I have never felt so much life, vigor, love or passion before but this all is what I was feeling in this moment with Josh.
I watch him open his eyes and look into mine. He smiles at me and then pulls me close to him.
"Morning beautiful." I let his deep, horsy morning voice fill my ears.
Dream come true
Waking up and looking at the man you love.
"I love you." I say kissing him
"I love you too Neese, always have."
There is a loud beeping sound, I don't know if its my phone or Josh's
"I think its yours." He says
I groan.
I pull up my pair of jeans and retrieve my phone, on the screen, I see Eves name and a lot more of missed calls.
"Haha, you should answer it, am sure Eve and everyone else is worried looking at how we left last night."
As soon as I click the answer button, I hear Eves angry tone
"Where are you?!"
"Am on my way coming back Eve."
"My goodness, did you just get out of bed? And don't deny it I can hear it in your voice."
"I will see you later."
"How do you just leave without informing anyone? What's wrong with you Neese?"
"Eve, bye". I cut the call.
"She is just trying to look out for you." Just says wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me back into bed.
Eve is definitely going to have my head on a tray.
**************************************************************************************
Josh is driving us back to my apartment. Our fingers are locked as he drives and tells me more about his life and job.
"Do you want to stop my Meggs before I drop you off at your place?"
"No, its already twelve, Eve will probably call the police." I laugh
Okay, what just happened?
And what Eve do to me?
Did Josh and I just make up after four years?
Did I just have a great time with him?
Eve is standing outside my apartment, her face reads nothing but fury. Besides her is Danny, Quin, Mrs. Matins and Matt
Matt is back in town?
Oh my goodness.
The week isn't yet over
Why are they gathered as if to mourn my funeral?
As soon as Eve recognizes Josh's car, she runs towards it with Danny and Quin behind her. Eve starts to bang on the drivers window.
"She is definitely going to kill us." Josh says
"Am sorry." I whisper as he opens his car door and gets out to meet Eves wrath
"How dare you!!" as soon as those word leave Eves mouth, her right palm collides with Josh's right cheek
No she didn't not
She did not just slap my man.
Danny quickly pulls her away as I get out of the car and walk to them.
"Eve don't slap him again!"
"I cannot believe you Neese, you run off into the night with him."
"I did not run off and whatever happened is non of your business."
"You don't hear what people say do you?"
I pull Josh to his car and tell him to drive back to where he was staying. He leaned in and kissed me before leaving.
Surprise everyone.
"You have so much guts Neese, was the movie so scary that it had you running back into the arms of your ex?"
What, she did not
"Don't talk to me like that."
Eve shakes her head and pushes Danny away.
"You made your own choice, whatever happens, it was your decision." She walks back into the house.
Danny just looks at me
"We were afraid something had happened to you but looks like you had something up your sleeves going on." He then walks to his car and drives away as Mrs. Matins and Quin walk to their car as well.
The hell?
Cant a young adult enjoy some nice time with a man she just got back with?
Or peacefully make another mistake!
******************************************************************************************
I had no in person session from the previous days until now but I just wanted to go to the clinic and have my appointments from there. The tension in the house with Eve, was choking me.
I sit in my office as I wrap up with my clients.
"Okay Mrs. Smith same day , same time next week okay."
"Thank you dear, take care, bye."
she cuts the zoom call.
What did I do?
What am I doing?
Josh and I?
I had literally vowed never to get involved with him again
And here I was allowing myself to love him again.
Geez, Just hope my own decision back fire on me.
**********************************************************************************************
Josh came to pick me up from my work place and I was glad we did not run into Danny.
We find Quin and Matt sitting in our usual spot.
Matt is literally eyeing me and looking at our locked hands.
"Great you two decided to show up out of hiding." Quin chuckles
"Neese, Josh." Matt says looking from me to Josh
"We have been waiting."
"Sorry for making you wait, I had to finish my appointments."
"And Josh?"
"I was waiting for her to finish up."
"Love birds." Quin scoffs
"Interesting, lets carry on with the event planning share we? Unless you want to tell us more about where you both disappeared to."
"Please Matt, now is not the time." Josh says
we start to go over the final games for everyone for the event from field to board games when Josh's phone rings. He excuses himself to answer it and walks outside.
"I cannot believe it, I leave you two to patch things out but instead you are now planning a wedding ceremony." Matt says
"So you do admit that you put Josh and I together so we would .."
"Yes sort out the past between you two but clearly I can see, you did more than sort out the past." He laughs and Quin joins him
"Just like the old days, Neese always runs back to Josh." She said it in just a pitiful tone it made me feel anger
"Is this what this is about to you two? Some high school drama?."
"Don't get mad Neese, I just wanted the best for you and that was to be at peace."
"Well I am Matt, now just leave us alone okay!" I stand to my feet and quickly grab my bag
"I could use some air."
Then I rush outside hoping to find Josh when I see him walking to his car and start to drive off
Where was he going without saying goodbye?
I wave at a car passing by and when the young man pulls over I say " I will pay you a hundred bucks if you follow that blue car, please."
