Don't Leave Me, chapter 7
~*~Natalie's POV~*~
When I woke up the next morning, I looked at Billie Joe who was still sleeping. I smiled when i remembered what happened last night. As quietly as possible, I got out of the bed and slipped on the first articles of clothing i saw. I made my way downstairs, where I was immediatly greeted by Jimmy.
"Hey buddy!! Are you hungry? I'll get you some food" I said while petting him. I got up and went over to the pantry where his food was. I took out the dish we had bought for him yesturday and filled it up with his puppie chow. He followed me with a watering mouth the whole time.
"Here you go!" I said and set down on the ground.
"You sound crazy talking to that dog" I heard Billie Joe smirk. He kinda scared me. I didn't know he was there. He came up from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder. I smiled to myself.
"Well, I have to feed him. And he is so cute! How could you not talk to him?" I said. Billie laughed.
"True. You have a valid point there" He said. His arms were still wrapped around my waist.
"See, I may sound crazy. But I'm not" Billie Joe chuckled.
"Oh, and by the way, nice pants" He said. I looked down at my legs. Oops, I was wearing Billie's jeans. I laughed.
"I thought they felt a little to big to be mine" I said.
"At least you managed to put on your shirt, and not steal mine!" He joked. I took a look at him. He was wearing just his boxers.
"Fine. If you want your pants back so bad, here you go!" I said and pulled them off my body. I still had my underwear on. Billie Joe laughed. I walked past him and up the stairs and into the bedroom. My pants were lying on the ground. I quickly put them on, and turned around to walk out the door. Billie Joe then walked into the room. He picked his shirt off the ground and put it on.
"Should we start to train Jimmy today?" He asked me.
"Yeah, probably. We should if you don't want to step in any more piles of shit" I said and laughed. He smiled.
"You ruined my shoe, I hope you know" He said.
"Then my job here is done" I joked. He laughed. We went downstairs. Jimmy still had his face stuffed in his food dish.
"I guess he was hungry." Billie Joe said, looking at Jimmy.
"I know" I replied. We sat down at the table.
"Natalie, I know that I haven't really known you that long. But, I'v spent almost everyday with you, and I can't emagine my life without you anymore. So, I wanted to know if you would be willing to move in with me?" He said nervously. I just stared at him for a minute. I was unable to speak. I was so happy, and i didn't now what to say. I was completly shocked.
"Yes! I would love to!" I said and leaped into his arms. He smiled.
"I was so scared that you would say no" He said and kissed me.
"You made me an offer I couldn't in a million years refuse!" I said. He smiled and kissed me again. Jimmy barked, jerking me and Billie Joe out of our thoughts.
"Let's start to train him now, then later we can get some of your stuff." Billie suggested. I nodded in agreement.
The day was long. It was alot harder then I thought it would be to train Jimmy. I know that it will take a long time until he will actually go outside to go to the bathroom, and stop chewing on our things. But it is worth it. He is so cute. I still can't believe this is all happening!
At about 8:00pm, we drove to Maggie and Rachel's house. It feels so weird saying that it's not mine anymore. But anyway, when we got there, it was just Maggie and Rachel.
"Hey guys" I said when I saw them.
"Hi, where's Jimmy?!" Rachel asked looking around for him. We still hadn't told them that i was no longer going to be living with them. Me and Billie Joe looked at eachother and smiled.
"Well, he's at Billie Joe's house" I said.
"Why? Rachel told me Billie Joe got him for you?" Maggie said looking confused.
"He did. Billie Joe asked me this morning, if I wanted to...move in with him" I said happily. Maggie and Rachel looked at me with shocked expressions on their faces. Billie Joe took my hand and held it.
"Aww!" Rachel finally said.
"I'm so happy for you guys!" Maggie added.
"You guys are acting like we are getting married!" I said. We all laughed.
"We are just happy to get you out of the house...for good" Rachel joked. I gave her an evil look. Maggie laughed.
"Oh, thanks you guys! I'll really miss you too!" I said sarcasticly.
"You know we are just kidding! We will miss you. Even though we will see you alot." Maggie said and hugged me.
"Ok, well I just want to get some of my stuff" I said and walked up the stairs and into my room. Billie Joe followed me. I took all my clothes out and put them on my bed.
Rachel and Maggie came into my room with some boxes.
"We had theses in the basement" Maggie said and put them on the ground.
"Ok, thanks" I said and continued to pack my clothes.
An hour later, me and Billie Joe were ready to go home. I hugged Maggie and Rachel good-bye, and told them that they could stop by tomorow to see Jimmy. They both got pretty excited about that. They acted so much like 10 year olds sometimes. I knew that i would absolutly miss living with them. I mean, I had been for a little more then 10 years! But I also knew that I wanted to be with Billie Joe. And I knew that I would always be safe there with him. When we got home, I fed Jimmy again, and then went straight upstairs to change into my PJ's and then catch up on some much needed sleep. Billie Joe followed me up the stairs. I got changed in the bathroom and he changed in the bedroom. When I came out, Billie Joe was already streched out on the bed. I smiled and layed down next to him.
"Good night" I said then gave him a kiss.
"Night" He replied and pulled me closer to him.
"I love you" He wispered into my ear before I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
~*~Billie Joe's POV~*~
~*~The Next Morning~*~
"What the fuck?!" I yelled. I was being woken up by Jimmy jumping onto the bed and licking our faces. I heard Natalie giggle.
"Oh, come on Billie Joe! You have to admitt that you like being woken up like this." She said.
