A Friendship Or More

The Past comes back

It had been a couple weeks sence the vacation. Norman and I were inseparable, as usual. The only thing was Norman was trying to pull away... I wasn't sure, on minute he was pulling me Close and holding me, telling me how beautiful I was. Then the next he was trying to be a good friend, and do none of them things. He was driving me nuts with the mixed signals.
Norman had been talking about a pool party at his house. I laughed when I heard about this, I was not about to wear a bikini around our friends. Norman smiled at me, telling me I was crazy. I told him Aruba had been different, those were people I'd never see again. Our friends at work, I'd see them everyay, untill the end of shooting. Again he smiled and pulled me in to a tight hug. Telling me I was the mostly beautiful, but also one of the most stubborn girls he had ever met. I laughed, still loving Norman's huggs.
Today we were at work, I was heading to find Norman, suprised he hadn't come and found me yet. I was looking around, for him as I walked. Then I saw him, and it didn't take me long to figure out why he hadn't come and found me. She was tall, brunette and half dressed, and he was smiling like an idiot. I sighed, as my phone went off.
'Hey sorry it's so late notice, I have a business lunch, but I promise you dinner' Norman's text read. I looked up to see him and the girl get in to his Jeep and drive off. I went to my car, I had been driving myself more recently, but still waking up early with Norman.I didn't bother to text him back. It hurt 'business lunch' ? At least have the balls to call it what it was. My phone went off again and I looked at it. Now it was Mingus, we had been in contact sence I went on vacation with them.
'How are things going?' He asked. I sighed. He had secretly been trying to get things between his father and I going. He'd talk to me then he'd take to him, I told him It would do no good, but he insisted.
'He's at a business lunch, with some tall, thin, half dressed brunette,' I answered. I wasn't even sure what I was doing in my car. I had no plans, I guessed I'd go find food. I started the car and left the parking lot. I found a small diner and ordered food. I sat alone and looked back at my phone.
'This her?' Mingus asked with picture sent next. Sure enough it was.
'Yeah,' I said. It made me sick, Mingus knew who she was. Just then I got a row of mad faces and a text saying he'd message me later. I sighed, again. Pushing the food around on my plate I wasn't hungry. I paid for my meal and left, in the car I smoked about half a dozen ciggarette's before I returned to set.
I went back to the make up trailor, and sat in my chair. There was plenty of time before anyone else would be back from lunch and I didn't know what else to do. I played on my phone untill everyone came back with no word back from Mingus. I sighed as everyone came in. Norman smiled as he walked up to my chair. I forced a weak one back. He pulled be around the chair and hugged me.
"Lunch sucked, I would have much rather eaten with you," he said kissing the side of my head. I wanted to call bull shit on him, but as if on que of the metion of food my stomach growled, reminding me I hadn't eaten. Norman looked at me, sad. "You didn't eat," he said. I wiggled away from him and started gathering my things. I turned to see him sitting and on his phone. I was instantly upset with him then my phone buzzed in my back packet and made me jump. By the chuckling Norman was doing, when I jumped I figured it was him. I pulled it out and read it.
'Don't be mad, I did miss you, Mrs. Grumpy' I looked at him shook my head.
"Why are you texting me?" I asked. Looking at Noman like he was a complete dork. He smiled.
"You weren't talking to me," he said plainly. I sighed.
"I didn't have anything to say," I said starting on his hair. Norman turned his head to look at me. "Sit still," I said. He grummbled.
"You didn't go to lunch?" He asked. I sighed.
"I did, I just wasn't hungry," I said lolwy, Andy was listening from his chair over, I could tell.
"Why?" He asked. I shook my head.
"I don't know, saw something unsettling before that," I said. It was true the girl with Norman had put me in a bit of a mood, with a slight sick feeling.
"Like what? Something dead?" He asked. I smiled.
"I wish," fell out of my mouth. I quickly turned to do something. I knew Norman and I were having two different conversations, but for me to wish someone I didn't even know dead. It made me question myself.
"Oh, what was it?" He asked turning back around to look at me.
"I said look farward," I turned Norman's head again.
"Mmh baby girl getting rought," he joked. Went back to his hair, I didn't want him calling me that, I didn't know what had happend at lunch but the girl he took, I assumed didn't have anything to do with work.
