Chapter 25(Jesse)

“JJ... Jess…JJ… I think David’s home.”

Ah, the warmth of his body next to mine, the sound of his voice whispering softly in my ear and the feel of his hands on my waist… What a dream… Pleasssse, do not wake me up! Then I focus on what is being said in this dream. David’s home. Not a dream... Panic.

“Oh my God! What!?” I jump up, brushing my hair out of my face. “What do you mean? What time is it?” I ask nervously as I push him.

He is laughing at me. “I don’t know. It’s early. I guess we fell asleep. I heard the car door. What should I do?” He looks amused as he continues to lie calmly in my bed with his arms crossed behind his head, watching me freak out.

“For one, stop laughing. You’ve got to get the hell out of here! He likes you and all, but not if he finds you in his daughter’s bed,” I yell, as I continue pushing him out of it.

“How?” he asks, hardly able to get the words out. “I’m not making it out of the window in time; there’s no way.” He’s standing between the door and the closet, looking at me for answers, with a gigantic, nervous grin on his face.

As I hear the footsteps in the hallway growing closer, I shove his sneakers in his hands, while pushing him towards my closet. “Get in! Don’t come out until I tell you and stop laughing; it’s not funny!” Trying to hold back the grin that is now forming on my face as well. I jump back in bed and pull the covers up over my head, hiding the still present grin. Within seconds, I hear the creaking sound of my door opening. I freeze. Again, the same creaking sound when it closes. I wait a few seconds, giving him time to make his way down the hall. I tiptoe over to the door, then in my best sleepy voice, “Dad, was that you?” I peek out from my door.

“Yeah, Sweetie. Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you. Go back to bed; I’m going to catch a few more hours myself. We’ll talk later,” he answers.

“Okay, just wanted to make sure.” The good thing about living in an old house with creaking floors is that you can pretty much tell where everyone is at all times. I listen for the sounds of the floorboards creaking on the stairs before I close my door and lock it, just in case, and then I walk over to the closet to open the door.

“Wow. That was close.” He’s grinning as he stumbles out.

“Yeah, it was.” I giggle back.

“I guess I better get going then.” It is more of a question.

“Well, he did just go up to bed... better make sure he’s asleep first before you leave.” At this point I am wide awake and I need a little confirmation that everything we talked about last night wasn’t a dream.

“Sounds good to me,” he says as he walks over to me.
