course I don't mind!" he smiled, "Someone once told me to go out & get a life, I think maybe that's what you need to do right now!"
I smiled & nodded my head, "Yeah, thanks!"
"You better get a move on though, the cab will be here in 5!"
"Five? Shit! I haven't even made up Jude's bottles!" I fiddled with my earring & Jeff came to help me.
"It's under control! Just go out & have a good time!" He turned me around & put his hands on my shoulders, "Get drunk!" he laughed. "Oh and er…..you don't have to worry, about getting home early!"
"Jeff!" I laughed.
"What?"
'You sound like my Dad!"
"No, if I was your Dad I'd tell you that there was no way you were going out looking like that young lady & be home by 10pm or I'll call the cops!" he pointed a finger in my face & then laughed.
"Looking like what? Aw man do I look ok?"
"Yes you look fine!" there was the sound of a car horn from outside, "That'll be your carriage Cinders!" Jeff winked.
"Yeah……I guess I should go then!" I picked up my lipstick & did one final touch up in the mirror.
"Have fun! Oh and some of the guys might be at the club, they're all having a blow out before Mania!"
I stopped in the doorway of the bathroom & turned around, "Ok so now I feel guilty!" I threw my lipstick into my purse.
"Don't feel guilty! I see those assholes all week!" Jeff laughed, "Go on! Have fun!"
I went back to him & kissed him on the cheek, "Thankyou!" I smiled & left the room. When I was halfway down the stairs he shouted,
"Hey you're almost the same height as me in those boots!"
I turned back & stuck my tongue out at him & he just laughed & shook his head.
***
When we got to the club the place was packed & it was loud! We headed straight for the bar & man was I looking forward to a drink! I had just paid for my bottle when I found myself being lifted from my feet & I screamed. Betty & Sasha looked concerned, then I turned & saw who it was!
"Loser!" I playfully slapped Adam on the arm & he laughed & hugged me.
"Dwayne said you might have been coming down tonight!" he shouted, "How have you been?"
"OK!" I yelled, trying to make myself heard above the music! Betty nudged me & gave me a sarcastic smile! "Oh Betty this is Adam!" I shouted, he smiled & shook her hand, "And Adam this is Sasha!"
"Nice to meet you!" Sasha yelled.
"So who are you here with?" I got on my tiptoes & shouted into Adam's ear!
"Everyone!" he smiled, "Come on!" He grabbed my hand & started to lead me away from the bar. I turned around to make sure Betty & Sasha were following me & Betty puffed out her cheeks, gesturing her head towards Adam! I rolled my eyes & laughed. I had a feeling Betty's tongue would be hanging out even more when she was introduced to the rest of the guys!