Eveyone left and I was left alone with my thoughts again. I picked up my phone to see Mingus had texted me. I read the text and put my phone away. Things weren't going well for me, I sighed. I started a plan in my head, I needed to tell Noman I wanted to start dating again. It had been a while sence Travis and I just felt like I was ready, aparently he was. I figured I would talk to him tonight.
By the time it was time to go though, Norman was texting me again. I looked at the phone in disbelief. He was telling me again, he had to do something for work. I sighed. I didn't text him back this time either. I gathered my things up and headed to my car. I sighed as I got in and my phone started riging. I looked down to see it was Norman. I pulled out of the parking lot and didn't bother to answer it. My heart was breaking again as I thought about what Mingus had said.
I decied to head home, but once I was there I didn't want to be there I looked at Mingus's text again. 'She's a model, tried to date my dad a while ago, but he was with someone'. The words hurt to see them right there in print. Norman tried to call my phone again. I put it down and decied I was going out, if Norman could be with someone, so could I. I showered again and went to get dressed, I heard my phone again, I picked it up seeing there were twenty missed calls from Norman, but this was Travis. I answered it.
"Hello?" I asked unsure if I had read the name right.
"Hey beautiful!" Travis sounded happy to hear my voice. I smiled, this is just what I needed, a distraction.
"It is you!" I said happily. I heard him kinda laugh.
"It is. So I have some news. I'm comming bsck to Georgia, got a part in a movie out there, and I was wondering if you were free to meet up and hang out," he told me. I smiled, I missed him, I missed being held by him and being kissed. All of the things Norman did, but with Travis it was different, we were a couple.
"Yeah, when?" I asked.
"What are you doing now?" He asked excited. I smiled.
"Nothing, I was going to go out, but that sounds way better," I said truthfully. I heard Travis chuckel.
"Awesome I'll be there in about an hour?" He asked. I smiled.
"Perfect," I said, hearing my phone beep. I looked to see it was Norman.
"Ok, see you then," Travis sounded excited.
"Ok, see you then," I agreed. We hung up. There was a pounding on my front door. I sighed. And in just a towel I know who it was. I went out and looked and of couse it was Norman. I opend the door.
"Yes?" I asked, still annoyed with him. He looked me up and down.
"Dam! How often do you answer the for like this?" He asked smiling. I shook my head.
"How many times have you seen me answer the door like this?" I asked. He frounded then smiled again.
"Just this once, but damn, I wouldn't mind if you did it more then that," he said still smiling. I rolled my eyes.
"What happend to you work stuff?" I asked annoyed still. He sighed.
"Baby girl, what's going on?" He sighed I started heading to my room. He fallowed.
"I'm going to throw some clothes on really quick," I said, avoiding his question. Norman sighed and pulled me in to a hug. I blushed.
"I'm assuming you saw her," he said lowly. I made a face.
"Who?" I asked. He pulled away and looked at me. He could read me.
"Her name is Claire," he said. I nodded. "Mingus said he saw stuff on the internet, but I'm assuming you two still talk, he really likes you," he said with a smile. I didn't answer that part. He nodded.
"Just let me put some clothes on then we can talk," I said lolwy, he nodded this time. I went in my room and found the black dress Noman had bought me, sure I probably shouldn't wear it on a date with Travis, but I didn't have anything else, and I really did like it. I came out and Norman looked me up and down.
"Your going out," he said lowly. I took a deep breath.
"Travis is in town and wanted to have dinner," I told him. "You were busy, with... I was free so I agreed," I said looking down. He sighed.
"I'm not datig her," he finnaly said. I sighed.
"Norman we aren't dating either, so don't feel like you owe me an explanation. I was actually going to talk to you tonight about that. I just feel like I'm ready to start dating again, I wasn't for a while after Travis, but I miss being in a relationship. I know we are just friends, but usualy we are inseparable so, I guess I just figured I'd tell you," I shrugged. Norman looked at me. I swore I saw hurt and betrayal in his eyes, but he nodded.
"Right, we are just friends," he said. I looked away I couldn't look at him. I didn't want to be just friends I wanted him to tell me no, that he did care, that I couldn't go out with Travis. I sighed though and pushed that away, as usual I know it would never happen.
"I have to get ready," I said lowly, heading tward the bathroom. Norman sighed.
"You are going to still come this weekend, right?" He asked, fallowing me.
"Ofcouse," I said. Playing with my hair. Norman watched. I put it up in a bun, and fought with little peices thay didn't want to stay in. He smiled comming behind me and turning me to look at him. He gently moved the peices that wouldn't say back to place around my face.
