Chapter 53- Breakfast, But Not Really

Annie awoke and for a moment panicked at not waking in her own bed. Then Annie remembered the night before. She turned over to face the door. After a minute Jayden walked by and glancing in, noticed she was awake. She smiled at him, and he returned the friendly gesture.

He stood in the doorway. "Good morning." He said and then took a step into the room. "Did you want some breakfast?"

Annie smiled a little. "No," She said and then she added, "Thank you."

"Are you sure?" Jayden asked. She nodded. "Okay." He said and began to turn.

"Jayden?" Annie said, gently. He looked back at her. A tear rolled down her cheek and landed softly on the silk sheets. "Will you hold me?"

Jayden looked taken aback. He stared at her for a moment and then he nodded his head, and slipped off his shoes, and over shirt, leaving him in a tight undershirt tank top. He slid into the covers beside her. For a moment he just lay beside her, but then his arms found there was to her. Slowly, he wrapped his arm around her, and with his other stroked her brown curls. He kissed her hair lightly.

Annie turned over in the sheets to look Jayden in the eye. She leaned into kiss him, and he pulled her back. "No." He said, staring deeply into her magnificent eyes. "I won't take advantage of you…" He said, and he rested his hand on her cheek.

Another tear rolled down Annie's face, and this time landed on Jayden's hand. She smiled and Jayden lovingly kissed her forehead.

They lay holding one another for hours, but to Annie it was only a few fleeting minutes. Suddenly she looked up at Jayden, warmly. "I have to go see Josh." She said, and once more a tear rolled down her cheek. She brushed this one away with her hand.

Jayden nodded, and then hung his head slightly. Annie sat up, and slipped on her shoes, and jacket. She turned to Jayden. "I know the way out."

Annie stood to leave, when Jayden grasped her hand. When she turned back to look at him, he was sitting up in the bed. It was Jayden's turn to brush away a tear. "You're not coming back, are you?" He said. Annie began to sob. He let go of her hand. "You must go…"

She stared at him for a moment, then she looked down at her empty and very white hand. She turned to run from the bedroom and then out the hallway. She ran out the front door and then all the way to her car. She started it quickly and drove away.
