Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 44 - Valentine P.1

I rolled over, not feeling Jack by my side. I looked around in our room and didn't see him. After stretching, I stood up. The last thing I remember is falling asleep on the couch last night, so I guess he carried me into the bed.

"Jack!" I yelled. No response. I opened the door and spotted a red heart shaped balloon with something attached to it. Then another, and another, and another. About 15 balloons were scattered in the hallway, each having something attached to the bottom of the string. I grinned and grabbed the little paper from the first one and read it.

I love you because you're beautiful inside and out.

I giggled at the cuteness and put the paper in my pocket, moving on to the next one and opening the paper.

I love you because you're funny, and sometimes you don't even have to try.

On to the next.

I love you because I'll never get enough of you.

When I was finished, I had 15 reasons why Jack loves me in my pocket and a giant smile on my face.

I walked into the kitchen and looked on the counter. Oh my god. The biggest bouquet of roses I've ever seen was laying on the counter island. They were red and white ombre- something I've never seen. I looked down, discovering a giant teddy bear laying on the ground. It was like Nash's giant bear that was bigger than him, except this one was white and a lot softer.

I smiled and picked it up, giving it the biggest hug ever. I then picked up the red envelope that was on the counter that said "Paige♥"

I pulled out the card from inside. On the cover, there was a picture of my old workplace, the pizza place in Ralston. I was confused until I opened it up and started reading.

"You're probably wondering why I put a picture of this place on your card. This is where we first met. Where I first fell in love with your eyes. Your smile. Your voice. Where I knew you were one to keep my eye on. I'm so glad you fell in love with me, because I wake up everyday so happy that you're mine. Not just today, but every single day. I love you way more than I can write onto this card. Happy Valentine's Day love."

My eyes became a little glossy, and the smile on my face was almost impossible to break at this point. I always wonder how I got so lucky.

The last thing on the table were starbursts, which he knows I love. Chocolate has just never really been my favorite.

In all honesty, this is the first present I've ever gotten from a boy besides my dad on Valentine's day. I wasn't expecting Jack to go all out like this either.

I grabbed the gifts and balloons and brought them to the room and set them down. I pulled that papers out of my pockets as well and set them in a little box.

I opened the closet and got my red dress that has a heart shaped openeing on the back. After putting that on, I walked down the hallway and into the bathroom. When I turned the light on, I saw a giant picture of me and Jack in the mirror.

A little paper was attached to it. I picked it up and read: "Meet me at the beach."

We've only been to the beach a few times, and usually in the same quiet spot, so I'm assuming that's where he means. I smiled and took the picture down and brought it into the bedroom.

After finishing my hair and makeup, I slipped on my red sandals, grabbed my purse, and got into the car. I felt really coordinated since my lipstick was red as well.

It took me about 10 minutes to get to the beach. I parked along the road and got out, beginning on the trail that I'm pretty sure only a few people knew about.

I walked to the end of the trail and spotted him sitting on a log, touching the sand.

"JACK!" I yelled, jumping down from the trail into the sand.

He looked up and grinned, running over to me.

I jumped onto him once he got close enough to me.

"Hey beautiful." He kissed me.

"Thank you. Seriously. You're the best person in the world." I hugged him again.

"You're welcome." He smiled.

"I don't think what I got you even competes wi-" I began.

"Hey, hey. Valentine's Day is more about girls anyways." He said.

"No it's not! I still love you and I want to show it too."

"Yeah but I don't need Valentine's Day to know that you love me. I know you do. I don't want flowers and chocolate." He laughed.

"Still got you something." I shrugged with a smile.