"I like the way they frame your face," he said lowly. I smiled. I wish I was going on a date with Norman. He kissed my cheek. "Alright, well I've already, taken way to long," he said looking around. I sighed taking in his appearance for the fist time. Button down black shit, nice jeans. He was going out. His hair was a mess though. I turned his face and fixed us hair.
"I like it when it's not in your eyes," I said. He smiled weakly. Then he pulled me in to a hug, it was tight, like he would never see me again.
"Have fun," he said lowly, I smiled just as weak.
"Yeah, you too," I said, he leaned in and kissed my head. Then looked at me like he wanted to say something. He didn't, turning and leaving quickly. I listend for the door, then the starting of his Jeep, ans he was gone. A few stray tears slipped from my eyes as I looked at myself in the mirror. I quickly wiped them away and started on my make up. I was just finishing up my make up when I heard the door. I quickly finished and went to get it. I opend the door to a huge bouquet of roses. I smiled, as Travis reveled himself from behind them.
"Hello, beautiful," he smiled hugging me I hugged him back.
"Hey," I said shyly. He smiled at me.
"I think you've gotten more beautiful sence I've been away," he smiled. I giggled, feeling like a dumb kid, kinda chuckled " and still just as shy as ever," he said I smiled more and blushed now.
"Come on, I'll get these in some water," I said lowly. He smiled as we went to get water for the flowers.
"I was suprised you were free," he said. I looked straight ahead, while filling the vase. I knew what he ment, I just didn't want to. "He used to be with you all the time, everything ok?" He asked. I sighed.
"Bussiness dinner," I said. Travis nodded.
"I've seen things on the internet, everyone thinks your dating. Are you?" He asked. I sighed. Setting the flowers down.
"No," I said lowly, I wasn't even sure if he heard me. Travis came over to me.
"Your still head over heels for him though arn't you?" He asked. I looked at him how did he know. He smiled. "Stephanie I've know, everyone has, forever. I'm pretty sure, we'll I was, thought that he felt the same way, I'm just not sure what's stopping you two," he finnaly said. I smiled weakly.
"We have talked about it, and it's just not going to happend," I said lowly choking back tears. Travis pulled me in to a hug.
"I'm sorry, hun," he said as he held me. I hugged him tighter, I missed his hugs I missed him, I missed being loved.
After that we left and Travis didn't bring up Norman again. We arived at a nice restaurant as usual, Travis spoiled me, and part of me wondered why I didn't just go with him to California when he had asked. I knew thought, I knew it was becuase of Norman. I knew I was trying to stay just incase Norman changed his mind. I also knew he never would, so I was dumb to stay. The night came to an end and Travis looked at me as we got in to his car.
"Steph, I know we broke up, but I just.. I miss you, and I thought maybe comming back to Georgia, I could try to convince you how much. If you weren't already seeing someone," he said. My breath cought in my throat. I knew Travis, he was one of the sweetest most amazing men I knew. I wanted to be with him, and I knew Norman was with Claire. I smiled.
"I don't know if we can just pick up where we left off, but I would like to get to know you again," I smiled. Travis smiled back at me.
"Does that mean you won't come see my new place?" He asked, shyly. I looked at him. Travis was never one to just try to sleep with me, I knew that. I smiled.
"I'll come visit with you," I smiled. He did too.
We went to Tavis's new place and it was really nice. We talked for hours, untill my phone buzzed me back to reality. I lost my smile as I looked at the attachment Mingus had sent me. It read.
'WALKING DEAD STAR FINDS NEW LOVE'
My heart broke. The media had found out about Norman's new girlfriend. I blinked away tears, as I read his next message.
'Dad said you said you wanted to start dating' I sighed.
'I did' I answered. It didn't take long for Mingus to answer me.
'I don't blame you. He's taking forever, and I'm not ok with his new girlfriend' Mingus said. I sighed and looked back up to Travis. He was looking at his own phone and then up at me.
"Bad news?" He asked. I sighed, and shook my head.
"No, just the inevitable," I said as I quickly answered Mingus. Travis was quick to pull me close and hold me. I smiled I liked being in his arms. He was a safe place, when I couldn't be home, in Noman's arms. It hit me then how much I wanted to be loved. I looked up to him and slowly kissed him. He kissed me back, but pulled away.
"Your hurting," he said. I smiled.
"Just this once," I begged. He sighed, looking away.
