With Faith & Love

Jett opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the nightstand. Eleven thirteen. He turned on his side and felt an empty space beside him. Waking up without Janese was getting annoying and he ached to hold her. He had checked in the hotel three o\' clock that morning. He was up all night partying and singing with his family. The phone rang and Jett answered after the first ring with hopes it was Janese.

\"Hello?\"

\"Jett how ya\' doing? Merry Christmas! You haven\'t called me in awhile.\"

\"Hey Plunkett,\" Jett mumbled.

\"Why so blue? It\'s the day after Christmas and six days until the new year,\" Plunkett asked.

\"I was hoping you would be Jane By By the way, I\'m getting married in July.\" Jett heard a loud scream in the background.

\"Hold on a minute.\" Jett heard Plunkett put the phone down and it sounded like he was trying to calm someone down. \"All right, I\'m back.\"

\"Plunkett, who was that? Sounded like a female. What did you get for Christmas,\" Jett asked with a laugh. Plunkett joined him.

\"Nobody. So you and Janese are finally tying the knot. That\'s great.\"

\"You coming right?\"

\"Of course. Have you thought about that movie offer,\" Plunkett asked. Jett remember that little stunt he pulled after Thanksgiving.

\"Plunkett let me ask you something. Why did you go to my hotel and talk to Janese after I told you that I was gonna be a little late?\" There was silence on the phone.

\"I told you he would figure it out,\" a female shouted. Either Jett was going crazy or he didn\'t get enough sleep.

\"Plunkett why the hell is Kayla over there?! And what is she talking about?\" He got his answer from Kayla himself.

\"Jett, you can believe me if you want to, I really don\'t give two shits. Plunkett knew I would call you and you would come to me first instead of him. That was the plan. That\'s how we rehearsed it!\"

\"Give me the phone,\" Plunkett yelled. \"Jett, let me explain-\"

\"You\'re fired,\" Jett yelled in the phone and slammed it down. He sat up in bed and threw the blankets off him. \"What the fuck!!\" He threw on a pair of sweatpants and T-shirt then walked down to his father\'s room. A group of giggling girls ran up to him.

\"I told you he was here Becky,\" one girl screeched. \"Can we have your autograph?\" Jett wasn\'t in a celebrity mood. But what the hell. If he didn\'t do it they would hound him til he did.

\"Sure.\" He scribbled his name on the paper.

\"Can I have a hug Jett?\" Becky pleaded. Jett hugged her and she almost fainted.

\"After I get married no more hugs,\" Jett said.

\"Oh my God, you\'re getting married?\"

\"At the end of June.\" The two girls went running down the hall. One pulled out a cell phone and was blabbing her mouth. Jett knocked on his father\'s door but there was no answer. He put his ear to the door and heard a woman laughing. He started smiling and knocked a little harder.

\"Wood is-\"

\"Oh my God!\" Jett stood back and his mouth hit the floor.

\"Jules who is it,\" Wood asked. She just stood there with a sheet wrapped around her body. Wood came to the door and saw Jules and Jett staring at each other. \"Hey son.\"

\"Hey dad,\" Jett stuttered.

\"Excuse me,\" Jules said. She walked in the bathroom.

\"Let\'s go back to your room Jett,\" Wood said. He started walking down the hall to Jett\'s room. Jett was still standing in front of the door with his mouth open. \"Jett! Do you have a woman in your room too,\" Wood joked.

\"No, but he\'s marrying Janese! Isn\'t she lucky? I would kill to be here!\" The two girls came walking back down the hall. \"Michelle, don\'t hang up he\'s right here!\" They ran up to Jett and handed him the phone. \"Talk to her. She doesn\'t believe me!\"

\"Hello?\" There was a loud shriek in the phone and Jett had to hold the phone away from his ear He gave the girl her phone back. \"She believes you now.\" He and his father walked in the room and sat on the bed. \"Dad, were you and mom...\'ya know...\"

\"Havin\' sex?\" Jett scrunched us fas face and grabbed his stomach.

\"That\'s disguisting! I don\'t wanna picture my mama doin\' that! Or you!\"

\"Why not? I\'m forty years old. I can still get my stoke on!\" Wood stood up and started rotating his hips. Jett fell on his side laughing.

\"You can stop that now. You\'re scaring me!\" Jett sat up and his expression changed. \"Does that mean you and ma are gettin\' back together?\" Wood sat down and leveled with his son.

\"We\'re talking about it.\" Jett smiled and nodded his head.

\"Gotta tell Janese about this.\"

\"Before you do that, why did you come knockin\' on my door?\"

\"Oh yea, right.\" Jett told his father about the phone call and plot about Plunkett and Kayla.

