CHAP 10
Jenn woke up and noticed Lance wasn’t there. She sighed- she was still in pain- her sides, hurt her back well everything., but the one thing that hurt the most was her heart. Something that no medicine nor painkillers could cure and she wanted most for this pain to subside or at least start to heal. She loved Lance….but she was with Frankie and besides Lance deserves better then her. Maybe that’s why he is not in the room with her…maybe because of her rejecting him last night he left and does not like her anymore. As much as it hurt her to think that , the more she wished it was true. She walked to the bathroom and noticed he had taken a shower, she smelled his after shave and started to cry…why did she have to love him? I mean she used to be obsessed with him in her “teenybopper” days but once she laid eyes on his actual eyes her whole perspective of him changed. She did not worship over his every move she now adored him-the real him- even the scent of him brought chills up her spine. But how is she going to tell him? Does he really lover her? Or tomorrow will she be yesterday’s news? “Better play it safe.” She tells herself. Pretend to love Frankie and don’t put my heart on the line. “Act” – “Acting is what I’m good at and acting is what I will do”…but will this act hurt her reality in the process?
Lance put his arms around Jenn while Jenn was in mid-thought
“Hey I did not know you were up”
“Yeah I couldn’t sleep anymore…I’m so sore” Jenn said
“Hey look your cut on your head is almost gone.” Lance said trying to cheer Jenn up.
“Yeah yours too.” Jenn said while Lance kissed her.
“Come out here I wanted to show you something.” Lance said sounding very excited. “Wait……….why don’t you wait here and I will call you.”
“Ok” Jenn said unsure of what Lance was thinking
“Close your eyes” He says running out and laughing
“Their closed” Jenn said peeking
“Ok come out”
Jen walked out of the bathroom to see Lance sitting in-between a bunch of stuffed animals and balloons.
“HAPY BIRTHDAY!” Lance shouted
“Lance” Jenn laughs
“Pick your favorite stuffed animal”
“Only one” Lance grinned
“Only one” Lance said smiling trying to pull Jenn towards him.
Jenn climbs on the bed: “ well I really like this bear over here…”
“But…” Lance said
“But I like this bass better.” Jenn says as she jumps on Lance
“Really?”
“Yeah…. stuffed animals cant talk back to you.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing?” Lance said looking at Jenn
“Not when you want to kiss them.” Jenn smiled
“Yeah then you get fuzz in your mouth.” Lance said as he kisses Jenn
“Exactly…oowww” Jenn laughs
“Are you ok?”
“I think my back just popped.”
“Here let me rub it.” Lance said
“Owww I am going to die before I turn 21” Jenn laughed
“No you not” Lance grinned
“And why do you think that?”
“Cause you still have to have my 6 kids…..or wait was it 10?” Lance smirked
“One if your lucky”
“Your so beautiful” Lance says
“Stop it” Jenn says looking back at him
“You are…….” Lance says and he starts to sing. “You everything I hoped for and your everything I need”
“Lance your such a dork” Jenn says as she begins to cry………..in all her years of liking lance she always wanted him to sing to her….
“Don’t cry” Lance says as he lays down next to Jenn and wipes her tears away.
“Why do you do this Lance..”
“Do what?”
“Always try to make me happy and you care about me I mean you can have someone else …some one better like Laura.”
“Me and Laura are over and Jenn your different I have never felt this way about anyone before you make me want to do things I would never even dream of you are on my mind 24/7 you distract me from my work, TV, singing, everything, I am always thinking about you…Jenn I…I…Love” The phone rings once again and disrupts the peace.
Lance crams his face into a stuffed animal and yells some curse words that I will not display here.
Jenn picks up the phone: “Hello?….hey….thanks…….and I cant believe you and Justy I’m so happy…yeah he is right here stuffing his face into one of my stuffed animals so I think he can talk.”
“Lance its Kady….I’m going to go in the shower.” Jenn says as she walks into the bathroom and closes the door
Lance picks up the phone “ Hey…yeah 2 pm…yeah I picked them up at the airport earlier…yeah and Caitlyn is getting the rest of them…speaking of picking things up can you go to the jewelry store on Venas blvd and pick up Jenn’s present for me….what is it……it is a ring….no not an engagement ring….more of a promise ring…..Kady I love her…yeah ok…..thanks…bye” Lance hangs up the phone and rolls off the bed.
“Jenn we got to go” Lance says about to open the bathroom door
Jenn opens the door and asks “Where?”
“To lunch…what’s underneath that towel” Lance grins
“You’re a pig you know that” Jenn glares at him.
“Oink, Oink baby” Lance winks
“Hey could you get me a Fumanskeeto shirt from my closet” Jenn says
“Supporting Chris’s clothes line” Lance says
“Those are the only shirts I have …Chris gives me new shirts everyday.” Jen laughs
“I know he even gives me some and it is a girls clothing line”
“Maybe he is hinting to something……or you just look dang sexy in tight girlie shirts.” Jenn winks
“You really think so?”
“If you ever wear a tight girlie looking shirt I will kill you myself no your fans who want to trample you and have your babies, but me….and trust me it will hurt.” Jenn says laughing
“I like pain” Lance grins
Jenn pinches Lance
“OWWW” Lance says
“You like pain?” Jenn laughs
“Your mean”
“I try….now let me change.” Jenn says pushing Lance out of the bathroom
“No ….I’m staying right here” Lance said standing in the door way with his arms crossed
“Ok then you do that I’m going to change in the closet.”
* 20 Minutes later *
“I’m 10 seconds away from carrying you out of the house.” Lance said
“I’d like to see you try.” Jenn said sticking her tongue out at him
“OK” Lance runs after her as Jenn runs up the stairs to try to get away but Lance grabs her by the ankles and throws her over his shoulder.
“LET ME GO….LET ME GO” Jenn screamed hitting Lance’s back with her fists.
Lance kisses Jenn “NEVER” He laughs
Lance carries Jenn out to the car and puts her in the passenger side.
“Do I have to buckle you in to?” Lance says as Jenn shakes her head yes “ Oh alright” Lance buckles Jenn up.
“AHHH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Jen laughs as Lance climbs over her lap and into his seat.
“Getting to my seat.”
“By crawling on me?”
“Why you don’t find that sexy?”
“No more like painful”
“Ok I’ll put that on my “Not so sexy list”
“And how full is that?” Jenn laughed
“That is number one so far.”
“That is a record.”
“And hopefully it stays that way.” Lance added
“One could only hope…..we need some music up in here…..Lance you have crappy music” Jenn says looking though his CDs.
“Well I like it …and they’re my new clients”
Jenn laughs
“What?” Lance says
“Nothing”
* 5 Minutes Later *
“Where here!” Lance said pulling up to a beach house looking restaurant….it had cars all around and spread out to the Pacific ocean.
“Wow it is packed….a beach house but we don’t like seafood” Jenn said wondering what was going on
“Whoever said it was seafood?” Lance said knowing Jenn was catching on
“I did….AHHH Lance what are you doing?” Jenn could see nothing as two hands covered her eyes
“Covering your eyes”
“Why?”
Lance whispers into her ear as they approach the door “ cause it makes you look sexy.”
Lance removes his hands from Jenn’s eyes
“What the…” Was all Jenn could say as she saw millions of faces staring at her
“SURPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!”