"What if you don't feel the same in the morning?" He asked. I looked at him pulling his face back to mine.
"I have missed you and we are starting over," I tried to make a point. He looked at me a long moment.
"I'll just hold you," he said. I sighed, feeling rejected again.
"Please?!" I begged I wanted the hurt to stop. He looked at me a long time. Then he leaned in and kissed me the way I had been wanting for so long. The night was a mess of sheets and skin, as Travis filled the whole in my heart.
I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing. I got up to look for it. I found it on the tv stand in Travis's room. I looked to see the picture of me and Norman. I set the phone down as I looked up to see Travis smiling at me. I looked around for my dress.
"I don't know how you feel this morning, but I'm still a very lucky man," he smiled. I smiled walking back to him and kissing him I only felt guilty when I saw Norman on my phone. I didn't do one night stands or something causal, but it was Travis. He had said he wanted to try again, so the sex was inevitable.
"I regret nothing," I smiled kissing him again. He smiled pulling me in to his arms.
"You have to go to work don't you?" He asked. I smiled up at him.
"Yeah," I said lowly, losing my smile. He sighed and smiled.
"Alright beautiful let's get you home," he said. We dressed and he took me home. We were having a great time untill we pulled up to my apartment. My heart sunk as I saw the Jeep and a very angry Norman passing back and forth infront of the door. I looked at Travis who nodded.
"I'll let you two talk," he said. I nodded, he kissed my cheek and I got out of the car. Norman eyed the car and Travis.
"You spent the night with him?!" He growled at me as I walked to the door, I knew he would fallow. I had also never seen him this pissed off.
"You blew me off for lunch and dinner," I said, still upset.
"I didn't fuck her!" He yelled. I looked around.
"Keep your voice down!" I hissed. He eyed me, I could see how pissed he was.
"You fuck him!?" He asked getting to the point. I fumbled with my keys to get inside, he was making a huge scene at five am.
"Get inside!" I growled. He walked in ahead of me passing back and forth. I shut the door.
"You fuckin slep with him didn't you?!" Norman demanded once the door was shut. I shut my eyes I couldn't look at him.
"Norman," I said lowly. I heard him exhale sharply. I opend my eyes. He shook his head. I felt like shit. "He wants to get back together," I finnaly said. Norman was lighting a ciggarette.
"So your moving to California with him?" He snapped. I rolled my eyes.
"No, I'm not. He's back in Georgia, shooting a movie, but seriously Norman, we aren't going anywhere, and I want soemthing," I finnaly broke, telling him how I felt. He lost all anger out of his eyes.
"Stephanie," he said. I looked at him waiting. He decied what he was going to say wasn't important, I guess because he smiled at me. "Your still single right?" He asked. I smiled.
"Yes," I said. He smiled more.
"Then get that cute little ass of yours in gear and let's go," he said turning me tward my room and spanking my ass. I was suprised.
"Norman!" I squeeled. He chuckled.
"Hurry up before I show you how to.take a shower," he whispered in my ear. He got me, every time. When he was close my body ached for him. He kissed my neck gently and swatted my button ahain. I giggled and ran to the shower.
The day was just like any other day, Norman glued himself to me, and I wasn't sure what had happend. Was it because of Travis? I would be mad if it was, becuase it was fine for him to ditch me for Claire, but it wasn't ok form me to go hang out with Travis? Norman was sure to tell me to tell, 'what's his name' that I was unavailable for the night. So when Travis texted I told him. He was easy going about it as usual and told me he hoped I had fun.
The rest of the week went just like that, so getting time in with Travis was hard. Norman was in no mood to share, and when I did go out with Travis, Norman was like a guard dog passing me off. I kinda felt like Bella from 'Twilight'. When I told this to Norman he asked me wich one was Bella's boyfriend, and wich one he reminded me of. I shook my head. In all reality, if I was Bella he was my Edward, but I just giggled at him. Never answering that question.
By Saturday I was more then happy to spend the day with Just Norman, and of couse our friends. I had asked him if Claire was comming and he said they really weren't talking anymore. I was suprised by his answer, but liked it at the same time. I show up around my normal time on Saturday, figuring, Norman planned to drink I would need a ride home. He insisted to come get me, but I knew him too well for that. I walked in and he eyed me up and down.
"You really didn't wear a bathing suit did you?" He asked looking at my black Jean shorts and my white and black tank top. I rolled my eyes.
