Christina-
Thanksgiving was spent at home. Nothing new, my brothers came down from Arizona for a week. December. Getting my parents to ok me going to Joe's last game was difficult, but I got the green light, as long as I stayed with his family. Cora tagged along too. Sitting between his cousins Jon and Josh.
I was covered up in a thick sweater, blanket covering my legs. Seeing as if I got sick it would be bad. Joe didn't know I was here, I wanted to surprise him. When the game ended Joe's team had won with a field goal. Waiting for him to come out, we spotted him dressed and showered. A pretty girl walked up to him and hugged him tight. He smiled and laughed at something she said.
"Who's that?", Cora asked.
"New girl, just moved here from Colorado I think", Jon said.
This girl would rub Joe's arm. I would be lying if I said I didn't get jealous. I was getting really cold.
"We need to go home", I said to Cora.
"What about Joe? Don't you want to say hi?", she asked.
Josh gripped my shoulders.
"Yo Joe", he yelled over my head.
Joe turned and saw me, his smile grew. Without a word to the girl, he came towards me fast. His arms wrapped around me.
"Baby what are you doing here?", he kissed me.
"I wanted to see you play", I said.
"You just made my night baby girl", he whispered.
Cora looked at the twins.
"So guys, what do you say, give me a ride home?", she asked them.
"We'd love too", Josh said.
She looped her arms with theirs and they walked off. Joe walked me to his car.
"Its too cold for you to be out baby", he said.
Once in the car, he turned the heaters on. He rubbed my hands with his.
"I'm fine Joe", I said.
"Your hands are freezing", he cupped my hands in his and blew into them to warm my hands.
"So that girl was really pretty", I said softly.
"What girl?", he asked, stilling blowing his warm breath into my hands.
"The one you were talking to", I said.
He looked at me, his finger brushed my cheek.
"Not as pretty as you. She just came over to say hi", he said.
"Whats her name?", I asked.
"Jenna", he said.
"Pretty name", I said.
"I like yours better", he said.
"I heard Danny's having a party tonight", I said.
He smirked.
"He is", he said.
"You should go, it'll be nice for you to spend time with your friends", I said.
"No, tonight I'm yours", he said.
"You're with me all the time", I whined.
He laughed.
"Is Danny's party an excuse to get rid of me?", he squinted his eyes at me.
"You figured out my evil plan", I said.
He kissed my cheek.
"Sorry to ruin your evil plan but I'm staying", he said.
I whined. He laughed.
"I love you", he whispered.
"If you go to that party I'll love you even more", I said grinning.
He shook his head with a smile.
"I'll make you a deal, he's having another party in a couple of weeks for his birthday. I'll go to that one, if you let me stay with you tonight", he said.
"Promise", I said.
He nodded.
"You have to say it", I said.
"I promise", he said.
"Ok than", I said.
He leaned over and kissed me.
Joe-
I was getting ready for Danny's birthday party. A soft knock on my door.
"Come in", I said.
The door opened and Chris stood there smiling. Her pale, thin frame, came closer.
"Just wanted to make sure you're keeping your promise", she said.
"I am. Did you walk here alone?", I asked.
"Yes, relax its not far", she said.
She nodded and sat on my bed.
"I want you to have fun, no coming home early", she said.
"Chris, I'm just getting a bad feeling about this", I said.
Something kept telling me not to go. That I should stay with her.
"Babe I'll be ok and so will you. It won't hurt to enjoy yourself", she said.
"Fine ok. Come on I'll take you home", I said.
Getting her home and taking her to her room. I kissed her.
"Would you mind if after the party I stop here?", I asked her.
"I'll leave my window unlocked", she whispered.
"Get some rest, I'll see you soon", I whispered.
"Not too soon", she said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Yes ma'am", I said.
Getting to Danny's party, it was a little crowded.
"Hey", I heard over the music.
I looked to see Jenna smiling at me.
"Having fun?", she asked.
"I'd have more fun if my baby girl was here with me", I said.
"You have a girlfriend?", she asked.
I nodded.
"Should have known a good looking guy like you was spoken for", she smiled.
I chuckled.
"Why isn't she here?", she asked.
"That's personal", I said.
"Well if I had a guy like you I wouldn't let him leave my side", she said.
I sighed, knowing what she was trying to do. I just shrugged my shoulders.
"She doesn't deserve you", she said, moving closer.
I looked down at her.
"You don't know her, so keep your mouth shut", I said, walking away from her.
Going up to Danny's room to call Chris. The feeling of something bad happening got worse.
"Hello", she answered.
"Chris?", I asked.
"Yeah", she sounded like she just got up.
"Baby its me. I just wanted to check up", I said.
"Joe I'm fine. You, how's the party? Any hot girls?", she laughed softly.
Making me laugh. I sighed.
"Can I come home now? I miss you", I said.
"Joe", she said.
"Baby I can't shake this feeling, please", I said.
"One more hour, can you do that?", she asked.
I groaned.
"Fine, one more", I said.
"Thank you", she said.
"Yeah yeah, I love you", I said.
"Yeah yeah, I love you too", she replied.
I chuckled, hanging up with her.
