The next morning proved to be more of the same. Rhett and Jet were making love before they even left her bedroom, and then again after a short breakfast of cold pizza. They couldn't seem to get enough of each other. It seemed no matter what tame activity they talked about doing or attempted to do; it just led to another place in her house where they could explore each other's bodies.
All talking had been thrown out the window by the time they were back in the shower in the early evening. At that point, they were more than comfortable with each. Jet felt like they had been together forever. She felt so close to him, although, something in her knew it was just a physical closeness. Granted, she loved being physically close to Rhett, but she wasn't sure what would happen if they actually had to sit and talk.
"As much as I hate to say this Rhett, I think it's time you go home." Jet rubbed his hand as it lay wrapped around her naked stomach. They were on her bed once again, wrapped up together after another round of sex. Her skin was tingling everywhere, but it hadn't stopped her from noticing the time.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"I want to, but I actually have to catch a flight at 9. I have some meetings in San Francisco tomorrow and I'm staying with my friend Tierney tonight. She lives in San Francisco now."
"Seriously? Man, I was hoping to go for a 24 hour record." He laughed and Jet sat up with him following.
"You are insatiable." She leaned in kissing him. Rhett's hands immediately went to the sides of her face deepening the kiss and making Jet's body tingle all over again.
"Do you have a few more minutes?" He questioned and his hand moved into her hair.
Jet sighed in frustration, pulling back from him. "Unfortunately no big man, although, I wish I did. You make me crazy Rhett." She forced herself to stand and grabbed a pair of shorts that had been carelessly tossed onto her floor pulling them on with a t-shirt she found underneath.
"Fine. Will you call me when you land though? I want to make sure you get there safe." He stood up and started to search around the room.
"Definitely, I guess we have to find your clothes huh?" She laughed at him and they both started searching for Rhett's clothes.
Once he was dressed and ready to go, Jet kissed him goodbye at her door. The last day had been a whirlwind and she was kind of happy to have a break from his intensity. It was hard to say goodbye though. There was something about Rhett that made her feel at home.
*******************************
Jet had a great time in San Francisco, and after talking with Tierney she felt at peace with herself. Tierney was always a great friend. She had known her for years since they lived in New York together. Although, now she was in a steady relationship and working way too many hours, so it was harder and harder to catch up. This trip was the first time they had physically seen each other in almost eight months and it was exactly what Jet needed to help her sort things out.
By the time she returned, Jet was ready to at least start slowly with Rhett. Their weekend together had been amazing, but she couldn't be that intense that fast, especially since she was trying to still sort out her feelings with Jane and still getting past Mitchell. So, she was ready for something, but not for anything too intense.
When she reached her house on Monday morning, that all changed, though. Jane was sitting outside her door with a smile on her face. Jet felt her stomach fall and she knew that she wasn't certain about anything because with one look at the young woman's smile, she felt a spark that she thought was gone.
"Hi Jet." Jane stood up.
"Hi. What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk."
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Only a few minutes. I still had the reminder about your trip on my phone, so I thought I would meet you here when you got back."
"Oh." Jet remembered then that Jane had merged their calendars.
"Can I come in?" Jane said it softly and Jet nodded, taking out her keys.
"So, you want to talk? Have a seat. I'm just going to toss my bag in my room and I'll be back." Jet did just that and returned to find Jane seated on her couch. She felt a small blush creep into her cheeks as she remembered that she and Rhett had been on that couch not too long ago.
"How are you Jet?"
"I'm okay."
"You look good. Did you have fun with Tierney?"
"I did."
"I'm glad. She always centers you."
"I know I miss her."
"I miss you."
"What?"
"I miss you Jet. I miss my brilliant woman." Jane slid over towards her on the couch and Jet felt the familiar comfort of her hand on her shoulder. Suddenly, her brain was warring it out as to whose hand was more comforting, Rhett's or Jane's. It was all so confusing in her mind.
"I miss you too Jane, but I really hated how you were when you said you wanted a break."
"I know. I was kind of a brat. I'm sorry. Look, I don't want to push today, but I'd like it if we could give things a try again."
Jet's mind screeched to a halt. Jane wanted to give things a try again? Here she had just thought about moving on, and Jane was asking for another try.
"Look Jane, I thought about things a lot while we were apart and I don't know if we should try again."
"Why? I mean we work so well together." Jane's eyes looked so soft and sweet, and Jet just stared at her a moment before gathering her resolve to say what she needed to say.
"Jane, you want to move in with me and you want me to say that I love you, and I'm just not ready. So, if that's what you're here for, then I think our break should be permanent." She teared up a little at the thought. She and Jane had spent real time together. Whether it ended or not with her, they had shared a piece of their lives
"Listen, I know I said I had to have one of those to move forward, but when I thought about it...well I guess I'm okay waiting a little bit if it means I get my gorg girl back."
"Wait a little bit? Jane, I don't know how long it's going to take me to be ready for either, so you can't just say you'll wait a little bit."
"Come on Jet. We're good together. I love you whether you say you love me or not. So, it's just a matter of time before we get more serious somehow. I get you freaked out because I was kind of stupid about it, but I'm sure how I feel."
"I'm going to be freaked out about either of those any time, but after Mitchell I need to be really ready."
"Well, I think I can wait, and I really miss you. Can we at least be together again and do that date night thing you talked about?" Jane was pleading with her and leaning in closer as she spoke.