I told you I wasn't," I said walking passed him. He spanked my ass, and chuckled. "Reedus!" I yelled. He laughed harder pulling me in to a hug.
"Still single?" He asked. I eyed him.
"Yeah, don't worry I won't make any life changing decisions with out you," I kinda laughed. He smiled.
"Good," he said kissing my head and holding me still. I hugged him back. Norman's arm's were still my home.
The morning passed by quickly and soon everyone from work was there. I wasn't a fan of big crowd's, so I made myself useful in the kitchen. Making sure sacks and drinks were always on hand. Norman of course found my hiding spot and with beer in hand came behind me at the counter.
"Are you hiding?" he asked, his hands on my hips and his face in my neck. I giggled as his scruff ticked me.
"I'm making sure we don't run out of food," I said still giggling. He chuckled kissing my neck. "Norman," I said warnning.
"He gets to," Norman said. I sighed I knew he ment Travis, and he wasn't wrong, Tavis and I weren't offical, but he had kinds become another Norman. Not that would ever take Norman's spot, but we flirted all the time and he did still kiss me.
"Friends don't," I said stressing the word friends. Norman ignored me and kissed my neck a few more times. I smiled I couldn't stop him, I really wouldn't, and he knew it.
"You two need a room?" Andy asked. I looked over trying to push Norman off, ofcouse he was stuck, like a fly in honey.
"Yeah, ya mind just telling everyone I had something to do, should be back in an hour," Norman said pulling me away from the counter.
"Not!" I said kinda laughing. He kissed the side of my head.
"Bet I'm better then what's his name," Norman whispired in ny ear. I looked at him.
"Yeah, no one will notice you two are gone, or hear anything," Andy laughed. I made a face looking at Andy.
"Hear anything?" I asked. He laughed.
"I've spend many years hanging out with Norman and had many hotel rooms too close to him," he laughed. I looked at Norman eyebrows raised. He smiled.
"I think I can make you scream," he finnaly said, cocky. I laughed.
"Never know will you, " I finnaly said, as if daring him. He smiled more.
"That's it!" He picked me up over his shoulder. I squeeled and giggled.
"I'll be back," he said as we started walking. Andy laughed and said he'd see us in an hour. I laughed and was finally set down on Norman's bed, he had kicked the door shut on his way in.
"What do you think your doing?" I asked smiling. He came closer to me. Sitting beside me and then pulling me on his lap.
"I'm going to show you who's better," he said laying me down and strattling my hips.
"Norman!" I said warnning. He leaned in and kissed my breath right out of me. We parted breathing heavy and I looked up at him. Was he seriously going to just go ahead? "You have a house full of people!"I reminded him trying to figure something out. He smiled.
"Does an audience scare you?" He asked kissing at my neck.
"Your dunk!" I said trying again.
"And not being responsible," he laughed, then looked up at me. "Tell me no, look at me and say 'Norman No'" he said. I looked at him. I didn't want to, I also wanted this to be soemthing it wasnt. I sighed.
"Norman, you know how to make this happen," I finnaly said. I wanted to throw in the part where it would never happen because I wasn't good enough, but I didn't. He sighed.
"He gets to," he growled getting off me. I sighed.
"No, it was once, I was just lonley," I shrugged, not that was a good excuse or anything. He looked at me.
"You mean you were mad at me," he finnaly said. I made a face.
"OK that too," I agreed. He sighed. "But it's not like it was some random guy, he and I have dated, and he wants to get back together," I said again. Norman looked at me.
"So what's stopping you?" He asked. I looked at him.
"Nothing," I lied, but I knew it was and so did he. He nodded.
"I see," he said. We both knew I was waiting for him. I also knew I'd be waiting forever. Norman suddenly fell over and pulled me with him, I giggled laying on his chest.
"I say you and I take a nap, and to hell with everyone else," he said, pulling me closer. I laughed.
"I don't think that's how it works," I said. He grummbled.
"It does if you agree," he chuckled. I laughed again.
"Later," I said sitting up, because I knew he'd never get up unless I got up fist. He sat up and pulled me back to him. I looked up at him. He leaned in and kissed me. It was slow it was sweet and it was amazing as usual with him. I looked at him lost when we parted. He smiled.
"Bet he can't do that, " Norman said. I looked at him lost still. Then it hit me he was talking about Travis. I was a little annoyed with that question, so I did something out of my mind. I climbed on to his lap and kissed him. His hands went to my hips, and mine tangled in his hair. The harder I kissed him the tighter his grip on my hips got, untill he was pushing me against his exctment. We parted and I looked down at him breathing heavily.
