Behind Closed Doors (Queen Of Hearts)

Chapter 2

I got up from my bed and started to get undress to take my shower. I got my towel and washcloth then headed to the shower. Joey had left and I was lonely. I mean I was lonely before Joey...but I am even lonely now. I opened the bathroom door and was hit with a gust of steam. I guess Joey took a shower before he left. I turned the water on letting the steam breath through the metal pipes.

I put the towel on the towel seat lid then got in. The steam didn't really bother me it was more of the pounding of the water that did. I felt a cold breeze shot up my spine. Then a hand touched my skin softly as the water gracefully touched my skin. I turned around and saw it was Joey standing there with a slight frown printed on his face. He had clothes on being careful not to fall in the shower. My face turned red but I am not sure why he has seen me naked before. I kissed him on the cheek softly he flinched a little this time. I backed away then turned around to continue washing up.

"I am sorry Jamie...I called out of work."

"Why? I told you to go to work Joey... you can't just call out like that."

"Julia broke up with me....she said she needed space."

"We can talk when I get out Joey. I promise, okay?"

"But Jamie I want to talk now."

"Joey please not now."

"I will wait....in here"

"Okay," I said rinsing the soap off of me. Joey sat on the toilet seat lid holding my towel on his lap. He kept a wondering eye waiting for me to finish up. I turned the water off then moved the shower screen. I  stepped out grabbing the the towel and wrapping it around me. Joey put his arm around my shoulder holding me close to him. Then he sat on my bed letting go of me so I could get dress.

"What are we Jamie? I couldn't stop thinking about you. But we are-"

"Remember not by blood Joey."

"I know, but how could we work?"

"I think your emotions are just up we can talk about it in the morning," I said getting dress and putting my towel up.

"Can I sleep in here?" Joey said wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Maybe if you buy pizza for us," I said smiling at him.

"Okay sure."

He took my phone from my nightstand and called the pizza place. Joey order a large half cheese and half Hawaiian pizza from Little Caesars. Once  he finished he sat my phone down and looked at me. I kissed him on the lips and then pulled away. Joey smiled and sat on my bed looking up at me. I laughed and grabbed my blanket then walked towards the living room. I wrapping up in the blanket laying on the couch. Joey came over frowning so I sat up looking up at him.

He sat down next to me still frowning,"Would you consider there being an us?"

"Joey."

"Hear me out Jamie. I know you want to talk tomorrow about it, but I can't wait. I know I am moving to London pretty so-"

"3 days."

"But we can make it work Jamie. Please this wasn't all of the sudden. I liked you for a year now and this feeling doesn't just go away. It stays no matter who I am with."

"Joey I need time to think...to consider everything. I promise I will tell you before you go to London."

"Okay Jamie."

He got up answering the door talking to the delivery boy. He held the pizza box and soda in his hands. I got up and took them from him then walking away placing them on the coffee table. I sat on the couch waiting for him to finish up his conversation. He finished and walked over to me placing his arm around me. He kissed me softly then he sat next to me rubbing my leg a little. I put a blanket over me and took a slice of pizza out of the box.

"Joey behave or else no room for you."

"But-"

"Joey please."

"I have to know. "

I shoved pizza in his mouth and smiled saying,"I do but I want to see if this is truly how I a feel. Okay?"

"Okay."

He poked me sitting the pizza done on the box and got under blanket. Joey held me close as we watched the movie. He seemed tired just a tiny bit, but he didn't try to show it. I lifted up off of him which made him give me a crazy look. I got up kissing him then grabbing the blanket off of him. I walked to my room holding my blanket and soon laying on my bed. Joey stood in the doorway crossing his arms.

"Come here please," I said getting up and walking towards him.

"What if mom and dad come home? What will they think?"

"Joey stop worrying please. Lets just go to sleep for now and worry in the morning."
