Chapter 33

Chapter: 33

The next morning we both sleep in until well past noon. I wake first and decide to take a shower. I grab my duffle bag and I walk down to the bathroom. I turn on the water and I take off my sleep clothes and hop in. I wash my hair and wash up. I get and wrap my towel around me. I brush through my hair and I look in the mirror. There is a dark hickey on my neck and I smile. I'm so glad Patrick and had some alone time, even if it was it a bathroom at a disco high on coke. I'm slightly worried about everyone knowing about our sex life but it's too late now. I change into some jean shorts and a black tee shirt. I braid my wet hair and I walk into Jen's room. She's up and sitting in bed

'Good morning' I say with a smile.

Jen smiles 'Morning, when did you get up?' She asks me.

'About a half hour ago, I took a shower I hope that's okay?' I ask her.

'Of course it's okay, last night was fun' she says 'I'm glad you got to reconnect with Patrick' she smiles.

I nod 'Me too but I'm just worried about Darcy and his brother.' I tell sitting on the bed.

'I'm sorry but you still have us and I will always have you back, even if you're a big old slut' she laughs and I hit her arm laughing.

Jen gets up and takes a shower and I cover up my hickey with some concealer. She walks back into the room and she's wearing a pair of jeans and green halter top. He hair is pulled into a pony tail and she adds a brown braided belt. I grab my purse and we head down stairs. Jen makes us some eggs and I decide to call my house.

J: Hey, dad how's it going and Happy New Year

D: Hi, Happy New Year to you too

J: Did you find out anything?

D: No but I think I want you to stay with Jen for the time being. I have gut feeling this isn't over and I need you to stay safe.

J: I understand did you want to talk to Jen's parents?

D: If they aren't busy, sure.

I put Howard on the line and Sara picks up the other phone in their bedroom and they talk for a little while and the Howard hands me back the phone

J: Hey

D: Everything is all set with the Rogan's if you want to come by and grab more clothes or anything you might Willy and I will be here all day today

J: I'll come over now with Jen I'll see you soon

We hang up and tell Jen what's the plan. Jen grabs her purse from the kitchen and we drive over to my house. When we pull up there is a sheet taped up over the garage door to hide the painted words. We go inside with my empty suit case and duffle and go upstairs. I grab some more clothes, a pair of shoes, another swim suit and my blanket from my bed. We say a quick good bye to my dad who gives me a long hug and a kiss on the head. I grab my surf board and place it in my back seat and we head back to Jen's house. I put my board in her garage by hers and we walk back into the house. Sara tells me that since I will be staying longer she fixed up the guest room for me. Jen shows me where it is and helps me hang up my stuff in the closer.

The room is spacious with white short carpet, light blue walls, and a large queen size bed on one wall. There is a white dresser, a desk with a chair a love seat and coffee table. There is a bathroom attached to the room with a glass shower and a light blue bathtub and sink. There are fresh towels on the bed and I take them and my bathroom items to the bathroom, and set them on the shelf. I spread out my blanket on the bed and put my pillows on the bed. I also take out the framed photo of me and Patrick from Homecoming on the bedside table. I trace the words engraved on the frame and I smile.
