Chapter 5

I walked her to her car realizing we were leaving and how I would not wake up with her next to me the next morning. “You got everything,” I said. “Yup got everything except for you babe,” she said. “Don’t do that baby this is hard enough as it is,” I protested. “Sorry,” she pouted as her head fell in disappointment. I immediately wrapped her up in my arms and squeezed her tight. I released her from my grip and let her enter her car. I leaned in the window, “call me when you get home so I know you’re okay.” “Yes,” she said. I leaned further into the window and gave her a long passionate tongue kiss filled with love before forcibly removing myself from her car window. As I walked to my own car the only thing I thought about was how perfect she was and how badly I wanted to be with her.

When I got home I went up to my room. I got on my computer to find a new e-mail. It was from a production company in the city that had a possible internship available. It says I start in Chicago in 3 months. I immediately went to work looking for apartments in downtown Chicago near the building I would be working at and around. I found a few possibilities of studio apartment but I couldn’t afford them on my own. If only I had a roommate…

2 months pass and no luck. No seeing Jaylen either. We still talked and held out relationship strong since we met for the first time. I called her up, “baby I cant find someone to live with next month,” I said. “I’m sorry sweetie” she said. “Its ok,” I started, “(laughs) what if you move in with me?” “Sure,” she blurted out. I dropped the phone, scrambling to pick it up I finally did and said into the phone, “WHAT!” She said, “I’ll move to the city with you, you said you already found an apartment and ill get a job waitressing to help pay the rent.” I sat there silent on the phone, skeptical. “Don’t fuck with me right now babe.” She laughed “I’m not I am dead serious there is nothing I want more than to wake up next to you every morning and come home to your arms every night.” I smiled on the other end of the phone and said; “I’ll see you in three weeks.” Still smiling I hung up.

The next three weeks I spent packing and planning.
