Flowersc781- Well I hope you get off those pins and needles and enjoy this chappie.
I was gathering the last of my things at the door getting ready to leave for the airport to fly to Chicago for OC's midsummer camp. I looked over everything one more time to be sure I had everything.
"Chev, you okay? That is the fifth time you have checked your bags in the last 45 seconds." Dad asked.
"I'm fine just….I'm fine." I said.
"You've been acting weird this whole week. Are you sure you're up for this trip?" Dad asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I've just had a lot on my mind." I said.
"Do you want me to take you to the airport?" Dad asked.
"No, I'll just catch a cab." I said.
"Are you sure about this trip? I mean…you know I like OC, but he is Mike's best friend. I just don't want you and OC growing too close and something happening before you realize it." Dad said.
"I will be fine. This is just a business trip." I said.
Dad looked at me. "Okay, if you need anything give me a call."
"I will." I hugged him. "Love you daddy."
"Love you too." he kissed my forehead. "Call your old dad when you land in Chicago."
"Old?" I giggled.
"Go on before you miss your plane." Dad laughed.
I picked up my bags and walked out of the apartment and headed for the elevator. I stepped in the elevator and leaned against the wall. I needed this trip. I was hoping that it would help me get my mind off of Mike. I hadn't been able to stop thinking about him in days.
"Tell me…did you fall in love with me or 'the hockey player' I was?" Mike asked.
I shook my head and walked off the elevator. I walked through the lobby and nodded at the doorman as I stepped outside. I stood at the curb and hailed a cab to take me to the airport.
I climbed in the cab and leaned back against the seat as we rode through town.
"Tell me…did you fall in love with me or 'the hockey player' I was?" Mike asked.
I opened my eyes and sighed. I checked my purse one last time making sure I had my boarding pass. Seeing it was there, I closed my purse and watched the building pass by outside.
It wasn't far to the airport, so it didn't take long to get there. I paid the driver and stepped out of the cab and into the airport. I walked through the airport looking for my gate. I was due in Chicago that evening, OC had got me reservations at the same hotel he was staying at.
I saw my gate up ahead. I looked at my watch and realized that I had time, so I sat down to relax before checking in. I set my bags down at my feet and leaned back in the chair.
"Tell me…did you fall in love with me or 'the hockey player' I was?" Mike asked.
I stood up. I grabbed my bags and went to the ticket counter.
(Boston)
Rizzo was sitting in his living room drinking a beer. There was a hard thunderstorm going full strength outside. Rain was coming down so hard that there were flood warnings in some areas.
Mike's phone rang. He groaned and answered it. "Hello?"
"Rizzo, what are you doing?" Silk asked on the other end of the phone.
"Sitting in my townhouse. Drinking a beer." Mike said.
"Let me guess, you're sitting there in sweats and a T-shirt drinking a beer and moping." Silk said.
"Silky what do you want?" Mike asked.
"Get dressed, we're going out tonight. I thought we could hit a bar and find a few girls. I need laid." Silk said.
"Silky…there is a huge storm going on outside. It's raining so hard I can't see the road from my front porch." Rizzo said.
"So, we can still go out." Silk said.
"I am not going out in this mess." Mike said.
"Come on, get out and live a little." Silk said.
"Silk, I don't feel like getting struck by lightning." Mike rolled his eyes.
"Well what are you gonna do tonight if you don't come out with me?" Silk asked.
"Stay in, relax. Might shave." Mike ran a hand over his three days worth of growth on his chin. "Probably get to bed early."
"That is so boring. And I need laid." Silk whined.
"You don't need me to do that." Mike said.
"It helps to have a partner when picking up girls. That way you can take the ugly friend. Hott girls always have an ugly friend and they won't put out if their ugly friend gets left behind." Silk said.
"Silk, do you really think that a lot of girls are gonna be out in this storm?" Mike asked.
"You never know. Besides, you just can't sit there all night." Silk said.
"Maybe when the storm clears I'll watch a late movie on TV." Mike said.
"Rizzo, come on, go out." Silk whined.
"No thanks. Have fun. Goodnight." Mike hung up.
He leaned back against the couch and took another drink of his beer. There was a knock at his door. He looked up at the clock, it was 10 at night. Who would visit him at 10PM in the middle of a storm. There was a second knock. Mike got off the couch and went to the door.
He opened the door. Chevon was standing on the porch. She was soaking wet and shivering from the cold. At her feet was two soaking wet bags. Mike looked up at her, surprised and confused. She looked as if she had been crying, but she was so wet from the storm that it was hard to tell.
"You." she said. Her voice shaking from emotion or the cold he couldn't tell. "I fell in love with you."
