Between the Sheets

Invisible House Guest

Working late into the night Jason Stone looks up at the clock on his office wall with a heavy sigh. It read a half past mid-night, turning his computer off he stands to leave for the night.

He runs a steady hand though his thick black hair as he waits for the elevator door to open. It had been a long day and still he felt as if he hadn't accomplished anything.

As he slides into the seat of his new red Mercedes he takes a moment to just relax before heading home.

Pulling up to the empty house he turns the engine off and drugs himself inside. Kicking off his shoes as he walked into the dark living room. Without turn on any lights he made his way to the bathroom.

Stripping down to bare skin, he starts the shower then steps in, letting the warmth of it bet down over the hard muscles of his back.

It wasn't always like this, at one time the house was full of joy and laughter. At one time Jason Stone wouldn't come home so late at night.

He had meet her once and that was all it took for him to fall head over hell's in love with her. They hadn't known each other long just a couple of week when he asked her to move in with him. She said yes, a mouth full of pleasure, a mouth full of joy, a mouth full of love. And it was all taking away form him in one single night. In one night she was gone, one night she was never coming back.

He would never see her smile again, never hear her laugh again.

He has known her and loved her for all of two mouths just to loose her in one night.

Anger feels his eyes as he feels a hot tear slip down his cheek now. Remembering her and that night that the cops had came to his house to tell him.

He had just got done cooking diner for that night, it was a surprise for her. The door bell rung, whipping his hands on a towel he heads for the door. He opens it with a smile, but it fades as he sees the two officers that stand at the door. One was a short red head with long locks that she kept pulled back. The other was tall and bulky with a crew cut hair style that was brown. Both of them where in uniform.

"Can I help you" Jason asked

"Jason Stone" The male officer asked

"Yes sir"

"Do you know a Heather Jackson"

His heart stopped

"Yes sir, is she alright"

"She listed you as a contact in case of emergency"

"Is she alright" he ask again almost yelling at the officer

"Miss Jackson has been in a car accident, she's in the hospital"

"Witch one" he asked

They tell him witch one, and he goes to her. He stayed by her side every day and night. Her parents came and he meet them. And when they decided to pull the plug he was mad. They had tried to call him from time to time but he has not answered his phone. He hated her parents for taking her away from him.

Now he drys his naked body and heads to bed covering himself, he drifts off to start another day the same way he always has.

Jason kicks at the box in his floor, today was the day he was moving into a new house. He had to, he land lady had kicked him out. He had known for quite a while that he had to move so he had been walking around boxes for awhile. But today was the day he was living his house, saying good bye to the memories.

He picked the box that he had just kicked up and head out to his car with it. Placing it in the trunk he closes it than places the key to the house into the land lady's mail box.
