Out of Nowhere

he was doing.  He just knew he wanted to do it.  So, he did “Well, the cell phone that you are speaking on is yours.  I noticed you didn’t have one and I’d like you to be able to call me anytime you need anything.”  Vicky was getting tense.  She didn’t want him giving her things and was all set to protest but Jason rushed on “before you say no, I’d like to be able to keep in contact with you as well.  This phone is more for me than it is for you”. Vicky relaxed but just a little “JK, you didn’t have to do this.  I have a phone at home.  I can’t really afford a home phone and a cell phone”.  Vicky didn’t realize it but Jason was about to do some heavy duty spoiling.  He’d just realized it himself.  Most women asked for what they wanted but that didn’t seem to be Vicky’s style and it made him want to do things for her even more.  “Vicky, I didn’t ask you to pay for the cell phone.  I want you to have it.  I’d like to be able to talk to you whenever you’re available so it’s only fair that if I want you to have the phone I should pay for it.  I’ve programmed all of my telephone numbers in it so anytime you need me you should be able to reach me.” Vicky smiled to herself thinking it can’t be too bad to let him do this for her especially since the take away was he wanted to continue to talk to her.  Hopefully, last night wasn’t an end.  It was the beginning. “Now, the second item in the box is a set of keys.  They are the keys to my rental car.  Before, you get all proud and start protesting, remember I wasn’t supposed to be flying out of there until Monday morning.  I’d already paid the bill just like with the hotel. It would have been a waste of money to turn the car back over to the rental place when you need transportation.  Please take advantage of not having to take the bus.  Everything at the hotel that you want or need has been paid for and I mean anything that you want just charge it to the room.  I saw some really cool toys in one of the shops at the hotel that Angel might like and maybe you’d like to get a massage or something.  Whatever it is you girls like to do, do it.”.  Before Vicky could tell him she couldn’t accept his gifts he claimed he had an important business call coming through on his other line “Vicky, I’ve got another call coming through that I have to take.  I’ll call you later this afternoon” and just like that Jason hung up.

Vicky didn’t know what she was going to do with herself.  Well, yes she did.  She was going to take Jason’s advice and order herself a massage.

Chapter 7

Jason disconnected the call with Vicky before she had a chance to tell him she wasn’t going to accept his generosity.  He really did have another call coming through though.  He answered the call before checking the caller i.d.  It was Bridget.  “Jason, you’ve finally answered your phone.  I’ve been calling you for the last few days.  Where have you been? I guess you were too busy to call your girlfriend.” Jason had just made it into the house from the airport.  He couldn’t wait to call Vicky before he showered.  He didn’t call her from the airport because it was too early and he didn’t want to wake her up.  Jason felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been poured all over him when he heard Bridget’s voice. “Bridget, I’ve been really busy.”.  There was a long pause before either of them spoke. Bridget was the first to break “I’ve missed you.  We need to talk”.  With a deep sigh and a hand swipe across his face Jason agreed “Bridget we do need to talk.  Right now I just walked in from the airport and I need a shower.  Maybe we can get together later on tonight for dinner at Charlie’s restaurant.  How does 7pm sound?”.  Bridget accepted and they disconnected. She wasn’t happy that it didn’t seem as though he’d missed her.  She had hoped that she could come over today, he would apologize and that they would have make-up sex.  Why hadn’t he proposed to her already?  She knew he had the ring.  What was he waiting on?

Right after Jason got out of the shower and changed his clothes his phone rang again.  Seems like everyone wanted to call him all at the same time.  This time it was his dad “Son, just wanted to let you know that your mom and I got back last night.  We wanted to give you a call to let you know”. He could hear his mother in the background saying hello to him.  “Jason, I, uh also have a couple of things I need to talk to you about as well.  Think you can be here in about an hour or so?”.  Jason didn’t like his dad’s tone.  That tone always accompanied news he didn’t want to hear.  All Jason really wanted to do was crash.  He hadn’t really gotten much sleep in the last 24 hours.  That made him smile thinking about why he hadn’t had much sleep.  He wished he could have stayed for the weekend because he couldn’t get how good it was between him and Vicky out of his mind.  Just thinking about her was making him excited.  “Jason?” “Yeah, sorry dad I got a little distracted but I’m still here.  I’ll see you in about an hour.”

Chapter 8

Jason made it to his parent’s home right on schedule.  They lived in a gated community.  As he drove up the winding driveway he noticed there was a lot of activity going on
