What happens in Vegas...

Chapter 13: Future Plans

I sat on the sofa with my head between my hands when Jai came home finding me like that, walking quickly to me he asked concerned "What's wrong? Look at me." he cupped my cheeks and pulled my chin up so that he could see my eyes "What's wrong?"

"I'm okay, I just got a phone call, they want me there, for a job interview and I was thinking things through." I said sighing and smiling a little.

"Don't tell me that this bastards words still bring you down!" he was irritated, more because the way I let myself get hurt over and over again "Enough I said! You can't change it."

"Yeah, I know, you're right." I said one lonely tear falling from my eye, now sad that I'd pissed off Jai.

He saw it and hugged me "Hey, it's okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you." he sighed "It's just that it kills me to see what he's done to you. I thought that my name would protect you but still he manages to get under your skin. And now you're going back, you'll be in his reach again and I can't do shit about it. This all is so fucking unfair!"

"You know what!" I straightened my back "You're right! I'm not gonna let him get to me anymore. I'll go there, get this interview done and get it done the best way I can. If they don't want me then that's fine, I'll keep on searching." I said determined to be positive.

"I'll want you." he pulled me on his lap kissing me "Always."

"Yes you do, cause I'm awesome." I said to him smiling and overly confident. Jai nodded smirking.

"And I have my dear friends" I found one more reason to go back and remembered one skype call from Kat "I cant believe Kat's pregnant."

"Well, it's usually what people do at their honeymoons. Babies. Lots of lots of lot of fucking." he explained and laughed loud "Miles of it."

"Oh wow, thank god we didn't have our honeymoon!" I chuckled and though I was happy for my friend but I couldn't imagine myself as a mother. Even my goldfish didn't survive me, why should I take the responsibility over a human life...

"We still got to fuck, tho." he bit his lip and kissed me passionately remembering what we'd done on our free time "I think I want some of that sugar right now." he attacked my neck and moved down to my bellybutton and up again hiding his head under my t-shirt. After a while kissing me, he placed his cheek on my chest and stayed there. Soon his breathing steadied and deepened.

Is he sleeping? Did he fell asleep while making out? I thought and said quietly not to wake him incase he was "Jai?" No answer. I guess so. He didn't even realized how tired he was. Poor baby.

I took my phone from the sofa and took a picture so that Jai's head under my shirt seemed like a pregnant belly and sent it to Kat saying 

"Hey, GUESS WHAT! I'm preggers, too!" and added another message "NOT!"

In that millisecond of time Kat had already reacted to my first message saying "OMG! What the FUDGE!"

"Will you relax already, I said I was kidding!" I sent laughing so hard that my big belly quivered so I calmed myself down and wrote "It's Jai. Making out with me. Or at least he tried."

"What? What do you mean he tried?" she was confused. I switched my typing to a Skype call and she picked it up.

"He fell asleep." I explained "So now I'm stuck here with my phone cause I don't want to wake him up."

"Awwwww, that's so sweet, and you didn't get any." she laughed.

"Shut up and entertain me!" I chuckled.

We were talking about what had happened since we last spoke and about when I'd be there. She talked about her ultrasound and what things she'd bought for the baby and herself. We had talked about an hour when she asked about the plans for Christmas.

"I have no idea. I mean I would like to be there with you guys", I lowered my voice cause my 'tummy' shifted a bit "but I also want to be with Jai. So I'm in a point where I'm not sure what he'd like to do."

"It would be fun- loads of snow and below -24 degrees celcius." 

"Oh that would be fun. Jai's nuts will freeze off, tho." I laughed.

"I heard that.." Jai's low voice muffled against my bellybutton.

"Oh, hi Jai. Did we wake you?" Kat asked giggling.

"Mh-mh." he pulled the shirt off of his head "How's the baby?"

"Healthy and happy." Kat smiled, surprised about Jai's interest.

Jai had placed his head on my chest, eyes closed, smiling to the answer.

We wrapped up our conversation promising to keep in touch and letting her know when my plane arrives.

"So Christmas, huh?" he asked. I nodded.

"I like snow." he confessed.

It was week after I had received the call. I woke up sad, I knew I would be leaving in a few hours. Leaving him. I started to gather my laptop and other necessary things to one of Jai's bags when he came back with fresh cups of coffee "Oh no, I'm not gonna let you take that bag!"

"Why? It's so comfy and it fits so much stuff in it." I asked confused.

He placed the cups on the table and came to me placing his hands around me so my arms were tied "You see, that's the problem- you take your stuff with you and it seems that you were never here. I like your shit laying around everywhere."

"You know that's not true. I'll come back, max in a week." I tried to cheer him up but felt a knot in my throat. He took my laptop from me, placing it to the coffee table and facing me placing his forehead against mine. We stood this way about 10 minutes.

He sat down on the sofa watching me walking back and forth with my things. Every time I walked by him he reached out to my thigh, like a failed attempt to grab me, he just swiped over it. His usually straight posture was now slouchy, he sat there staring me. When my stuff was packed, he sighed and stood up and walked me out of the door.

At the airport we stood there, hugging, breathing in each others scent. Everything in him refused to let go of me. I had to leave quick before I started to cry. I pulled away from him and smiled, failing miserably when the tears rose up in my eyes.

He pulled me in his warm hug once again saying "I love you. You hear me?" I nodded and he continued "Just come back to me, baby."

"I love you." I said to the crook of his neck and walked through the gate.
