“I want to talk to her!” Kevin calls to her and it takes everything out of me not to scream that I want to also.
Michelle comes back in, cradling her phone against her shoulder with her wallet in her hand. “Of course, you can use my Hilton points. I don’t remember my account information to book the room though. Babe, Whitney is checking into a hotel. I think you’re logged into the account on your phone, can you book her a room?”
“On it,” he says staring down at his phone and I wish she’d come to me but I understand why she couldn’t and it’s not like we’ve been able to talk. But I’m grateful that if she’s checking into a hotel that means she’ll be alone when we talk later. My cock hardens slightly at the thought of being able to speak freely to each other. “I’m glad she’s getting a room, I don’t want her staying overnight at the hospital by herself.”
“She said they won’t let her. They’re still a little strict with visiting hours.” Kevin holds up his phone for Michelle to see and she speaks. “Honey what’s the address, we need a cross street at least to make sure it’s the right hotel.” She points at the phone. “That one.”
I look at my watch and note it’s almost one in the morning there. “It’s one in the morning there, how is she getting to the hotel? Is it far?”
“Hold on.” She puts the phone down. “Whitney, you’re on speaker and Jacob is here being your third parent as usual.” I try not to react to that. “How far is the hotel and how are you getting there?”
“It’s across the street, I’m walking.”
“At one in the morning!?” I yell. My hands shake slightly and I feel myself getting worked up at the thought of someone messing with her.
“Across the street, JP. Literally.”
“Stay on the phone with us until you get there,” I order her.
“Fine,” she responds and I can hear the fatigue in her voice.
“Are you okay?” Michelle asks.
“I’m tired. Really tired,” she says and I can hear the sounds of New York City through the phone.
“Alright hon, you’re booked,” Kevin says.
“Thank you, guys.”
“Of course. When are you coming home?” Michelle asks.
“They’re saying they may be able to release him tomorrow now which would be great. I don’t want to miss too many classes. I’ve already let my professors know what’s going on and they’re understanding, but it’s law school, that only goes so far.” She sighs. “I lost a whole day and I never finished my paper. I got an extension until Wednesday but I hate feeling behind.”
“Sweetheart, you sound like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, I need you to take a breath,” Michelle says. “Take a bath when you get in the room.”
Take a bath and call me from there.I think to myself.I know a way to take your mind off of all of this.
“Alright, I just got inside the hotel. I’m safe.”
“When you get to the room,” I say.
“Huh?” she asks.
“We’ll wait until you get to the room,” I tell her and Kevin nods emphatically.
“Guys…”
“No, Jacob is right. What if someone is lurking in the hallway or something?” Michelle says.
“Fine. Not a whole lot of good you guys will do for me in California though.” She grumbles and I already know just how I’m going to get rid of her bad mood. The thought pisses me off that she’s right in that I can’t protect her from here.I should have gone with her. Fuck.“There’s a line. How was your guys’ date anyway? JP getting married anytime soon?”
Not to anyone but you,my mind thinks automatically.
Michelle snorts. “Not to Georgina, he behaved like a jerk.”
“Thanks.” I roll my eyes.
“Oh…?” Whitney says and I hate that she’s about to find out this information without letting me have some fun with her first.
