One Promise Too Late

Chapter 13

As She Walked In The Room

Mick arrived home the next morning at 6:00 a.m. He noticed the unclean dishes in the sink on the way through the kitchen. He found that odd. The house was always clean before she went to bed. He shrugged it off and made his way up the stairs into the bedroom. He slid open the door and crept to the closet trying not to disturb his sleeping wife. He tripped on a pile of clothes on the way to his side of the closet. "Why the hell did she buy so much bras and underwear the other day?" He wondered to himself. He got into his pajamas then slipped in bed.

The next morning Stevie heard Mick getting out of bed. "Where are you going?" She asked. 

"Just going to the studio. You go back to sleep."  

He got up and left the room. After he had got dressed and grabbed a bowl of cereal downstairs he put on his shoes and was ready to leave when he heard her coming down the stairs. "Wait! I wanna come." She exclaimed. 

"You WANT to come?"  

She never wanted to come to the studio! He thought she hated sitting on the couch all day. At least that's what she told him. "Yeah." She said. 

"Woah, you're a little dressed up just for the studio." He joked. 

She ignored his reaction to her attempt to impress Lindsey and walked out the door to the car. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." He said following her.  

"Hey, are you wearing your new underwear?" 

"What?" She asked.  

"I nearly killed myself tripping over a pile of your underwear last night! I just thought they were new, I've never seen them before." 

"Oh yeah, I got them when I was out with Chris the other day. My old ones were getting too small so I bought new ones." 

'"Oh." He said.  

He still couldn't figure out why she wanted to come to work with him today.

When they got to the studio Mick went out back to set up his drums with John. As soon as he left the room Stevie ran up to Lindsey tuning his guitar and kissed him hard on the lips. "I missed you." He said.  

"It's only been 14 hours." 

"I know, 14 hours too long." 

She laughed. "I missed you too." 

She kissed him again before they heard someone coming down the hall. She walked over to the couch and sat down not breaking her gaze. "Hey Linds, we're ready when you are, mate." John said.  

He nodded and stood up taking his guitar with him. For Stevie and Lindsey the rest of the day was spent by sneaking around the studio stealing kisses and naughty grins.
