What If I Do?

Chapter 5: Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

June 14th, 1991

"I wish I could come," I said as Dave packed his bag.

"It's two days and I'm sure you won't want to come back to being with me after spending time at your aunts," Dave replied.

"Don't get me wrong, I love that big beautiful house and all the things that come with old family money but I love being with you. I'm going to get my damn passport so I can be with you on my birthday," I said as I crawled over to the end of the bed where Dave was.

"You want to live on the road and out of a bag just so you can torture me with no sex?' Dave asked as I sat on my knees beside his bag.

"You'll get it one day. You gotta let me get used to one thing at a time. It's just all new and confusing and I'm working through shit. I love being with you though. I don't care where we are or if my clothes are in a drawer or bag," I replied as I stood up on the bed and started jumping a bit. Dave walked over to the bed and grabbed me before I could jump again and I fell to my knees on the bed in front of him.

"You amaze me everyday. I already can't wait to come back and see you. We're having lunch with her today right?" he asked after he kissed me.

"Yes sir we are. We're going to that big old house of hers," I replied as he lifted me off the bed and put me on the floor.

"Well as much as I love seeing you in your panties and my tshirt, you should probably get dressed. Your aunt might not approve," Dave said as he let go of me and zipped up his bag. I bent down and picked up my jeans.

"My aunt Jane wouldn't care what I wore. Plus I kind of only have my jeans. We left my stuff with her," I said as I put my jeans on. Dave wrapped his arms around me from behind before I could take his shirt off.

"You can keep the one you're wearing. You wear it more than I do at this point,"Dave said before he kissed my neck and let go of me.

"Yay best boyfriend ever," I replied as I jumped up and down and clapped my hands like an excited 5 year old.

"How'd I get a girlfriend like you?" Dave asked as we grabbed our stuff and left the room.

"Good question. I wonder myself sometimes. I'm quite the catch mister," I replied with a huge smile as he took my hand. We headed down the hallway to the elevator.

"That you are. I'm a lucky one for sure," he said back. I pushed the button once we got to the elevator and we waited.

"I'm lucky too you know that right?" I asked as the doors opened and we walked in. I pushed the lobby button and the doors closed.

"Really now? How are you lucky?" he asked as we looked at each other.

"You seem to get me and understand me. You're also a really good kisser and you're extremely patient with me. Oh and you don't get mad when I pull away during our make out sessions," I replied and the doors opened. My aunt was waiting for us in the lobby. We walked over to her as she was talking to some guy in a suit.

"Hey aunt Jane," I said and she turned to look at us.

"Hey sweetie. It was was great seeing you Harold. We'll talk soon. Are you two ready to come spend the afternoon at my place? I'll make sure you're back in time for the show David," my aunt asked as we walked out to her car.

"Ya I guess we are. Thanks for letting Britt stay with you while I'm in Tijuana," Dave replied.

"She's my only sister's only child. How could I say no. We'll spend the next two days getting drunk by the pool. We'll also smoke lots of the happy stuff as my Penny calls it. I'll take good care of her while you're gone," my aunt said as we got into the car.
