A week had passed. Micayla had just woken up. All that had been on her mind the past week was John. She went to get in the shower and smiled when she turned on the water.
Flashback
It was the day after Micayla and John had slept together. Micayla opened her eyes. John was holding her. She looked at the alarm clock on the end table. It read eight o'clock.
"John wake up." She said.
"What?"
"I have to go." John opened his eyes.
"No."
"It's eight o'clock." "I have to catch my plane in an hour." "I have to pack." "I-mmm." He kissed her. She kissed him back.
"Take a later flight." He said in-between kisses. He looked at her. "I don't want you to leave yet." "I'll miss you."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." "Plus I like holding you."
"I like it to."
"I have a question."
"What?"
"Last night I noticed you have a belly ring." "With as strict as everything else in your life is I know that can't be allow."
"It's not." "Only two people know I have it."
"Who?"
"You and me."
"You can't tell me Carter has never seen it."
"No he hasn't." "I got it done when I was sixteen." "I was home for the weekend, snuck out of my house and went downtown and got it done."
"How?" "It's against the law to give a piercing to a minor."
"Yeah but when I gave the guy seven-hundred dollars he changed his mind."
"Did it hurt?"
"Like you wouldn't believe." "I have so much jewelry in my bedroom it's pretty easy to hide." "I wear it whenever I go out of town." "At least I get to be a little rebellious."
"I'd say you were very rebellious last night." He said smirking.
"That felt so good." "Just saying the hell with what everyone else wants." "Finally giving into something I want." "Granted it took a little coaxing on your part."
"Not much." "I loved your answer to what you wanted."
"You did?"
"Yeah it turned me on more then I already was."
"I never knew sex could be that fun." "I finally got to try some new things."
"That one in particular I really liked." He said smiling.
"I'm glad."
"That can't be everything you've every wanted to try."
"It's not there's more."
"Have you ever had sex in the shower?"
"No." "Never anywhere but in a bed."
"Well then, let's go explore new horizons." They kissed.
Afterwards Micayla was getting ready to go. She was at the front door.
"Wait." John said. They kissed.
"John I have to go."
"I know but damn it I don't want you to."
"I don't want to either."
"I don't even know I can see you again."
"I don't know either." "I have to go."
"Ok." She kissed him.
"Bye."
"Bye."
End Of Flashback
Later that night Micayla and Carter were getting ready for dinner at the country club.
"Are you almost ready?" Carter asked coming into the room.
"Yes."
"Is that a new dress?"
"I bought it two months ago."
"You look wonderful."
"Thank you."
"We don't want to be late."
When they got there they were greeted by there friends.
"Micayla I'm glad you could make it." Robin said. "Penny, Micayla is here."
"Micayla." Penny said. "I'll bet you're excited about the wedding."
"Yes." Micayla said. "I'm counting the days." "It will be wonderful to finally be married to Carter."
Micayla was sitting at one of the dining table. Everyone around was having the same narrow-minded useless conversations. She began to think of John and the night they'd spent together. The way his hands felt against her skin. How much she wanted that again. How great it felt to make love to him.
"Micayla." Carter said. "Micayla?"
"I'm sorry." "What?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Two days later Carter was leaving on a business trip for two weeks.
"Micayla I'm leaving." He said. She came to the front door.
"Have a good trip."
"I will." "I'll call you when I land."
"Ok." They kissed. "Bye."
"Bye."
A half hour later Micayla went upstairs and packed a suitcase. She was going on a trip to. Except no one knew about it. When she got to the airport she boarded a flight for Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After the plane landed she went to her hotel room. She unlocked the door and went inside.
"Are you here yet?" She asked. John came out of the bedroom.
"Yes I am."
"I wasn't sure if you'd still be at your autograph signing."
"I got back about ten minutes ago." "Come here." They hugged and kissed. "I missed you baby."
"I missed you to."
"Talking on the phone was ok but that just didn't cut it." "I know it's only been a week but it seems like a lot longer to me."
"I know what you mean." "I couldn't wait for today."
"Me either." Micayla smiled. "I love that smile."
"I'm happy for once."
"Good." "Me to." They kissed. "These next two weeks are gonna be great." "You'll like it on the road."
"I'm looking forward to it." "Honey I'm hungry I need some food."
"Let's go to lunch."
"Hmm, could I bring cash or one of my credit cards?"
"You don't need to bring anything." "I'm paying."
"You don't have to do that."
"I want to." He kissed her. "Ok?"
"Ok."
"Let's go." They left.
