The Unexpected

Wrong Signals

Yeah?!Jena jumped around happily.Nick was coming for a wedding reception in a city fifty minutes from Texas and needless to say they'd meet. He'd invited her for the reception but her dad had been over-protective recently especially with her deteriorating health.
She told her dad about the reception and he said Fred could take her there but she hadn't told him she was supposed to spend the entire night at the reception. Ugh she couldn't wait to be 18.How could a year seem so long? Nick advised she told their dad she wasn't returning that night.
"Welcome dad.How was work?"
"Good, thanks honey.About that reception."
"Dad I'll have to be there all night"
He shook his head in disapproval,"Jena I don't think you should..."
"I know the drill dad it's good. "she said cutting him mid-sentence.Nick was informed Jena couldn't make it and he wasn't returning till the next evening. He promised Jena he'd fly over to come see her after the reception.The whole night, Jena kept thinking about how she could've been by Nick having a good time. Sleep was a long way to come so she settled for a movie till about 4am when she got a text
*Hey. U up? *
*Yh. How's the reception*
*Lmao. It's more of a party now. Wild dancing*
*I'm jealous*
*Don't be.I'm thinking of you*
*Nice.Me too*
*Btw.You owe a me kiss Jena. Wet kiss*
Jena dropped her phone and grinned with her face in her palms.Nick was always such a tease.
*You there Jen*
*Yeah Nick.See You soon*
That morning,she was in the highest spirits,tidying her room,twerking in front of every poor soul and since she wasn't a good dancer,her twerk was bad. Fred knew something was up.
At 1pm, she was at the bucaro of the classic five star restaurant they'd agreed to meet in. Once Nick arrived,she barely recognized him. Dressed in a smooth,thick,slim black tux, he looked tall and handsome.Jena felt under-dressed in a white turtle neck,dark knee-length ankle boots and denim tights .Once Nick saw her,his breath seemed to have been taken away. How could she in the space of three weeks seemed to have become the most beautiful piece of art on the universe?They stared at each other for a while then Nick walked over,giving Jena a huge bear hug.
"You look good Jena"
"You too Nick"
They spoke for a while,got a couple of drinks and when Nick offered they went for a walk.Jena decided on some pretty isolated place but then she thought of the text message on the kiss and felt weird.Just before Albert left,he kissed her while playing the song "Last kiss"
The memory still hurt a lot.
Nick snapchatted her doing some silly face thing. They'd spent quite some time together and he had to leave soon but Nick insisted they continue walking.Jena wanted to with every fibre in her but she knew where this was headed so she tried protesting.
"I think you should actually get back so.. And I have to.. "He didn't let her finish he cut her off with a kiss. Wet, deep, slow, intimate,salty but before it could go any further she broke the kiss.
"Nick it's too soon.I can't"
"Sorry if I went too far Jen"
She told him it wasn't his fault and that she was very attracted to him as well but time had to take its course.Nick held her hand reassuringly. Couple of minutes later,she saw him off at the airport. She couldn't tell anyone about her ordeal Because they'd all chastise her for letting Albert have such a lasting effect. She retreated her thoughts back to Nick,thoughts of him always made her feel better but then they'd crossed a line neither of them could go back on.
