Chapter 9
ADAM'S P.O.V
Wednesday could not come quick enough for me. I had talked to Connie a few times since my return, but hadn't let on that I was coming back on Wednesday with Charlie, Julie, Guy and Emma. Luckily I only had 4 days to wait until I went back, but those 4 days were long and full of trepidation. I couldn't wait to get Connie back in my arms, and I had done a lot of thinking since I had come back. I had more or less decided that in the off season, that I would either stay with Connie or with my brother, because then at least I could see Connie on a regular basis.
Eventually, Wednesday came and I began packing, deciding against the bag I had used previously as it wasn't big enough for the amount of clothes I was taking. We were still undecided of how long we were staying but we knew it would be for just over a week at least. Just after lunch, Charlie and Julie turned up, armed with 3 suitcases between them, I helped Charlie by taking one of the two he was carrying and putting it down beside my own that was sat just by the door. Julie was beaming and was almost bounding around my living room with excitement, I so wanted to join her but, I didn't let on.
"So what did your parents say when you told them you were going back to New York"? Charlie asked as he sat beside me on the sofa.
"They were a little disappointed at first, my mom more so, but they seemed ok with it once I had promised I would be a frequent visitor, even though I already am. I think my mom's still struggling with the fact that her 'baby boy' has actually left home and is now a grown man". I chuckled remembering my moms face when I first told her that I was moving into my own apartment.
"Hey if it's any consolation my mom was just the same". He answered.
"The thing is, I can't ever remember my mom being like that with Alex and he lives more than 1 hours drive away".
"It's because you're the youngest, and she feels like she's no longer needed as a mom. Why'd you think my mom and Coach Bombay are foster parents now". Charlie laughed gently.
Just as we finished the conversation, Guy and Emma stumbled in with twice as much luggage as Charlie and Julie. I laughed to myself, if it had just been me, Charlie and Guy going, there'd have been just the three suitcases and they'd have all had plenty of room in them.
"What's with all the suitcases man"? Charlie asked as we got up to hep Guy.
"Ask her". Guy sent a loving death glare at Emma who was talking nonsense with Julie.
"I gotta tell ya Guy, my brothers house isn't a mansion". I laughed.
"You try telling her that. When I told her, she just said 'Well I have to give Connie a good impression', women, you can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em". Guy mimicked Emma and found a cushion smack him in the face.
I could sense a lovers tiff beginning and I think Charlie and Julie must have read my mind as we all began trying to shoo everyone out of my apartment and down to the street where we were to flag a taxi down. Once at the airport we walked through check-in and every security check and then waited in the lounge for our flight.
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I had just handed the kids over to John for the night and began getting ready for work. It had been 4 days since Adam had left and I was on a big downer, I mean wouldn't anyone who'd just had the best 3 days of their lives with a gorgeous guy and then suddenly he has to leave. It was my first day back at the bar since Saturday night and I definitely wasn't up to Tina going on about how I shouldn't rely on a man to make me happy. Ugh life stinks, I thought as I left my apartment and headed down the lonely back streets of New York. I was greeted by Sid who was already sat at the doors, I had kicked myself on the way into cheerful mode and once in the liveliness of the bar, I seemed to forget about the pathetic ness I called a life.
I'd had nothing but grief from Kelly since Sunday morning when Pete had brought them home to find Adam had left. Her constant whining about when was he coming back had driven me insane. She was never normally like this, but I suppose if I hadn't been in my own downer, I wouldn't have realised so much.
"Hey guy's". I greeted my fellow colleagues as I put my bag and coat on the hanger behind the bar.
I immediately started serving the customers, not awaiting a response. The bar was fortunately pretty empty at the moment but I knew it would liven up within the hour, as it always did. I don't know what made me remember, but once I had a spare few minutes, I rushed into the back where Ruth normally did her paper work until the bar became busy. I knocked gently on the wooden door and waited for Ruth to reply.
"Yeah". She shouted signalling me to come in.
"Hi, erm is this a bad time"? I asked.
"No, no come on in". Ruth looked up from her work. "What's up"?
"Well, I was just wondering if, I could have the week off in spring break, I'm trying to plan to go back to Minnesota for the week". I explained.
"Yeah sure". She answered as simple as that. "So, are you going back to Minnesota to see a certain gorgeous guy"? This was her signal for me to sit down and have a quick chat with her.
"Yeah, but there's other friends I also want to see. I have a lot of making up to do so I kind of need all week".
"Why do you need to make up with them"? She asked with a genuine interest.
""It's a long story, but basically, when we left high school we promised each other to stay in touch and I forgot that promise and 2 of them have been trying to find me for 3 years". I quickly told her.
"I see".
"CONNIE". I heard Tina yell for me, I guessed it was getting a little busy and quickly said my thanks to Ruth and left her to finish her paper work.
ADAM'S P.O.V
After the plane landed, and we had collected our baggage, we flagged a taxi down which took us to my brothers. Luckily my brother had 2 spare rooms and didn't mind that we were all coming. Unfortunately though, I was supposed to be on the couch, but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to sleep on it at all. The taxi ride wasn't a long one and once we had pulled every single suitcase out from the back onto the side walk, the taxi drove off leaving us stood surrounded by 8 suitcases. Fortunately, my brother had heard all the commotion and had come out just in time to help us carry all the cases inside.
"Hey". I hugged Alex once I had ridden myself of the cases. "Thanks for having me back". I expressed my gratitude to him.
"Anytime Bro, to be honest I didn't think it would be long until you came back". I quickly helped Guy, Charlie, Julie and Emma upstairs with their bags to settle in before heading back downstairs to collect my toiletries and headed for a shower, only stopping momentarily to tell the others to start getting ready if they wanted to go and see Connie. Within an hour and a half, we were all ready to go, and set off walking into the heart of New York.
Well what did you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
