Together Forever [Sequel to Dream Catcher]

Chapter Fourteen

How long has it been, minutes? Maybe it’s been days, or ever weeks? I had lost count of how long I had been since Cody and I slept together. I couldn’t get myself to do it again and actually he and I hadn’t touched much since. We’ve been home for how long? I think it’s almost time for him to go back on tour again, so it had to be maybe two or three weeks. That leaves, two days before he leaves for tour again. I let out a sigh, before stepping into the bathroom.

        “Hey, babe.” I said loud enough for him to hear me over the shower, “When will you be gone?”

        He poked his head out, “You can always join me.”

        “That’s okay. I already took one.” I lied.

        “Oh, what’s up then?” he asked.

        What did I really want? To talk, that’s what I wanted. I don’t think I could really get myself to talk to him about that night again. How would I tell him that it was all a mistake and I want to take it all back? I looked at him, soap running down his face. I smiled, shyly, “We need to talk.”

        “I’ll be out in a minute.” He replied with concern coating his voice.

        Before I could even leave the bathroom he already exited the shower. I felt guilt flood my body, as I looked at his amazing body. I quickly spun around and left the room. I nearly ran. Why was I so bothered by this? I’ve seen him naked before, wait no I didn’t. I didn’t actually get to see him, not in the way I had just seen him. I felt my face heat up as I thought of taking advantage of his naked body.

        “Are you okay babe?” he asked.

        I turned to look at him; he was worried. I stared into his eyes, to keep from looking down at his body still dripping wet. His gorgeous body lathered in water, his tone abdomen and what was under that towel. I was starting to feel nauseous, only before I could respond I was running to the bathroom and throwing up. I groan with each burst of vomit spilling from my body.

        “Baby, are you okay?” he asked, as he pull my hair from my face.

        I sighed, as I wiped my face clean. “I must have caught a bug.”

        “Why don’t you stay home today?” He replied, “I’ll go out and get you some soup and ginger ale, and you can stay here. I’ll tell the guys we’ll have the going away party tomorrow.”

        “Oh my god, I forgot all about the going away party, I’m so sorry.” I said, annoyed, “I ruined it for you guys.”

        He smiled, “No you didn’t we’ll just do it tomorrow.”

        He kissed my forehead before leaving the bathroom to get dressed. I couldn’t help but lean over and watch as he dropped the towel and got dressed. Why was I watching? I wanted to so badly be with him again, but at the same time, I couldn’t. I still had to tell him how horrible I felt after the first time and I didn’t want to hurt him.

        I felt the urge to throw up again, and I did. By the time I had finally stopped throwing up; Cody was back holding soup close to my face. I took a small whiff of it, and doubled over, puking into the toilet once more.

        “Take that away.” I choked out, when I had the chance.

        He frowned, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make it worse.”
