It's the day before Valentine's Day and I am working the bar at the Mayan clubhouse. I'm wiping the bar down when Bishop walks up and says "Jenna, I know it's short notice but do you have plans for tomorrow?" I look up at him and say "Nope. You need me?" I ask. "If you don't care. I know it's your night off but we're having a Valentine's party and could use an extra girl." he tells me. "I'll be here." I tell him and he kisses my cheek and says "Thank you Sweetheart." I smile and nod before he walks away. I finish cleaning the bar and start making my list of what needs to be restocked. "EZ, can you help me get the bar stocked?" I ask and he nods before following me to the back to get what we need. While we stock the bar and fill the coolers, EZ asks. "You got any hot plans for Valentine's Day?" I shake my head and say "Bishop asked me to work the bar." I say. "You didn't have plans?" he asks. "I don't ever have plans for Valentine's Day. Just sitting at home with netflix and a bottle of Jack." I say. He looks at me and I start explaining. "I hate Valentine's Day. The last Valentine's Day that I even attempted to celebrate, I walked into my home and found my fiance and my sister in my bed." I tell him. "Shit." he says. "Yeah. So I don't celebrate Valentine's Day." I tell him before we go about stocking the bar.
After I head home for the night, Gilly walks up to the Prospect and asks "What were you and Jenna talking about?" EZ looks at Gilly and says "Just about her working tomorrow night." Gilly looks at him and asks "She doesn't have some big date or some shit?" EZ looks at him before saying "She said she doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day. Last time she did she found her fiance in bed with her sister." Gilly looks at him shocked and says "Shit. That sucks." EZ realizes that Gilly has a thing for me and says "She said she normally just hangs at home with Netflix and a bottle of Jack." That gives Gilly an idea. "Thanks Prospect. You got plans?" Gilly asks. "No. Why?" EZ asks. "You're working the bar tomorrow night." Gilly says and EZ smirks and says "Will do." Gilly walks over to Bishop and says "Prospect says you got Jenna working the bar tomorrow night." Bishop looks up at Gilly and says "Yeah. Why?" he asks. "Prospect can take her place, can't he?" Gilly asks. "I guess so. What are you thinking?" Bishop asks. "I just have something planned for her. Little surprise." Gilly says. "I'll let her know to enjoy her night off." Bishop says smirking.
The next morning, I walk into the clubhouse and Bishop walks over and says "Hey sweetheart. Just wanted to let you know we won't need you to work tonight. Looks like we'll have enough people after all." I nod and say "Okay well if something happens call me." I tell him. He kisses my cheek and says "Enjoy your night Sweetheart." he tells me. I go about my day and when it's time to leave, I say good night and head home.
I'm sitting at home, taking swings from the bottle of Jack and watching a sappy romance movie on Netflix when there's a knock on the door. I look out the peephole and see a teddy bear but can't see around it. Opening the door, the teddy bear moves and I see Gilly standing there. "Gilly? What are you doing here?" I ask. "I came bearing gifts and dinner." he tells me. I move and let him in and he follows me to the couch. "Netflix and Jack? That's not a Valentine's date." he says. "I don't do Valentine's Day." I tell him. "Well, lucky for you, I do." he says as we sit down and he hands me the bear and starts unloading the food. I look at him confused. He stops what he's doing and says "No woman should hate Valentine's Day." I shake my head and say "Well, I have good reason." He looks at me and says "Why? Because one douche didn't know a good woman when he had her?" he asks and I look at him even more shocked. He pushes my food in front of me and says "Eat." He picks up his food and looks at the TV and asks "What are we watching?" I look back at the TV and say "The Notebook." Gilly puts his arm around me and pulls me into his side and says "I love this movie." I move away from him and ask "What are you doing?" He smirks and says "I thought it was obvious. I'm spending Valentine's Day watching chick flicks and having dinner with a beautiful woman. Now, come here." he says. I move back over next to him and he pulls me back into his side and I relax next to him.
I must have dozed off during the movie because I wake up on my couch, snuggled up with Gilly and his arms are around me with the blanket I kept on the back of the couch pulled over us. I go to move and he starts to stir, pulling me closer. I still have my head on his chest and feel him kiss the top of my head. I look up at him and say "Morning." He smiles softly and says "Morning." We sit up and I look at him for a second and say "Thank you Gilly." He smiles softly and cups my face. "No beautiful woman should spend Valentine's alone." I look at his lips and then his eyes before leaning in and kissing his lips softly. He kisses me back, deepening the kiss and when we separate he says "We are so doing this again next year." I laugh and ask "I gotta wait an entire year?" Shaking his head no, he says "Hell no. This is going to be a regular date night." Pulling me close, I lean against him and asks softly "Date night?" He tilts my chin up to look at him and says "You're mine babe. No more being alone." I smile and say "I'm good with that." before placing another kiss to his lips just for him to deepen the kiss until we are both breathless. When we separate, he says "Get dressed and we'll hit the diner. I'm starving." I can't help but laugh and kiss him one more time before getting dressed to go out to breakfast with my new man.
