Guilty Pleasure

Page 42

It's Monday morning and I'm up with the sun my love is just hours away from me and I can't wait. I've missed him so much, after two weeks I'll finally be in his arms again. I know it's hell of early but I'm too excited to sleep anymore so I go out for a run, I pretty much retrace our walks with Vicki but end at this one spot Jared and I call ours it has an amazing view of the City of Angels, on a clear day you can see out to the ocean. I love this spot we've watched the sun set and sometime rise from here. For the first time in two weeks I'm truly happy and excited I close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. A single word escapes my lips "soon". I go back to shower, change, and get ready for the day. Julie's still sleeping so I decide to hold off on breakfast, I do however make coffee and go out to the lounge and enjoy a cup while starting my work week on my laptop.

I had so much fun with my girls yesterday, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed our girl time. We got mani/pedis, went shopping had dinner and even took in a movie at Citywalk. We agree to meet again at least twice a month Julie agreed to come down and spend the weekends down here every other weekend, if things work out with Shannon we'd be spending a lot more time together. Speaking of which where was Julie yesterday I mean she was there physically but mentally she was miles away. She was so distracted she said it was nothing but I'm not sure, she usually shares everything with me. I guess she'll come to me when she's ready.

I'm in the kitchen making breakfast when Jewels finally decides to grace me with her presence. Me:"Your majesty so nice of you to join us peasants for breakfast" J:"Do you know what time it is? What are trying to do wake up the dead" Me:"Nope just the semi-comatose" J:"Ha ha, funny" Me:"Have you looked in a mirror" J:"Just don't look me in the eye so I won't turn you into stone" we both laugh, she's just now noticing I'm not in my nighty J:"How long have you been up? Why are you even up, you're not a morning person. What's wrong with you?" I loved having her back, I just smile at her and give her one word Me:"Vegas!" J:"Oh Shit! Shannon!!! I need to shower get ready do my hair......" Me:"Breathe.....breathe!!!!!l" she takes a deep breathe J:"Sorry! You get to see Jared today!!! Ah so happy for you ......" Tears begin to fill my eyes " ........oh don't cry love bug" Me:"I've just missed him so much" J:"I know sweetie but you'll be back in his arms tonight" Me:"And you'll be in Shannon's" J:"And just what kind of a girl do you take me for, I don't put out on the first date." I giggled Me:"That's what I used to say before I met Jared.........and Shannon!" Julie raises an eyebrow J:"Excuse me" Me:"Ok Shannon was technically on the second date." She's quiet again Me:"Hey what's wrong?" J:"hmm nothing I'm fine........ So how far did you take it with Shannon?" Me:"Baby Girl!!!! I didn't sleep with him if that what your asking" J:"Do you think Nessa did?" Me:"If it was the night I met Jared? No! He wanted me. He was hurt but he wouldn't have used Nessa like that, he's too much of a gentleman to do that"

She smiles weakly Me:"You really like him don't you" J:"He's different love bug. You know I see I guy I want I go after him without any qualms but Shannon's different I feel like I'm back in high school with a crush on the captain of the football team that doesn't even know I'm exist" I couldn't help but giggle Me:"Aaw my baby has her first crush" J:"Really Nina, really?" Me:"I'm sorry I couldn't resist. I think it's sweet." Julie smiles at me J:"What was it like for you when you met him?" I look at her quizzically Me:"You really want to know?......... I wondered what he looked like naked " she gasps in shock J:"Nina!!!!!........really???" I blushed Me:"Is that bad?" J:"No, no it's just......... Not you!!!" Me:"I know right? With Jared, he was like a drug, he was running through my veins before I knew what hit me, the moment our eyes locked I was done" Julie sighs deeply J:"I want that with Shannon" Me:"You will love bug" J:"You really think so?" I give her hug Me:"I know" we giggle and we both tear up J:"I love you sweet sis" Me:"I love you too." We have our breakfast and get things ready for Vegas.
