Romance and Christmas Stories.

Ch. 6 Snowy First Date. 12/19/00 continued.

Both Jonathan and Jennifer stepped out of their showers and dried off before heading to their rooms to get dressed. Cora was sitting on the bed waiting for Jennifer to come out of the bathroom once she did Jennifer smiled as Cora brushed her newly washed hair before braiding it right down to the end before tying it off. With her hair done Cora helped Jennifer get dressed in her sheer Pale Blue dress. As Cora zipped the back of the dress Stefanie walked in just as Jennifer slid her feet into the heels that match her dress. When Jennifer stood up and turned to Cora to thank her for her help Stefanie said that She looked like Queen Elsa from Frozen. Jennifer laughed, and hugged her niece and said thank you. Jonathan had showered and dressed in record time he picked up his keys, and called out I'm gone to his family. Have fun. His Mom and Dad said. Jonathan was out the door, down the stairs, and in his car before Drew could even ask him where he was going. Jennifer was dressed and ready to go and outside the Holly Inn waiting for Jonathan. A few mins later Jonathan pulls up and parks his car before getting out and walks toward Jennifer who smiles when she sees him. Wow. Jonathan breathed. You look beautiful this evening. Thank you. Jennifer said. So are we driving or walking  to the party. We're walking. Jonathan said since the Town Square isn't too far from here. As Jonathan and Jennifer walk to the Town Square Santa and the rest of the family are getting dressed to head to the Christmas Party where Jonathan and Jennifer are right now. Meanwhile at Robert's parents house Abby was thinking about going to the Christmas Party in the Town Square, but after getting a note from the Mayor letting her and her Dad know they were not allowed to attend the party tonight so Abby stayed home like a Broke, Desperate, Powerless Loser that she had become. Meanwhile Santa and the family are dressed, and headed to the party in the Town Square. At the party Jennifer and Jonathan are having fun dancing in the Gazebo while others are sitting at tables eating food that has been set out on a long table for everyone to help themselves. Jennifer's family arrived at the party and had picked up plates to get some food, and something to drink. Across the Square Angie watches Stefanie with her biological family. Colin walks over to make sure she was ok. Angie looks up to see Colin walking toward her as Colin got close he noticed her eyes were red from crying. "Are you ok? Colin asked. I'm fine. Angie said I'm glad that Stefanie is back with her family. Thank you. Colin said. You're a great mom. He added there are plenty of kids that need good homes maybe you could adopt one. Angie smiled that's something to think about, but right now I just wanna relax and have fun tonight. Have fun. Colin said and Have a good evening. Thank you. Angie said. You do the same with your family." As the party went on everyone laughed and had a great time. A few mins later the party ended, and guests made their way home or back to the Holly Inn except for Jennifer who went with Jonathan back to his house. When they pulled into the circular driveway a light snow began to fall Jonathan lead Jennifer into his house, but had gently placed one hand over her eyes explaining that he had a surprise for her. Once inside the house Jonathan lead Jennifer in the living room where he scattered the Rose Petals. Jonathan removed his hand from Jennifer's eyes so she could see. As she took in the scene Jonathan went and picked up the ring box from earlier today. Jennifer headed to where Jonathan was standing, and told her that he loved her and wanted nothing more then to share his life with her. Jonathan knelt down on one knee turned the ring box towards Jennifer and opened it revealing the ring inside. Tears started to trickle down Jennifer's cheeks as Jonathan took the ring out of the box and gently placed the ring on Jennifer's ring finger, and said "Even though we've known each other for only a few days I feel like I've known you my whole life, and I always believed that my True Soulmate was out there waiting for me until I met you. Jonathan said calmly. And I wanted to ask you If you would Marry Me?" Jennifer with tears streaming down her cheeks says Yes. Yes I will Marry you. With a warm smile on his face Jonathan stands up, and gives Jennifer a hug first before kissing her to seal their Engagement. As things calm down Jonathan and Jennifer can focus on the remainder of their date. Jennifer sets up the movie The Polar Express while Jonathan makes a bowl of popcorn, adds two sodas to the tray and a small plate of fudge and brownie, and adds the bowl of popcorn before carrying it to the living room where Jennifer was staring out the window watching the snow continue to fall until a pair of warm arms wrap around her waist. Jennifer leans into Jonathan's warm embrace as he kisses her neck. After a few sweet kisses they sit on the couch watching The Polar Express while eating the popcorn, chocolate, and drinking sodas. As the movie ends and the credits roll Jonathan asks Jennifer if her Dad has seen The Polar Express. Jennifer smiles and said He has, and he loves it. They clean up their snack tray in the kitchen. When everything has been cleaned up and the dvd removed from the player and put away Jonathan turns the player off as they head up stairs to Jonathan's bedroom to get ready for bed. Jennifer blushed slightly as she told Jonathan she didn't bring anything to sleep in. You could sleep in your bra and undies. Jonathan said softly or I could loan you one of my shirts. A shirt would work. Jennifer said. Jonathan handed her one of his shirts before he headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Jennifer took her dress, heels, bra, and undies off before she slipped the shirt over her head. She folded her clothes and placed them on a chair and her heels on the floor. Jennifer had taken her hair out for the night as Jonathan walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of soft blue fleece pajama pants and no shirt. As Jonathan climbed into bed Jennifer told him it would be better if they waited until they were Married before having sex. If my Mom and Dad found out we had sex before getting Married the engagement and wedding would be off. I can understand that. Jonathan said. And the last thing I wanna do is make your parents mad at me. They shared one more kiss before going to sleep for the night as the snow continued to fall.