"Can the other girls do that?" I asked getting off him. I didn't want answer. I wanted him to know the answer to his own question. No, no one could make me feel the way he did. Norman fallowed me out with out another word about it.
The hours flew by and soon everyone had left. Norman and I were in the kitchen cleaning up. OK I was cleaning up, he was still drinking and making sexual comments to me. I had decied to ignore him as I finished putting the food away, but that's when he cought me.holding me from behind. Then he felt the need to pull my hips in to him
"I could bed you over the table" he laughed. I could tell he was drunk. I shook my head.
"I think you need to stop drinking and go to bed," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him tward his room.
"Desert is supose to be a eaten in the kitchen!" He said smiling at me. "Bet you'd look really good covered in whip cream," he laughed again. "With a nice cherry on top," he licked his lips. I rolled my eyes.
"How much have you had to drink?" I asked, he had never been this forward with his comments. He laughed.
"I ran outta beer a while ago and switched to jack, so I don't know," he smiled as we reached his room. "If you insist, I guess I can eat in bed," he smiled trying to get me to his bed. I laughed.
"Or you can be a good boy and just go to bed," I said. Norman looked at me like I was nuts. I sighed.
"Why? Your so beautiful, and I'm pretty sure you like me," he laughed leaning in to kiss me. I rolled my eyes, but I let his one hand hold the side of my face and he kissed me gently while the other one started on my lower back and moved up tward my bra. I pulled away as I felt him trying to understand clasp it.
"Norman!" He yelled. He laughed.
"Come on, you know you can't keep a them clothes on," he said moving tward me again. I sighed.
"I'm not taking my clothes off," I said, he made a face.
"Then how are we.." I cut him off.
"We aren't, you are going to bed and I'm gonna home," I said sturnly. He growled.
"Never let me have any fun," he said taking off his shirt as he headed to his bed. I sighed.
"Reedus your drunk," I said. He looked at me as he undid his belt and smiled.
"I still know how to make you scream," he said as his pants came off and I turned away.
"Good night Norman!" I yelled as I walked out if the room. I heard him laugh.
"Get back here!" He yelled. I giggled
"Good night!" I yelled again, as I made my way to the front door and made sure all the lights were off, as I set the alarm. I went to my car and my phone went off. I answered it.
"Yes?" I asked Norman
"Do you know what you did?" He asked. I got in my car.
"No what?" I asked, really not sure.
"Come back in and I'll show you," he said. I was very skeptical about wanting to know that answer.
"If this had anything to do with your.... Area," I said not knowing what to call it. " I don't think so," I said. He laughed.
"My area?" He asked still laughing. I waited.
"Does it?" I asked. He laughed.
"What's my area?" He asked. I shook my head.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about," I said feeling a little embarrassed talking a out his manhood.
"No I really don't, " Norman said. Exhaled sharply. "You mean my dick?" He asked bluntly. I couldn't answere. He laughed. "Yeah, that's what your talking about. Yeah, that's the part on me you broke, as usual. You just know how to get me going," he growled. I tried to think, I really couldn't though with Norman telling me I turned him on.
"Go to bed," I finnaly said horsely. He kinda chuckled.
"Come back and sleep with me," he said. I sighed.
"I'm not comming back in," I said he growled.
"Fine go sleep with the other one," he said upset. I sighed. He hurt me and he knew how to do I to.
"Norman I'm sorry I did once! You can't tell me you haven't slept with anyone sence we'very been talking. He wants a relationship, I want a relationship. I'm sorry you don't want that. I can't change your mind," I finnaly snapped. Norman was quiet." I know you drunk, and I know your not yourself right now, but that doesn't give you the rights to throw him up in my face. Now I'll see you romorrow, good night," I said, hanging up on him and not giving him a change to answer me. I drove home upset. I was so mad at him for acting like this. He didn't just get to throw Travis up evey time things didn't go his way. I didn't throw Claire, or Kate, or anyone else he had been with.
I got home to my phone going off I looked to see the text was from Norman.
"Good night, I'll be your wake up call' it said with a few kissy face emojis. I smiled even when he could be a dick, he was still the sweetest man in the world. I went inside and texted him back.
'I wouldn't have it any other way' kissy face emoji. I sent before I changed and went to bed.

I sighed shaking my head as I turned on the tv and looked for soothing to watch.
