Right Where I Belong

Jimmy’s POV

I held the towel at my hips and opened the door but there wasn’t Elise as I thought.
It was Trisha. What the fuck does she want her?
She looked annoyed but when I had opened she had a big smile on her face.
“Jimmy, nice welcome! Haven’t seen you like that in a while. Can I come in?” She said and pushed her way in.
“No, honestly this is a real bad moment, my GIRLFRIEND will be here soon and I have something planned so would you please, just leave.” I really had no time for this, whatever it is what she wanted.
Trisha turned to me and I saw tears glistening in her eyes, Oh hell no!
“What is it?” I asked her.
Shit, my hair was still so wet that the water dropped down onto my shoulder and back which made me shiver.
“Jimmy… I like your outfit, but you can also get rid of the towel, I wouldn’t mind, as you know.” She winked at me and gone were the tears I had seen before.

I looked at my clock, shit Elise will be here in about an hour, I had to get rid of her, now.
“Listen, I don’t know why you are here, and I don’t really care. I just want you to leave.” I said and tried not to sound too desperate.
“Jimmy, don’t you want to know why I am here? Please, I need to talk to you…”
“Talk to me? About what? We haven’t seen us in years? Why would you want to talk now?” I asked her astonished.
“I had this amazing night with Syn, you know after the party… but on the next morning he just threw me out…” Trisha said and now she sobbed again.
Gods, this manipulative woman!
“Trish, you knew it. And you know Brian long enough to know that he is just a Fuck-Buddy to you. Sorry to break it down for you this way, but Brian is not looking for anything serious and when he calls you he just wants one thing from you. And you want the same apparently…”
“But…”
“Sorry, no buts. That’s it and it’s the truth and now, I really have to get ready and you need to leave.”
I got up walked towards her and pushed her gently towards the door.
“Trish, we had a good time years ago, but it’s over. I have a girlfriend, I love her. And I don’t want her to see you here…”
“Alright, thanks Jimmy. Maybe that was what I needed to hear. You were always a too nice guy.” Trisha said kissed my cheek and walked out without looking back.

I closed the door behind her and sighed, fuck that was close…
I walked back towards the bathroom, rubbed her lipstick of my cheek and tried to get ready, this time…

Only 30 minutes later the doorbell rang again, at least I had clothes on now. I wasn’t entirely ready but if that was Elise, I could handle it.



I opened the door and smirked but it still wasn’t Elise…

“Hey man, do you have a moment?” Johnny asked and looked as if it was really important.
I looked over to the clock… damn 30 minutes.
“Make it quick.” I motioned him to step in.
“You got something to do or what?” Johnny asked.
“Yeah pretty much. So make it quick or leave it for tomorrow.” I told him but he let himself drop onto the couch.

What was going on today that everybody thought he should stop by at my house?!
Did I have some sign on my house that said Please Stop here, Jimmy needs some interruption, or what?!
“So, what’s up?” I asked Johnny who was looking a little uncomfortable.
“I don’t know how to say it but… Jimmy, I am a little concerned.” Johnny said and looked at the floor.
“About what? Do you have problems with Lace?” I asked him and was confused.
“No no... nothing like that. I am concerned about you… you and Elise.” Johnny looked up to me with a frown.
“What? Why? Why would you be concerned?” I let myself plop down on the couch beside him.
“I don’t know, I talked to Brian but I wanted to talk to you, too.”
“Alright, but will you tell me now, what is going on?!” I asked him again.
“Yes, alright. So, the thing is I don’t recognize you anymore. I mean.. not the way you have been before. You were always this crazy guy and getting into trouble and having fun… But now since Elise you changed and I was concerned that you are… well that you have disguise yourself for being with Elise. And you shouldn’t need to act for a girl, I mean you are my best friend and I love you. You don’t need to act like someone else…” Johnny said and I stared at him disbelievingly.
What was he talking about?!
“I appreciate your concern for me but Johnny I don’t have to disguise myself for anyone and you as one of my best friends should know that I wouldn’t do that for anyone. Elise and I that just fits, I love her and she loves me. With her I don’t feel the need to be crazy and over the top… She makes me complete… that’s what you feel with Lace, isn’t it?!”
“Yeah, but I liked the crazy Jimmy. I mean… I am happy when you are… I just wanted to make sure that you are alright.”
“Damn JC I really appreciate it. But yes, I am more than alright. I love her and she loves me… and that doesn’t mean that I am not crazy sometimes… you know sometimes I just have to let the beast out of its cage...” I smirked.
“Alright, that sounds like a good middle way.”
“And let me tell you something else…” I continued, “After the last tour was done, I don’t know if you noticed but I was really down. I just knew something was wrong but couldn’t grab it… and then I met Elise and sharing with her this connection and the love, it pulled me out of this hole. I talked to Brian about it, he knew something was wrong, but I also couldn’t tell him what it was… no I know what I missed… my Elise, even if I didn’t know it before. And to live with her through so many first times, she still have to experiences even if it will costs me all my nerves like when she was drunk the first time on the party I love it… Can you understand it?” I asked him and I felt like I needed to say this needed to make him see how much Elise had done for me even if she didn’t know about it. I had to tell her, this evening… I really had to tell her everything.
“Wow, Jimmy… I didn’t know.. I didn’t know you had a hard time after the tour… You could have talked about it, I mean.. I am glad that it’s over, but you know, we were all there for you.”
“I know Johnny, I know.” I clapped him on the back.
“Alright. So you planned a special evening with Elise now?” He stood up and I looked at the clock again, 15 minutes.
“Yeah… I can’t wait. I just hope I can make everything right. You got some advice?” Really, did I just ask Johnny for an advice for woman?! But I guess he was the best choice and well he was there.
“Hmm… what did you plan?”
“Walk on the beach, reserved a table at the restaurant down the beach, well then we could walk back and then I have to improvise…” I told him.
“Sounds like a plan to me. Just tell her what you told me right now… she will be wax in your hands. I was, you know?” Johnny laughed and I smacked the back of his head.
“You guys can never be serious, can you?” I asked him with a laugh.
“And you love us for that…” Johnny said and now walked towards the door.
“Yeah, now get the fuck out!”
“Alright, alright… have fun!” Johnny closed the door behind him.
I looked in the mirror then again looked at the prepared bedroom. Everything was ready, I was ready now I was waiting only for Elise.
