Is This The End? (Sequel to Till the End)

I Love You

So I plug my phone into the charger and I dig through my closest. It's fairly nice outside but I don't want to dress up, nor look like a bum.

I settle with black Victoria Secret leggings and a plain white v-neck. I wear my simple black Vans and my hair is up in a messy bun.

When I decide I'm decent looking enough I grab my pink Ray Bans, phone, and keys. I stop in the kitchen and grab me a Gatorade.

I climb into the big car and start the engine. I sit there for a while before I do anything. I plug my phone in the aux and hit shuffle, slowly backing out of the driveway.

I cruise along the familiar road and approach the gate. It's already open so I begin my journey up. When I get to the top he's already waiting for me. I'd like to say I'm bouncing with joy but I'm not. My stomach is in knots and my hands begin to shake. I swallow hard and park the car. I take a hard sip of my Gatorade and unlock my car.

"Hey." He greets me.

"Hey," I give him a small smile.

"I'm glad you came back." He pulls me into a hug. I must admit that missed this.

"I think we should talk and figure this out. I think Sam would like his life back and I think we should try to get ours back too." I pull away from him hug and grab his hand.

He nods quietly and interlocks our fingers. He squeezes my hand and I glance up at him. I squeeze his hand back and we walk inside our house.

Yet again I hang my keys up on the hooks and slip out of my shoes.

"Hmmm. Looks like you've cleaned up a bit." I glance around the foyer.

"Yeah. I started cleaning when you left." he scratches the back of his neck.

"Like you personally or the ladies?" I question.

"Me." Jack gives a simple shrug and pulls me along.

"Where are we going?" I question.

"Renee. Hush!" Jack turns around and stares into my eyes. I roll my eyes and nod, "don't roll your eyes at me either." He rolls his eyes in return.

He leads us to the patio out back and we sit on some nice lawn chairs.

"You want a drink?" He stands at the bar.

"I'm fine." I nod, he pours himself a glass of something and sits next to me. We stay quite before he clears his throat to say something.

"I miss you."

"Jack." I begin.

"Don't even start Renee. I know you do because if you didn't you wouldn't be here." His voice is demanding and powerful.

"What am I supposed to do!? Huh? I don't have a single clue what to do. At all. I'm completely lost." Just like always I snap.

"And baby I'm lost too. I'm lost without you. Please come back home." He begs.

"I don't want to fight like this. We always go back and forth. I hate fighting. It isn't us..." I stare off into our beautiful backyard.

"Then let's not fight. No one said we have to. We can fix that!"

"I don't know." I sigh.

"Look, I know you have zero trust for me but baby please. Just trust me on this. I won't let you down. I promise. And I promise you that I won't let you out of my sight when you come back."

"Jack." I begin to stand up, he watches me walk towards the stairs and follows.

"I know I'm a shitty husband. Probably the worst possible. But I can assure you that I don't love anyone besides you."

"I find that hard to believe." I scoff.

"Renee.." He grabs my hand and pulls me to him. I put all my weight in my right side and stare at him.

He grabs my face and kisses me. I'm telling you my eyes rolled to the back of my head. I threw my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer to him. And of course I kissed back. I missed those lips.

"I love you so much. You're my Queen baby." He whispers softly in my ear.

"I love you too." I bite my lip and look down.

"Come home?" He lifts my chin up and looks me in my eyes.

"Okay," I shyly smile.

"Really!?" Jacks face lights up and he picks me up, spinning me around and showers my face with kisses.

"Hahah stop! I'll come back tomorrow cuz I have to get all my stuff at Sam's." I giggle.

"Okay yeah sure!" He grabs my hand and we walk inside, "I am beyond happy! Like you don't even know, babe!" He swings our hands back and forth.

"I can tell." I smile.

"Do you want the Audi? I bet you do." He begins to ramble on and I'd have to admit I haven't seen him this happy in a very long time. It makes me tingly inside, as if I'm falling in love with him all again, and I love it. I love every moment of it!
