Spinning around again

Chapter 21

After i came home from work, I found the house completely empty. It was like no one had been all day. All the lights where out and the place looked the same as it did before if left at 9 this morning. I shrugged and switched on all the lights, then I went a changed into something comfortable and made myself some soup for dinner. I sat down and called Jack. Who answered on the 6th ring.
"Hey?" He said
"I just came home. Where are you?" I asked
"Oh. Sorry about that me and Kate decided to go out today. We'll be back soon."
"Oh, ok. Well um bye then."
And without even saying goodbye he hung up.
"Love you too." I whispered
I got up and dumped my soup into the bin not in the mood, grabbed the jaffacakes as that's what I'd been craving and went to shower munching on them as I went upstairs. I showered for a long while and then tiredly climbed into my pj and climbed into bed still munching. I sent Jack a text telling him to be quite when he got in because I was going to bed.  He didn't reply so I rolled over and went to sleep.

"Elsa, sweetie." Someone said shaking me softly
I yawned and rolled over sleepily
"You've got to eat babe." Jack whispered
"But I'm not hungry." I moaned
He chuckled softly
"But I bet the baby is isn't he?"
I thought about this for a second and nodded sitting up slowly. Jack had brought me a tray of food with a glass of water. He put the tray down on my lap and turned on the little light by my bed. Then sat down next to me on the bed leaning on the head rest watching me eat.
" where were you?" I asked between sips of water
"Shopping, don't worry. Sweetie." He replied kissing my hand
I giggled and finished the sandwich putting the tray on the floor and rolling over to look at Jack.
"Your in a good mood." I muttered sleepily
"Yes well done," he replied pinching my nose gently
I swished my eyes and pretended to pout.
"Better then yesterday?" I asked
"Yes dear, now finish your water, brush your teeth, kiss me and go to sleep again." Jack ordered
I mused this for a second.
"Can't I kiss you without brushing my teeth?" I said sounding like a baby
Jack thought about this
"Going on." Jack decided and leaned down
Our lips met for the first time in a long time. He reached out and cupped my face gently pulling me closer to him. When we pulled apart he pulled a face.
"Nope."He mumbled "go brush your teeth!" He said joking
I pouted and threw a pillow at his head, jumped of the bed and brushed my teeth. When I came back Jack was laying on the bed with out a top on smiling.
"Your a meanie." I muttered climbing back into bed then I leaned over and kissed him softly and then rolled back over switch off the light and curled up.
"You don't have to be jealous about Gavin." I muttered with a yawn
"Do you love me?" Jack asked cuddling up to me
I nodded half a sleep.
"I love you too." Jack whispered kissing my neck
For first time in weeks I went to sleep smiling.

Saturday. The day I'd been dreading. I got up and showered then climbed into some clothes. It was beginning to get cold outside as it was almost December so I decided to wear some blue jeans a lose blue top with a brown knitted jumper over the top. I couldn't be asked to style my hair today so instead I pulled on my blue beanie and some bracelets and a bat man necklace. I brushed my face with some light makeup and pulled on my blue doctor martins. I looked like a pregnant teenager. It was kind of strange. I mean I'm almost 26 but I looked about 14. Ug. I went downstairs to find Kate making pancakes. She was wearing a coral dress with her little blue apron on. Her brown hair tied back.
"Never seen that dress before. Who's the special person?" I asked sitting down
Kate blushed bright red and mumbled something I didn't catch.
"Who?" I asked
"Anna." She whispered blushing again
I couldn't help but laugh, I'd been correct
"Does she know?" I asked
She didn't answer instead she fired me with a different question.
"Have you told Jack about this plan of yours?"
"Not yet I will when I see him."
Jack walked in with a towel around his waist, hair still wet from showering. And oh Lordy, he looked good.
"That's a sight enough to make anyone sick!" Kate muttered and left the kitchen giggling with the stack of pancakes in her hand
" I don't think so." I mumbled and jumped up
I ran my fingers gently up and down his six pack watching his eyes.
"Don't you?" He muttered kissing my forehead "So what do you need to tell me?"
"I want to tell you about my job plan." I replied
Jack picked me up like I weighed nothing and plopped me down on the kitchen counter.
"Go on." He said
"I want to start my own business. Making and sell clothing and art."
Jack thought about this for a second
"I'm being you ever step of the way but can I ask why?"
I bit my lip.
"Well you don't have a job and we have a baby on the way. I needed to do something." I muttered looking at the ground
Jack lifted my face up slowly making me look him in the eye.
"Then we'll do it together ok?" He said
I smiled and nodded
"Now slave make me breakfast." I announced giggling
Jack saluted
"Yes ma'am."
Maybe today won't be so bad after all.
