I look over at Devon. He is still sleeping, I'm glad he's resting. I turn the emergency alarm off on my clock so it won't wake him up. I look outside and notice that there is a bunch of petals hovering in the sky spelling something out.
It says:
If you're reading this Joanne, I will do whatever it takes to show you that I am a changed man. I do want you in my life and I will do everything I can to prove it to you.
It wasn't signed but I know who wrote it and I can't believe he is willing to do that. This is so confusing. Devon walks up behind me, gives me a hug and kisses me on the cheek.
"What are you looking at Joanne?" Devon asks me, curious as to why I am straight faced so early in the morning.
"Look out the window and you will see." I tell him simply as I walk to my closet. I stand in the door as he read it. He didn't seem to pleased about the public announcement of his change. Though only we know who wrote it and what the meaning is behind it. I hope it goes away before Vivian and Aimsely see it.
"Do you believe that he will change and if you do what are you going to do about it?" Devon asks me without turning away from the window. He is nervous about what I may say. He shouldn't be because I told him what I might do if he did change.
"Look if he changes, I will re-evaluate. Like I told you yesterday. I might go on one date with him and see how things go. But I wouldn't put any hope in it because knowing him it seems like nothing can change him." I say as I pick out what I want to wear.
"I'm glad you're not getting your hopes up. I just have a bad feeling about the whole situation. But what do I know, it could be jealousy." Devon says with a smile as I walk out of my closet.
"Trust me I don't want to get hurt any more then I want to hurt you. So, it's better to be honest about the situation then lie about what's going on. I think he is just lonely and needs a friend who is blunt and straight forward. I'm not interested in being his mother. I want a companion not a child." I tell him surprised at how straight forward Im being. I don't know where that came from but didn't think of it that way before.
"I'm so glad to hear that you're getting over him." Devon says with a huge grin. Over stating it a bit.
"Well I wouldn't go that far. I still have a crush on him because he is physically attractive. I'm just bracing myself because it doesn't go any deeper than that. Now can we change the topic please? How did you sleep?" I ask him as I put my clothes in the bathroom and walk to him.
"It was very nice since I got to spend it with you." Devon says giving me a hug. I wonder what Noah is like in bed. Fuck, I shouldn't be thinking about that.
"I feel the same." I say a little unhappy with what I felt.
"What's wrong Jo." Devon asks worried with how my mood changed.
"I had a bad thought." Devon gave me a look to go on. "I thought about what Noah would be like in bed and I don't like that I though about it with you here." I tell him a bit upset at myself. Devon smiles.
"Its okay. You're not over him and I understand that you have been crushing on him for a while. Whatever it is we have; I'd really like it if he didn't get in the middle of it." Devon says a little jealous again. It's kind of hot seeing him jealous.
"I'm sorry. You have the right to be mad at me that I thought about him in that way and the fact that I do think about him. I won't be mad if you don't want there to be an us. Though we aren't really an us because we are figuring out what it is we have." I say trying not to hurt him. I really hate myself now. He smiles because he knows that he is also making me confused about all this.
"Joanne. Even though we are sort of casual about things between us, that doesn't mean it hurts any less that you like him." Devon says.
"I know, but for now he has to prove it. I'm going to have a shower if you want to go eat." I tell him with a smile. I walk into the bathroom and throw some cold water on my face. That's better, time for a shower.
"I will wait for you." Devon says as he looks back out the window.
"Alright, I won't be too long. I will deal with the shit head later." I tell him with a smile. I close the bathroom door behind me and have my shower. Why would I think about what Noah's like in bed if I haven't even been with Devon? Why does this have to be so complicated? There's a week left before school starts. I get out of the shower, dry off and get dressed. I hang my towel up before walking out of the bathroom.
"You hungry Devon?" I ask him standing beside him. He is sitting at my desk twirling a pen around in his hand.
"Yes." He replies a she sits up. He's probably going to change later, since he slept in his clothes from yesterday. He follows me to the kitchen and the girls are eating at the island.
"Good morning ladies." I say to them with a smile as I grab a bowl from the cupboard. I get a spoon and the cheerios as Vivian half chokes on her food as we walked out.
"I see you had a good night." Vivian says recovering as Devon walks up beside me getting a bowl and spoon himself.
"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. It's none of your business." I tell her as I get the milk out and pour it on my cereal. Nothing happened besides a good guy friend with whom I like stayed over. But no funny business had happened like she may think.
"Maybe not. But the note in the sky is everyone's business since it was addressed to you without a signature. Do you know who wrote it?" Vivian asks so very curious.
"Yes I do and no I'm not going to tell you right now." I inform her as I sit down by the couch and turn the TV on for some background noise. Devon and the girls join me as we all eat silently. I can feel Viv trying to penetrate my mind for information. I'm learning to block her. It doesn't take long before we are done eating. I think now might be a good time to yell at the neighbours. For some reason we all had decides to go to the kitchen to put our dishes away at the same time.
"Why can't I read your mind or Devon's, Jo?" Vivian asks confused and annoyed that it isn't working anymore.
"Oh, I don't know maybe because we learned to block you out. Now if you don't mind, I have some yelling to do." I inform her as Devon and I walk to the door.
"Please tell me what happened between you two. Please tell me who wrote that note in the sky. Who is trying to prove they love you? Please oh please tell me." Vivian asks begging for once. I'm surprised she can't read either of our minds. How can she stand not being able to use her power for once?
