This story takes place in an alternate universe where Link has no kids and is divorced.
Jaden has just moved to L.A. after a messy divorce with her ex-husband, Jack. She just happens to move in next door to Link Neal and they become very close. Re...
Knock knock knock! The sound of the door being hit sounded. I smiled because I knew it was Link. I wasn't quite ready yet so I yelled "It's open!" And the door opened. "Hey, Jaden. Where are you?" I smiled as I kept applying makeup to my face. "In here!" I screamed and Link popped up at the door. He watched me finish my makeup and smiled the whole time.
I finished and turned to him. "So, where are we going tonight?" He smiled and said "That's for me to know and you to find out." he pushed his glasses up and turned away walking toward the living room. He looks so cute when he pushes his glasses up like that.
We retreated towards the living room where Link then asked "Are you ready, M'lady?" and he grabbed my hand and led me towards the door. He opened the door, led me down the steps, opened the car door, and closed it before getting into the driver side. I wondered why he was being such a gentleman and then I actually inspected him. He was wearing a t-shirt with a fake tuxedo on it and a pair of skinny jeans and his mythical hoodie. I smiled at his cheesiness.
We hadn't really been on a date in public yet and I figured tonight would be the same. So I was wearing a cute spaghetti strap tank top with a jean jacket over it and black skinny jeans. I was wearing a pair of beige flats and had a black purse with a long strap on in. (picture below)

"C'mon, Link." I said in a whiney voice, "where are we going? Please tell me." I looked over to see if he was going to cave in. The corner of his mouth curved into a smile. "No." I furrowed my brow, and shifted to look out the window. We were just outside of town when I felt Link's warm hand wrap around mine. I shifted my attention from the field outside the window over to Link, who smiled at me. All of the feeling left my body and I smiled back as the butterflies floated in my stomach.
We pulled into a driveway that had a barn at the end of it and I looked curiously over at Link. He looked over at me and smiled slyly. We pulled into a grassy area and Link got out and said "stay here. I'll be back in a minute." and he ran off into the barn. He came back with a stack of something in his hands. Books, maybe. I wasn't sure until he got into the car and asked me which of the movies I wanted to watch. There wasn't a very good selection. Grease, The Wizard of Oz, Breakfast Club, and Poltergeist. I chose to watch Poltergeist because it was the only one I hadn't seen.
Link smiled and said "good choice." He ran off and came back about five minutes later and there was a movie playing on the side of the barn. I smiled in awe at Link's creativity. This was my new favorite date with Link. He got in the car with a toothy grin and closed the door. He reached across the car and into the glove box where there was a lot of candy that came falling out onto the floor in front of me and into my lap. I dropped my jaw and kissed Link's cheek as he was trying to gather the candy. He stopped and looked at me. I smiled and leaned down and kissed his lips passionately. He stopped and continued to pick up the candy.
We were about half way through the movie when I realized how cold I was. I started shivering when I felt Link's warmth wrap around my hand. It made me shiver even more than I was already shivering. He realized I was shivering and started removing his sweatshirt. He wrapped it around my shoulders and moved onto the center council so that he could wrap his arms around me.
Every time I got a little scared I would hide my face in Link's chest. He had slowly moved further into my seat and we were both now sitting there when I started to fall asleep.
***Link***
We were sitting together in her seat, watching the movie through the front windshield when her body slowly got more limp and her breathing became more even. I hadn't quite gotten around to asking her the questions I wanted to ask but this was nice and I didn't want to ruin it by asking her questions she didn't want to answer.
When I knew for sure she was asleep, I moved slowly out of her seat and reached over her to buckle her. I got out and took care of the movies in the barn and went back to the car. I opened the door as slowly as possible to make sure I didn't wake her. When I had successfully got into the car and closed the door I started it and started driving home.
I had decided to just take her to my house because I knew she locked her door which meant I would have to wake her up to get into her house. When I pulled into my driveway I stopped to think about how I was going to get her inside. I got out and walked up to the door and opened it. I walked back to the car and removed her managing to not wake her up. I almost tripped on the stairs to my bedroom where I put her in my bed and covered her then kissed her forehead, and whispered "goodnight, princess." Before walking out.
I went downstairs and grabbed an extra pillow and blanket out of the closet and set up a bed on the couch. As I dozed off I thought about Jaden and what we could be.
