Part 12
(Glad to see you.)

    I stepped off the plane to see Jonathan signing a piece of paper for some girl. He saw me and waved. I couldn't stop myself from turning red and smiling.
     "Glad to see you," he says smiling at me.
     "Yeah, so what now?" I can't stop watching the girls stare Jonathan.
     "Lets get your stuff and I'll show you around."
     "Your Mom called me three times. I think you should call her." He hands his cell phone to me and laughs. "I think she is having a break down."
     I call her and he was right, she was having a break down. She was so scared when I called her I couldn't even understand her.
     We left the airport and about 25 minutes later, pulled into Jonathan's drive way.
     "This is your house?" I asked staring at the big house.
     "Yeah. My Mom lives here, too, and so does my brother most of the time," he says as he grabs my stuff out of the car and walks to the front door.
     "I think your living room is bigger than my own house." I didn't mean that as a joke but Jonathan laughed thinking it's a joke.
     "You're staying in the guest room, is that okay?" He sat my stuff down and leaned on the wall.
     "Yeah it's OK." Not as good as your room. Wait don't even think it, you could say it.
     "Want a tour?" he asked.
     "Sure."
     After I seen his house and how nice it was I asked, "What are we going to do?"
     "What do you want to do?" he asked.
     "I don't know. You live here not me," I said rolling my eyes.
     "True. Do you -" He heard someone pulling up and he looked out the window. "That's my Mom."
     "OK." I started thinking, what if she hates me?
     A few seconds later she walks in. "Hi. Who is this?" she asked staring at me.
     "Jessica. The girl I met in Kentucky." The girl, that's all I am. That sucks.
     "Oh yeah, I remember," she said as she opened the back door, letting in the dog. "It's nice to have you here."
     "Jessica, this is Mac," Jonathan said.
     "He won't bite," Jonathan's mom says as this dog runs over to me.
     "He's cute," I said, petting him.
     "Well, I am going to go put this stuff in my room," she says, and walks up the stairs.
     "Your mom is nice," I pointed out.
     "Your mom let you come all the way here to stay with me for a few days. I think that pretty nice." Man, he is smart. He found the one thing that makes my mom nice.
     "Okay, whatever." I just smiled and refused to agree. I pause hoping he thinks of what to do.
     "I was going to invite a few of my friends over tonight and just watch some videos, you okay with that?" he asked, walking into the living room.
     "Sounds fun. It's what I do every night in Kentucky watch television."
     "OK, you and me can go rent some movies in a few minutes.." He picked up the phone and I walked to the hall to look at pictures.
     "You were a cute baby," I saed when he walked up behind me.
     "Thanks, ready to go rent some movies?"
     "Yeah."
     "Mom we are going to rent a few movies," Jonathan hollers up the steps.

     When we get to the video store, we start in the drama and soon end up in the comedy area.
     "So what type of movies do you like?"
     "Comedy, horror and, well, anything with you in it," I said picking up Man of the House.
     "With me? That would be Disney movies," he said laughing.
     "What about Liar Liar? Do you like Jim Carrey?" I asked picking up the movie.
     "That's one of the funniest movies ever."
     "Want to get it or what?" I asked.
     "Sure." He took the case and looked over it.
     "Who is your favorite actor?" he asked.
     "Umm, well, I guess..." I tried to answer him, but he cuts me off.
     "Next to me," he laughed.
     "Oh, in that case, next to you, I guess Tom Hanks." He knew I wanted to say him. "Did you see Joe Versus the Volcano? Not one of his best, but then again not one of the worst."
     "Yeah it was okay. What about big?" he asked pointing to the case.
     "It was funny. Did you see Punchline with Sally Field?" Okay now this is a game to see who knows more about Tom hHanks.
     "Yeah I've seen it. I bet you have never seen The Burbs or Turner and Hooch," he challenges me.
     "Oh really, do you want to bet?" I laughed. "First of all, Turner and Hooch was way better. I mean that ugly dog and that sad ending. And as for that movie, The Burbs was the first and only mistake Tom Hanks made. It was a weird movie."
     "You win. Forrest Gump was a great movie," he said trying to make a come back.
     "Over-rated, I mean it was great but why did people make it sound like a-to-die-for movie?"
     "That Tom Hanks-thing we just did; I don't think I could do that with any other person in the world," he said, laughing.
     "Yeah, want to get a Tom Hanks movie?" I asked.
     After what we just went "I am tired Of Tom Hanks." We both laughed.
     "We can watch this one and maybe something on television or one of my movies," he said as we walked to check out.
     "Okay."
     We drive back to his house and sit outside in his backyard talking.
     "We have about an hour before they come over," Jonathan said, sitting next to a big in-ground swimming pool.
     "Hey guess what movie we forgot to say with Tom Hanks?" I started laughing just waiting.
     "Uhh, what movie?" He turned his head.
     "SPLASH!!!" I said splashing him.
     "Oh, I get it," he said splashing me back.
