It's You...

Chapter 9.

I'm on board, on my way back home. I look out of the window and all I think about is Jen. I have to admit this now, I can't stop thinking about her. I'm restless, I'm lost when I'm away from her. I'm familiar with this feeling that has awaken in me again by her. I was afraid at first to name it. I didn't wanted this to happen again but still it did.

And now, I'm not afraid anymore to say that I love her. I loved her right from the day I met her. It's just took me this many days to realize it.

When I found her, I found happiness again. She has brought light into my darkness. I didn't expected I would ever be able to love someone again. But here I'm truely, madly, completely in love with Jen. It just happened so fast. These two days away from her made me realise that she means more to me than anything else. She means the world to me. I love her. I love Jen. I want her to know this. But first I need to know what she thinks about me.

Once, when I'm finally home, I head straight to my bedroom and to my closet. I turn on the lights, and the first thing I see is the shirt that I wore when I took Jen to dinner. I remember, I didn't throw it in the laundry basket but instead I kept it in my shirt section. I walk towards it, remove it from the hanger and sniff it. It still smells of her. Peaches and milk. And now I want to see her on the spur of the moment. Like just right now.

It's 10:45pm, I don't care, I'm going to her right now. Before going, I get changed into another shirt and jeans. Looking at the time and the state I'm in, I carry some condoms too, because.....what if.......I get lucky tonight?

Jennifer shuts her eyes and opens them again, rolling on her bed, changing her positions. She does this again and again. She's not able to sleep. She's excited that Brendon is coming back and that he's going to come to her place to see her tomorrow. She can't wait for tomorrow. She sits upright on her bed and since she cannot sleep, she goes in the living room area and prefers watching some movie on the TV.

She has eased herself on the couch and is peacefully watching the movie. Just then she hears someone knock on the door. It's 11:15pm. Who can it be at this time? Jennifer assumes. And there's another bang on the door. This one startles her. She switches off the TV and runs to her bedroom to cover herself in her nighty robe, since her nighty is quite short and revealing, she doesn't wants to embarass herself. She hurriedly walks to the door and opens it.

Her lips parted with shock and surprise, her eyes are wide open, she inhales deep when she sees Brendon standing in front of her. She doesn't know how to react on his sudden appearance. She was expecting him to come tomorrow, not today. Not at this time atleast.

"Can I come in?" His voice is deep and warm.

She shifts aside to let him come in. He walks in, he's eyes not leaving hers. She's flushed and has a shy smile on her face. She ambles behind him, locking the door behind her and notices every gestures of him. He moves his head, checking out her apartment. Jennifer follows his gaze to everything his eyes falls on.

"That's your room?" He points out to the open door of her room.

"Yes."

"Were you sleeping? Did I disturbed you?" He turns around, facing her.

"No,"  she purses her lips and gulps. Her heart pounds by the way he is gazing at her.

He steps closer and her heart skips a beat. Brendon slids his hands around her waist, pulling her closer.

"You were supposed to come tomorrow," Jennifer whispers, breathing heavy.

"I couldn't wait till tomorrow," murmurs Brendon.
