Thank you for another great review Coreys Kitten this update is for you. I must admit I also have to resist climbing into my laptop to cuddle that man! Another early shift means another early update enjoy!
The Knock at the door ruined what could have been a perfectly lovely moment. "I think that I should get that, it's probably the food" He smiled " Go, ahead and sit down, I will be right back." I nodded heading over to the couch and taking a seat I heard my phone ding letting me know I just got a text. I dig into my pocket glancing down at my phone. it was Kim of course I honestly didn't care what she said but I read it anyways.
Kim... when are you coming home?
I answered only to express the fact that I was still angry
Me... maybe NEVER!
Jon came springing back into the room, bag of food in hand. throwing himself down on the couch beside me. " Do you mind if we just share out of the container, They didn't send plates and I ran out of them here." I laughed "how do you manage to run out of plates?" He ripped open the plastic bag and set the food down in front of us. " I forgot to buy more" He casually stated. He shrugged his shoulders "Hey, at least they sent chopsticks, so we don't have to eat with our fingers" He looked at me smiling and I just smirked "You are such a man!" he laughed "That I am" My phone once again interrupted picking it up off the table I already knew it was another text from Kim. I read it even though I knew it would not be good.
Kim... Well I guess I will refrain from packing your things and finding a new roommate since I am sure you will be back here once he has gotten enough of you.
Kim was indeed a bitch but she was never this bad. I wasn't sure why she was acting this way but I could be just as stubborn so I quickly replied.
Me... Why would you? I never pack your stuff when you're out fucking somebody till they have had enough of you.
I smiled to myself, I thought it was a great response. Jon looked over at me as he lifted his chopsticks up to his mouth filling it with fried rice. Chewing quickly he swallowed his food.
"Not that it is my business but that's your friend again hey?"
I wasn't sure how he knew the look on my face probably gave it away. "Yea, it's her. As friendly as ever."
He shook his head. "Just what is her problem?"
I thought about it for a moment I really wasn't sure. " I don't really know"
He shrugged, "Maybe she is jealous" he offered. "It is possible right, I mean look at me I am pretty cute."
I laughed out loudly, looking over at him his expression turned into a look of fake hurt and he pouted at me. " Stop that" I said "You know you're adorable." I shook my head again stating " I doubt she is jealous, You saw Kim, She is gorgeous." Grabbing my bottle of water I took a sip and set it back down " she always gets any man she wants."
He set his food down and grabbed my hand while moving closer to me on the couch. He had the air turned on but his body gave off a great deal of heat. "And you don't?" He asked.
I blushed as he looked at me. He sounded completely serious. "Ummm, not usually" I said softly. looking away from his face and staring at his long graceful fingers as he laced them between mine.
"I find that hard to believe, Becca, He said softly. "You know you're pretty cute." taking his free hand and running the knuckle of his index finger over my nose gently, forcing my eyes to meet his. As I looked up he leaned in and softly kissed me. "I don't think you have a clue just how amazing you are."
My face grew warm and it stung from the heat. I couldn't speak,, there was no words coming from me. My breath was caught in my throat. I could only stare and hope I didn't look to ridiculous. He was the one to break the silence, "Are you ok?" I willed my mouth to coordinate with my brain "Yea, I guess I am just a little taken back by you." I said shyly. Grabbing my chin he forced me to look up at him again. His eyes were sparkling again, the look on his face was so relaxed and content. "I think I am by you too" He whispered out the words they were barely audible like they were caught in his throat.
He leaned back against the couch pulling me down on top of him as he wrapped his arms around me I relaxed into him. "Tell me, what you're thinking" He rubbed my arm slowly and as his fingertips caressed me it felt like electricity flowed between us. "I just want to know about you, anything about you." He tightened his grip on me and continued "You don't talk about yourself at all, I haven't asked because I can tell you're not comfortable with it." How did he sense that I thought to myself is it really so obvious? Jesus, I guess I really am a mess! "Please, anything at all" he said.
I sighed, My mind raced. What do I say? Really I didn't have much of interest to talk about. "I really don't know what to say." I thought for another moment "I guess I think you're too good to be true." I laid there against him, very still. "I don't think I am use to a men being so nice, honestly, I guess I have had some bad luck" I cleared my throat as I continued. "It's a long story and it's not all that interesting." I was glad that I didn't have to look into his eyes. "Is that what you wanted to know?" I asked. Surely I could never confide in him about everything. It would probably scare him away.
"I didn't want to interrogate you, Becca, I just want to know about you." Kissing the top of my head he pulled back and said "It's okay, you can tell me when you're ready."
I gathered all my courage together and turned to look at him, those eyes they burrow right through you into your soul. I forced myself to regain my composure and smiled as I said "there really isn't anything else to tell". I was hoping to convince him it was true, I doubt I fooled him but I had to give it my best shot.
Sitting up as he still kept his arms wrapped around me he just sat there for a second. He released me from his grip and I immediately missed his touch. He leaned in real close and whispered in my ear. "Like I said, you can tell me when you're ready." Standing up and stretching, he looked back at me as my phone began to ring. "You going to get that?" He asked. I nodded. "I will be in the bedroom packing, so I don't have to do it tomorrow." He said.
Glancing at my phone, I rolled my eyes; yes of course it was Kim. I debated if I should answer. I figured if I didn't it would only make it worse. "Yea" I said as i put my phone to my ear, just wanting to get this over with.
"Becca, I thought you may have wanted to know that Matt just stopped by, He was looking for you" She stopped I could hear her take a drag off her cigarette. As she exhaled she continued. "I told him you were not here."
Of course this would happen now. Why wouldn't it. This must have been some sort of a sign. "And?" I questioned
"And I told that asshole if he came here again I would call the fucking cops!" Taking another drag of her cigarette she breathed out. "Just who the hell does he think he is anyways?" I could hear her take another drag. "I mean don't you have a restraining order against that creep?"
"Yes" I sighed "But you know it doesn't do much good." I leaned forward and rubbed my forehead. Why now I asked myself. "Kim, I said you ok there alone?" Even though I was mad I didn't want her to be alone if he stopped back.
I could hear her moving around the house. she must have went into the bathroom and turned the water on. "No I am not alone she laughed"
No of course not I thought to myself. I am sure she brought someone home last night why wouldn't she have. "Blondie" I asked
"He wasn't so bad, his friend asked about you again." I heard her knock something over and it smashed. "Fuck!" after a few seconds she said "Ummm you remember that perfume you bought for yourself the other day? Well you're not going to smell like it again but the bathroom will for the next week."
"Damn it Kim" I blurted out. "I got to go" I felt a migraine approaching.
"Hey" She yelled out "How was he? You rat" She laughed
I shook my head "Goodbye Kim"
"You're going to tell me everything when you get home" I heard her yell out as I hung up.
I sat there not knowing if I wanted to cry or scream. This was all too much at once. I didn't know why once one good thing happened all these bad things had to follow. I tried hard to push it all out of my mind. I just couldn't let Matt take anything else away from me. Not ever again. I tried to calm myself down. I took a few deep breaths and stood up walking towards the bedroom.
