JC awoke to the aroma of bacon filling in into the guest room, “I can get used to this.” He thought to himself, and looked at his wristwatch, it was nearing nine-am, and he just realized that he was starving, and could use a helping of bacon and eggs right about now.  Doing a couple of morning stretches, he leapt from the bed, and looked out the window, deciding to open it, a light yet crisp autumn breeze went in, he took in a breather and decided to leave the window slightly open.

He then grabbed his sweatpants, toothpaste, toothbrush, and all the basic essentials that he needed to go to the guest bathroom that was just down the hall; as JC made his way down the carpeted hallway, passed by the main bathroom, and saw a light on the inside, silently but slowly, he took a peek, the door of the bathroom was open just a crack, and was able to get a clear view.

Smiling to himself when he saw that it was Ashley, who had just emerged from her shower, she had a wrapped towel around herself, and her hair was damp, she was combing it and styling it, and looking at herself in the mirror.

“What am I doing?” JC wondered, “I’m a peeping Tom.”

JC couldn’t help but to keep at looking at her, and he started to get warm, he just wanted to embrace her and kiss her on her neck, and yank that towel off of her and pin her on the wall and make her say his name and do so much more to her.

He didn’t know how long he was standing there having all of these naughty thoughts, but he was interrupted by someone who was clearing her throat, turning around, he jumped when he saw that it was Ashley’s mom.

“And good morning to you too.” She smiled sweetly, “Did you get lost?”

JC, who was suddenly embarrassed by what he was doing, started rambling saying, “Yeah, maybe I did, um...the guest bathroom is where?”

“Down the hall, to the right.”  Roselle said, not taking her eyes off of him.

JC thanked her and scooted away from her, trying to get to the guest bathroom, so he can take a much needed cold shower.

Meanwhile, while JC headed to the guest bathroom, Roselle then went to the main bathroom to go have a chat with her daughter.

“Morning mom.” She greeted.

Ashley was now fully clothed, a pair of sweat pants and a grey tshirt, her hair in now wavy curls.

“Where’s JC?”

“In the guest bathroom, do you wanna know what he was doing?” Roselle couldn’t help but ask her.

“No what?”

“I caught him watching you, he was being a peeping Tom Ashley, I think it was slightly cute, he got all flustered when I caught him.” Roselle explained.

“Wait a second; he was watching me getting dressed?” She giggled a bit. “You’re right, it is cute.”

Roselle eyed her daughter carefully and blurted out the most random question before breakfast, “You rode the hobby horse with him already didn’t ya?”

“Mom!” She shouted.

Roselle grinned, “Oh come Ashley, its so obvious that you did, I mean look at him, I know that he’s so infatuated with you it was ridiculous, and you too, you are just too stubborn to admit your feelings to him, I understand, you get that stubbornness from me.

“Ok fine, yeah we did what we did, but don’t worry mom, it meant nothing.”

“Sure, it meant nothing sure.”

Ashley groaned and playfully shoved her mom out of the way and made her way down to the kitchen.

Rufus, the German Shepherd, wagged his tail when he saw her, and was waiting for her to feed him bacon, he loved bacon.

“You want some bacon boy? Yes you DO!”

She saw that he already had a few a bacon strips, from the grease that was on his doggy bowl.

“But looks like you already had some bacon; you know you can’t have more.” Ashley told him.

The dog whined, but waited patiently for his bacon anyway.

Ashley grabbed the bacon, the eggs, the waffles and whatever else was there, and placed the plates on the table along with a glass of orange juice.

She munched quietly, when she heard the door of the guest bathroom open, JC emerged, a hint of steam was floating behind him, he was wearing track pants, and a black polo shirt, Ashley could smell him from a mile away. He smelled amazing.

“Morning Ashley.” JC said, giving her a smile.

“Morning JC, care for some breakfast?”

“Bacon.” Was all said.

He started to help himself with the bacon, eggs and waffles that was on the table and started to scarf down his food.

“Your mom, is the best cook ever!” JC spoke, in between bites.

“Thanks for the compliment.” Roselle said, as she headed down the stairs, “and you are welcome to stay for as long as you like.”

JC smiled at her and thanked her again.

The house phone then started to ring and Roselle went to pick it up, “I’ll take this upstairs, it’s my mom calling me.”

Ashley waited for her mom to go upstairs, so she can talk to JC.

“So....” Ashley started.

JC, who was still silent, took a sip of orange juice.

“My mom told me that you were watching me getting dressed, did you like what you see?” Ashley smirked.

JC choked on the orange juice, “Well, it’s not like I haven’t seen you naked already, so..”

“So what?” Ashley whispered.

Ashley was flirting with him and it was working.

JC chewed on his last bit of bacon and tried to avoid the intense feeling that he was getting.

“Are you trying to get back at me for what I was saying you yesterday?” JC asked her.

“Maybe.” Ashley told her, as she got up and cleared the table.

JC had to quickly change the subject before things got down and dirty in the kitchen, and Ashley’s mom would catch them in the act.

“Where are we going today?”

“I may have to restock the fridge, then show you around for a little bit, in a few days, gonna have to transfer car registration, plates and whatnot.” Ashley told him.

“I’ll be with you every step of the way.”

“I know you will JC, I know you will.”

Ashley then went up to him and gave him a long-awaited kiss, which took JC by surprise, but he eagerly returned it back, she then completed the kiss and told him.

“Go do whatever you gotta do first before we go and head out.”

“Like what?”

“You know, call your friends back in LA, Jimmy, the girls, your assistant, to see if your house and your car is okay, things like that, they all must be worried about you.”

For a second, JC did forget that he had a life in LA, a celebrity life, he was starting to feel so comfortable and normal for once ever since he has been with Ashley and her mom Roselle, it was a nice feeling.

“Well, I texted them when we were in Virginia.” JC hesitated.

“You should call them, or update your Twitter status, or something.”

JC thought for a moment and sighed, “Fine, I guess I’ll give them a call, I’ll go get my laptop too.”

Ashley smiled to herself, “Good, I’ll be upstairs grabbing my things, whenever you are finished just let me know.”

JC nodded and watched Ashley head up the stairs, he started to pull out his Iphone, looked up at Jimmy’s number, when he realized that it was still early in LA, maybe about seven or eight in the morning, right now, looking at the clock from the oven, it was nearing eleven. But he still managed to find Jimmy’s number and pressed the call button.

“This is gonna be harder than I thought…” JC said to himself.

After a few short rings Jimmy picked up the phone, “Hello?”

“Hey Jimmy, its me JC, listen…we need to talk...”
