Spark (GH Series #5)

Part 48

Ellie

I know no one wants to hear those words uttered especially when a momentous moment like this is happening but I'm not having our new life starting with Jack not expressing how she is truly feeling inside, there is something eating at her and I'm not willing to step into our home until she is one hundred percent sure and honest with me. "We need to talk. Seriously babe? Now?"

"Yes, now. " I bit my lip, took off my seatbelt and turned and faced Jack who's emotions were clearly bubbling to the surface. "There's something going on with you, and I'm not willing to move in with you in our home until the air is cleared. I refuse to start afresh when it's clear that you are burdened by something." I watch Jack blink a few times, fighting back the tears that were forming in her eyes. "Talk to me babe. I want a life with you, a future with you, but only if you tell me what's going on...please." I heard my own voice crack and fought my own tears.

"Okay...." I looked at Jack expectingly and she then unbuckled her seatbelt and pocketed her car keys and leaned over the steering wheel, bowing her head down, letting out a long sigh. "I'm scared, El." Those words whispered out by Jack nearly broke me in two.

"Why are you scared babe?"

"It's..." She sat back upright and turned and faced me. "The last time I set up home with someone, I was with her for sixteen years. I was happy, like, that was it for me, yet we both know she went out and cheated on me."

"I'd never cheat on you Jack, you know that. No matter how much we flirted when I was with him, or how desperately I wanted to kiss you when I was being beaten black and blue, I just couldn't."

"In my heart I know that Ellie, but what if I do something that pushes you away, I must have done that the last time I was in a relationship." My heart was aching for Jack, for our lives to start. I know she knows that I would never cheat on her, but its that doubt, that niggle in the back of her head that is screaming at her.

"How about this then..." Jack looked at me expectantly and I took her hand in mine, instantly playing with her engagement ring with my fingers. "I promise that if I feel that you are slipping away or doing something to jeopardise our relationship that I will be open and honest with you. Nothing or no one in this world is going to prevent me from becoming your wife. You are my love, Jack. Please do not lose sight of that."

"I love you Ellie, so damn much."

"I know you do babe. Please don't lose your cool when I say this..." Jack cocked and eyebrow at me and I continued. "I think you need closure, from Dani. Maybe you should consider meeting up with her, finding out your truth."

"El...no."

"Yes." I gave her a look and I knew she would cave. "Please? For your own sanity. You may have done nothing wrong in your relationship, but only Dani has the answers to help you." I watched Jack blink a few times and then slowly nod her head. "Good. Now..." I gently wiped the tears that had fallen down on to Jack's cheeks and she mirrored my movements, clearing away my tears. "Let's go and start making our own memories, building the life we both deserve, yeah?"

"Yeah." We turned away from each other and got out the car and walked down the pathway to our future. As we reached the door, I let out a squeal as Jack lifted me off my feet and carried me over the threshold. When she put me back down on my feet, I wrapped my arms around her neck and looked into her eyes, which were soft, pleading, almost looking lost and I pulled her down until our lips met in a soft, tender kiss. Breaking away moments later, due to a knock on our door, knowing it was the removal crew, Jack opened the door and began guiding where we needed things to be.

I left Jack instructing the men and opened our door and stepped into the back garden, inhaling the fresh air, taking her fears into consideration. I knew how hard it was when I trusted Grant, that although I knew what he was doing to me was wrong, you have that bit of self-doubt in you until you realise the truth. I know she's reluctant to see Dani, especially after the new developments, but she needs closure. The clogs were turning in my head and I knew I had to turn this day around, to make it a happy occasion again and I smiled to myself, knowing that although our emotions are high, showing my love for Jack, will bring us back together.

Jack

I watched Ellie from where I was standing, taking in her beauty, her resilience and whilst I agreed with her words earlier, I'm not going to run out and meet up with Dani in a flash. I know I need that closure, I will aim for that, but right now, I need my fiancée to feel that my heart only beats for her and her alone. It's still a little strange calling El my fiancée, but its fitting. She completes me in many ways that Dani never done and the further I fall in love with El, my memories of Dani slowly disintegrate. I was then distracted by the removal men and went to assist them and upon my return, Ellie was no longer in the garden.

Reaching for my phone, I scrolled through the contact list until I reached the name I needed and clicked call. "Hi, it's Jack. Can I make a reservation please?"

"So, where are we going?"

"Out for dinner. The least I can do for you today is wine and dine you, sweetheart." I opened the car door, ushering Ellie inside. She was looking like an absolute goddess this evening and my mouth watered at the sight of her earlier as she walked down the stairs towards me. My heart soaring with love for this incredible woman, who has made me realise what love really is.

"Jack, I would have been happy curling up in your arms on our new sofa. You don't have to wine and dine me, you know that."

"Perhaps, but we both know that we needed to turn today around, emotions have run high today, and we need some time for us." I took Ellie to our favourite restaurant, we indulged in good food, Ellie indulged in wine whilst I stayed off the alcohol since I was driving and as I looked across the table at my fiancée, I felt her foot snake up, teasing inside my leg and as she edged closer towards me, I stopped her foot, gently rubbed her toes and shot her a wink. "Fancy getting out of here?"

"Best idea you've had all day." We quickly stood up and I went over to the counter and paid for our meal. Ellie snaked her arm in mine, and we left the restaurant, making our way back to the car quickly. We were at least an hour away from home as our favourite restaurant is in the middle of nowhere and as I got into the car, Ellie's hand rested on my thigh. "I don't think I can wait until we get home babe."

"Are you being adventurous, my love?"

"Mhmmm."

"What do you want?"

"You in the passenger seat and me grinding on you." The thrill that coursed through my body, knowing what Ellie wanted, thrilled me no end."

"Okay, but not here in the car park. There is a layby further up, quite secluded if you can wait five minutes." Ellie bit her bottom lip seductively, nodded her head and I started the car, craving my gorgeous fiancée's body on top of mine. Moments later we were at the layby. I switched off the engine, got out the car and Ellie opened the passenger door and stepped out. I gave her a bruising kiss and bent down, running my fingertips up her thighs and under her dress, pulling her panties down around her ankles and then throwing them into the car. "God, El. I want you so damn much."

"You have me." Ellie made quick work of my belt, unbuttoning my trousers and pulling them down along with my boxer shorts. I sat on the seat and kicked off my shoes, getting my clothing off and pulled Ellie into the car, pulling the door closed behind us. Feeling how hot and slick she was against me, made me groan in want and as Ellie started to move and grind on me, she pushed her hand up to the roof of the car to help stabilise herself.

Squeezing her butt cheeks, pushing up to feel the friction of us grinding on one another, I brought a hand up and exposed a breast by pulling her dress top down and latching my mouth on to her hard waiting nipple. "Fuck, Jack..." Her raspy tone, thick with desire, fuelled me more.

"Ride my fingers babe." I plunged them into Ellie's hot wet entrance and her moan filled the car in what appeared to be surround sound. Ellie was clearly feeling rather frisky as she rode my fingers hard and when I curled them slightly inside her, looking for her g spot, her body started to quake and shudder over me and her body lunged forward, my mouth being greedy on her nipple as I relentlessly kept fucking her with my fingers until she rode her entire orgasm through.

Gasping for air, Ellie pulled away from me and I reluctantly let her nipple go out of my mouth and she ran her fingers over my face and smiled softly at me. "That was unbelievable..."

"Let's go home, there's more exploring to be done, tonight."
