CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE

"I'm jealous of the nights, that I don't spend with you. I'm wondering who you lay next to. Oh, I'm jealous of the nights. I'm jealous of the love, Love that was in here. Gone for someone else to share. Oh, I'm jealous of the love."

                                                    Scarlett's POV

So, I did a thing. Now I am currently sat on the floor outside Jay's apartment. Luckily the door man let me into the building else I would be outside in the rain. It's half past ten on a Thursday night.  When he has answered my messages today and my subtle questions of what his plans were for the night led me to believe he was leaving set, going home having a quick work out and shitty meal compared to when I cook for him and then crashing out in bed. So, where the hell is he? He hasn't messaged me back for about three hours and I'm trying really hard not to panic. I know he's been working hard lately so it is possible he is still on set. He is currently working on a new show so I know he is feeling the pressure. So, here I am sat on top of my suitcase outside my sort of boyfriends apartment late at night waiting for him to put in an appearance because I was stupid enough to think it would be a great idea to surprise him, either that or I have a severe mental problem. It's hard to tell at the moment. You pick the option, just choose wisely. My psycho might be showing.

The next thing I know I can hear the sounds of voices and giggling. What the fuck? I know I had my concerns but I don't need them confirmed. Ok this was so a bad idea, I think I'm going to throw up. Shit, I must have fallen asleep because my phone tells me it's just after two in the morning. And still no response or sign of Jensen. Now I'm pissed. Two seconds later I'm looking at two woman looking back at me one concerned and one like I'm the scum of the earth. The latter is a gorgeous red head and the former is an equally stunning asian woman I vaguely recognise from 'Dark Angel'. 

"Someone ought to tell Jensen he has a package dumped on his doorstep." The red head sneers. 

"What was that?" I hear a male voice say coming up behind the girls. He seems to have been deep in a conversation with another man and hasn't noticed me yet. The next thing  I know my name is being shouted and I'm picked up and spun around by none other than Christian. 

"Hi, Chris. Had a good night, have we?" I say laughing as he places me back down on my feet. Just as Jase walks over and kisses me on the cheek. 

"Well, it hasn't been too bad a night, but it's definitely getting better." Jase says.

"Good, good. I'm glad you've had fun. Erm..... any sign of the man himself?" I ask wondering if I have somehow missed him coming home.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" The red head asks, looking down her nose at me as a man comes up behind her and puts his arm around her shoulder. 

"Now, now Dee. Play nice." He says kissing her on the cheek. "Hi, I'm Riley, this is Daneel and this is Nicole. Obviously you already know these pair."

"That I do." I state laughing at the pair of idiots in question. "Nice to meet you all." I say with a soft smile. "I think I sort of fell asleep, I'm still a little dazed I think, sorry." I continue trying to keep things light and friendly. I'm absolutely not panicking about where the hell  Jensen is? Why he didn't say anything about going out? I would have found a hotel and came back in the morning if I had known. It wouldn't have been an issue. I don't mind him going out. What I do mind however is who the head the red head is and why the fuck is she looking at me like that? Then the last and most sickening question of all. Was I right to be worried? To have the concerns I had.

Daneel is still glaring at me by the time Jay gets off the elevator.

"Hey," He says as he picks me up pretty much the same way Chris did. Well he seems happy to see me. But not quiet the warm welcome I was hoping for. He seems to be as drunk as the rest of them so I guess I should just be grateful he remembers who I am.

"Did you get the food Jen?" I believe he said his name was Riley asks.

"Yeah, yeah. sorry. I thought you guys would have let yourselves in by now." Jay responds as Chris opens the front door.

"We would have but we found a stray along the way." Daneel oh so helpfully says as they all walk past me and into Jay's apartment.

"Nice," I mutter under my breath

"She's ok I promise. Just a little prickly at first. Come on." He says taking my hand and leading me into his place. 

We spend about an hour laughing, drinking and eating some of the best take out food I've eaten in a long time. It's been nice getting to know more of Jay's friends. With the obvious exception of Daneel, who is still sending me evil looks every chance she gets and snarky comments when she could right up until the point they had to leave. I was sort of glad, it was starting to make me feel really uncomfortable. Like I was intruding on something. If it wasn't for the fact Jay seems to be friends with Riley who she appears to be in a relationship with I would start to question if something was going on. From what I know of Jay, I don't think that's something he would do to his friend or me if I'm honest, but I guess you never know. 

As soon as the last of his friends had left Jay picks me up and carries me into his bedroom.

"Well it's been fun spending time with you but the whole keeping things between us quiet was killing me. All I've wanted to do all night is take you in my arms and kiss you senseless" He says as he lays me down on the bed. He mustn't have realised his hands have been wondering all night. I sure as hell did and I'm fairly sure everyone else did too. Finally he kisses me the way we've both apparently been dying for since I landed on his door step. "I really needed this so much tonight. I've had such a shit day. How do you do that?" He says when we finally come up for air. He ends his question by bopping me on the nose. 

"Do what?" I ask laughing at how silly and drunk he is.

"Give me what I want, what I need." He explains as he flops back onto his bed next to me. I'm clever enough to figure out how tired he is and very much over slightly tipsy. I figure it's best to just get him into bed.

"Mmmmm, I really like it when you try to get me naked darlin'." He says slurring his words and giggling like a teenage school girl as I try to in fact remove his clothes.

"For fucks sake Jay can you at least help me out a little bit here. Your far to big and pissed for me to do this on my own." I laugh.

"That's what she said." He slurs with a smirk across his face. Fuck this man will be the death of me. It takes me about half an hour and a shit ton of hard work, on my own I might add, but I finally have the big idiot down to his boxers and under the covers. Jesus I've never had to put this much effort into getting a man naked in my life. It's a good job he's cute else I would have left his sorry ass on the sofa and had his huge bed to myself. I get myself washed and ready for bed, noticing seen as how it's nearly five in the morning how I've been up for about twenty six hours straight myself, well besides the cat nap on my suitcase. I climb under the covers and lie on my back trying to figure out if I should either curl up on the other side of the bed or curl up with him. I roll over facing the other side of the room. It isn't long before I feel him move behind me.

"Come here my gorgeous girl." He whispers in my ear as he pulls my body back against his. I fall asleep that night with a smile on my face and the arm of the sexiest man alive wrapped around me, after calling me his.
