Going Back To the Past

"Beep, Beep, Beep." the alarm went off.

Knowing what it meant I grabbed Vic as he laid back down from turning it off. He in return wrapped his arms around me and let out a deep breath. "You have to get up don't you?" I asked "Eventually" I laid my head on my chest, he began to trace cycles on my back.

We laid like this for about ten minutes before either of us spoke. "It's not going to before that long," Vic said in a soft calm voice. The way everything worked out he was going to be gone for only a few weeks. He had to leave earlier for San Diego than expected. There were some legal things that needed to be dealt with before they left the country. "Yeah, you're right, and we still have phones and Skype. It's going to be okay. Right?" I said as I looked up at him. he let out another deep breath "Yeah it is." Then pulled me into a tight hug.

" Well I hate to leave this but I need o get ready." Vic got up and left the room. I followed a few minutes later. Vic was in the shower, so I headed to the kitchen to make coffee. I would have made actual food for us but Vic likes to fly on a light stomach.

I turned on the TV and started to flip through the channels. It was almost 7 so the only thing on was the news and little kids shows. I left it on a News stating and pulled out my phone creeping through Facebook. After a while, Vic came out of the bathroom. "I made coffee, it's on the counter.' I informed him. He nodded and went into the kitchen.

He returned with a to-go cup and sat it on the coffee table and went to the bedroom to get his things. Soon he returned with a suitcase and a book bag. He sat both near the door and came to sit with me on the couch.

"When do you have to leave?" I asked
"Here in a few"

I scooted over to where he was and leaned on him. He opened my arms and cradled me.He then kisses my forehead. "We're going to be okay, this trip is nothing." He whispered into my ear.

"I know, but what about the next one?"
"Let's just work on this one, we are going to make it."

I looked up at him I could tell he was hopeful about the situation, I was too,to an extent. as cliche as it sounds it is true, dating a musician or really anyone who travels a lot, is hard. It scared me a lot, Vic was special to me. Ever since we were in high school he is all I wanted, Now that I have him I don't want to lose him.

"It's only two and a half weeks, that's not that bad right?"
"Yea and with Skype we will be able to see each other every day." Then his phone rang. "The cab is here.''

We both got up from the couch and hugged, for a long moment. After a kiss on the cheek, he was gone. I was left alone again in my apartment. Vic had only stayed with me for three weeks, but I still had gotten used to someone else being home with me.

I went to bed to wake up by a knock on the door. "that's weird" I thought to myself. I got up and answered the door. It was Mike, "Why didn't you just come in you have a key." I asked him.
"Not anymore I gave mine to Vic."
"Oh Yeah, What are you doing here?" He came in with a bag of taking-out and sat it on the coffee table.
"I brought you food, I also thought you could use the company."
"Thanks"

I went to the kitchen and grabbed 2 plates and forks for the two of use when I returned
he was setting out the takeout boxes.

"It's been awhile since we've done this," I said with a laugh
"Yeah, it has, I'd say over a month."
"I'm sorry about that I feel like I've been a shity friends lately."
" No you haven't Anna, You've just had a lot going on."

When we started eating Marks cell rang, he answered it right away, It was probably just his work or something. he excused himself to the kitchen to talk to whoever. I continued eating until I spilled sweet and sour sauce all over me and the floor. I went to the kitchen to get something to clean up the mess when I overheard marks conversation. "I was asking 125 I can't do 110. My new house is going to be 130." That was strange why was he moving he Had just bought a brand new house. I stood outside of the kitchen door until he hung up. at this point, I went in the Kitchen and said,"Shit, I spilled sweet and sour sauce all over me, so." He laughed and picked up the roll of paper towels, and tore off a few for me.

While cleaning myself off I asked who was on the phone, "Oh it was no one really, I'll tell you about it later."
"Why not now?"
"It's just not the right time , don't worry it's nothing."
"Are you sure? A new house doesn't seem like nothing."
"Damn it Anna were you ease dropping on me?"
"Not until I Spilled this shit all over me.'' I defended myself.
"I firm is moving, and I have to go with it. So I have to buy a new house."
"Oh where to?"
"LA"
"Great," I said in slightly Pissed off voice.
"I told you now was not the time to talk about it."
'When were you going to tell me?"
"After Vic came back, I thought If you saw how you could be away from him, the thought of me leaving wouldn't be that bad."
"When do you have to leave?"
"We open the new office in November. Depending on when I can find a place determines when I make the move."
