"Can you come pick me up please."
"Uh.. yeah of course. I'll be there soon."
"Thanks." Call ended.
I rush out to my car and drive as quick as I can down the road. As soon as I get there I walk to the doors as quickly as I can. There's already someone waiting to talk to me. At least I think.
"Mrs. Noel?" The man asks.
"Yes." I breath, nodding my head.
"Alright. I'll send him out." I nod again and the man disappears down the long hall. Holy shit. I lean against the wall and look at my phone. 6:43. Pump must be doing the deal still. I almost don't notice Jahseh walking to me, I'm so concentrated on the time.
"Thanks for coming." He mumbles avoiding eye contact.
"Yeah, no problem." I say, leading him out the doors to the car. We get into the car and keep silent for the next few minutes. "How'd you get out?"
I glance over at Jahseh but he just shrugs. It's my fault.
"Jahseh please." I whine. I can see him staring at me out of the corner of my eye but, after a minute he gives up and looks away.
"You said you'd come back." He whispers after a while.
"I know. I couldn't."
I stop the car and we get out. This time I follow him to the house. He throws his bag on the ground and looks around. I shut the door and go to the kitchen. I didn't eat supper and I was starting to feel starved. I rummage around in the fridge for a minute before I find a pre made smoothie and an apple. I set them on the island behind me and close the fridge door.
"Why couldn't you?" Jahseh says, staring at me from across the island.
"I just couldn't." I snap. Jahseh moves closer to me, so he's only a foot away. I could touch him. After all this time.
"Why the fuck couldn't you?!" He shouts.
"You left me! And what the fuck did you think I would do?! You're the only fucking person I care about Jahseh! I need you! You promised after the first time." I yell back, moving closer to him. "You promised." I whisper, staring up into his eyes. He stares back a couple seconds, then smashes his lips into mine, hard. His hands cup my face, bringing me closer and closer. Our lips move together perfectly, like they're connected. I move my hands to his shoulders and grip them slightly. He softens the kiss and slows down until our lips aren't even moving anymore. He slowly pulls away and places his forehead against mine, still holding my face. I can hear his heavy breathing and my ears start ringing. How wrong was that? He moves back and looks into my eyes, shaking his head.
"Fuck I'm sorry. Probably horny cause I've been locked up so long. I didn't mean to, I'm sorry." He says, walking away. I grab the smoothie and apple off the counter and throw them back in the fridge. I ain't hungry no more.
+~+~+~+
I've been hiding out in my room the past hour or so, half sleeping. I really dont want to talk to Jahseh and no one else is here. I don't know if Jahseh is even here. I don't know. I scroll through Facebook on my phone but, nothing's new. Same old shit. Pictures of Pipe and Geneva are all over.
There's a knock at the door, so I through my phone down.
"Come in." I say, sitting up.
"Hey." Jahseh mutters as he opens the door and walks in.
"Hey." I watch him carefully. He shuts the door and slowly approaches my bed, sitting on the end of it.
"Some of the guys want to celebrate me getting out, so they're coming over." He says, not even looking at me.
