The Bearer Of News

Growing Suspicious - Chapter 2

All this travelling by plane and now car again was making me feel so exhausted, I'd never been one for long journeys, I usually get travel sick and as we continued down the highway at what seemed like 20mph I felt myself becoming less and less functional.

"I didn't even know what to do, I was devastated, I thought my little baby was gone forever and that I'd never see him again, poor Jack. Even Ben was torn up. Thank god he was found safe and sound. When he got home I bathed him and cuddled him like a teddy bear, I just wish Ben could've been there to comfort me, right Ben?"

Me and Ben seemed to both have switched off, I couldn't have been listening for a while all I had heard was 'gone forever and that I'd never see him again', I figured she was currently talking about something like wildlife on the discovery channel. But I could tell at this point she was growing more and more upset so, I leant forward on my leather seat and smiled while looking at her, Ben confused, I turned up the volume on the music which was playing and sung at the top of my lungs...

"Nice to meet you, where you been?"

(At this point we were all screaming our heads off)

"I could show you incredible things, magic, madness, heaven, sin...

Saw you there and I thought oh my god,

Look at that face, you look like my next mistake,

Love's a game, want to play"

What an epic way to end a car journey, absolute rodney's. Ben was giving us deceiving looks and decided to turn the music down as we approached the drive way to their small quaint house. The driveway seemed like a dusty old track where the trees hugged the road and created a cave like scene, well, that's what I thought seems as it was dark.

1:03am we all settled for bed, we'd had a few drinks, mostly me and Ben though, he drank half a case of Budweiser and I must have had 2 or 3. We sat in the large living room watching movies starting with 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. Love it! It's like old times. Me and Samantha used to have girly sleepovers when we were in our teenage years and we always ordered plain cheese pizza, choose a chick flick movie and then end up crying when it came to the end. So tonight was reminiscent, good old times with my bestie.

When we had got inside their house initially we had spent hours talking and discussing things we had been up to and the good old times we had. She even told me what it was like moving over here in the given circumstance of her falling in love, which I never understood.  Although, I still hadn't heard this grand news she was still yet to tell me about. Nor had she asked me about my news either, a little odd if you ask me. I had my suspicions...

Anyhow Samantha wasn't feeling very well but it'd still been a good night in with her. Although she didn't tell me her big news yet I was positive I was going to share mine with her, my new job was amazing and I know she'll be so happy for me. I want her to come and stay over mine in London. I have some big jobs coming up in the new year lots of new agents and contracts, without a doubt it is exciting to be involved in.

But for now I knew I ought to rest up, before it gets too late and I crash out on their sofa, I don't fancy waking up to dogs drooling over me!
