As I promised... Sorry if it has any mistakes but i didn't have time to edit it. ******************************** “Come on Ade, if you miss him just call him. He didn’t say you couldn’t!” Katy was almost shouting at me as we were sitting in my balcony watching the sea. I had been feeling down since our week off tour had began and I must say that was only the second day. “He didn’t say I couldn’t call but he said it was good to have some time off, so I guess that means the same.” I argued. “He said that because he wants to give you space and time to think. It seems to me like he has it all figure out in his head but you don’t. You’re not sure and I guess that’s why he said that BUT I think he’d like if you’d call him and break the silence.” She explained her point of view. I didn’t know if I should do it but ever since I got back home for a small week away from work that I had been missing James. I wanted to talk to him but y pride was not letting me do it. I didn’t know how to give the first step and that was what I would be doing if I broke up the rule. I just wanted to talk to him but I wanted him to give the first step, plus I knew he was spending time with his children and I didn’t want to get in the middle. “What a shitty situation!” I retorted frustrated throwing a pillow at the floor. “It’s only shitty because you’re being stubborn. I bet he’d like to hear your voice and it would give him some confidence, maybe next time he’ll be the one to call you. If you just pick up your cell and ring him he’ll feel like he can do it as well but if you shut yourself up he’ll think you’re enjoying your time off and he won’t do it either. Come on, just call him and put an end to your misery Ade. I can tell you’re suffering and you’re dying to hear his voice even if he’s far away but you want to talk to him, you even said so, so I just can wonder how hard it is for you now.” I took a deep breath as Katy’s words rang in my head. My heart was racing just from the thought of talking to him and it was bleeding at the same time because I missed someone so much. “Look, I have to leave because Phil is waiting for me.” She said getting up. I smiled at her, Katy and Phil became rather serious and I enjoyed that. She was happy and in love again and Danny was, finally, just a memory. “Call him.” She ordered. “Promise me you’ll do it.” She insisted. I nodded my head but that didn’t mean I was going to do it. “I’ll think about it, I can only promise you that.” Katy left and I stood at the balcony thinking, scrutinizing the ocean as if it would give me a valid answer to my prayers. After a while I just went for a relaxing bath in my hot tub, I tried to clear my head but it kept on bringing me the one thing I wanted to get rid of, James. He was constantly there, it didn’t matter how hard I tried he was there. I came to the conclusion that I was probably in love with him, even though I had admitted that to Katy before but I was becoming certain of it as I felt for him different things from the usual, at least the usual for someone like me, someone unable to miss someone and I was missing him, missing him deadly. Tired of fighting against my will I got out of the tube and rolled a towel around me, I stretched myself in bed and picked up my cell that was standing on the bedside table. OI dialed his number and my heart jumped when I heard it calling. Too late, I wasn’t going to give up even though it crossed my mind to hang up. It wasn’t useful as my number would appear on his screen as a missed call. I took deep breaths and waited for him to pick it up. After the fifth ring I thought he wasn’t going to do it so I was a bit glad but then… “Ade…” I heard his voice on the other side. I smiled like a fool hearing his deep voice calling my name in such tender way. “Hi.” I said too loud and clumsily. I didn’t know what to tell him and “I missed you.” wasn’t appropriate at all. “What a nice surprise.” He said. I could tell he was smiling, his voice was joyful, he was actually happy to hear me. “I…” I choked thinking about the right words. 2I wanted to talk to you.2 I finally said. “I’m glad you called. How’s LA?” He asked. A thought ran through my mind as I heard his words, who cares about LA when you’re in San Francisco. I frowned as this line came up in my head. But that was my reality at the moment. “The usual. Windy as St. Anna’s winds are striking.” I said. “Other than that everything is fine.” I said. My voice was coming out more relaxed as the conversation flew. “I miss you.” He whispered. My heart jumped again. “Where are you?” I asked as I hear too many voices. “At the park with my kids, they’re playing and I am watching them.” I smiled, he loved his kids more than anything and I was glad he was spending some time with them. These little details again made me see how important he was to me. I wanted him to be ok and if he was ok I was ok too. “You didn’t call me…” I said, waiting for him to explain it to me. I knew what he was going to say but again saying I missed him was too much for me. “I thought you wanted to be on your own so I thought I’d me pulling your strings too much if I did.” James was simple and honest, I liked that in him. “Ade…” he called me as I dived myself in silence studying his words. I, myself, was running out of words to tell him as the true reason why I called him was stuck in my throat just waiting for the perfect moment to come out. I tried to gulped them down but I wasn’t that strong. “I was missing you.” I blurted and as I said the words I covered my mouth with my hand to prevent it to say anything more. I heard him giggle on the other side. “Wow…” He said. “That is so good to hear.” “I’m sorry if I am interrupting something but I just wanted to talk to you. I guess I got used to your company while on tour.” I tried to excuse myself. “You can call me any time Ade, you know that. I just didn’t do it because of the reasons I already told you but I also wanted to talk to you and it makes me really happy that you took the phone and called me anyway. So, what’s your plans for tonight?” “Nothing. I am gonna stay home tonight but tomorrow we’re going out with Connie and Lars, we’re going to this club, Lars says it’s cool, I’ve never been there, so we’ll see…” I told him. “Oh, really?” He asked. And so we talked on the phone for nearly 40 minutes. As I talked to him I felt my mood lightening up. He had that power and lately only he had that power, like I was dependent on him, after talking to him I just turned my TV on and stayed in bed watching “Gone with the Wind” for the ten thousand time. Next day was just a blur until the night arrived. I stayed home doing