That's the Way ~ The Story Remains the Same Sequel

Chapter Eight

It was finally June and Jimmy's due back any day. I just can't wait to see him again. It feels like forever since he's been gone. However, we won't see each other again for god knows when. I have the two and a half month tour while Jimmy has an album to record plus go on tour for whatever amount of months. I'm sure we'll still call each other. For our tour were going to a couple countries in Europe then spend a month and a half in the States plus Canada and Mexico with the Who. Dennis got us to open up from them. That means I get to hang out with Keith and do stupid shit with him.

            In May, we had released Make Room and Creep as singles. They both been playing on the radio all the time. Make Room is actually on number four under American Woman. The whole album is number three. Pretty good if you ask me. I'm pretty pleased with were we are at.

            I was sitting in my living room reading Catcher in the Rye yet again. Let me tell you, Holden Caulfield is a tiny bit of a bitch in my opinion. I like the way the book is written, the plot but I can't stand Holden. It's a great book but he complains a way too much. I took a sip of my cup of almost gone tea and wrapped myself up again in one of Jimmy's cardigans. I had to go to his house a couple times to water his plants and get his mail so while I was there I took on of his cardigans. I do have to say. Not having to go into the studio and spend a whole Saturday is the best. I'm really relaxed to the point where I feel like jelly. I was listening to David Bowie's self-titled album. I just don't know if this day can get better.

            It was now two thirty and I was almost done with Catcher in the Rye when the doorbell rang. I folded the page that I was reading to go answer the door. I wrapped the cardigan up around me and folded my arms around me to hold it in place. The doorbell rang again. Geez does anyone not have any patience? I opened the door not to bother with seeing who was there first. Arms wrapped around me gently and someone's lips planted upon mine. I opened my eyes and saw it was Jimmy. I was so thrilled to see him. Our lips hungry for kisses. He pulled away.

            "God I missed you" he smiled running his hand down my head.

            "I miss you two." I smiled back, "Why don't you come in?"

            "I just may" he said before heading in, "Is that my cardigan?"

            "Mayberry." I giggled closing the door.

            When I faced him again he swept me right of my feet. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him.

            "Have you lost weight?" he asked between kisses.

            "Somebody else said that not too long ago. Why?"

            "No reason."

            "Well, have you grown a beard?"

            "You like it?"

            "I love it my grizzly bear." I patted his beard.

            "Grizzly bear?" he asked.

            "Yes." I kissed him one last time before getting off of him, "Go sit in the living room while I'll go make you a cup of tea."

            "Can I have Coffee instead?"

            "Sure."

            I went into the kitchen to make him some coffee. The coffee brewed quicker than usual but I'm not complain. I made my cup up before Jimmy's.

            "How do you want your coffee? Like your tea or what?" I yelled asked from the kitchen.

            "Cream and three sugars" he answered. I quickly made his coffee and walked into the living room carrying both cups. The record stopped playing even though it wasn't done.
