| CHAPTER 18 |
| Dillan had waken up with ease, something she hasn't been able to do in a long time. She sighed with relief of not remembering any nightmares from last night's slumber. She turned over to AJ who was still sleeping. He looked so peaceful. His breathing rythyms calmed Dillan back to sleep. She closed her eyes and opened them to what felt like a second, she was greeted by AJ's beautiful eyes. He moved his hands to hers and held them in between their bodies. He kissed her hands and moved closer to her. Legs intertwined, holding hands, and foreheads together, the two fell back asleep. They didn't wake up until the maid mistook the room for being empty. Soon after Kevin knocked on the door telling them to get up and get packed because they will being leaving in an hour. Did they get up? Nah, they still slept. ~*~*~*~ Dillan called the detective to tell him another great deal of thanks. He informed her he was just doing his job. She'd also be getting served with papers to testify against the stalker. She hung up the phone and ran up the stairs to AJ who was still unpacking. She jumped on the bed and sat infront of where he was working. He stopped and looked at her. She smiled and moved out of his way. She giggled as she rolled over to reach the tv remote off the headboard. She turned on the tv and made herself comfortable on her stomach. As she flipped through the channels she would look over at AJ and smile which drove him crazy. "What," he said seeming very frustrated. She jumped up off her stomach and sat on her knees. She gave him a pout looka and then smiled. "He's gone!" She fell back onto the pillows and sprawled her arms and legs out. "He's gone," she repeated. "But I'm not," AJ said as he jumped onto her and began to tickle her. "AJ...hahaha...no, no...hahaha...please stop...AJ" She twitched and laughed with each poke he gave to her. The harder she laughed the more he tickled her. "AJ...stop...I'm gonna pee my pants...hahaha...no." She managed to gain some of the strength she had left in her to hold onto and stop AJ's fingers. He threw his hands up and collapsed next to her. Dillan turned onto her side. "When are you guys going back on tour?" AJ didn't want to be reminded. He covered his face with his hands and took in a deep breath. "About a month. At the end of November." "So you're not gonna be with me for my birthday?" "We'll figure something out. I promise. I'm gonna miss you so much." He took her hand and kissed her palm. The spot of the kiss made her flinch. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Its gonna fly by babe. It always does right?" He took a lock of Dillan's curly hair that was lying on the pillow and started to play with it. "True, but thats 90 days of no consecutive Dillan wake-ups, no Dillan food." He put the hair up to his face and peeked through making a funny face. "And especially no Dillan smiles." She laughed and smiled big. "I'll give you a special alarm clock with my wake-up on it. I'll send you a lunch. And I'll give you a picture with me smiling." He rolled his eyes at her remark. "None of it will ever compare to the real you, the live and in person kind. Speaking of lunch, lets go get some!" He grabbed Dillan's hand before she could agree and dragged her out of the room and downstairs. Chapter 19 Featured Stories Main Page |