"Not at 9 AM!" I said while looking at the clock next to me. Jimmy was still trying to lick my face. I put my pillow over my head so that he couldn't.
"I'll go down and feed him" She said and started to get out of the bed. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.
"No, you will stay here with me" I said mischiefly.
"Ok, fine. I guess I won't right now. But in 5 minutes I will have to feed him" She said and layed back down. Jimmy was now also laying at the foot of the bed. I pulled Natalie closer to me, and soon fell back asleep.
~*~Still Billie's POV~*~
~*~2 Hours Later~*~
When I woke up, Natalie wasn't next to me anymore and Jimmy wasn't on the bed either. I got up, took a shower, and went downstairs. Natalie was watching TV in the living room with Jimmy sitting next to her.
"Your finally up" She said when she saw me. I kissed her and sat on the other couch.
"Maggie and Rachel called about 10 minutes ago. They said that they would be over in a little while" She said.
"Ok, cool" I replied.
"They also said that they would bring Mike and Tre" She added. I nodded.
"What did you do all morning?" I asked her.
"I found another present from Jimmy on the kitchen floor this morning" She said and laughed.
"Oh, great" I said sarcasticly.
"I cleaned it up. Luckily I didn't step in it" She said and smirked.
"How was I supposed to know there was going to be a huge piece of crap on the ground!?" I said. Natalie laughed.
"Maybe if you looked where you were walking, these things wouldn't happen to you!" She said.
"You really are a walking contradiction!" She added. I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Oh no!! I know that look!" She said and jumped off the couch.
"I'll give you a 5 second head start" I said and watched her run away.
"1, 2, 3,4,5!!!!" I yelled and ran after her. She ran up the stairs. She was hiding in one of the bedrooms. I opened each door and looked around the rooms. I finally came to the last door, which was the guest room, and slowly opened the door. I walked into the room and closed the door behind me. Under the sheets on the bed was a big lump.
'She's great at finding hiding spots' I thought sarcasticly to myself.
I pulled the covers down to reveal: Natalie! She smiled at me innocently.
"I must award you on behalf of your excellant hiding place" I said to her and started to kiss her.
"I never thought you would find me!" She joked. We continued to make out on the bed for a while.
"Ding dong! ding dong! ding dong!" This time we were inturupted by the doorbell.
"Maggie, Rachel, Mike, and Tre" Natalie said out of breath.
"Damnit" I said and smiled at her. We both jumped out of the bed as we heard more doorbell spazes. We ran down the stairs and opened the door.
"Jeez, what were you guys doing?! Fucking?!" Tre said when we opened the door. Me and Natalie turned light shades of pink. They all laughed at us. Then Jimmy ran to us, making noise and wagging his tail.
"Oh my God! This must be Jimmy!" Rachel said and picked him up.
"Yes, that's him" Natalie said and smiled. Everyone gathered around him. While they all played and admired Jimmy, Me and Natalie went back upstairs and into the guest room. We started to make the bed.
"We better go back downstairs before Tre thinks we are going at it again" She laughed. I kissed her forehead and took her hand. We went back downstairs. Everyone was in the front yard playing with Jimmy.
"Just be careful, we don't have an eletric fence or anything yet" I said to them.
"Dont worry. He doesn't seem to be very interested in runny off" Maggie said. I had noticed that actually. It was a little odd. Normally dogs would take off the second they get a chance. Jimmy seemed to just be happy that he was playing with us. I held Natalie closer to me.
After playing outside for a little while, we went inside.
"Does anyone want to go out to eat tonight?" Mike asked.
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea" Natalie said. Everyone agreed. Soon after that, we were all on our way to this nice restaurant.
When we got there, we ordered our food and started talking about random things.
"Billie Joe, Tre and I were thinking about spending a little time at the studio like once or twice every week. You know, just for practice" Mike said to me. I nodded.
"Yeah, we probably should" I said.
"How about next week. Thursday at 11AM? Does that sound ok?" Mike asked.
"Uhh..yeah i think so" I said trying to remember if i had anything to do that day.
Finally our food came. I could tell everyone was pretty hungry. It was 5 PM when we left the restaurant. Mike and Maggie went back to Mike's house, and Tre and Rachel went back to Rachel's house.
"Jimmy! Dinner time!" Natalie yelled when we stepped into the house. I laughed at her.
"Why do you find this so funny?" She asked me with a hand on her hip. That just made me laugh harder.
"I...don't really know" I said after i finally stopped laughing. She smirked.
"What do you want to do now?" She asked after she gave Jimmy his food. I shrugged.
"Lets watch a movie" She said and walked into the living room. I followed her.
"What movie?" I asked her.
"Something scary" She said and plopped down on the couch.
"The last scary movie i bought was The Grudge. Do you want to watch that?" I asked her and walked over to the shelves where my movie collection was.
"Ok" She said. I put in the DVD player and pressed play. I went over ot where Natalie was sitting and sat down next to her. She snuggled in close to me, and I put my arms around her.
Whenever the freaky dead girl showed up, Natalie buried her face into my chest.
"Sorry. This movie scares me" She said. I just held her tighter.
"It's ok" I said and kissed her head.
When the movie was finally over, Natalie was already asleep. I decided that I should just stay there and sleep. I didn't want to wake her up.
When I woke up the next morning, I looked at Billie Joe who was still sleeping. I smiled when i remembered what happened last night. As quietly as possible, I got out of the bed and slipped on the first articles of clothing i saw. I made my way downstairs, where I was immediatly greeted by Jimmy.
