A penny for your thoughts (Jade: Tag Jeremy, any)

[Jade Edwards RCO]

He was in the pool for the first time he had finally been cleared to return to full training. He could drive a damn car but swim properly in competition that had taken a little longer. Now he had a couple of weeks before his first major meet and he needed to be ready for it.

The summer had been a long one without Jeremy by his side and to be honest he wasnt sure a month in whether they were on the same page. He wanted them to be but they had not had a lot of time together since the start of school. He stopped at the edge of the pool to catch his breath wiping the water out of his eyes. When did things become so complicated he thought as he started to swim again.

'I love him and he loves me so what is the problem.' he thought to himself. He reached the otherside of the pull in no time and pulled himself out of the pool walking to th small set of seats he grabbed his towel and started running it through his hair forgetting that he was still wearing his goggles and laughed after he pulled them of.

Soon enough he found himself getting some breakfast in the cafeteria a bagel he was trying to get into shape so he was watching what he was eating.

Brad's not coming back this year had been hard, when they had talked about why he wasn't it had hurt. Brad's decision to transfer to another school and out of state was not something that he was likely to forget in a hurry.

His phone buzzed in his pocket taking it out he read it replying to his brother's message before putting it back in his pocket.

"Food brother boyfriend in that order." he said to himself with a smile. "Well maybe in that order." he added quietly.

Summer had been too long. Working for a major theme park during the tourist season could really take a toll on a relationship. Jeremy didn't want to throw away his job at Disneyland because he hardly got to see Jade but still there had to be something easier that would allow for more free time. He wanted to make up for lost time.

He had no idea how or what could be done but something would come to him. He stopped by a Panera Bread on his way to school and picked up 2 whole grain bagels with a sun dried tomato cream cheese and iced tea to drink.

He pulled into the parking lot with Kylie Minogue singing about "not getting out of her head". He let the song finish before shutting the car off and heading inside.

He looked around for Jade, when he saw the familiar blond hair, he headed over and moved so he was standing in front of him. "Can a bad boyfriend still be forgiven?" He put on a fake out along with big sad eyes.

Jade smiled at his boyfriend, "If theres a chocolate muffin on that plate or in the near future with my name on it then all is forgiven. All for the love of chockie goodness." Jade said smiling brightly at Jeremy. "I should have called to see whether you wanted picking up, if you didn't mind coming in early I have been in the pool training this morning." Jade said to him smiling brightly. "Thus why I am eating healthily, I need to lean up a bit." Jade said to him.

He had also rid himself of body air not that he had a hell of a lot, it just helped with streamlining at least in his opinion anyway. Noticeably his arm hair was missing and obvious without a longer sleve shirt on. He just wasn't embarrassed by his body.

"You and I need to discuss plans for at least one date in side the next week... seeing you only in passing is driving me up the wall." Jade said to him softly blushing as he did so, he didn't have Brad to talk to and Mackenzie just wasn't an idea he was willing to entertain just yet. "If I have to steal you away from your job for a night then I'll risk it." Jade said to him eyes twinkling. "I miss you." Jade addd loud enough for Jeremy to hear but no one around them.
