Authors Note- The morning after scence, again. Take a read... I am considering posting another chapter tonight, but I may not because the next couple chapters are pretty intense, so I might leave you hanging. LOL! Please review and I'll try to post another chapter tonight!
If you asked me 2 months ago if I thought John Carter would be the type of guy to plan out a big romantic night, I probably would have laughed. It was hands down the best night of my life, other then the night my son was born, but I'm taking about with men. We didn't sleep together, and I'm glad that we didn't because I know that once we do everything in our relationship will change, not that that's a bad thing, I just like things the way they are right now. When he comes over it's so relaxed, although I know we will have to sleep together soon because the sexual tension is getting to be too much. I'm glad it was just John and me last night though, I love my son but sometimes adults just need their time.
I roll over and look at the man softly snoring beside me, he looks so peaceful I don't want to wake him. I am getting the sudden craving for coffee, I start to get up, when I feel a strong force pull me back in bed. I fall and land on top of John. "Where do you think your going?" He asks sleepily.
"Coffee." I say resting my head on his bare chest.
"Mm that sounds good." He starts to play with my hair.
"Yeah," I sigh. I don't want coffee now I just want to stay in bed with him. I look at the alarm clock, eleven o'clock, oh god.
"We slept in." I yawn. He doesn't reply, he fell back to sleep. I rub his chest, knowing that we will have to get up soon. "I have an appointment with my lawyer later today."
"What time?"
"Two."
"Okay, you want me to come?"
"No...I think I'm okay, but if we go to court-"
"I'll be there."
"Thanks"
"Anything for you." I laugh quietly at this, he's so sweet.
"Where's Bryce going after school?" Carter asks, opening his eyes.
"He's coming here, I should be home by 3:30, at least I hope so."
"Okay- if you need me to come over, just call me."
* * * * *
"So when do we go?"
"A week Tuesday."
"Okay... And what are our chances?"
"We will just have to wait and see." My lawyer tells me. Its 5:30, this meeting went a hell of a lot longer then expected. I leave the restaurant in a hurry to get home to my son, Carter ended up going over to stay with Bryce, which was very nice of him. it brings me some comfort to know that Bryce isn't alone. I hate leaving him alone. My phone is ringing, I look at the number, its work. I can't go in, not tonight. "Hello?"
"Hey mom."
"Bryce?"
"Yeah, hi. I'm at the hospital with Carter, he got called in, and there was an incident around our building today with people breaking in to the guy down the hall from us, so Carter said it be best if I went to work with him when he got called in."
"Oh, okay, tell him thanks I'm coming right now, I'm about five minutes away." I didn't know where I was going to sleep now, I don't want to take my son back to the apartment if its dangerous. I guess I better see how bad the break in really was before I get myself into a frenzy. I walked through the ER doors, seeing Bryce and Alex talking with Luka, I rushed over to him, I know that the break in wasn't in our apartment but I still worry. "Hey." I kiss him on the forehead.
"Hey mom."
"How are you?" I rub his back.
"I'm okay, there are members of a gang living in our apartment."
"What?" I can't believe this.
"Yeah, I don't know anymore though, Carter wouldn't tell me."
"That's probably for the better." Luka added. I smiled in agreement.
"I'm going to go find Carter." I say leaving them, I really hope this gang thing blows over quickly. It was probably only one break in, I know my apartment is not in the safest part of Chicago, but its the only place I can afford right now. "Abby." Carter says smiling walking out of Exam 1.
"Hey. Thanks so much." I say smiling.
"Hey no problem, so I guess Bryce told you?" He cringes a bit.
"Yeah he did."
"Well," He starts to walk towards the lounge. "There is some sort of mob gang in your apartment building."
"Since when?"
"I don't know. The police wouldn't tell much." He says sighing.
"This is not going to help my case." I push my hair out of my face.
"How'd that go?"
"We go to court next Tuesday."
"Okay, well come and stay with me." What? We've been dating for two weeks and we're already living together. "No sorry." I say scooting ahead of him into the lounge.
"Why not?"
"Carter that would look worse, me moving in with a guy I've been dating for only two weeks."
"Okay, well, when you work nights, or can not be home till late Bryce can come stay at my place." He offers up. Now this is an offer I could go for. It is a lot safer then my building and I know he will get watched, "What about when we both work late, or nights though?"
"Then I'll have maids watch him." He walks towards his locker opening it up, hanging his stethoscope awaiting my answer. I scan his locker door, seeing a few pictures. One is of him and his brother Bobby, he doesn't talk about Bobby much. The next of his Gamma, who he also does not talk about much, he has brought her up here and there. The last of Bryce, a big smile on his face. It was the night we went out for Pizza. It makes me smile. "Okay." He turns around smiling.
"Good, because I would hate for anything to happen to him." He puts his coat on, walking over and hugging me. "Hey, you two I'm hungry!" Bryce says poking his head into the lounge. "Okay lets go!" Carter says grabbing my hand and leading me out of the lounge. "You know I was afraid of what I might see when I opened the door." Bryce says.
"You never stop do you?" Carter cracks.
"Not when I'm on a roll."
"That's a roll that's going to come to an end very shortly." I say wrapping my arm around his shoulders.
