After a few moments of what sounded like some boys ruff housing Jon came back to the phone.
"Sorry, he is going to take his dirty ass to the shower, so he won't bug us." He breathed out heavily.
"It's ok." I laughed. Just then his friend I heard his friend scream out "I am going to take a shower, so you can be alone, with your girlfriend."
"He's an idiot, really he is." Jon informed me. "How are the plants?" He asked with a laugh.
"I haven't checked them yet, you know I hate being here without you" I sighed.
"Becca, I have some great news about that" He sounded excited. "Our schedules got switched all around; I get to leave tomorrow night for home."
"Really?" I asked almost skeptically.
"Yes" He laughed. "It almost never happens but Joe had something personal to take care of, so they changed things a bit." I can tell he was happy. I was too.
"That's great." I said with excitement. "I really can't wait."
"Me either princess." I could tell he was smiling; I would have done anything to see his face.
"How long have you got?" I asked hopeful it would be awhile.
"I am going to catch the red eye home; I should be in at 3 am." He said. "Then I have 3 nights there."
"Well that's better than nothing." I wasn't sure if I was trying to convince him or myself that it was ok.
"I know it isn't much." He sighed "It is better than what I normally have though."
"I just wish it was more." I sighed "At least I get to see you."
"I am pretty much all your though, I mean with the exception of having to do laundry."
"That will only take a couple hours" I informed him.
"I got a lot it may take all day." He laughed. "Hey does it look like the maid showed up yet?"
" I am not sure, all of your fine porcelain knickknacks do look dustless and polished, so maybe."
"Just keep the chain on the door, she won't bother to knock if she shows up" He said.
"Won't she wonder who I am?" I asked
"She won't come in if the door is chained." He said. "She will think I am home and sleeping."
"OK, So is your maid some hot young girl?" I asked jokingly even though I was half serious.
"No, are you already jealous?" He laughed.
"Not really of her" I mumbled.
"Of whom then?" he asked all too curious.
"I am not really sure, Steve told me to just stay off the internet, and Kim showed me some stuff." I sighed. "I think maybe we should have this conversation some other time."
"Maybe" He sighed. "I haven't sleep with anyone since I met you, just so you know."
I laughed, "I don't want to have a serious conversation right now, forget I said anything."
"You sure?" He asked "Obviously we are going to have to at some time."
"Not now though" I tried to assure him I was fine with skipping over this for now.
Ok, so are you going to sleep in my bed tonight?"
"Yeah, it's better than the bathtub." I joked.
" Naked?" He asked with a laugh.
"Maybe" I smiled. "Or maybe not". I laughed
"You're difficult." He said in a hushed tone.
"You have no right to talk." I cautioned him with a laugh.
"I got to get some sleep, Becca and so should you." He said "I will be home in about twenty five hours now."
"I will see you when you get here." I smiled, "I can't wait."
"Neither can I." He said eagerly. "I will call you at some point tomorrow."
"Ok, I will be here, doing nothing." I laughed.
"You will find something to do, if not just sit around and think of me all day."
"I have been doing too much of that already." I assured him.
"There is no such thing as too much of that" He assured me. "Goodnight, princess."
"Goodnight." I said with a yawn.
I was tired but I didn't think I was going to sleep so well. The alcohol was really getting to me; maybe I shouldn't have drunk so much. I forced myself up off the couch and stumbled into Jon's room. The blinds were up and the room was filled with light from the streetlights outside. The bed was still unmade and there was still a slight impression on the sheets of where he lay the last time we were together. I wished he was there now. Luckily enough he would be tomorrow, I wasn't sure how I was going to allow him to leave again, this time it would certainly be harder than it was the last. The room and my head were spinning, I needed to sleep. I fought to escape from my clothes, it was a close battle but I won. I crawled into bed being careful to not disturb his side of the mattress and lightly placed my hand where he should have been. My fingers longed to feel his warm, soft flesh, Tomorrow would not come quick enough I thought as I willed myself to surrender to sleep.
The sound of loud knocking woke me, I didn't want to move, my head pounded and the room was still spinning. I forced my eyes to focus on the alarm, 9:30 am, I felt like I was asleep for fifteen minutes. I was never drinking again; I looked around realizing where I was. Then I heard the knock again, I really didn't want to move, I closed my eyes willing myself to fall back asleep. Another knock and I lay there debating if I should answer; I mean what I would even say. I heard my name with the next knock, "Fucking Steve!" I mumbled. I yelled out "Hold on" As I forced myself to sit up and I willed myself to not get sick, This was going to be a very long day, I thought to myself as I looked for a shirt to throw on.
Thanks again for all the reviews, my lovely ladies, sorry I missed an update. I will try and have another one for you later to make up for it. I am so happy that you all are enjoying the story.
