Lovesick for Jai Courtney

Part #13: chapter thirteen.

"When do you go?! Why do you have to go?!" I whine. It's been a week since Jai and I started going out. "Tomorrow, babe. I just have to go for a week, to some final shooting for Suicide Squad, than I'll be here until the premier and press tours" he reassures me for the third time.

It's been three weeks since we started going out. Ruby went two weeks ago to do the fourth season of Orange is the new Black. It's 5:30pm and I didn't want him to leave this soon.

Jai sits on the couch while I slouch on his lap so my head is against his chest as I can hear his heartbeat which is almost in sync with his breathing. My hands are a lock behind his back. He may seem like a tough cookie, but once you get to know him he's like a giant teddy bear, but he likes to use the term "tough teddy."

The door bell rang, signalling that the pizza guy had arrived with our Hawaiian pizza. Neither of us move, "Jai, doors for you." I say not moving. "If you want me to get the door, you have to get off of me first", he states the truth of the facts. I melted off of me and onto the arm of the couch. "ONE MOMEMT!" I shout to the pizza guy, "Jai, doors for you," I repeat myself towards Jai.

He gets himself up, attending to the pizza guy. He comes back into the lounge to see me watching the news, with the commercials come on ½ a minute after he walked in. "You're stomach looks so tight, and hungry. Come and eat pizza with me on the floor as we watch the news and show interest in what is going on in the world." He says as he tries to impersonate Romeo. "Okay, just don't do any more Shakespeare, please. I beg you to not do  Shakespeare again, please."

We eat our delicious pizza as we pay attention to what disastrous mess the people of this planet has done. The last of the 50 dead people in the Orlando gay strop club have been named, while Donald Trump has been to his ways of trying to disgraceful to Mexico with the whole thing about building the wall on the border which is with Mexico. The news reporters then talk about the house prices in Auckland, and what the government has done now to "solve" the problem which really hasn't. With the sports reporter speaking about the rugby season, Lydia Ko, Valerie Adams, and Rally cars.

After Jai eats his last piece, we clean up, putting the last 3 pieces in the fridge and placing the pizza box in the outside bin. I come in to find Jai sitting in the same spot before the pizza guy arrived, as I sit on the opposite of the couch to him. He comes over picking me up and placing me on his lap, engulfing me in one of his well known bear hugs, my ear being placed where his heart is.

"What's wrong? And don't say it's nothing and that you're fine, when it's clearly nothing and you're not fine. That was the least amount of pizza I've ever seen you eat. What's on your mind?" He says, knowing me too well. "I'm just going to miss you, that's all," I truthfully say. "I know, I'm gonna miss you also, but it's just a week, that's all." He says, rubbing my back. We just stay like that for the next couple of minutes.
