West Coast Winter

Red

I would just like to take this moment to say, "Fuck my life!", as I stare down at the red drops. "God damn it!"

I have to go to work this morning and I was so stoked to be getting off early to jam over to the airport after work, but now I'm fucking furious that aunt flow is joining me on my Valentine weekend getaway with Charlie. I already know I'm going to be exhausted when I get there after work and a five-hour flight. I miss my Charlie bear so much and I was really looking forward to being naked all weekend with not a care in the world.

I huff as I peel off my clothes and get in the shower. I can't wait to get through work. I hurry through my shower and dress quickly in my scrubs. I dress Nina and make her lunch before we pile into the car. Mom pulls the car up to the school and I get out to hug Nina.

"Ok, baby love. Be good for Nana while I'm gone. I love you. Have fun with human sissy at the movies." I kiss her on the cheek.

"Um... mom?", Nina starts.

"Yes, baby?"

"Will you bring me presents?", Nina smiles.

"I always bring you presents. When have I ever forgotten to shower you with gifts when I return from a trip?" I boop her nose and kiss her rosy cheeks once more. "I'll see you on Monday night, baby bear."

"Bye, mom! Tell Charlie I miss him!", Nina waves behind her as she runs up to the steps of the school.

I shout to her, "I will!"

Eleven-thirty came around quickly because we had so many patients. I shut off my computer and practically run to the time clock. My phone buzzes in my pocket as I clock out for the day. I drag my mom away from a last- minute question someone has as they inevitably do.

"It's time to go, mom", I say trying not to look too excited as I lean in the doorway. On our way to the car, I pull my phone out to see a text message from Charlie.

Charlie: On your way to the airport?

Jaclyn: Just got in the car.

Charlie: I can't wait to see you. Kiss you. Hold you. Other things you.

Jaclyn: Someone is eager. By someone, I mean me. Lol. I'm going to try to sleep on the plane. It's never easy. I of course have a book handy to help me relax at the very least. I don't want to miss a second of my time with you. I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Charlie: Get plenty of rest. There's so much I want to show you when you get here. I love you. Safe travels my love.

Jaclyn: Love you too.

I conveniently left out that I just started my period and will be relatively useless this weekend. I got to the airport in what seemed like no time, especially with lunch hour traffic.

I pull out my copy of Phantom of the Opera and dive back in. I'm greedily consuming every page. It's really helping me take my mind off the long flight. Before I know it, I've finished most of the book and the plane is descending into New York. I feel slightly more nervous about this weekend, but mostly disappointed. I packed lots of sexy lingerie and other fun sexy things. Right now all I want is a shower and cuddles with Charlie. The cramps have kicked in pretty bad. The shitty part of this is I'm on birth control which is supposed to stop my periods. All it did was make them lighter. I'm aching and sleepy. God damn it!

I grab my tote and duffel bag once the plane lands. I begin to trudge my way off the plane. I head up the escalator to ground transportation. My phone buzzes in my pocket. It's Charlie.
"Hi. I'm here. I'm coming up the escalator", I say yawning.
"I know. I can see you."
My head snaps up and I look around the dude in front of me as I clear the escalator . Charlie is dressed in navy slacks and a white button down with a blue cardigan. He's waving at me with his phone to his ear and smiling brightly at me. I begin to pick up my pace with my heavy bags slamming into me as I walk. My curly hair is caught under the shoulder strap.
Charlie bellows, "Jackie!"
When I finally get across the barrier, I drop my bags in front of me and Charlie picks me up. I wrap my legs around him and I kiss him all over his face.
I say into his neck, "I look like hot garbage. I'm in my scrubs for Christ's sake!"
"You look hot. Like a sexy nurse. A really tired and sexy nurse", Charlie smiles while still holding me. Our foreheads are pressed together.
"I'm not a nurse, Charlie. It's just the uniform. I'm just a receptionist", I shrug.
"We can still play doctor and front desk receptionist after hours, can't we?", Charlie says huskily and despite how gross I feel, my pussy still throbs for him. The hormones cause the ache to be even more intense.
I decide to change the subject. "How are we getting to your place?"
"We're taking the air train and then the subway. C'mon.", Charlie sets me down and picks up my bags. He slings them over his broad shoulder and I follow him. After Charlie purchases our Air Train tickets from the kiosk, I follow him on board. We settle with my duffel in his lap and my tote in mine. He wraps his hand around mine and I sink against his warmth. Before I know it, we're changing trains. The second train ride is longer.
