"Something Unpredictable?", chapter 5
Billie Joe woke up to find he had his arm round Tarja and she had her head nestled in his shoulder and was still sleeping peacfully. He looked over at the bedside clock, 6 pm, fuck they had slept through the day. He felt completely better now and passed his illness off as a 24 hour thing like Tarja said. He kissed her forehead and she stirred quietly in her sleep but didnt wake up. He carefully got out of the warm bed and went to the bathroom. He looked at his reflection, he needed to shave badly, he had a nice 5 o'clock shadow growing but other than that he still looked a bit paler than he remembered being. He had a quick shower and shave and got dressed. Tarja was still sleeping and he almost didnt have the heart to wake her, she looked so beutiful when she slept.
"Wake up," he whispered and shook her a bit.
She moaned and slowly opened her eyes. "Hey," she mumbled.
"Hey sleepy head, its like 6pm we pretty much slept through the whole day."
"6pm! Oh shit I've got work in like 1 hour!" she said, suddenly awake and out of bed.
"Do you have to? Call in sick."
"I can't, unlike you I can't just say I don't want to work today," she said, doing up her shoes and doing her hair in the bathroom mirror. Billie Joe rested his head against the doorway of the bathroom and watched her.
"What?" she asked, catching him out.
"Nothing, you're cute when you sleep thats all."
"You watched me?"
"Just for a minute, you wrinkle your nose a bit like this," he demonstrated for her.
"Haha, thats not too cute," she grinned.
"Well it is when you do it," he shrugged.
Tarja was fretting about how long it would take for her to get home, feed the dog and get to work when Billie Joe grabbed her by the shoulders before she had a panic attack.
"Look, I'll drive you home, you get ready for work while I feed your dog, then I'll drive you to work and pick you up when you finish, then take you back home so you can get ready to come see a movie with me, ok?" he said to her calmly.
"A movie? I think I'll be too tired to go out"
"Then I'll rent a few and we can watch them at your house."
"I dunno...." Billie Joe gave her the puppy dog look and she smiled, "Oh ok then," she grinned, he wooped and hugged her.
"This is the one," she said and pointed to her driveway, she got out of the car no sooner had it stopped moving and shot in the house.
"Wheres the dog?" Billie Joe called while she zipped round her small house finding clean scrubs for work.
"He'll be out the back, his name is Tip, Dog food is on the top shelf" she called back, almost tripping over a dog toy in the hallway.
Billie went out the back to find Tip when a large rottweiler dog bounded from nowhere and knocked him down.
"Oof, fuck dog, gerroff me!" he panted and pushed the huge dog off him as it tried to lick his face.
"Oh gross," he moaned as Tip planted one right on his cheek. Tip got off and jumped round the yard happily, he looked profoundly happy that he had a new friend to play with.
"Well I found you, now where is your bowl?" he muttered to the dog and Tip came running over with his bowl as if he understood.
"Oh, uh, good boy, now Sit!" Billie Joe commanded and Tip complied, wagging his tail excitedly, "Stay," Billie said and dashed into the house and got a can of dog food out.
"How much do I give him!" he yelled over the sound of her shower running.
"The whole tin!" she called back and Billie dumped the whole lot in Tips bowl and gave it to him. Tip downed the whole lot within minutes. Billie Joe went back inside and sat on the couch, it definatly was not a big house, every room was accesible from the lounge which appeared to be the biggest room. Tarja came dashing out of the bathroom in pink scrubs and into her room, then back to the lounge where she took a deep breath.
"You ready?"
"Hang on," she said while she caught her breath, "Ok," she said with a huge smile and Billie drove her to work.
"Wake up," he whispered and shook her a bit.
She moaned and slowly opened her eyes. "Hey," she mumbled.
