Girlfriend

Chapter 3

When I got home I felt my heart feeling weird. It felt empty. I mean what could I be upset about? I'm back with my wonderful boyfriend....

When I slipped into our bed Chris rolled over ," Jane, how was the party ?" Chris asked.

" Good." I said .

" Good. I'm glad you had fun baby. " he said kissing my shoulder. " Goodnight ."

" Goodnight." I said scooting myself over to the edge of the bed.

All I could image is Michael's smile and his laugh. That thought brought joy to my heart. But Chris doesn't? Hmm.

That next day I went to the office a little earlier. I was tired, but I didn't want to encounter Chris that morning. I just didn't feel like it.

I sat in my office falling asleep in my palm.

" Hungover?" A voice said.

I jolted up. Leslie stood there with a grin.

" No, actually. I drank no alcohol or took any drug." I said laying my head down on a folder of sketches.

" Ha- I'm sensing you need coffee."

" Please...." I say muffled under my arm.

Michael's POV

I went into my kitchen for breakfast to see my lovely mother, Katherine reading the newspaper while drinking her tea.

" Michael.. Good morning." She said softly.

" Good morning mother ." I said spinning around to a fruit basket grabbing an apple.

I sat down at the tip of the table and stared off into the distance. All I thought of was Jane. God, she was something. This is odd. I haven't had this feeling for someone since I fell in love with Diana Ross when I was a young boy.

" Michael...something troubling you?" She asked sweetly.

" No..." I whispered thinking of Jane's smile." God no...."

" Well is there at least something on your mind?"

" SomeONE." I say getting up.

My mother was shocked. " A someone?"

" Yes mother! She is beautiful and full of life and her smile ughhh..." I sighed.

" Oh. Michael this is so unexpected ." She said . She seemed worried.

" Mother." I said bending down holding her wrists. " This is unexpected for me too. I just. She makes me happy thinking of her. And I want to have a 'someone' . I never considered having one. And now I do. Mother she makes me happy. "

" Michael that's wonderful. I'm very happy for you." She said hugging me.

Jane's POV

I had been able to keep awake through lunch with the 5 coffees I drank. So I started working on some doodles. I had no set objective so I played around for a bit. I thought of Michael and an outfit for him. I smiled as I drew each detail thinking of his wonderful self.

" Jane." Leslie said walking in, which startled me, causing me to shove my drawing under my stack of papers.

" Yea??"

" Oh, um. There is a call for you..." She said walking out.

I tapped the button on my phone ." Hello this is Jane Markuss' office."

" Jane?" The soft voice said in return." This is Michael." I bit my lip smiling at the sound of his voice.

" Oh, Michael hi..."
