I wake up to an empty bed that's weird maybe he got called into work. After I brush my teeth I walk into the living room and find him sleeping on the sofa. So I guess he didn't get call into work after all. That's weird yesterday everything was perfectly fine did I do something wrong? Oh my gosh what if he regrets saying he loves me? That's the only thing I can think of. I won't be able to face him if that is true I feel tears burning in the back of my eyes. I need to get out of here I need some fresh air. I walk back to the room and changed into some sweats and put a hoodie over Gabe's shirt.
I put my phone inside my purse and quietly walked out the front door. I love the fall! I love watching how the tress change into different colors. The planet would be a much prettier place if the tress were like this all year around. I love feeling the fresh air hitting my face. I take out my phone and dial Sammy I need to talk to some one.
“Hello” she answer in her sleepy voice.
“Sammy!” I'm so excited to hear her voice after so long.
“Jane do you know what time it is?” I look down to my phone and it's 7:00 am. I didn't know it was this early but I don't care that's what she gets for not answering my other calls.
“Why haven't you answered my calls?” I sigh.
“I'm sorry it has been a little hectic around here” she answer.
“What's going on?” now I'm worry.
“All I know is that it must be some thing big because every one is running around like manics” she says. They are probably getting ready for a big drug deal or something else.
“Have you seen my dad?” I kick a rock.
“Barley he has been so busy lately all he does is work” she says. Poor dad with out me in the picture he has no one to distracted him.
“What's wrong prima?” she ask, I forgot how well she knows me.
“Nothing” I try to convince her.
“Aaa nope not buying it. You don't trust me any more?” great now I hurt her feelings.
“Of course I trust you Sam” I reassure her.
“Now let it out” she demand.
“I met some one” I whisper.
“No way!,” she shout “You did?”.
“Yeah” I laugh.
“Who is he? What is his name? How old is he? How did you guys meet? Okay from a scale of 1 to 10 how hot is he?”.
“Breath Sammy” I giggle and I hear her gasp for some air.
“He is my room mates brother, and on then scale he is a 20” I don't want to give her to much details. I trust her but better safe than sorry.
“Wow a 20 so what's the problem?” she ask.
“I-I think I'm in love” well I don't think I know.
“Oh my god that's great your first love!” she beams “but I still don't see the problem”.
“I don't know if he loves me,” I turn a corner I have been walking for a little while now I have no idea where I'm going.
“Jane that's ridiculous you can tell when some one is in love” she says.
“How?” I bite down on my lip.
“Easy like if he wants to be around you all the time, if he finds any excuse to touch you, if his eyes shine every time he see's you” sounds like I'm not the only one in love around here.
“Sounds like I am not the only one in love” I say.
“Okay I can't lie to you I am in love” I can hear her smiling.
“Oh my god! Who is he? Does tio know about him? Where did you meet?” now is my turn to ask all the questions.
“Dad knows and he approves and I'm not telling you his name you'll just have to come and meet him in person” she says. That's not going to happen because I'm never going home.
“That's so not fair” I'm annoyed.
“You didn't tell me your lover's name so therefore you can't be mad at me” she is right.
“Fine I'm happy for you” I cross the street.
“I can't believe we both are in love at the same time!” her voice is full of excitement. Hopefully she doesn't get her heart broken by who ever she is dating. “And Jane don't worry about it if he is a smart guy then he will realize he is in love with you and if he don't then he doesn't deserve you” she add. If only it was that easy.
“Yeah you're right. I miss you Sam” I say.
“Me too are you ever coming home?” she ask. I feel a knot growing in my throat and I swallow it back down before speaking.
“Of course I have to meet this guy of yours” I lie.
“Hopefully soon” Sam voice is cracking and that's my cue.
“Have to go I'll call you soon” I try to keep it together.
“Okay love you” I hang up before I start crying. I swear it gets harder and harder to talk to her. I walk for a little longer I'm not ready to go home just yet. I end up in front of a private investigator office. This must be a sign with everything that has been going on I forgot that I'm searching for the truth about my mother. I walk inside the office “Good morning” the black hair lady sitting in front of the desk greets me. “Hi, good morning do you guys accept walkins?”
I ask. “Yes we do if you would please take a seat and I'll go check if Mr. Miller is available” she motions to the waiting room. “Thanks” I sit down. I try cleaning my self up I probably look like a mess. “Mr. Miller will see you now” she announced. “Thank you so much” I walk pass her. “Hi I'm David Miller” he greets me. “Hi I'm Jane” I shake his hand.
