Falling Asleep On A Stranger

Chapter 12

A/N: First of all, my most sincere apologies for being a day late with this update. I went out on vacation this weekend and ended up getting two hours of sleep before school yesterday which ended up in me falling asleep for the whole afternoon yesterday. I am sorry! Today I'm uploading hoping no one will hate me! /.\

Second, I'd love if anyone who is reading this will please share my story with their friends. It would be so amazing of you to help me get reads.

**Third and last so you can get reading. I am going to start uploading a second story that I'm working on. It's an ALAN ASHBY fanfiction and it will be uploaded as it is being written. I've never uploaded like that before so I may be asking for suggestions as I go along, and it would be amazing if all you lovely people would help me get reads. Thank you.

Tony:

 

It was finally time to go home after a day of guy time. I began to take all my belongings off from the bus and pack them in my car. Damn, I missed home. As soon as I was packed I went back inside the bus to say goodbye to everyone. “Hey Tone. You leaving so soon?” Mike looked up from his and Jaime’s game of Black Jack. “Yeah man, I still haven’t gotten any sleep so I thought I’d check in early.” He nodded. “Sounds good. We’ll see you on Saturday then. Vic and I will get drinks for the barbecue. Just  make sure your place is ready. We’ll be there at around eleven.” He stood to give me hug. “Alright, sounds like a plan. It was a good tour man. I’m going to miss your scrawny ass waking me up every morning.” He laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to drop by your house sometime and keep up the habit.” I laughed and hugged Jaime and Vic, saying my goodbyes, then walked to my car. I connected my phone to my car and dialed Jaxin’s number as I started to pull out of the parking lot.

 

Jaxin answered on the fourth ring. “TURTLE!!” he shouted into the phone and I could hear it through the speakers in my car. “What’s up Kiwi? Just checking in to tell you I’m back and on my way home.” I could hear him yell in triumph at my return. “Great! I’ve missed you man!” “So have I dude. How’s Nat and baby Hall?” “Perfect! She’s due in about two weeks! I’m stoked to meet my kid!” Jaxin and his wife Natalie were expecting a child but they had decided not to learn what gender their baby was going to be. I laughed at Jaxin. “Yeah man, I’m excited to meet your kid too. You’re going to be the best father, and he or she is going to have a bad ass uncle!” “Oh you mean, Jaime.” He said laughing. “Dick!” I said joining into the laughter. “I love you too turtle.” “Anyway, the guys and I are going to have a barbecue at my place on Saturday. Think you and Nat can make it?” “Consider it done, Tone.” “Alright great, there’s someone I want you to meet.” “Oh new friends, awesome!” I continued to tell him about last night, including Steph and my break up, as I drove home. I pulled into my drive way and sat in my car, still talking to Jaxin. “Damn man. Well I’m happy for you, but be careful alright?” “Yeah, I got the same answer from Jaime.” I said laughing. “Well I can’t wait to meet her. I’ll see you on Saturday turtle. My lady awaits me for dinner.” “Alright kiwi. Tell Nat I send my love to her and the baby.” “Will do. Bye!” “Bye!” I turned off my car and stepped out.

 

It took me about an hour to unpack my car and bags. I threw in a load of laundry into the washing machine and turned on the TV in the living room. I put in Star Wars: A New Hope in the DVD player and lied down on the couch. My eyes grew heavy and before I knew it, I was asleep.

 

I woke up to the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen. What the hell? Who’s here? What time is it? Someone had turned off the TV while I was asleep. I grabbed my phone from the coffee table in front of me. It read 9:39 a.m. I had slept through the night. I got up from the couch, rubbing my neck, and walked to the kitchen. Jaxin was at the stove making breakfast.       “Good morning to the sleeping turtle. Nat went out with her mother and I thought I’d stop by to see my favorite turtle in the world. I came in and you were crashed on the couch. How do you fall asleep during Star Wars? You disappoint me.” He said as he took me in for a hug. “Man, I missed you kid. How was the tour?” “Amazing shows kiwi. One of the best tours ever!” “That’s great. Sit, breakfast is almost ready.” I nodded and took a seat at the table. Jaxin came over with two plates stacked with waffles and bacon and took a seat in front of me. We ate and talked for a long time, catching up on everything we had missed on. After a couple of hours it was time for Jaxin to leave. “Alright man, I’ll see you tomorrow. It was good talking to you.” I said as he stepped into his car. “Same to you!”

 

I walked back inside and played the movie from where I left off last night. After a while I picked up my phone and decided to call Jenn. She answered on the fifth ring. “Chill out, I got it!” I heard her call out to someone in the background. “Hello?” she said into the receiver as I chuckled. “Hey. Sounds like someone doesn’t like to hear the phone ring.” She laughed. “Yeah, my brother and I are watching the game and I guess the ringing interrupted his concentration.” “Oh, my bad. What game are you guys watching?” I asked. “Soccer. Mexico vs. Italy.” “Oh, I had no idea you liked soccer. How’s the game going?” “I love it. And it’s going good. It’s about to be half-time and they’re tied. One goal each.” “Damn, that’s close.” “Yes, but I have faith in my team. We’re going to take this game home!” I couldn’t help but smile. I loved Jenn’s enthusiasm. “I bet you will.” “Do you follow sports?” she asked me. “Football and baseball? No. Soccer? Sometimes. I’m more of a music guy so I don’t always have time to watch games.” I could hear her chuckle through the phone. “Yeah, I get you. What are you doing then?” “Star Wars movie marathon on my comfy couch after a long tour.” I said, a smile clear in my voice. “Damn, sounds nice! I haven’t had one of those in a while.” I remembered Jaime’s warning to be careful. I should not ask her to come over now, as much as I wanted to. “Maybe, one day we could have one.” I said through the phone, hopefully sounding more like a friend that a guy trying to have some time with her. “Yeah! That would be awesome. Hey, well my brother is calling me to get back to the game, I’ll see you tomorrow at the barbecue, alright?” Damn, I wanted to talk to her some more but I didn’t want to seem desperate. “Alright, sounds good. I’ll be waiting for you.” She laughed. “Bye, Tone.” “Bye, Jenn.”I hung up the phone and went back to watching Star Wars knowing I’d see her tomorrow.
