Chapter 13
They watched the movie for about half an hour when Jenna started to feel restless. She felt bad about teasing him earlier, but he had paid her back with that mind blowing kiss. She had forgotten how good of a kisser he was. "Seriously, are we going to sit here all night and watch this movie?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do? We can do anything you want to do, Jenna. Just say the word, and we'll do it."
She thought about it for a couple of minutes. She wondered if her friend Michelle still lived in Marietta. "Hey, do you know if Michelle Jackson still lives in Marietta?"
"Not a clue. Last I heard she had married some doctor she had gone to college with. Why?"
"I don't know. I thought it might be fun to see her again. Haven't seen her since..." she trailed off, not wanting to mention that night she left Cody.
"Since you left me. It's all right, Jenna, you can say it," he replied tensely, moving his arm from around her shoulders. "How long did Michelle know you were leaving me before you actually did it?" he asked softly, not really wanting to hear the answer.
"Not long. A few days."
"So, you were so unhappy with me and wanted to leave, but instead of being an adult and talking about it with me, you just up and left?"
She looked down at the floor as she felt her face turning red. "Cody, I really don't want to talk about this right now. I really am really sorry for everything that happened. You know that, right?"
"We're going to have to talk about it sometime, Jenna."
"But, we were having such a nice time, do we have to do it now?" she asked as she moved a little bit closer to him. Once again, Cody felt his heart rate pick up a little, just by her moving closer to him.
"No. I guess we don't. We do need to talk about what we should do tonight, though. It's only 7:00, I don't want to go to bed yet...unless you do..." he trailed off as he winked at her.
"You are impossible," she giggled.
"So are you."
"Nice."
"Thanks."
"Do you want to go out or stay in?" she asked.
"Don't care. Whatever you want to do."
She sighed. She had no idea what she wanted to do tonight. "You wanna go out and get a drink?" She was so bored. If she was home in Minneapolis, she would be headed out to a club out in Dinkytown tonight, not sitting at home watching a boring movie.
"Sure," he said moving off the couch. About twenty minutes later they were ready to head out. Cody was waiting downstairs while she got ready. He sighed, looking at his watch; she always took so long in the bathroom. When she finally came down the stairs, he knew all the time she spent in the bathroom was well worth it. She left her brown hair down, wearing a simple pair of blue jeans and high heeled boots. His breath caught when he took in her red sleeveless, low cut top.
All of the sudden, Cody didn't want to go out anymore, he wanted to stay home and stare at his wife. "Wow. Jenna. You look, you look amazing..."
She blushed and mumbled "Thank you."
"Ready to go?"
They drove to a small club in the city. It was kind of awkward being in Atlanta again for Jenna. She hadn't been 'home' for a long time. She had been in the city a couple of times over the years for business, but never made it a point to seek out any of their old friends. Lots of people seemed to know Cody; she remembered a few of them, but not many. The people she did remember, knew how she had left him without an explanation and were kind of surprised that she actually came back and was here with him tonight.
