I pulled over in a dark wooded area, it was quiet and secluded. My eyes were weak and they burned. My phone rang again. I don't know what anybody was thinking, I wasn't accepting calls. The last person I wanted to talk to was Kim and she could call all damn night for all I cared. I still wasn't going to answer. I had to clear my head, my temples throbbed. I reclined the seat back and closed my eyes. I tried to push all the thoughts out of my head; I just wanted to forget everything for just a little while.
I woke up and the thought of everything that happened immediately began to creep back in. I could see that the sky was beginning to light up. I couldn't believe that I slept so long. I was only going to rest for a few minutes. I reached over on the seat next to me to feel out my phone; bringing it up to my face I noticed it was dead." Oh, shit!" I mumbled out. I readjusted myself in my seat and pulled the back out, turning the car on and plugging my phone in. Looking at the stereo in my car I noticed it was 5:10 in the morning. My phone was going nuts, with alerts for missed calls and texts. I picked it back up and skimmed down the list. Kim called and texted a lot as I suspected she would have. But my heart sank when I saw that I missed a call and two texts from him. "Oh my God, Jon" I put the car in reverse and backed out on to the road before I started to head back to the house. I needed to fix the problems not run from them anymore.
I got out of the car, and took a deep breath. I couldn't keep running from this. I stretched my arms up over my head. Trying to guess at how far from home I was. I knew I had to have driven awhile, so I guessed I had a drive ahead of me to get home. I really didn't mind it though; it would give me more time to think. I climbed back into my car and Leaning my head on the steering wheel for a moment I thought about the entire mess and I knew that even though I wanted to forgive Kim I doubted I would too easily for once. Sitting up I shifted the car into reverse and backed out onto the dirt road. Putting the car in drive I found my way back onto the highway. I needed coffee and a bathroom, not in that order. According to the signs, that wasn't going to happen for about twenty miles. So I turned the music up and made my way words the rising sun.
As I exited the building I pulled back the little tab on the black plastic lid taking my first sip of what they had promised would be coffee but it was far worse than it should have been I will drink it anyways because I need it. As I juggled my keys wallet and coffee I made my way back to the car. Of course my phone demanded my attention at a time like this making it back to my car before it stopped ringing I threw everything on the hood of my car and grabbed it out of my pocket thinking it was just Kim I answered. "Look I am on my way home. I am fine; we will talk when I get there."
There was a silence for a moment then I heard "Becca?"
I was shocked it was him. "Jon Sorry I thought you were Kim."
"What's going on?"
I sighed "Nothing really, I am ok, I just had a disagreement with Kim."
"And where are you?" He sounded concerned.
"I just took a ride to clear my head and get out of that house." I assured him.
"But you're ok?"
"Yes, I am fine." I smiled. It was nice to hear his voice.
"Good I am glad" he sighed.
" So are you ok?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah I am fine, happy I got a hold of you."
"Me too." I said weakly, I really did mean it. I just couldn't keep the thoughts of everything quiet.
"Do you need a place to stay?" He asked
"No" I laughed "I have a home."
"Are you sure? Steve has keys to my place." He offered. "I could have him give them to you."
"No way, I am fine."
"Are you sure?" He questioned
"Yes really, wait you gave a bartender your house keys?" I laughed
"Well we are friends too; he goes over and waters the plants when I am gone." He joked.
"Some job he does, he must have killed them because I didn't see any."
"You were too busy looking at my ass."
I rolled my eyes. "You only caught me once."
"I caught you more than that; I was just being a gentleman and not pointing it out." He insisted
I laughed, he was right but I knew he couldn't confirm it. "Stop trying to get me to confess to crimes I didn't commit"
"That sounded like a confession to me." He taunted me.
"It never holds up unless it is in writing" I teased.
"I am glad I got to talk to you." He sighed "But I got to go in a couple minutes."
"Its okay." My smile faded "I know your busy."
"Hey, I am going to call you later, Princess, I promise."
"I'll answer you this time, promise." I said
"I hope so. "He breathed out.
I could just picture him in my mind those eyes, those lips, that cute nose. The thought of him made me warm with excitement.
"I will, I will talk to you soon." I assured
"If you need me just call, I will get back to you as soon as I can."
"I will be fine." I unlocked my door and threw my stuff on the seat.
"Ok, If not then get a hold of me." He insisted
"Oh my white knight so gallant." I laughed. "But seriously thank you."
"You're welcome and get use to me being you're white knight, I like the idea." I could see the smirk he wore while saying that.
"We will see." I said
"I guess we will, but I am right." He laughed. "I got to run I will call you tonight."
"Ok, talk to you then. " I didn't want to hang up but I guess I was getting my first taste of what this would be like.
"Bye for now princess, think of me"
I threw my phone in the car and sat down behind the wheel. Maybe that was just what I need because all the sudden things didn't seem so bad. Starting the car I looked at the clock. Almost six am. I should be home by nine. Plugging my phone back into the charger and turning the music up I took another long sip of the offending, thick horrible liquid that this place claimed was coffee and headed back out to the highway.
Sorry I didn't post anything for you yesterday. Hope this makes up for it a little. Thank you to everyone who reviewed. You all rock! I will get to some more serious details about Becca soon, I just wanted to kind of have a cute little convo between Becca and Jon cause I needed to make you all wait honestly!
