1107 Words
"Yeah, I was back home.. my dad had a heart attack.." he looked at me like I should have known this.
"Wait what?" I said beyond confused.
"I left you a note... by the coffee pot when I had to leave that morning, I also texted you.." he dropped his head into his hands. "You didn't get either of those things did you?" I shook my head no.
"Tommy didn't say anything to me either.. I honestly had no idea... I-- oh f**k I messed up." I said thinking about the night I drank with Jane and posted risqué photos with her. Because we kinda fooled around that night too. Dropping my head into my hands now.
"He was supposed to. And what do you mean you f****d up? I was the one who f****d up when I didn't make sure you knew what I was doing, I just thought you were giving me time with my family.." he looked over at me, his head still propped up in his hand and he had his elbows resting on his knees.
"No, I f****d up worse then that... wait you didn't see on i********: or f*******:?" I asked wishing I had just kept my mouth shut now.
"No, I didn't pay attention to my phone once I made it back to my hometown why?" He asked sitting up straighter. Now I knew to really keep my mouth shut, because I didn't want to tell him. "Arizona what did you do?" He looked at me quizzically, I just shook my head. "Fine don't tell me I will just look for myself." He grabbed his phone and stood up. He pulled up my i********: first, his hand automatically covered his mouth and he looked at me. Then he looked at the photos Jane posted. "You.. you slept with Jane didn't you?" I nodded. He threw his phone back onto the bed and started pacing.
At this point I was starting to vibrate the last time someone was upset with me like this I ended up in the hospital and I was waiting to just get out of here so I took his jacket off and placed it on the bed. Getting up I wanted to walk out the door.
"Why?" He asked looking sad.
"I was upset and drunk, I honestly had no idea what happened and I just thought you left me there after having a one night stand.." I said and looked down not knowing what else to say besides that, which was the truth
"You really thought I had just left after that amazing night we had?" His hand was running through his hair. I nodded and right then I felt stupid. "Ah f*** baby, I didn't mean to leave like that I really thought you would've seen the note or at least get my text." His hair was now a complete mess after he ran his hands through it more, also there he went again with calling me baby, maybe he did feel the same things I felt.
"I can't believe I had it all wrong.." I said "I am so sorry Morgan I shouldn't have slept with Jane.." I sat back down on the bed. He stopped his pacing and sat back down next to me.
"Its not all your fault. I should've called to make sure you got my texts," he reached out to hold my hand.
"I had so many feelings for you but when I woke up that morning and realized you were gone and left no trace my heart shattered. I really thought you just left like nothing happened." I looked over at him then down at our hands where he was playing with my fingers.
"Oh Arizona, if you only knew what was going through my head after that night with you, but I was so focused on getting to the hospital to see my dad, that I forgot to tell you how I was feeling," he let go of my hand and wrapped his arm around me to pull me closer to him. I leaned into him and felt my safe place consume me. At this point I was starting to get tired, especially since my mind was on over drive with all the emotions running through it.
"What were you feeling?" I asked and cuddled a little closer.
"Well its not so much as what I was feeling its what I'm still feeling and its that I want to do what we did again many many more times and I want to take you out. And repeat my self over and over again telling you about how big of a crush I have on you," he chuckled and I copied.
"Well what are you waiting for then cowboy?" I said and leaned back onto his bed slightly dragging him with me. He spent the next time whispering sweet nothings in my ear, about how much he liked me and how much he felt the connection to me. I said a few sweet nothings myself. I sat up slowly after getting the urge to use the restroom.
"Where's the restroom?" I asked and he pointed to the door right across the hall from his bed room. I got off of the bed and went to do my business coming back a minute later to Morgan sitting up in his bed in a pair of pajama pants and nothing else. I looked down at my clothes I had worn to the bar wondering what I should wear to bed. "Um Morgan you don't happen to have something else for me to wear to bed do you?" I said and he looked up from his phone.
"Go ahead and look in the top drawer there should be something in there you can wear," he smiled and went back to his phone. I looked in the top drawer it had shirts, running shorts, and sweats. I moved things around a little and then picked out an old looking police academy shirt that was about to become a dress. I looked back over my shoulder to see Morgan still on his phone so I changed quickly, though I don't know why especially since he has seen everything before. When he finally looked up I was just standing there in my underwear and his shirt. He patted the bed next to him and I climbed in.
"I think its bed time," he fixed himself so he was laying down and I laid down in his open arms. Within 10 minutes we had both fallen asleep.
