Surprises

Waking up this morning I notice I’m alone and Jaime never said anything about having to go anywhere today. I get up and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth before going to the front room to see if Jaime is even in the house, I stay in just panties and a tank top since I’m probably home alone. “Hime?” I call out as I round the corner of the hall into the living room not expecting to see Mike and Kate talking with Jaime in the living room. Their conversation abruptly stops when they see me. “Uh, hey guys. I’ll be right back,” quickly I walk back to our room to put shorts on along with a bra under my shirt. I move back to the living room and once again their conversation stops as soon as they see me. “Do you guys want me to leave or something? I’ll go if you don’t want me.” I kind of trail off as the thought of being unwanted enters my mind.
“No, we’re just heading out,” Kate says as she and Mike stand and walk toward the door. “Bye guys, talk to you later.” Mike waves and they’re gone. I take a seat in the armchair instead of going to sit with Jaime. I pull my knees to my chest, ‘You’re worthless and no wants you,’ is the thought that keeps circling in my mind. I sit here staring at nothing, zoning off because of my thoughts.
“Haley are you okay?” I subtly shake my head at Jaime, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you still want me?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“Jaime, I’m serious. Do you still want me?” I’m too scared to look at him when he comes over and gets down on his knees in front of my chair.
“I’m serious too Hales. Why would you think I don’t want you? I want you more than anything. I hate having to leave on tour because I won’t be able to fall asleep to you and then wake up to you. I can’t even explain all the ways I want you. Is it because they left so quick? We were just talking about tour and if Kate would wanna stay here sometimes so you won’t have to be alone. Don’t ever think I don’t want you or that they don’t want you. Trust me babe. They love you. But I love you more and you’re mine and I’m not going to lose you.”
Tears slide down my face, “I’m sorry, Jaime, I’m..” I trail off, unable to speak from crying.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about Haley, it’s okay. I know that if you have a thought like that then it’s not going to leave for a while. It’s okay, I love you and I want you. We all do. Please don’t think that we don’t.” Our eyes meet as he reaches up and wipes a tear from my face and he stands, “I’m so sorry that I made you feel like that.”
“It’s not your fault Hime,” I say as I stand up and he quickly pulls me to him pressing his lips to mine then leads me to the kitchen. I’m sitting on the counter, watching my boyfriend make us breakfast and he swats my hand away when I try to grab pieces of the cooked hash browns and bacon. “Don’t expect me to not try to steal some of it when you let me sit here so hurry up cause I’m hungry.”
“You’re actually hungry for once? You haven’t been hungry for a while now,” He says giving me a confused look.
“Is it bad that I’m hungry? You always make me eat anyways.”
“Nope, it’s a good thing.” Jaime turns his attention to the pancakes in the skillet so I reach for a piece of bacon and take a bite out of it before he can stop me. He takes the done pancakes and places one on one plate and the rest on another along with hashbrowns and a piece of bacon and hands the plate with less food to me, knowing I won’t eat much.
We’re nearly done eating when I speak, “I want to paint the house. I think I should do it while you’re gone so I’d have something to do.”
“What colors?”
“I really don’t know yet. I just don’t like the white. Feels like the hospital. The colors could be a surprise for when you get home,” I give him a huge grin, finally able to smile after my thoughts earlier, it shows him how excited I actually am to do this.

So it’s Wednesday morning and I’m stuck at work, on the morning of my birthday. Usually I love being here but it’s been such a slow morning, and speaking of this being the morning of my birthday no one has said anything about my birthday so I’m guessing they don’t remembers. Anyways, barely anyone has come in so I’m just sitting here going through the music on the laptop we have hooked up to the stores speakers. I settle on Adam’s Song by Blink-182. I have a 7 hour shift and I’ve been here an hour and I’m bored out of my mind. It’s too early for this, why did I even have to come in at 7 this morning. I just want to be with Jaime, tangled in the sheets of our bed.
I turn the music up past the normal volume we have in the store as I switch the music to Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World. No one’s in here but me so why the hell shouldn’t I play what I want. I take the acoustic guitar from the back office to the front of the store, I’d stay in the back if I weren’t the only one working. Sitting on the stool behind the cashier counter I begin to play, well saying ‘play’ might be exaggerating a little. I’m barely learning to play and Jaime thinks I’m strange because I can’t remember the strings by name or even chords plus I’ll try to play this song while listening to a completely different song. I just pick a song and begin to learn it by watching and writing down the tabs. It never works out when I try to learn a song any other way.
I play Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World somehow remember finger placement and the strum patterns. Slowly I’ve been getting to the right tempo of the song. Jaime’s been making me sing too, something I would never do on my own, my singing takes place in the shower or when it’s just me and Jaime or when I’m alone like this. My voice will never be comparable to his. His voice is so damn beautiful that it’s near impossible to describe. My fingertips are so damn raw now, I’m still getting used to holding down the strings and moving into different notes and this is the first song that I’m learning, all others I tried I spent an hour on then gave up.
When I get hungry I realize that I’ve been playing guitar for 4 hours. No wonder why my fingers hurt. Just realizing I forgot to bring an actual lunch I pull the trailmix from a drawer in the counter. Face it, most of us that work here are lazy and get hungry so why not have food stashed away. When it reaches the end of lunch hour a girl named Jessica comes in for the beginning of her shift so I just sit around doing nothing, basically what I’ve done all day, I only have one hour left anyways.
The hour passes a lot quicker than I thought it would and I see Jaime park outside the shop as I’m clocking out. I wave bye to my co-worker and exit to be with Jaime. Jaime gives me a quick kiss as a hello and opens my door for me before going around the car to get in the drivers seat. I push a CD into the stereo and blast You Should Have Killed Me When You Had the Chance by A Day to Remember and sing along to it as he drives. Jaime shrugs off the questioning glance I give him. Shortly we pull into a parking lot for a tattoo parlor.
“Hime, are you getting a new tattoo?”
“No,” He replies as we get out of the car.
“What are we doing here then?”
“You’re getting that tattoo you’ve wanted. Happy birthday, baby.” His smile grows when he sees the surprised and speechless expression on my face. Jaime pulls me into the parlor where we meet the tattoo artist and my boyfriend hands him a paper with the picture of the tattoo I want along with an explanation of how I want it since it’s not going to be exactly the same as the picture. We wait in one of the rooms that has a table instead of a chair. The guy comes back with a template of a gorgeous tree for my right side. I have to lay on my left side with no shirt on so there’s full access to my side. At first it feels awkward to lay here like this but once the tattooist begins the tattoo and starts talking to us I get more comfortable, he’s actually extremely nice.
Nearly 4 hours later I’m walking out of the parlor and getting into the car, my tattoo is so beautiful. I couldn’t be more happy. I’ve thanked Jaime a million times now along with saying I love him. “So where to now?” I ask as we drive.
“Time to go home,” He replies, I can tell somethings up with him. There’s that look in his eyes that he gets any time he lies. He hands me a scarf that’s been folded into a makeshift blindfold, “Put this on babe, I’m too lazy to wrap your presents. No peeking.” I laugh and do as he says.