\"But why would Kayla be with Plunkett?\"

\"I don\'t know, but I think they\'re creeping together.\"

\"What could have persuaded him to do you wrong like that,\" Wood asked.

\"Kayla.\"

\"What about the wedding? Do you think they\'ll try to crash it?\"

\"I don\'t know and I don\'t want to take any changes. I\'ll just change it to the end of June.\"

\"Call Janese and discuss this with her first.\" Wood walked to the door.

\"Leaving already?\"

\"Yea, I gotta get back to yo mama.\" Jett shook his head and Wood left. He picked up the phone and dialed the number to the condo.

\"Hello?\"

\"Hey lady. Did you sleep good?\"

\"Yea, alittle. mattmattress is comfortable and all but all I needed was you.\"

\"I\'m on my way. I\'ll be there in half an hour.\"

\"Okay, I\'ll make breakfast.\"

\"Sounds good.\"

~*~*~*

Janese put the scrambled eggs in a plastic container and sat them in the microwave with the bacon. She turned the sausage and finished measuring the milk for the pancakes. Janese loved the conventional kitchen Jett put in the studio for her. There was plenty of space and she loved to cook. Janese didn’t hear Jett put his key in the door and come in. He snuck up behind her and bit her on the ass. She screamed and almost dropped a sausage link.

“Why you do that? You lucky you’re you or I would have took this frying pan and burned your dick off!” Jett hung his coat off while she babbled then took her in his arms.

“If you did that why would you have to play with?” He kissed her on the lips and tried to sneak a piece of sausage but it was a fresh piece out the frying pan. “Owww!”

“That’s what you get!” Janese slapped his on his ass.

“Hey watch out now!” She laughed and finished the last off the sausage. “How come you’re not dressed? Not that I’m complaining or anything.”

“Because I was gonna relax all day. In my house.” Jett stood behind her and wrapped his arms around his waist while she flipped the pancakes.

“You really throwing down! Dad always said, if you can find a woman that’s as bad in the kitchen as she is in the bedroom, you’re blessed.”

“All you men wanna do is have sex and eat.”

“That’s right! After I finish eating this I’m gonna eat me some of this,” Jett said grabbing one of her breasts.

“Stop that! What did you want to talk about?” Jett started kissing her neck and grabbing her butt.

“Awwww! You don’t have no panties on!” Janese turned to him and lifted her shirt.

“Did you notice anything else, Inspector Gadget?” Jett licked his lips and grinned like an idiot.

“Your boobies are looking at me,” he whispered. She shook her head and turned her attention back to the stove. “You’re gonna stop doin’ that to me! You like to play strip tease too much.” He started setting the table while Janese put the food on the plates. “We’ll talk after we eat.”


After finishing their breakfast and putting the dishes in the dishwasher Jett and Janese sat on the couch in front of the fireplace.

“I got a call from Plunkett this morning. Kayla was with him and she told me that he’s apart of everything.” Janese stared at him with wide eyes.

“Are you serious? What did you do?”

“I fired him.” Jett put his head in her lap and held her leg. “I also had to move the wedding to the end of June. I don’t want those two messing anng ung up. You didn’t make any plans yet, did you?”

“No. I just looked at some dresses this morning. I think I want my made.”

“What ever you want. Guess what else,” Jett asked, his head popping up.

“What,” Janese asked. She loved gossip.

“Guess where my mom spent the night?”

“Her hotel room?”

“It was in the hotel but not her room.”

“Who’s room then?”

“My dad’s!”

“Oh my God! What were they doing?”

“Playing Strip Poker with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky,” Jett said sarcastically. “What do you think they were doin’? My mom came to the door wearin’ nothing but a sheet.”

“Shut up!”

“Then my dad told me he wasn’t too old to get his stoke on!” He shuddered thinking about his dad grooving in his room. “But I hope they get back together.”

“It would be nice. Let’s talk about our wedding. Where are we going for our honeymoon?”

“We can go in the bed, kitchen counter, backyard, up against the wall-“

“Jett! I’m talking about traveling! Like the Bahamas, France, the Islands.”

“Ohhh! That’s a surprise. Next.”

“Bridesmaids.”

“That’s your department. You know who you want right?”

“Yea, I just have to make some phone calls. Invitations. Who are we inviting?”

“You list your people and I’ll list my people and then we combine them.”

“I think we need help from our mothers. Mom should be home.”

“And all I have to do is say one thing to my mom and you know she’ll be over.”

“Let’s go then.”

“K.” Janese went to her room to get dressed. Jett followed right behind her.