nothing until it was time to leave for the club. I hadn’t called James that day and neither did he that made me sad somehow, like I said I wanted to talk to him every day, or even, see him and be with him, which was even better. I missed his smile, the sound of his laughter. I missed his embarrassed gestures and his clumsy moves. I just missed him. I drove alone to downtown LA, according to my accounts I was already late and they all should be waiting for me already, all with their dates but me. I was going alone and for the first time in my life I felt lonely. I wanted a company, not any company but at least I wanted one, one I couldn’t have not that night, at least. The club was better looking than I expected. I’ve always pictured clubs as dark places filled with smoke and loud music playing, this one surprised me. As I entered the lobby I couldn’t but notice how the music was playing at the right beat. Not too loud, it was good to speak with your friends and the walls were painted in white, which is the opposite of the regular club and the violet lights gave it and extremely awkward but cozy environment. I saw Katy, Phil and Connie sat at one table under a balcony. A large table already with two bottles of champagne in it and they were all sat in white couches, it looked comfortable, almost like being at home in your own living room. I liked the place more and more. I noticed Lars missing though. “Where’s Lars?” I asked Connie as I greeted her. “He had at the last minute duty but he’ll be here later.” She said giggling. I noticed Katy giggling too but I didn’t have a clue of what it was. After greeting Phil I walked a bit until the pillar I had in front of me and leaned against it watching people talking joyfully amongst their friends, that place was indeed a nice one. I stood there for white long, lost in my own thoughts while the three of them talked among them, just when I saw Lars coming in. He smiled at me as he saw me, no he just threw me a huge, huge grin when he saw me, but again I didn’t find anything strange as Lars was always in a extremely good mood. “Hello.” He said placing two kisses in my cheek. “You couldn’t leave work behind even for a week.2 I teased him referring to his late appearance. “I wasn’t working. I just went to help a friend.” He said. Just as he said that a hand appeared above my shoulder holding a bottle of my favorite beer. “Why aren’t you drinking?” The voice behind me said. I knew that voice too well, plus the hand with an M81 tattooed on it was more than enough to know who was behind me. I turned around in no flat time with my heart racing a mile per hour. “James!” I shouted. I literally shouted. I looked above his shoulder and our group was all giggling but I didn’t care. All of a sudden the club was even brighter and pleasant. One single soul made that place perfect. The best place to be in huge town LA. James was there. “What are you doing here?” I asked not containing my surprise. “I missed you.” He said smiling. There it was, that smile I was missing more than anything, right in front of me. “You couldn’t wait a week?” I teased him but my lips were betraying me with a smile. He knew right there I was happy to see him too. James began to shake his head slowly. “No…” He said. I, finally took the beer off his hand and took a sip, my throat was dry. “No, I couldn’t wait.” He said. I looked into his eyes and threw myself onto his neck in a hug not caring if people were watching, not caring if our friends were watching and not giving a damn if the place was filled with paparazzi. The one person I wanted to be with was right in front of me and a hug seemed perfect. I wanted to feel his arms around me one more time. I wanted that safety feeling he gave me. “Not mad I break the week off?” He asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist. “Not at all.” I said honestly. “Not even one bit. Welcome.” “God, I missed you.” He whispered in my ear. There I felt another urge, the urge to kiss him but I refrained. Not in a public place and not with so many people watching. My lonely night turned out to be a wonderful night after all. We stayed there for hours, I had great fun. I laughed, I danced, I drank and I was a happy person. Happy like I’ve never been before and most of all I was glad that I got all dressed up for my night out, I wouldn’t like to be not well dressed with James there. After long hours we all decided to leave. James and I stood behind our group for a final talk. “Where are you staying?” I asked him. “At the Marriot together with Lars.” “So, you’re going with him.” I said. “Yes, I guess so.” James said. But none of us were certain of what we were saying. I didn’t want to leave him, not just yet. “James maybe Ade can give you a ride back to the hotel. We’re still going somewhere.” Lars shouted turning back to talk to us. I knew instantly they weren’t going anywhere, they were just arranging for us to be alone. I felt fear all of a sudden and I looked at katy for help. “Don’t look at me.” She said. “I am going to Phil’s place and it’s still a long drive, you can give James a ride.” James and I looked at each other a bit lost even though we knew what they were doing. Those little seconds where we stood in the middle of the street lost looking at each other the others stepped in their cars and just took off, waving us goodbye and they passed by us, we looked at each other again and burst into laugh. That was funny for sure. “Well, seems like I have to be the one driving you.” I said pressing the remote control to open the doors to my car. James got in and then so did I. We drove in silence, I don’t know why but we fell into deep silence during our way there, just when I parked in front of the hotel James opened his mouth to speak. “It was so good to see you.” He said. “Thanks for taking time off your kids to be here tonight.” I said. I could only thank him for his gesture, it sure was a nice one. “Would you like to come up for a bit, it’s not that late.” He invited. I took a glance at my watch, it wasn’t late indeed. Not caring if his invitation had other intention into it I just smiled at him and nodded. I wanted to be with him longer. “Alright. I just need to park my car.” James grabbed my hand and place a kiss on it. “Give the keys to the doorman, he’ll park it.” He said. The look in his eyes suggested he was going to try and make the next move. I threw caution in the wind and got out of the car giving the keys to the guy with a red suit and a funny hat. James grabbed my hand as we walked in the hotel. He was there with me and I just didn’t care what he was thinking, I just wanted to be with him. |
