sweet goodbyes(part 6)

ava's pov:
i have no clue were we are going. i've tried to guess and few times and he keeps saying i'm wrong or he can't say.

right now i'm still laying my head on his shoulder while he has his right hand on my thigh as he drives.

i doze of but wake up after about 10 minutes when we pull up to a cute little pottery place.

"ooo what's this?" i ask

"it's one of those poetry places where u paint it and they like cook it and you pick it up a few days later, so you'll have to pick up mine in a few days." he says

"i love this, let's go" i say hopping out of the car.

He walks in behind me but speeds up so he can hold my hand. we walk to the counter together.

the lady working there introduces herself and tells us we can pick any piece of poetry then come up there to get rung up.

we look around for a little bit, i pick out a cute little tea cup,  jack picks out a dinner plate and a tiny plate.

we get rung up. "25.97" the lady says. by the time my wallets out jack has already put his card in the machine.

"i'm gonna get you back for all this" i say
"i'm not gonna let that happen baby" he says back.

i paint my tea cup with strawberries and gold accents. he paints his big plate with a wonky new jersey devils logo and his name and number.

"what are u gonna paint on the second plate?" i ask him.

"what's your favorite color?" he ask. answering my question with a question

"light purple, what's yours?" i ask.

"blue" he says and smiles at me.

while i work on my cup some more i see him painting a sorta marble like design in light blue and light purple on the tiny plate.

"do you have good hand writing?" he ask

"i think so" i say

"can u write something on here in gold for me"he says handing me a tiny brush and the gold glaze container

"sure, what do u need me to write?"

"jack and ava at the top and 12-30-22 at the bottom and a little heart in the middle" he says

"okay" i say smiling uncontrollably. i write it and hand it back to him. once it's dried he flips it over and carves "first date" into the back. we take our creations up to the man by the kiln and he takes our names and my phone number and said he'll call me when there ready for pickup.

after that we walk to the car and get it.

"so where are we going now?" i ask jack

"i was thinking we could go back to the hotel so i can pack up and we can just hangout and cuddle there till i have to get on the jet" he says

"perfect" i say leaning over and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

when walk up to his room in the hotel. his bed is still unmade from this morning. he starts packing his stuff and talking to me while i sit on the bed once he finishes its 2:34 pm.

he crawls into bed with me and pulls me in and wraps his arms around me.

"i'm gonna miss you" he says

"i'm gonna miss you to handsome" i say back

i look up at him, our faces close like the night we first kissed.
