Everlasting Love

everlasting love [13]

*SAMANTHA'S POV*

I was packing up my bags and waiting for my car to come pick me up to take me to the airport when my phone rang- it was one of my old friends here in New York that I was in Annie with when we were 7. "Hey Tabby, what's up?" I asked

"Have you left for Michigan yet?"

She was the first and only person I told about hearing that girl talking in the background when I was on the phone to JJ a couple of weeks ago. It's not that I don't trust JJ, I know he would never cheat on me. It was just hurting me that he never had time to answer any of my texts or phone calls but he had time to go to a party and be talking to other girls. Tabby could never understand a relationship- she wasn't a whore or anything. She knew what she wanted and she went after it. What she wanted was always something casual. She was still working on Broadway herself, she never left New York like I did so she definitely got sucked up into the whirlwind of this environment. She was the same age as me but she very much enjoyed going out for drinks with a lot of the older cast mates, she kept thin by skipping multiple meals a day and working out constantly. I was concerned for her and wanted her to come visit me in Wisconsin or even come with me now to Michigan- she could use a break from New York.

"No, not yet but the car should be here any second to get me. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering when my best friend won't be in the city for the weekend. But, then again I can always tell when you're not here when the critics are in tears that you won't be on stage to grace them with your beauty and talent."

"I can hear you rolling your eyes over the phone Tabby- cool it!"

"Oh you bitch Samantha! I love you, call me when you get there and text me when you're back home. We'll have to get brunch or something and you can tell me all about your hot sex with your amazing gorgeous boyfriend."

I just laughed and hung up, then the bell rang to my apartment and assumed that was the car.

*JJ's POV*

Samantha's plane should be landing any second, so I was waiting right outside the terminal for her holding onto a bouquet of flowers. The guys gave me hell about it, but I didn't care- it was the least I could do for her after this past month. I saw a crowd of people coming from the gates and began to look for a blonde head in the crowd of New York business men when I saw her and I might sound crazy, but it seemed like she moved in slow motion. There was something different about her though, she seemed like she was glowing and as if she was mature- like she was a totally accomplished person with her head straight on her shoulders for saying she was only a couple months shy of 18. I was glad and proud for her that she has found her calling in life.

She looked up from the ground, laid her blue eyes on me and started running in my direction- a smile broke out on my face and waited for her to finally reach me. When she did, she dropped her backpack on the floor and jumped into my arms. It felt so good to hold her again, I missed everything about it and hugging her even made me realize how many of those little details I missed. Everything from the softness of her hair wrapped in my fingers from the scent of vanilla and lavender on her skin.

"Hi baby." was all I can manage to say to her.

She didn't even answer me and was just hugging my neck but I didn't even care- we didn't need words for us to communicate with each other.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, this your humble abode huh?" she said while she put her suitcase down next to my tiny bed and then jumping on to it. "How on earth do you fit in this thing when you're as big as you are? I barely fit on here and I'm considered 'petite'. This must be torture!"

I climbed over on top of her and looked down at her face. "It's not too bad now that you're in it." I said while kissing her soft lips.

She laughed in between my kisses and reached up to touch my face.

"You my friend, are one big cheese ball- but I love it." She sat up a little bit in bed and deepened the kiss. I ran my hands over her shoulders and slipped the sweater she had off so she was only laying there in her tank top. I had missed having her around, but I definitely have missed being physical with her too. I started to kiss down her neck and she ran her pink painted nails down my back while whimpering in my ear. I could tell she missed this too, plus I could feel house tense she felt from all the stress she has been dealing with.

"I've missed you J." she said to me

And then I was mortified- my roommate Todd came busting in the room being his usual loud obnoxious self. Samantha shot up and banged her head into the bottom of my chin, clearly embarrassed as well.

"Oh, shit! I'm sorry JJ- totally forgot you were bringing your lady back today."

I took a breathe, rubbed my chin and managed to stand up next to Samantha.

"Yeah, you did man- I literally told you where I was going when I left this morning dude. Anyways, Samantha, this is my roommate Todd- Todd, this is my girlfriend Samantha."

"Echante mi amour!" he said while kissing her hand like an asshole and she just giggled.

"Well, nice try- that's two different languages but that's okay. I'm sure you mean well."

"Wow, you really are a sophisticated broad huh? JJ, how do I get me one of these? No offense, but she's even too beautiful for your goofy ass!" he turned to me and said.

"I'll take that as a compliment you douche." I replied.

"So you two gonna come out to that homecoming party tomorrow night? It's gonna be huge and basically the whole campus is gonna be there. So if you don't come- then you'll totally be the only two losers left here. Just sayin'. " Todd said to us as he was riffling through his dirty laundry trying to find a clean shirt.

Samantha looked up at me with a questioning look, "Well- I'll never actually be able to experience a college party so it might be fun?" She was sweet, I knew she didn't want me to miss out on any of the college life but I don't think she realizes that as long as I'm with her- I don't care what I am doing.

"Well, if you wanna go- I don't see why we shouldn't. Experience some college life for you. No drinking though, I wont allow it." She laughed at me and proceeded to tell me how she wouldn't dare drink beer and get a beer gut before going on stage next Tuesday.

"Alright, I guess we're coming with you Todd." and then my roommate got all excited and hugged me. I might as well enjoy it now because I know I won't be back here at Michigan come next semester.

Samantha looked up at me, hugged me and smiled. I kissed the top of her head and was glad to have her back in my arms for now.

Author's Note:

Sorry it took me so long to get this one up! I wasn't sure where to go with this one. But I wanted to get JJ and Samantha reconnected and back together before the next big chapter that's coming up!!

That should definitely be up before the end of tonight!
