A Red Eye fanfiction
A/N: Alright…you've all convinced me to do it. I'll make it a fanfic, mkay? So stop begging me to make it a fanfiction because here it is. I present to you, chappie two of I Can't Promise Anything.
Jackson whistled to himself happily as he tossed his belonging into the trunk of his green 1970 Ford Mustang. He opened the door to his car and got in, buckling his seatbelt. He started the car and turned the radio up. As much as he hated to admit it…he had become susceptible to Can't Help to Love James Blunt's Music Syndrome last month when Lisa came home with the CD. He shook his head and smiled to himself. He pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road. Jackson sang "Tears and Rain" quietly to himself as he stopped at a stop sign. Like it mattered though, for there wasn't a car in sight. Jackson sighed and grabbed his ringing cell phone out of his pocket. 'Stupid vibrating ring tone.' "Jackson Rippner."
"Jackson? It's Lisa. Where are you?"
"Oh hey Leese, I just left like five minutes ago. I probably won't be home until dinner. If traffic isn't bad I'll probably be home half an hour earlier then that. Whatchya need?"
"Nothing…I just wanted to talk to you about something."
"Oh no…are you pregnant?"
"Huh? Oh no no no no! Umm I know how much you hate cat and dog hair…but…it was raining and really cold and if I didn't do something the poor little cat would drown in the box. So I fed it and took care of it and got really attached to it and I can't let him go…he was the only company I had since you were gone…and I even gave him a name."
Jackson groaned and let his head hit the back of the seat. "Lisa…you gave it food? Now it isn't going to leave. And you know how hard it his to get all the animal hair off of my clothes and the couches."
"But he's cute…and you'll love him. His name is Spooner…" Lisa said hopefully.
"Spooner? What kind of name is Spooner? Fine but if that cat bites and or scratches me, I'm gonna have a nice comfy new pair of fuzzy slippers. Listen, I have to go, traffic is getting bad now, but I'll call you when it clears up, okay?"
"Really? Oh Jackson! You'll love him I promise! Did you here that Spooner? He's gonna let me keep you." Lisa giggled and said goodbye before Jackson got off of the phone.
"Stupid cat…" he mumbled as he tried to get through the traffic without having a complete road rage explosion.
"Lisa, I'm home!" Jackson said as he closed the door behind him, dragging his bag with him.
"In the kitchen!" Lisa shouted back as she finished setting the table.
Jackson smiled and walked into the kitchen, leaving his bag in the living room. "What's for dinner?" Jackson asked as he walked up behind Lisa and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck softly.
"Pizza…with extra pepperoni just the way you like it…"
"Extra sauce?"
"Of course." Lisa said with a smile and she grabbed two plates from the cupboard and but them on the table with the two Diet Cokes that sat on the table.
"Yay! I love pizza." Jackson said with a smile as he sat down at the table and staring at Lisa. "When will the pizza be done, Leese?" he asked as he heard his stomach growl in hunger.
"In about five minutes. Anyways…how was everything…while you were away…doing business?" Lisa asked as she sat down across from him and folding her hands in her lap.
"Everything went…fine I guess." Jackson mumbled, hoping that the common, everyday, normal talk at the dinner table wouldn't end up turning out to be an argument.
"Oh…so…no more going away anymore?"
"Yeah…no more going away anymore."
"Good." Lisa smiled and got up as the timer started to go off.
After finishing dinner the two decided to head off to bed early. "Wow… I didn't realize how tired I was…" Jackson yawned as he jumped onto their bed and pulling the blanket over his head.
Lisa laughed and did the same, crawling under the blanket and resting her head on Jackson's chest. "I'm glad you're home…" Lisa mumbled.
"I'm glad I'm…holy crap what is walking on my leg!" Jackson threw the blanket off and met the golden eyes of Lisa's cat, Spooner. Lisa giggled and grabbed the small kitten off of Jackson's leg. "I'm gonna kill it Lisa…my feet are cold and I could really go for a nice new pair of slippers right about now."
"Aw…but he likes you, Jackson."
"Doesn't mean I have to like it…" Jackson murmured and he pulled the blanket over his head again and closed his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Don't worry, Spooner…he's just jealous because he's not an adorable, cuddly, soft kitten like you. I won't let him turn you into slippers." Lisa whispered as she set the small calico kitten onto the floor.
A/N: Well…yeah the chapter may be short but at least I'm continuing it. So please be kind in your reviews please.
