Love isn't always enough A Jordan Knight/ Joey McIntyre fanfic

Chapter 10: Missing you

I got a picture in the mail the other day with a shirt from the tour that he had worn. He knew I couldn't send him one because he was always at a different place. 

Tonight he is in Provo, Utah; they have eight shows left, and he will be home in fifteen or sixteen days. Him being gone has been so hard. 

I miss him so much, and I am glad he sent me a new shirt because his smell had faded away from his side of the bed, the couch, and his shirts.  

When the girls came back to my house that night after the concert the last time I saw him. They were amazed by all the photos of Jordan and me through high school. 

Confused that my fiance' who was always traveling for business, allowed me to hang pictures of me and my ex up in our house. I just wanted to tell them the truth, that Jordan was my fiance', this was our house, and I missed him so damn much. 

No one knew that the song I'll be loving you forever was written about me; Jordan sang it to me one night after he left the studio. Donnie, Danny, and he had been in there getting it perfect, and he called me and asked me to meet him in the parking lot and sang it to me after we arrived at our spot.    

His voice gave me chills, and I cried. I kissed him, and we made love that night on the hood of his car. At the concert we attended, he sang it to me, knowing it was our song. 

I miss him so much; sixteen days, and I can wrap my arms around him. I probably won't even let him go for days, maybe weeks. I know we won't leave the bedroom for days. I hug his pillow tighter as I stare at the picture he sent me.

I am crying as our phone rings; I walk over and answer it, "Hello."

"Hey, baby girl. What's wrong, you sound down?"

"Hey, baby. No, I'm fine, just missing you. I got the package you sent me, and I am sniffing your shirt."

"I miss you too, baby, so much. Sadly I have sniffed your shirts so much that your scent is gone. We are almost finished; you better clear your schedule because we aren't leaving the house for weeks, and we are going to be piled up in the bedroom for days. Stock up on some snacks and supplies to get us through the first week."

"I'm ahead of you, baby. I already cleared my schedule and have been in touch with my teachers that I won't be in class; Patrick, my friend from school and Tara are going to take notes for me. I did buy some bottled water and chips. We will still have to cook some meals, but we can do those in the nude."

"My gosh, baby, I miss you so much. I am getting turned on just thinking about us cooking dinner naked. Sixteen days can't come fast enough. These have been the hardest twelve weeks of my life."

"I know I need you so bad, Jordan, ain't that the truth? I wish I could just sleep for the next sixteen days, and I'm right there with you, babe. These twelve weeks have been horrible; I have worked and done my schoolwork. Even went out with the girls; they have tried to keep me distracted, but nothing helps when I come home to our empty home and empty bed. The loneliness surrounds me like a cloud."

"I'm so sorry, baby. I know how you feel. I love you so much, Stephanie and I really can't wait to be home in your arms. I have to go. Maurice is giving me the eye; we have a sound check, and I'm late. I will call you tonight when we stop for fuel. I love you, I love you, I love you and can't wait to be home with you and kiss those sexy lips."

"No, need to apologize, baby and me too. I can't wait to feel your arms around me. I'm sure he is, and I can't wait. I love hearing your voice. I love you so much, Jordan, and these sexy lips are waiting for those sexy lips. Bye, sweetheart."

"Bye, my love." The phone hung up; she stood there for a minute, then laid it back down on the base. She walked to their closet, and she looked at his clothes hanging beside her clothes. His shoes were beside her shoes.
