In The Clouds With Him

Ch 6 The Honest Truth

After Travis dropped me off, I walked up to my room. I was worried about calling Thomas, but I knew it would be the right thing to do. I needed to end it before things with Travis went too far.

As I plopped down on my bed as the phone started to ring, I was nervous about what I was going to say to Thomas.

"Hello?" a sexy female voice answered.

" Yes, can I speak to Thomas please?" wondering why a girl was answering his phone. I heard moaning and heavy breathing in the background and could only think of the worst.

"He's busy at the moment, I'll have him call you back later" she giggled then the phone went dead. Well my answers to where we stood in our relationship seemed pretty clear with that response.

I couldn't help but be annoyed by this whole situation, if he didn't want to be with me just be honest and tell me. I was planning on giving him that same courtesy but I guess it doesn't matter now. I phoned Bre to see what she thought and after I explained everything she said " Wow girl, well he definitely is back to being a playboy. I'm so sorry Jill, I thought what you had told me about him, he would have changed for you. I guess not."

"It's ok, I just wanted your thoughts, I've got to get up early for training in the morning. I'll talk to you later bestie, love ya girl!" I told Bre. " Love ya too girl. get some rest and kick ass!" She laughed then we hung up.

I just laid back down on my pillow and tossed and turned about tonight and how everything had changed so quickly. No matter what, I just couldn't be with Thomas. I cried into my pillow and fell asleep.

Ring, Ring, Ring...I was awoken by my phone and said," Hello?"groggily. I didn't even know who it was or what time it was but I was just hoping the conversation wouldnt take too long.

"Jillian, It's me Thomas," came the reply from my phone. I immediately woke up and got mad. " What do you want Thomas? Don't you know the time difference, you woke me up."

" I'm sorry Jillian but I had to call you as soon as I got my phone back. I met up with my ex girlfriend at the club and we came back to my place to hangout and then after she left she took my phone. "

" Well, I'm pretty sure it sounded like you two were back together earlier when I called so have fun with that. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

" Jillian what you heard was an accident, I didn't mean for her and I to get together tonight but it just happened. " he said sadly.

" Well I wish you would have been honest with me and just told me that we could be friends that way you can sleep around with whoever you like. " I said angrily. If he thought that I was just going to keep him around, he had a new thing coming. " Jillian, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I drank too much last night and we just got to talking. I really want us to work on our relationship."

Really?! I'm not even gone 3 days and he is back with his ex. I felt like now was the time to tell him that I couldn't do this anymore. " Thomas, you seem like a sweet person, but I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work between us. Let's just leave us as friends and no hard feelings ok?" I said.

" I guess if that's what you want Jillian. I understand and I truly am sorry about what happened earlier. "

" Ok, well I've got to get to bed, I have training in 4 hours. Talk to you later Thomas." and I hung up the phone. After that conversation, I luckily fell back asleep and tried to think about happier thoughts with Travis.

" Jillian, wake up!!" Monica shouted at me. " What's wrong?" I said. " We have class in 30 minutes get your butt in gear, we gotta go." She said as she rushed around the room trying to get dressed and making a mess in the process.

I jumped out of bed and hurried to the closet to find something quick to wear, skinny jeans, a flowy short sleeve top and ankle boots. I ran into the bathroom and brushed my hair, my teeth and quickly applied some makeup. By the time Monica and I finished, we had less than 5 minutes to spare to get into the classroom.

We just stepped out of the elevator when another colleague of ours, Sara ran into us. " Hey Monica and Jillian, which way are you headed? she asked. " We are going to 737 training this morning. We will get to tour the airplane and do some practice drills to get a better feel of it", I replied out of breathe.

" Great, thats where I'm going to as well, can I join you guys?" she asked. " Of course, you're just going to have to keep up though because we are running late." I replied.

So we all three ran down the hallway to the classroom and made it without a moment to spare. Our teacher for the day was, Mr. Henry. He had been a pilot for over 25 years for AMA and had extensive knowledge on all the aircraft. He gave us the more technical information about the aircraft so we would be more familiar with it. As our session was about to end, we were finishing up in the aircraft looking at the different items in the galley. I was making sure I memorized all the important details of where everything was to be placed and the proper procedures, when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind and wrapped their arms around me.

" Good Morning, Beautiful. I've missed you." said Travis as he bent down and started kissing my neck.

I turned around blushing, not expecting him to surprise me like this.

" What are you doing here?" I asked him in shock. "To see you of course. I told you Jillian, I want you and I want to know what your decision is about us." he said as he bent down to peck my lips. I couldn't think because his kiss made me feel like I was flying over the moon. He took me in his arms and I wrapped my hands around his neck to gain better access to his mouth. I opened my mouth and he forced his tongue in, dancing and moving so eloquently that I was about to hit the floor from becoming so dizzy from the euphoria. As we continued making out I heard footsteps getting closer and a voice saying, "Eh..hmm. Mr Sawyer."

We both broke away from our kiss, my face flushed from the heat that was radiating off of me. Uh-Oh I thought to myself, I'm in trouble now as I looked upon the person standing in front of us.
