Crazy Love

Chapter 39

Jerome's POV

"Hi, Jerome!" a fan says excitedly as they walk up to me. She has dark brown hair and big white teeth. She smiles widely at me.

"Hey," I say.

"I love you, Jerome," she says in awe.

"Aw, thanks! Just don't say that around my wife." I wink.

"Speaking of your wife, how is she? Is she here?"

"No, she stayed home with Mitch's wife..." I think of Jenny and wonder where she is, what she's doing. If she and Lily are okay.

"Ah man. I was hoping to meet her. She's amazing!"

"I know, she is. That's kinda why I married her," I laugh.

"Yeah...Nice talking to you Jerome!" she says and takes off after she has me sign her shirt.

"Having fun?" Mitch says as he walks over to me.

"The fans are great. I'm just thinking a lot about Jenny and Lily..." I say.

"Yeah, same with me, thinking of Lilac. The fans are so nice!"

"I know. Here comes two," I say.

"Hi!!" says the darker blonde-ish haired girl who's hair is in a ponytail.

"Hi!" Mitch says.

"Mitch," the other says in awe. She has blonde, straight hair and glasses. She also has braces.

"Hi, Jerome!" the other says. She has a lot of enthusiasm. "I'm Mo, and this is Madi."

"Nice to meet you both!" Mitch and I say.

"Can we get a picture of the four of us?" the blonde says, pointing to her iPad.

"Sure!"

She turns on her iPad and gets on the camera. We all squeeze into the picture and take the picture.

"Thank you sooo much!" Madi says.

"Send it to me," Mo says to Madi.

"I will, I will. Thanks again!" We all exchange hugs. I just thinking of the gentleness that Jenny hugs me with, and how I feel to have her in my arms...

My phone suddenly starts vibrating. I check who it is. Jenny. Do I answer it? Am I supposed to? Do I answer it? What do I do?

I decide to answer it. It must be an emergency, I told her only to call during PAX hours if it's an emergency. I answer my phone. "Hello?"

"Jerome!" Jenny says.

"Is everything okay?" I ask, worried. I feel in the pit of my stomach that something's wrong.

"Kind of. Lily is sick, she just threw up."

"Jenny, babies throw up."

"No, she's been coughing too. What should I do?"

"I don't know, you're the 'doctor'."

"I called the doctor for an appointment and we have to go in tomorrow. I think we're good."

"Who's the 'we' that has to go in?"

"Lily and I," she says.

"Okay, thanks." Mitch tugs on my arm that holds the phone.

"I wanna talk to Lilac," he begs.

"Mitch wants to talk to Lilac," I say.

"Mitch wants to talk to Lilac, huh?" Jenny says, clearly trying to get Lilac's attention.

"Give me phone!" I hear Lilac say in the background.

"Give the phone to Mitch," Jenny says. I hand my phone to Mitch. I have fun with fans while he talks to Lilac somewhere.
