Surprise Visitor

December 1st, 2011

Sean came over again. We were on my couch ripping pieces of clothing off of each other. Things were getting really hot; I was on top and Sean had just taken off my bra and thrown it across the room. His mouth was paying attention to my chest when I heard my front door open.

“Oh, God! I’m so sorry!” I looked up in time to see Stormy covering his eyes and backing into a wall with his suitcase on the ground in front of him.

I grabbed a blanket to cover my boobs and fell off of Sean onto the floor; who had to shove a certain body part back into his boxers and zip up his pants. Sean was shirtless and stood up awkwardly. He helped me stand up and then put his hands in his pockets.

“Could you go?” I asked Sean.

“Yeah. Bye.” He said grabbing his shirt and shoes and walking out the door, presumably to dress in the hallway.

“Stormy, it’s okay; you can stop covering your eyes.” I said, approaching him cautiously.

“I’m so sorry.” He said, “Rose and I got into a fight so I ended things and came over here a day early. I didn’t think you’d mind. I am SO SORRY.”

“It’s okay.” I said, “Everyone and their mom has already seen my boobs anyway.” I said trying to reduce the awkwardness, “I’ll go get the blankets and stuff so you can make up your bed on the couch. I cleared out some drawers in my entertainment center so you could put your clothes and stuff away. Feel free to start unpacking. I’ll go get dressed and then order us a pizza, okay?”

I put some clothes on before giving Stormy a stack of bed linens and going to order the pizza. When I got back Stormy was bright red.

“Um. This is yours.” He said holding up the very sexy bra I had been wearing.

“Thanks.” I said taking it from him and throwing it into my bedroom.

“Stormy, I’m really sorry that happened.” I said.

“We don’t need to talk about it. I’m sorry I ruined your plans.” He said sitting in an armchair looking incredibly embarrassed.

“Well. This is awkward.” I said.

We both laughed and things finally relaxed a bit. Our pizza came and we had a Project Runway marathon again. It was fun.

“So, you’re back with your ex again?” Stormy said while Nina and Michael discussed the designs one designer had put forward.

“It’s…complicated.” I said, “We’re not exactly back together.”

“Did you break up with that other guy? The one with the kid?”

“It’s complicated.” I said again.

Stormy caught the hint and didn’t press me further.

“You’re okay, though?” He asked after awhile.

I didn’t say anything. Instead I just snuggled into his side and gave him a hug.

I went to put the leftovers in the fridge but Stormy stopped me.

“Hey, Faith?”

“Yeah?”

“I’m really glad we’re friends.”

I smiled.

“Me too, Stormy.”

  1. She really needs to get herself together and deal with Sean once and for all. I think he is trying to hold on to her any way he can.

  2. That was funny I like Stormy. He seems to be a good guy and wasn't judgemental. AS for Sean Faith needs to stop this. He's not going to. You know their whole relationship was based on sex if you think about it. It's how they started and now how they're ending it. Not really anything substantial there.

  3. i wonder what smart ass remark Sean will make once we connects the dots and realized Stormy actually had a KEY to Faiths apartment.... with a suit case full of clothes.

    ooooh this is getting gooOOOOD :)

  4. Yeah, good point, Sweetlara: I don't remember Faith and Sean having too many positives between them other than sex. Just lots of half-truths and holding back, jealousy and insecurity, and their joint efforts at getting Sean past his interesting problem of not being able to perform physically with anyone he wasn't "in-love" with. Guess that means he was in love with Karen when he cheated with her? Or did he just get "cured" once he and Faith officially committed to each other? I used to like him, thinking he and Faith would work out their quirks together. But, now he just seems messed-up overall. And, here he is cheating again - on Karen, who's pregnant with his child.

  5. I just read this whole blog in the last month...it seems to me that Sean got over his "problem" right after the band manager was gone for good. Can't think of his name at the moment but if you reread those sections, he was able to perform right after that.

  6. He actually answered that in another post when faith asked him I think he would use viagra to help him stay up longer or some crap like that. I thought he was great at first when he helped her deal with something about Kevin. I think he needs to let go of the past and Karen since he doesn't love her and move on and leave Faith alone. He hasn't accepted it is over and she dosn't seem to either. They both need to make a decision about their lives move on together or apart. Just make a decision.

  7. Ahhh...that's right: I'd forgotten about both of those things (Jerry, the band's former manager leaving the picture, and also the Viagra). Thanks. The guy just straight-up has several major issues screwing him up. Anyone getting mixed-up with him is going to have Sean's troubles compounding whatever story she has going of her own. I mean, Faith wasn't without responsibility for how she didn't deal with the Kevin fiasco...she made some of her own headaches, and Sean had nothing to do with that. But, he's just got so many of his own demons, and the 2 of them together (Faith and Sean) = self-destruction.
