But anyways those of you that review and read please tell your friends read and review because I really love the feedback positive and negative (more positive than negative) but anyways heres the next chapter enjoy.
It was Sunday morning and Portman , despite Fulton's advice had successfully avoided Joey for the entire weekend, he was on his way home from a conveinant Joey-less fast food breakfast when he caught glimpse of the very girl he was dying not to see. Joey was on her morning walk, which had turned into more of a run after the news she received from her parents this morning. Portman decided to have a little fun and began honking the horn and rolled down his window so as to make his catcalls more audible.
"WOO HOO LOOK AT THAT, WASN'T EXPECTIN A SHAKE WITH MY BREAKFAST BUT I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET"
One thing that you must learn of Joey London is 1. don't mess with her in the morning, 2. don't mess with her when shes mad, and 3. DO not and I repeat do not mess with her when shes pissed in the morning! Joey whipped around and before even looking at who it was yelled back.
"look buddy I don't know what your problem is but today is not the day to mess with me"
she lifted her eyes and met Portman hanging out of his truck window.
"ya know for someone who has been avoiding me for almost 3 days you sure do go full force when you jump back in"
"yea well I'm one of a kind what can I say" Portman replied.
"yea whatever, I'll see ya around" Joey said as she once again began sprinting down the street.
Portman , dumbstruck, followed her and hollered out the window, "come on Joe let me take you out to breakfast we need to talk, and you look like you could use someone to talk to"
"Portman you already ate"
"how did you know?" Portman questioned
Joey stopped ,leaned into his window, and placed her lips next to his ear, "because you reek of deep fried hash browns"
Portman returned the whisper "yea but I can always eat again"
Joey couldn't help but laugh "ok , ok I'll go"
Joey climbed in Portman's truck and off they went.
…………………At Breakfast……………….
Portman and Joey were seated comfortably in a two person booth in the back of a quiet diner , as Joey took a sip of her tea , she had a thought.
"has it ever occurred to you that our last couple of conversations have revolved around food?"
"yea your right maybe we should never talk again I would hate for you to get fat or something"
Joey laughed sarcastically , "yea same here, so what did you want to talk to me about" she pondered
"just about us , and what happened or didn't happen last time we were together" Port began.
"Port don't worry about it I understand maybe you and I were just meant to be friends, instead" Joey replied coyly.
"no let me finish"
Joey nodded in agreement
"ok as I was saying, the reason that I didn't jump right in with you and me is because to be quite honest you terrify me, I am so scared that we would date and I would break your heart or you would break mine and we couldn't be friends anymore and that would damn near kill me, but wow the thought of maybe getting to wake up next to you one morning would be amazing"
"wow don't get ahead of yourself there slugger"
"you know what I mean , I just am really into you and I think that the possibility of being with you forever is greater than the risk of losing you forever."
"well , deffinately wasn't expecting that, but I know how you feel. And I think I feel the same but make me a promise, we'll take it slow" Joey questioned hopefully.
"of course, now that that's settled and I got me a new woman , whats on your mind"
"oh lord a new woman , well whats on my mind, my parents are going to Fiji for the thanksgiving holiday and my mom sent me two tickets to Texas so I can get the rest of my stuff and my vroom vroom"
"vroom vroom now that's sexy" Portman laughed , "now whats the problem?"
"not a problem really more of a favor, I was just wondering if you would go with me"
"are you kidding that would be awesome, a whole mansion to ourselves amazing"
"yea don't get your hopes up sweetie" Joey replied matter-of-factly.
"I know I was just teasing , but yes I would be honored to accompany you to the deep south"
