A Surprise Visitor

I heard a knock on the door. "Who could it possibly be? I literally just got home," I said to myself. I heard the knock again. Whoever it was they were being very impatient. I reached the door and looked through the peephole. I could not believe who was standing on the other side.

I opened the door and there stood J. I stared at him in disbelieve as to what the hell he was doing here. He had moved erything out before I came home and had left the key in the apartment office for me.

"J. what are you doing here?" I was about to ask, but he beat me to it.

"Where were you? You were suppose to come home three days ago!!" he yelled at me.

"Well hello to you too, and yes I did have a good flight thanks for asking and no I don't mind you just barging in like this," I said to him my voice dripped with sarcasm and big smile on my face.

"A! I'm serious, where the hell were you?"

"J. I stayed a couple extra days and went up to Nottingham. But since when do I have to check in with you?" I asked as I could feel the anger start to bubble up.

Who did he think he was. He was my friend yes. But he had no right to barge in like this and yell at me asking me where I was. He started pacing back and forth in the hallway of my apartment. I was in no mood to invite him in. I had jet lag and all I wanted was my big bed with my big comforter to sink into. I could not believe he was actually standing here lecturing me.

"A. You should have told me. I was worried. I'm just happy you're home", he said as he walked into my living room. "So TV and dinner?" he asked as he plopped himself onto the couch.

"No!", I said to him. "You can go home and do TV and dinner. I need to get some sleep. And just so you know, I do not have to check in with you. I don't have to tell you when I am coming and going. I am an adult J. Thank you for the concern, but you don't need to come here and lecture me."

"You obviously are expecting Aaron over if you want me to leave," he said with a smirk on his face.

How the hell did he know about Aaron. We never actually talked about him. I didn't find it appropriate to be talking to him about Aaron since we had just broken up technically. He must have seen the look of confusion on my face.

"Meg told me you would probably be coming home with him."

I was furious that Meg would take the time to call him or see him or have any reason to have to talk to J. She knew I had not told J. anything yet, that I wanted to but I would when the time was right. Now here I was forced to talk to him about it when I was not ready. I had been awake for a full 24 hours, the last thing I wanted to deal with was this.

"J. I will talk to you tomorrow or the next day. Once I get caught up on sleep and once I talk to Meg. Right now you need to leave," I said and walked towards the door holding it open for him.

He stood up and walked towards me. As he was walking out he actually had the nerve to try to kiss me goodbye. I turned my head as he leaned in and took a step back. "J. No. You need to leave."

He left and I was left there fuming. I walked towards my bag and dug my cellphone out. I turned it on, dialed the number and waited.
