Falling In Love With A Bad Boy

Chapter 23

Jane and I got to grandpa's with 3 minutes to spare.  I unlocked the door and let Jane in.  Grandpa was sleeping in the recliner, so we tried to be as quiet as we could.  I tiptoed over and covered him with the blanket grandma knitted on the back of the couch. 

"Come on." I said as I headed up the stairs.  We got to my room and I shut and locked the door. 

"So?"  Jane asked as she plopped down on my bed.  "Tell me what the hell is going on?"

"I don't know."  I shrugged.

"Oh don't give me that shit!  I am here covering for you!  What is going on with Travis?"  She raised her voice.

"Hush!  Ok, I want to be with him.  It is hard, he is best friends with my brother and grandpa don't like him."

"So, why not tell them?  You never did this stuff before.  I think he is a bad influence."

"No he isn't!  No one knows him like I do.  Everyone always wants to give him a hard time.  He is the most sweetest boy I have ever know.  He makes me feel all warm and cozy when I am with him.  I never want it to end."  I sighed and plopped down next to Jane. 

"I think you have your first infatuation.  But it will not last.  Remember me and Jake?  Yeah, it was a fling.  Glad it is, I found my prince charming."  Jane smiled.

"I wish everyone could see what I see in him.  He is kinda moody and bossy, but it makes all the appeal.  He never pushes me to do anything, he lets me decide what to do."

"Oh no you didn't!"  Please tell me you haven't had sex with him!" Jane exclaimed.

"Heck no!  Oh my God, I am not ready for that yet.  But......"

"But what girl?  Spit out all the details." 

We talked into the night and must have fallen asleep in the wee hours of the morning.  I am so glad that I have Jane to talk to.  I hope she will change her opinion of Travis.  I showed her some of the texts he sent me and was texting me tonight.   She seemed to warm up to the thought of me and him together.

At about 10 am, I headed down to the kitchen to make breakfast for us.  Jane is a late sleeper, so I just leave her be.  Grandpa was at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. 

"Hey honey, what time did you girls get in?"  He tipped the paper down to peer over it.

"I got home with three minutes to spare.  You were sleeping, so we left you on the recliner."

"That's fine.  What's for breakfast?  And where is Jane?  Did she leave already?" grandpa asked.

"No, she sleeps late.  I will wake her when the french toast is done. "

After breakfast, Jane and I went to the mall.   It was fun having girl time.  Jane looked a little annoyed with Travis texting me constantly, but  I was glad to hear from him. 

"Tell him that he can have you later.  Right now you are mine!"  Jane gave me that stern look.

"Ok, Ok."  I texted Travis and put my phone in my purse.

We enjoyed a late lunch at Applebee's.  When Jane went to the bathroom, I checked my phone quick.  I had 21 messages from Travis.  They ranged from please call me to where are you?  I quickly answered that I would call him when I got back to grandpa's house. 

The rest of the lunch seemed to drag.  I wanted to know what he wanted, but didn't want to rush with Jane.  She would be so annoyed.
