Busted
A/N- Wow! Thanks again for all the reviews... I am glad that you guys are loving the story and where it is headed!
Kris woke to the sound of a cell phone ringing and she gently rolled away from Junior and out of his arms, reaching to pick it up.
"Hello," she whispered.
"Hey," Dani replied "where are you?"
Kris could feel a groan escape her lips, she really hadn't gotten that much sleep and she had lost track of time.
"I'm sorry," she stated not answering Dani's question "I will be right over to pick up Jason."
"Kris," she replied, "that is not why I am calling. We were just worried about you. You never came back last night."
"Yeah," she replied "sorry about that."
"It's fine really Kris, he has been a pleasure. You know how Matt is though."
Kris could hear a small laugh escape her lips.
"Yeah," she whispered looking back to make sure that Junior was still asleep "I know how he is."
"Wait a minute," Dani continued almost in a whisper "why are you whispering."
It took Dani only a minute before she stated "OH, never mind. Come pick him up whenever your ready." and then she heard the dial tone.
Laughing slightly she rolled back into bed closing her eyes tightly. She hadn't felt this tired in such a long long time.
"Who was that?" she heard Junior ask groggily.
"Your sister, wondering where I was, but she figured it out."
She heard him laugh slightly as he rolled towards her and pulled her into him.
"Busted," he muttered and she couldn't help but let out a little giggle.
"Yup," she stated "she said I could pick up Jason anytime I was ready."
"Good," he stated "then lets go back to sleep."
"Sounds great," she stated closing her eyes.
--
"Dani?" Matt asked looking at her as she quickly hung up the phone.
"Is everything OK?"
"UH, yeah everything is fine Matt."
He looked at her for a moment before responding "then why do you have that funny look on your face?"
She looked at him for a moment before she busted out laughing.
"Ok," he asked "What's so funny?"
"Nothing," she stated through bursts of giggles "Kris will be over later to pick up Jason."
"That's fine," he stated "but how come she never came back to Raintree last night?"
He watched as Dani grabbed her stomach and continued to laugh.
"I think," he stated "I am missing something."
Through her laughter she replied "you have no idea."
"OK..." he said hesitantly as he looked at her, causing her to laugh even more.
"I think I am going to go see if Junior wants to hang out, I am dying to hear how his and Kris' date went."
Dani was laughing so hard at this point that tears began to seep out of her eyes.
"Ok, spill. What in the world is so funny?"
"Nothing," she replied in a sing song voice.
As she slowly left the room she turned back and stated "And let Junior sleep awhile, he has had a very long week."
--
She had been staring at the back of her eyelids for awhile now, and she wondered if sleep was ever going to come to her.
"Junior," she whispered "are you asleep."
When she didn't get a response she slowly turned over and looked at him.
"Junior?"
Still no response.
Reaching over she gently brushed the tuff of his hair off of his forehead before placing a peck on his exposed forehead.
She laid that way for awhile watching him sleep, memorizing each breath he took in and out. It had been a long time since she had watched him sleep and before long her breathing fell in sync with his and she fell back asleep.
"What are you doing?" he asked teasingly.
"Watching you sleep," she replied gently.
"Why?"
"Because I like to, it's calming" she whispered in response.
He looked at her smiling for a moment before teasing her "that's kinda creepy."
She gently reached over and slapped him teasingly on the arm "Junior," she giggled.
"I'm just teasing" he replied. "Sometimes I watch you sleep too."
"Now that IS creepy," she stated teasingly.
"Hey," he stated as she giggled and gently leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"You can watch me sleep anytime," he whispered raising his eyebrows up and down.
She grabbed her stomach in a fit of laughter which he only increased by reaching over and tickling her.
"Not fair," she squealed "I'm a girl."
"So," he replied "that doesn't mean you should get special treatment."
"Uh HUH!" she answered as she continued to giggle.
"We will just see about that." he whispered.
--
"Hey," Matt called to Jean upstairs "can you watch Jason for just a little while?"
"Sure" she responded "I will be down in just a minute."
He stood impatiently at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her to come down.
"I'm here, I'm here." she stated looking at the impatient look on his face.
"And where are you off to?" she asked noticing that his shoes were on and he was heading for the door.
"I can't stand it," he muttered "I have to know how Kris and Junior's date went."
He noticed a confused look on his mother's face before she replied "Kris and Junior had a date? Well how wonderful!"
"Yeah," he stated "and that is why Dani and I were watching Jason. Kris should be over shortly to pick him up."
Jean nodded her head in understanding before he continued.
"I'm going to see if Junior wants to head to Ray's for some lunch and catch up some more. I think I have let him sleep in long enough."
He watched as his mom let out a gentle and hearty laugh before she replied "It's my pleasure to watch him. Have fun waking up Junior."
--
He woke to the sound of knocking on the door and he looked over to see if she was still asleep.
Realizing that she had woken as well he ran his hand through his hair before calling out "go away."
The knocking got louder and he watched Kris throw a pillow over her head and he heard a groan escape her lips.
"It's too early" he called to the person at the door "go away."
"Junior," he heard Matt call and he noticed her sit bolt upright in bed "it's already the afternoon, get your lazy butt out of bed. Let's go to lunch, we need to talk."
He grabbed her and pulled her back down in bed making faces as he did so. "Don't worry the door is locked," he teased.
She stifled a laugh and playfully shoved him away.
He leaned in to kiss her and she kissed him back.
"Good morning" he whispered.
"Morning," she replied softly placing another peck on his lips.
He knocked again and he could hear another groan escape his lips. "Go away!" he yelled at the door.
"Dude," he heard Matt call "if you don't let me in I have a key."
He wasn't sure if he had ever seen her move that fast, at least when she wasn't on Wildfire, but before he knew it she was out of bed and the bathroom door was closed behind her.
Groaning, and promising to himself that he would have to kill Matt for this later, he grabbed a pair of boxers and slipped them on. Lazily he walked towards the door before swinging it open.
"What?" he asked.
"You could have at least put some pants on." Matt stated amused.
"Hey, be happy I put the boxers on." Junior replied.
"Nuff said." Matt replied "Let's go for burgers. I am starving and I want to hear about your date."
"Give me an hour?" he asked.
"What do you honestly have to do at this time of day that would take you an hour?" he responded.
"You'd be surprised," he muttered under his breath.
"What?" Matt asked "I didn't quite catch that."
"I need to shower, get dressed, that sort of thing." Junior stated.
"Fine, I will pick you up out front in an hour."
"See you then," Junior stated as he closed the door.
Walking back into the room and hopping back onto the bed he called out "the coast is clear."
She popped her head out of the bathroom door before asking "did I hear you say shower?"
He laughed as he jumped off of the bed, which caused her to squeal and then laugh as he ran towards the bathroom.
"I thought you'd never ask." He responded grabbing her and closing the door behind him.
