For those of you asking about when I update I post a chapter a day. No specific time just whenever I can get to my computer. I'm glad you guys liked last chapter it was my personal favorite so far. This one is really just wrapping up last chapter and leading into the next. Nothing too exciting sorry, but tomorrows is pretty good. :)
Jay woke up first this time. Erin was still in his arms the way she was when they fell asleep. His mind kept flashing back to the night before. It had been perfect, well almost perfect but he was still happy with how it ended up. A few minutes into his thoughts Erin began to stir in his arms. He watched as her eyelids fluttered open.
"Good morning."
"Morning" she sleepily responded almost inaudibly. She stretched and brought her hands to her face to wipe the sleep from her eyes. "Are you going to tell me what we're doing today?"
He smiled, "In a little bit, but right now I don't want to get up."
"Me either."
They stayed in bed in silence for a couple minutes before Erin spoke.
"Something smells really good."
Jay inhaled deeply through his nose "Mom must be making breakfast."
"Aww that's cute. Mrs. Voight used to make a big breakfast every Sunday morning, and Justin and Voight would always argue over the last piece of bacon." She laughed recalling the memory.
"Voight and Justin arguing? No way!" Jay said sarcastically.
"We should probably get up huh?"
"Yeah probably" Jay kissed the top of her head and rolled out of bed.
Erin watched as he stretched and looked through his suitcase for something to throw on, and go down to breakfast in. His body was perfect. She dint want to stare but she couldn't help herself. Watching his toned body got her heart racing.
Jay knew he had an audience. He could feel Erin eyeing him, and he loved every second of it. He threw on a shirt and shorts and went into the bathroom.
When Jay was gone Erin hopped up and threw on some jeans, a tee shirt, and pulled her hair into a bun. When he came out she went in a used the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Jay waited for her and when she was done they headed down stairs together.
Jay's mom and dad had just finished eating when Jay and Erin arrived in the kitchen.
"Morning, how are you two feeling after last night?" His dad asked.
"Pretty good actually." Jay hadn't even had a chance to think about the small hangover headache he had.
Now his mom spoke, "Good, so what time did you guys plan on going back?"
"Well Erin and I are going to go out for a few hours, then come back here to get our suitcases and say good bye before leaving around four probably."
"Ok your father and I have some errands to run, but we'll be back in time so see you off. Go ahead and help your self to breakfast." Then his parents left.
Jay and Erin loaded up on the bacon, eggs, and pancakes his mom had made. When they were finished Jay cleared the table.
"I'm going to go throw some jeans on and you'll probably wanna grab a jacket then we can leave."
"I haven't put on any makeup or anything yet Jay."
"You look great. I promise. Now we're leaving in five."
They were in the car now. "So you got to hear my aunts stories about my childhood. Now I'm going to give you a tour and tell you some stories they don't even know."
"Are you going to show me the spot where the neighbor girl decked you and gave you a black eye?"
"Damn it! They told you that one too? I bet they forgot to mention she was at least a foot taller then me and was pushing 100 pounds to my 60 in the second grade!"
"They said you made your mom drive you to the bus stop the rest of the year." She said laughing.
"Hell yeah I did. I was terrified."
Jay drove her past his high school, and told the story of how he got into a fist fight in the parking lot. He showed her is old favorite hangout places, and the grocery store where he had his first job stocking shelves. He told her about the time he broke his arm while trying to jump bike ramps he and his friends had made in elementary school, and drove past the lake where his dad would take him out fishing. Lastly he pulled into a gravel parking lot and turned off the engine.
The got out of the car and walked over to an old baseball diamond. They leaned against the fence looking at the overgrown field.
"This is the place I really wanted to show you. It was my favorite place in the world."
Erin watched him as he remembered the field he used to love.
"I hit my first out of the park homerun here when I was twelve. Top of the ninth bases loaded. I made all my important decisions here. Before graduation when I was trying to figure out what I was going to do next I came and sat out here one night and that's when I decided to enlist in the army. I came here again after I got back and decided to go to the academy to join the force. This is a great place."
Erin reached down and took his hand. He smiled at her and they headed back to the car in silence just enjoying each other's company.
