Chapter 27

Toni

After a long day of shooting scenes for the movie, they finally let us go home around two in the morning. I was having so much fun, I didn't notice it had gotten that late so fast.

But now Janet and I are in bed just laying here in the dark. She has her head on my chest, while her hand rest's on my stomach.

"Jan...you asleep?"

"No...just thinking."

She began tracing her finger in circles on my stomach, as I breath lightly.

"About what?"

Janet lifted her head up to look at me, and she just shook her head.

"Horrible Memories."

I moved hair from her face as caressed her cheek.

"Clear your mind of all the pain, and the hurt. Think about your future, and where you want to be. Think about being happy, and being loved by your fans, family, friends...and me."

Janet sat up, and laid beside me so that we were face to face looking each other in the eye. She then closed her eyes, and I saw her eyeballs shift in its socket as if she was seeing things with her eyes closed.

"That's much better." She opened her eyes after a while, and then she brought her body closer to mines.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked as I felt her foot rubbing my leg underneath the sheets.

"As of now...your the only thing on my mind."

That made Janet smile. She wrapped her arm around my small stomach, and she cuddled up to my body. Her body felt so soft against mines, and I felt incredibly hot from her body temperature. Even though I knew we weren't going to be going that far yet, I couldn't help the way my body reacted to hers.

"I want to ask you something."

I intertwined my fingers in hers as I spoke. "Ask away."

"If something was to happen to me, what would you do?"

That question threw me. "What do you mean if something happened to you?"

She gestured her hands in a way that showed she was trying to find the right words. "I mean...ya know...what would you do without me here. Because I know you love me, and we have known each other almost our whole life. So I'm apart of you...what would you do if a piece of you went missing."

I furrowed my brows as I actually laid there and thought about it. "I'd be sad actually, and I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. I mean...not being able to call you, or hear your voice is scary to me." I paused. "Now that I think about it, I'd be lost without you." I perked up after a few seconds. "But don't worry about that, your not going nowhere....right?"

Janet laughed. "Not unless you drop out of my movie I won't be."

I sat up, as I looked down at her with my hand on my heart. "Why you keep bringing up old shit?" I asked trying to imitate Chris Tucker's voice from Friday. Janet and I laughed, and joked a little while longer, then after a while we finally found ourselves in a deep slumber. We had to go shoot more scenes in the morning, but thank god the first part of the movie is being made here in Los Angeles. Tomorrow night is my last night here, so afterwards I'll be having late nights, and early mornings. Traveling, jet lag, and becoming home sick was soon to come.

The next morning I woke up to Janet cooking breakfast in the kitchen. She was flipping an omlet over, wearing a pair of sweats, and a loose t shirt. I rubbed my eyes, as I walked towards the island and sat at a stool.
