We watched tv all night and fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up he was laying on the couch, while I was laying with my head on his chest. I hurried to the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair. By the time I got out of the bathroom Jerry was awake. He was in the kitchen. 📺📺📺📺
I walked in the kitchen slowly to see what he was doing.😞😞
There were pancakes🥞🥞, bacon🥓🥓, and eggs🥚🥚. Jerry caught me sneaking in.
Jerry~ "Come in and eat."😃😃😃
I came in, sat at the table and began to eat. Jerry walked to the table with two plates in his hand.
Jerry~ "I set up an appointment for your therapist."😁
Nichole~ "What therapist?"😢
Jerry~ "Come on Nichole stop playing. Yesterday you said you will go to a therapist. So I made you an appointment."
Nichole~ "I didn't know you were for real."😭😭😭
Jerry~ "Its today at...."
Nichole~ "Today?"🤢🤢🤢
Jerry~ "Yeah at 2pm."
I pouted. Jerry was really serious about a therapist. Maybe I can just run back to the hotel and hide. Maybe if he loved me enough, all I have to do is cry, then he won't make me go🤧. This plan will not work. First of all what do I look like running 3 miles.
Nichole~ "So when we were texting...."
I tried to change the subject.
Nichole~ "Did you ever think that I would come here?" [Said while cutting a pancake]
Jerry~ "No. I thought I was going to have to come to you. "[eating bacon]🥓🥓🥓
The way Jerry looked up at me after got done talking made me forget we were having a conversation.
Nichole~ "Aaaaaa."
Nichole~ "Well how did you know to come to IHOP?"
Jerry~ "Your friend Melissa told me to come there to surprise you."
Nichole~ "Oh, Ok."
My phone rung it was Melissa.
Nichole~ "Hello?"
Melissa~ "Where are You?"
Nichole~ "At Jerry's house. Don't wait up I'm going to a therapist at 2."
Melissa~ "A therapist?"😯
Nichole~ "That's what I said."
Jerry got up to clean the dishes.
Melissa~ "Well when are you coming back to the Hotel?"
Nichole~ "I'm not sure."
Melissa~ "Have fun."
Melissa hung up. I sat reading all 23 messages Melissa sent me.
