Falling Asleep On A Stranger

Chapter 21: Falling Asleep On A Stranger

~Jenna's POV~

I awoke at the crack of dawn. I checked my phone: 6:14am ugggh. I wish I could still sleep but my body does this thing where once it's awake in the morning it will not fall back asleep.

I tried to just relax back into Vic's arms, but I was growing restless. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I decided to weigh myself. I pulled out the scale and stood on it, 112lbs. I should be happy that I still managed to lose weight with Vic watching my food intake, but as I look into the mirror all I see is fat.

I was going to shower but it would probably wake the boys up. I went back into the room and looked out the window, we are parked at the new venue.

I rummaged through my bag looking for my sneakers and shorts. I found them and slipped them on. I found a piece of paper and pen and wrote 'out for a jog be back soon-Jenna' I put the note on the counter in the kitchen and snuck off the bus.

Freedom.

I started jogging down the road not knowing where I was going. All I knew was that I had to just run. I ran/jogged for about half an hour before realising how tired I was getting. I was so hungry, but it felt so good to be burning empty calories. I decided that I would run back no matter how tired I was because I needed to get to my goal and soon.

Getting back to the bus took less time than it did to get to where-ever I was. I got back around 7:30 which means I was out there for a good 45 minutes. When I went back into the bus Tony was awake and on the couch.

"How was your jog?" He asked with a sexy morning voice. Wait what? Why would I think that?

"It was good, nice and refreshing" I answered mentally cursing at myself.

"Well I'm glad you feel good, but you don't smell good" Tony laughed crinkling his nose as I walked past him.

I felt embarrassed when Tony made that comment and didn't know how to respond. "I'm just going to drink some water then I-I'll go shower"

"You sound unsure about the shower haha, but sounds like a plan, have fun." Tony redirected his attention to the tv as he laughed at me. He's so weird.

~&~

I had a quick shower and got ready for my day. When I went back into my room I noticed Vic wasn't there so I guess he's up and moving. I threw my dirty clothes in the corner and went to go find him.

"Morning beautiful" Vic smiled as I walked in.

"Moring sleepy-head" I smile back at him.

"It's just after 8, how am I a sleepy-head? Mike and Jaime are still sleeping!" Vic was trying to defend himself.

"Well you only just got up and I've already been up since 6ish and went for a jog, so that makes you a sleepy-head" I said in a childish voice.

"I would have been up earlier but last night's events seemed to make me more tired than usual" Vic said suggestively smirking. Tony gave Vic a look of disgust before saying "I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does!"

"You'll have to ask Jenna about that one" Vic said proudly, making my face go redder than a tomato. Tony looked at me and his eyes widened. He knew the answer from my face and put his hands over his ears and said "Don't say it! My ears don't want to hear this!!!!!"

"It's okay Tony I don't kiss and tell" I said staring into Vic's eyes, trying to give him the hint to shut the fuck up about last night. He must have received the message because the next words out of Vic's mouth were "What would you like for breakfast Jenna?"

Tony went back to his show and I replied, "umm I'm kinda just in the mood for like a banana or something". This was a lie, I could eat anything and everything but I'm not ruining my run for a pointless breakfast. Vic seemed disappointed in my answer because he mumbled under his breath 'that's not enough' while turning to the fridge. Vic looked inside and asked "We shall have eggs and a banana then". He wasn't going to give me a choice.

Vic made 4 eggs and cut a banana in half and put everything on one plate. We sat on the stools by the counter, and I started eating my half of the banana. I made it though and about one of the eggs before putting my fork down. Vic frowned at the left over egg knowing that he had eaten at least 2.

"I need you to finish baby" He said trying to be nice and not cause a scene in front of Tony.

I really didn't want to so the only way I could think to make Vic happy and not eat as much would be to split the remaining egg. "Split it with me...please" I gave him pleading eyes.

Vic let out a sigh before saying "Okay"

We finished the food and Vic went to wash the dishes in silence. I'm pretty sure he's mad at me, but that's not fair. I'm trying for him he shouldn't expect anymore than that from me. Well he thinks I'm trying but what he doesn't know won't kill him.

~&~

Mike and Jaime woke up around 11 and went out for food with Vic and Tony. I convinced Vic to let me stay on the bus by myself. I just want to have a lazy day.

I was going through the magazines I got for my birthday, cutting out pictures for the wall. Once I had a massive stack of them I started to tape them to the back wall. Vic said to make our room mine and this makes me feel more like myself.

An hour went by when I heard the bus door open.

"It's Tony!" Tony called.

"I'm back here" I called to him.

Tony came into the door way and stopped, "Wow that looks so cool!"

"Oh thank you, but it's not finished yet. Um is anyone else here?"

"No, Vic and them went to the store to pick up some supplies so I came back to check on you."

"Good because I don't want Vic to see this until it's done, umm do you want to help me?" I asked hoping he would say yes, I haven't had much time to spend with Tony and I really want to be best friends.

"Yeah I could, what should I do?"

"Well first you could plug in some tunes, then just pick up pictures and tape them on the wall, like I've been doing."

"Alrighty then" He replied with a smile then went to put on some music. He put his phone on shuffle then started taping things to the wall. It was fun just spending time with someone who doesn't know much about me, only the good things. We were silent for a while but then Lost In Stereo by ATL started playing and we both just kind of looked at each other and broke out singing. It was so funny, we were dancing around the room, just having a 2-man party. At the end of the song we both fell on the bed laughing. I felt so carefree. I looked over to Tony who was looking at me, I was still giggling like a 5 year old and unable to think straight when the next thing I knew Tony's lips were on mine.

It took me a second to realise what was actually happening, but when I did I shoved away from Tony and jumped up from the bed.

"Jenna I'm so-" He tried to say but I cut him off yelling, "WHAT WAS THAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TONY! I'M DATING VIC, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HE IS GOING TO SAY! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL-"

"Jenna, shhhh, I'm so sorry please don't tell Vic, I-I really didn't mean to. Please forgive me and just forget about it. Please?" Tony begged cutting me off from my rant.

"Tony I-I don't know" I said trying to stay calm. Surely I have to tell Vic, don't I? I was stuck in thought with Tony staring at me when all of the sudden I heard Vic saying "We're home!".

Shit.