“Please take a seat” he motions me. Mr. Miller is in his early 40's, he has a few white hairs but they only make him look more professional. “How may I assist you today Miss. Jane?” he sits. “I would like to find out more information about my mother” I cross my legs and play with my chain. “I can help you with that” he nods. I really hope he can help me. “How much will it coast me?” I ask. Before we keep going with this I need to know how much it's going to cost me. “Well if I take the case there is a fee to pay and then I'll charge you by the hour” he says. “How sure can I be that you'll find out what I want to know?” I have to make sure it's worth it. “I take my job very serious Miss. Jane if there is something out there you can trust me I'll find it” he says and I believe him.
“Mr. Miller you have yourself a new client” I extend my arm and he shakes it. Thankfully I always carry cash on me so I was able to pay the fee. He ask me what I know about her and I told him everything. It's not much but I hope he can work with that. “If you can't reach me for any reason I give you permission to mail me anything at this address” I give him my address. “Nice doing business with you Misses.
Carter” he gives me a warm smile. “The same here” I walk out and head home time to face the music. As I walk up the stairs my heart is pounding like crazy. I open the door and Gabe ambush me “Where have you been?”. He brings his arms around me and squeezes me. “I went for a walk” I say to his chest and smell him in. He stretch his arms and stares at me “At this time?”. I stand up straight and cross my arms around my chest “Why did you sleep on the sofa?” lets get this over with. He cover his face with his hands and let out a small growl “Because I was waiting for Sophia to get home”.
My shoulders drop as I let out a breath “Oh really?”. I walk to her room and open the door to find it empty “She probably stayed at Jake's” I pull out my phone and send her a message.
“Why did you go out for a walk so early?” Gabe is staring at me. “I-I thought you changed your mind about us” I avoid his stare. I guess he isn't the only one who jumps to conclusions. He walks towards me and lifts my chin up “I can't change my mind about you because you are here” he place my hand over his heart. I smile and put his hand over my heart “And so are you”. He pulls me towards him “Silly woman”. He leans down to kiss me and I run my hands up his back. “I love you” he says on my lips and I smile. It feels so good to know that he doesn't regret saying those words to me. “I love you too”. I hear his stomach growl “I'll make some thing to eat” I say. As I walk pass him he slaps me on the ass “That's for leaving this morning” he said with a smirk. I usually don't like getting smack on my ass but with Gabe it's a different story. “Maybe I should do it more often” I wink.
His face drops “Don't play with me Muffin”. His eyes are burning with desire I blow him a kiss and walk to the kitchen. A few minutes later my phone rings and it's Sophia.
“Sophia,” I answer “Gabe is beyond furious” I turn to see where Gabe is at.
“I know I know,” she says “How mad is he?”.
“Mad mad like a pit bull chasing the neighbor's cat that has been teasing him all week” I add blueberries on the pancake mix.
“I didn't mean to stay the night,” she sounds nervous “put him on the phone”.
“Baby” I yell. “Yeah Muffin” he yells back from the bathroom.
“Sophia wants to talk to you” the bathroom door opens.
“Good luck” I whisper to Sophia she is going to need it. I hand him the phone. “Sophia” he answer with a serious tone.
“Why didn't you call or even text?” he ask. “Well he should of brought you home like I told him in the first place” he runs his hands through his hair. I walk over to him and kiss his chest to calm him down. “He just lost the few points he won last night” he shakes his head at me as I kiss his neck. I travel to his Adam apple all the way up to his chin and he shivers underneath me. “N-No” he says. I stand on my toes and kissed the corner of his mouth “W-what?” he ask as he stares at me. I kiss his other corner “We-We'll talk when you get home I'm sort of distracted right now” he hangs up. I try walking away but he lifts me up onto the table “That's not going to help her”. I shrug “I don't know what you are talking about”. He settles in between my legs “Baby you can't pull one on me”. He licks my bottom lip and it sends chills all over my body. I pull him by his shirt and nibble on his lip.
He lets out a small moan into my mouth that cause me to moan back. He rest his forehead on mine “What am I going to do with you?”. Oh I can think of a few things he can do to me. “Love me” I suggest. “Exactly” he gives me a quick kiss and puts me back on the floor. I slap him on his ass and start on breakfast. Sophia gets home just in time for breakfast and Gabe gives her a long lecture on spending the night over some ones house she just met. They get into a little argument like always but quickly make up Sophia begs Gabe to give Jake another chance and after a few kisses from me he agree on going to the movies for a double date. “You know we haven't been on a official date just the two of us” he says as we drive back home. “You're right we haven't” I reply. “How about we go out tomorrow on our first real date?” he ask.
“Okay where are you taking me?” I beam. “I don't know is there any where or any thing you would like to do?”.
Honestly I'm fine staying home snuggling with him all day.
“Mmm,” I pretend to think “surprise me”.
“Surprise I will” he smirks.
