Chapter 34

(Nick)

I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for her to wake up. Her eyes open and she starts to move her leg, then puts it back down. "Hey, good morning." I say, sweetly, climbing over her and kissing her cheek. She smiles. Then closes her eyes again. I laugh and kiss her again. "So, I was thinking that maybe since your parents are here we could go out tonight and get dinner or something." Her eyes open again. "Okay." She sits up and looks around the room. "Where are my clothes?" She asks, pulling the sheets up around her. I unzip her bag I've already packed, and pull out a blue shirt and her shorts. "Underwear please. I am not going home without it again, fresh out of sex for both my parents to see. No fucking way." I throw her bra and underwear to her along with her other clothes.

We walk into the house and are immediately greeted by her mom. She hugs us both, then we walk to the living room. "So, we were thinking... That if you wouldn't mind.... You could watch the kids for one more night so we could go out." Her dad is upset with me, I can tell. Jen smiles and he does too. She picks up Collin and hugs him to her chest. "We'd love to, just don't stay out too late our flight leaves at ten am tomorrow." Her mom finally speaks up.

I stand by the door and wait for Jennifer. Her parents being here is both a blessing and a curse. I'm happy they're watching the kids, but it's kinda hard to be romantic with them here. She walks down the stairs in a deep red dress. It's sleeveless and fits to her body almost perfectly, Like it was made for her. Her black high heels make her almost exactly the same height as me. Her hair hangs in loose curls and her lipstick matches the dress. "Bye, mom, dad. We'll be home later." She walks outside with me and I close the door behind her. "Did you get everything?" I ask, looking her over. She looks in her purse and pulls out her phone and keys, then puts them back. "Yep." She zips it back up and smiles at me. "What?" I realize I've been staring at her too long. "You look...... Amazing." I take her hand and we walk to the car.

She leaves her purse in the car and we walk into the small restaurant. "We're eating outside." I say, so Jen and the waiter can hear. We walk outside together and the waiter does too. No one else is out here, I can hear the quiet music playing through the speakers. "What would you like to drink?" I look over the menu and so does Jen. "Two glasses of champagne and water." I say, Jen nods and I know it's okay. "If you're ready I can go ahead and get your food too." He says, writing it down. "I want spaghetti." She says, handing him the menu. "I would like steak, please." I hand him the menu as well.

He returns with our food and drinks. He gives Jen hers first and then me. He lingers by the table as she starts eating her spaghetti. She licks her lips then looks up at me, then him. "Let me know if you need anything else." He goes inside and we eat.

I look up at the speakers as the music continues to play out of them. "Do you wanna get ice cream?" I ask, watching Jennifer play with her straw. "No, I'm good." She mumbles, taking the straw out and looking at it. "You have to get dessert." She drops her straw back into her cup and rests her face on her hand. "Why?" She asks, smiling. "Because we're on a date and that's the rules." She laughs and sits up putting her hands flat on the table. "Fine. I want the ice cream, but only if you'll split it with me." The waiter shows up as if on cue. "I'd like an ice cream sundae." He takes the plates and returns with a bowl. It's got a brownie with ice cream and a cherry on top. He sets the check down and leaves. She takes a bite, then picks up the cherry. She sticks it in her mouth, then throws the stem into the bushes. I take a bite of the brownie and look over at the restaurant. There's almost no one in there. It must be close to closing time. I look back at Jen just in time to see her lick her lips. I wish I could lick her lips.

It's dark outside, but there are small lights illuminating the small space between the restaurant and our table. "Would you like to dance?" I look over at Jennifer. "Now?" She follows my eyes to the small space. "Yes." I set money on the table with the check. "Yes." We stand up and walk into the space that will now become our dance floor. It's right next to the speakers, so I can clearly hear the song that's playing. She sets her hands on my shoulders and I put my hands on her hips.

I just think about my baby

I'm so full of love I could barely eat

There's nothing sweeter than my baby

I never want once from the cherry tree

Cause my baby's sweet as can be

She give me toothaches just from kissin me

We sway side to side inches away from each other. I lean in and kiss her, she tastes like sugar.

When, my, time comes around

I spin her around and wrap my arm around her waist, holding her body against mine.

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

I whisper the words in her ear, as we move from side to side. I wish we could do this forever. The way her body feels against mine.

Boys, when my baby found me

I was three days on a drunken sin

I woke with her walls around me

Nothin in her room but an empty crib

I bury my face in her hair breathing in her scent. She grabs my hand and I run with her. We run to the car.
