I am Widow

Chapter 29

We get properly dress and head downstairs to the kitchen. We get snacks and eat.

"Widow, why did you put this spell on me?" Jackson asks.

"I don't know, I didn't plan to though. What did I do to make you crazy?" I ask.

"I just looked into your eyes, and when I saw the rest of you, I got chills. Something came over me that I still can't explain, and I knew I needed to make you mine forever."

That is so nice and sincere. So love at first sight is real, huh?

"I know I say that I love you a lot but I truly mean it Widow."

I smile so big, from cheek to cheek, I think I look like a maniac. But would he really still love me after I tell him everything? He told me that he still would and still be with me. I calm myself, I need to tell him. Right?

"So you really wouldn't care about anything I've done before? You said you wouldn't care." I ask.

"Well, no cause that's before me and you. The past is the past, all the mistakes we done aren't important now," he cups my face, "Widow, you know you can trust me."

"Yeah, just making sure."

He smiles and kisses me softly, "You want to go back to my room?"
I nod.

Jackson tells me to get a head start. He will bring the food over to the room. As I wait I decide to scan around his room. Something catches my eye, a door. It is just plain white and like if its hiding something. I open it, there is lots of boxes and random things. I get in and look around. Each box is labeled like: toys, games, car parts, etc. I see on the top shelf a box labeled: DONT TOUCH.

Heh heh, I shall touch it then.

I climb some boxes and get the mysterious stuff. Darn it's kind of dusty, "I wonder what you have inside."

I get out of the closet and settle in bed. Since the box doesn't have any type of tape, it is easy to open. There is a picture of a baby being hold by his dad.

The baby has a big smile on his face, and his big blue eyes are sparkly. The dad look so young like 19. I wonder if this is Will when he was young. I know that the baby is Jackson since he has the same birthmark on his arm shape like a oval.

"I see you break the rule of not touching." Jackson comes out of nowhere.

I jump to my feet, "I'm sorry didn't mean to."

He puts the food on the table and he sits on the edge of the bed. He grabs the box and the picture of him. He starts to take a good look at it and touches the glass with his thumb.

"This is my Uncle Wayne, he is my mother's young step-brother. And I guess you know that's me with him."

I sit down again, "Yeah, the birthmark was the hint. You look so cute as a baby."

"Heh yeah, I guess."

"I really wish things would have stayed like this picture."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I guess just be happy."

"I thought you are, Jackson."

He looks at me and starts to chuckle. "I am Widow, you make me happy and make me feel great but I wish I can describe how I feel sometimes."

"Alone? Yet you have lots of people around you that care about you. At the same time you just want to be alone, because you are so use to being alone all the time," I say.

"Exactly, I just feel like I've been playing a part all these years, the perfect son! I actually love basketball but it is not something I want to do all my life even though I wouldn't mind,"
