Fifteen
Once again, Jeanie woke up before him and stayed watching at him. It was becoming a habit.
- Stop doing that! – he complained before opening his eyes.
- What am I doing? – she smiled.
- You´re staring at me!
- No, I´m not! – she lied.
- Little liar! – he suddenly opened his eyes catching her glance. He took her over her waist to put her untop of him and kiss her.
- Oh! – she laughed with his gesture – You wanna play! – she kissed him back and kept kissing his neck and chest.
- I wanna play! – he threatened her and turn around placing her below him to kiss her neck as she did with him before.
- Let´s play then! – she roared noticing the cloth was already flying away.
They had an entertained and funny game under the sheets without thinking any further from that moment.
- I love having breakfast on bed – Jeanie smiled reclining on his chest when they finished.
- Me too – he looked at her taking her hair away from her face.
- I have to go to class! – she remembered and ran to the shower, leaving him there, still naked and smiling.
When Jeanie left, Reid realized it was too early for him to go to work, so he decided to stay on bed another while, just to recover from her powerful youth. He woke up an hour later to discover an unexpected message.
- I want to pick my things – Denisse was really direct – When can I go?
- Is it ok this weekend? – he answered without thinking it too hard.
- Perfect – she answered – See you.
It was the longest lessons day to Jeanie. Time refused to move forward and every time she checked her phone, nothing new appeared.
- What´s wrong? – Beth asked noticing her bad mood.
- Something´s wrong – she whispered – Reid hasn´t written to me.
- Maybe he is busy – she said as if it wasn´t a big deal.
- He always writes, at least a sentence!
- Don´t be so controlling! – she grumbled – Men hate that.
- I´m not controlling because I haven´t called him, but I´m worried.
Lessons finished and Jeanie went to the apartment with Beth.
- You have to see Junior at the library – Beth announced.
- What for? – she hesitated – I barely speak with him. What´s going on?
- He is good at Lexicology and he is gonna help us with tomorrow´s homework – she explained – But I have a super important date and I can´t go, so… You´ll sacrifice on our mark´s behalf – she smiled.
- That´s not fair!
- It is!
- Fine, I´ll go, but I´ll keep this one to you.
- Whatever you say sister – Beth knew how Jeanie felt every time she called her like that and took advantage of it – You know I love you. You should be there in half an hour – she smiled, kissed Jeanie´s cheek and left.
Jeanie wasn´t happy about it, but she wanted and needed the mark, so she decided to go. She took a fast shower, wore a simple, but sexy dress and took herself to the library. Junior was already there with three open books and a laptop on a table. She saw her life passing through her eyes.
- Hi – she roughly said hello – I´m in a hurry, so let´s get this over with as fast as possible.
- That sounds awful – he joked.
Jeanie laughed for the second time that day and they finished the homework in around an hour. It was true two brains think more and better than just one.
She was planning to go back to the apartment when Reid asked her if she would like to eat out. She was happy about it, but happiness wasn´t gonna last that long.
- What´s the occasion? – she asked.
- Do I need one to make you happy?
- So sweet!
On the way back Reid was extremely quiet, more than usual. Jeanie felt it was the longest road of her life. When they arrived the house, she felt like if she had walked the death corridor.
- Ok! – she exploded – Don´t make this longer. Tell me the bad news at once.
- My ex wants to come to pick her stuff.
- When? – she started fearing the worst.
- This weekend.
- This weekend? – she was right fearing the worst – She is not coming to pick her stuff – she warned him – She is coming to win you back.
- I won´t be with her again.
- Don´t lie to me.
- Jeanie, I don´t lie.
- Ok.
That night, they only used the bed to sleep.
