Numero Treinta y Un

Tuesday went by pretty slowly. My mom finally came home and said hi, just to leave again. I didn't mind much though, I had the whole house to myself most of the time. She was always with her new boyfriend, Mike. Which was kind of weird considering her and my dad were still "technically" married but, whatever.





It was Wednesday morning. I suddenly felt someones arms around me which brought me out of my sleep. At first I thought it was just a dream so I ignored it. Then I felt someones warm breath on my neck. "Good morning." They said. The voice sounded familiar but, I was still incoherent from sleep. I rolled over and there I saw him. "What are you doing here?" I said confused. "I wanted to surprise you so I came down earlier." Jordan said. I didn't really know what to say so I just wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer to me. I couldn't actually believe he was here. Even though I hadn't been away from him that long it sure did feel like it. "Awh I love you babe, thanks for coming down." I said to him. "I love you too." He said while kissing me. "So how long until you leave me?" "Rae, I live in another state. You make it seem like I'm going to die or something." "Psh, you never know these days Jordan." I joked. "Hah right." "You still didn't answer my question." I continued. "Well lucky for you I don't have a game until Tuesday. So coach let me come but, I have to practice at the nearest rink while I am down here and I have to leave on Sunday so I can be there for practice early morning on Monday." "Yey." "Well considering I am really hungry and plane food is always nasty. Let's go get some grub?" He asked while smiling. Even though I would have rather just laid there in bed with him and not got up, I knew I wasn't going to win this one. "ugh if we must." "I need to be returned healthy and ready to kick some ass on Monday. You wouldn't want to be the reason that got in my way of that now would you?" "Oh shut up Jordan, just give me time to get up." "hmm, I'd rather not waste time." With that he scooped me up in his arms and picked me up off the bed. "Jordan! Put me down." "Nope." He walked me into my bathroom and turned on the shower. "I can do this on my own you know." "Oh but I'd much rather watch, or help." I felt the water and waited until it got warm. Then I slipped off my clothes and hopped in. "....well, are you coming in?" I asked Jordan. "Hmm, I suppose I could." He said while stripping. Well anyways, I don't need to go into detail about what happened next. So we went to a little diner we found after driving around for a little while. Considering I just moved there I didn't have a good sense of direction yet.

The rest of the week went by pretty fast. We spent our time visiting around the city and just hanging out. Somewhat catching up with each other because the last time we were together was pretty hectic. It was nice to just relax and be calm around him. We didn't have to worry about anything. Soon Sunday came around and it was time for him to leave. We were at the airport and he was about to board his plane. He set his bags down and wrapped his arms around my waist. I brought myself closer to him and laid my head on his chest. We just stood there like that for a few minutes until a lady came over the speaker and said it was time to board the plane. Jordan didn't move. "Jor you have to go, you don't want to miss your flight." "Ugh, I know. I don't want to though." "I'll visit you soon, I promise." "You better." "Alright. Bye baby. I love you." He leaned down to kiss me and lingered there while his hands ran along my lower back. "ah Jordan you need to leave. It's just making it worse and if this keeps going the way it is you will be missing your flight." "Hmm well I kind of like the sound of that." "Get on the plane." I ordered. "Love you babe." I went up on my tip toes and kissed him one last time. "I'll call you when I land. Bye." He reluctantly grabbed his bags and slowly walked onto the plane. I let out a loud sigh and just stood there for a few minutes. I eventually turned around and started walking away. I guess I wasn't really paying attention because I ran into to someone. I looked up at a tall, dark haired guy. "Oh wow, I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't paying attention." I blurted out. "Oh don't worry about it." I walked away and then waited for the bus that would bring me to where I parked my car earlier. I got seated on the bus and next thing you know that same guy I ran into walked on. He smiled at me and sat down right next to me. "So we meet again. By the way, I'm Sean." He said to me. "Hey, I'm Rae." "So what brings you to the airport?" "My boyfriend came down to visit me from Pittsburgh and he had to go back, so I drove him to the airport." "Why does your boyfriend live in Pittsburgh." "Well, uh...he plays on the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team." I always hated telling people that, I always feel like they won't believe me and think I'm crazy or something. "Oh wow, are you serious?" "Yeah..." "That's pretty cool." "Yeah but, it gets to be a pain with him always on the road and busy, and now we don't live anywhere near each other." "Why do you live down here then?" "Oh don't worry it's not my choice. Long story." "I've got time." "No offence or anything but, I don't even know you. I'm surprised I already told you as much as I have." "Yeah I guess your right." "Well I've got to go, so I guess nice talking to you?" "Yeah, bye." I walked off the bus, got in my car and drove home. When I got there my mom was in her room with her boyfriend so I decided there was no need to say Hi. I didn't want to interrupt 'anything.' I was pretty drained from the past few days so I filled up the bath tub and climbed in. While laying there, I soon drifted into a light sleep.
