Baby I'm Amazed {Jimmy Fallon Romance}

Chapter 34

In the few months that followed everything was idyllically perfect. Beyond perfect. Jimmy was just the embodiment of a perfect guy. Seriously. There was nothing I would add or take away from him.

The only set back we faced was when Jimmy was in the apartment and he tripped over a rug in the kitchen and broke his finger in late June.  Which was terrifying. He was in the Belleview Hospital for 10 days and took a hiatus from the show. He went in for surgery and it was too much to handle.

I was still on my break from everything. Actually that's not true, I was still writing music for my new album and Demi and I sat down and wrote the song I wanted her to sing. It was everything I wanted it to be, magical and romantic.

I had fallen madly in love with New York. Everything about the city was magic. The people, the sights, the sounds. That was where I needed to be. Jimmy and I took a weekend where he showed me around and we did all the touristy stuff, with photos to prove it up online. 

It was mid-September, and I had been living in New York since June. Which meant that Jimmy and I had been together just over 5 months.

Jimmy was celebrating his 41st birthday on September 19th, so I went out with Marty to pick out his birthday gift.

Marty was walking close to me, making sure the paparazzi weren't getting too close and invasive. You'd think that because it had been literal months since the move that they would have laid off of the two of us. But you would be completely wrong.

"Maggie!" one of them shouted at me, "What do you say to people that think Jimmy made you move here and give up your career?"

"When did I let Jimmy make my decisions for me?" I asked him as I continued to walk down the sidewalk with Marty. 

"You moving here was a big one!" he shouted with a big laugh.

I rolled my eyes, "Don't even give them the time of day," Marty told me.

I shook my head, unable to keep my mouth shut, "Yup, it sure was. And it wasn't something that Jimmy told me to do. This is such an old topic, guys let's move on with our lives."

"Why have you let your career stall?" he asked me. I finally glanced over at him and saw that he was a couple feet behind me and Marty. 

"I didn't let it stall, I'm taking a break! I still have three new movies coming out. I wanted some me time. I wanted to see my family and enjoy my relationship with Jimmy. Is that okay with you?" I asked him with an edge to my voice. I knew if should have kept myself in check, but this felt like it was a never ending process.

"I'm not trying to cause a problem, Maggie! We just need some information!" he told me, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

"About what? That's what I'm not getting. Since everyone on the planet seems to know everything about my life that I don't, maybe you should be asking someone else instead of me. Because clearly I don't have any control over myself and my thoughts and decisions," I said as we stopped in front of the watch store I wanted to go in, "You know what? Maybe you should track down Jimmy since he's the boss of my life and all, so then you can get all the information you want, and you'll stop pestering me!" I said then walked through the open door that the security guard was holding for me and Marty.

"Feisty," Marty said once we were inside.

I let out a frustrated sigh and shook my head as a salesman began walking over to us, "It's just that it's been months, you know? They act like I've retired from doing things, like I don't have movies coming out. Like there's not an album on its way."
