You're Different || Jimmy Darling

Chapter 5 An Unforgettable Picnic

He grabbed my hand and lead me into his trailer. He grinned as he looked at the picnic basket I was holding.

"Now, what do we have in here?" He said as he came close to me and took the basket. He put it on the counter and opened it.

"It't just a little something, things I thought you might like." I said blushing as he continued to open the basket.

"Well food is one of my favorite things so you definitely hit the spot with that one. Man does some of this stuff look good!" He said rubbing his hands together and licking his lips. I could have sworn I melted as he did that.

"Don't go eating it now, it's called a picnic for a reason you know."

"Ah! I have the perfect place for us to go have this little picnic. Follow me." He said grabbing his radio and an old blanket. He put both in the basket before he took my hand and dragged me along with him. We walked and walked far away from camp but not far enough so that we could go back either.

"Now where in the hell are you taking us Jimmy?!" I asked flustered because I had no idea where he was taking me.

"It't a surprise! Matter a fact we are here." He said stopping in front of a lake. It was such a calming sight. The grass was greener than ever and the lake water was muggy but good enough to swim.

"Wow this is amazing Jimmy." I said turning to him.

"I know, I always used to come here as a kid to just escape from all the drama. It was like my little secret get away from everything." He put down the basket and opened it to grab the blanket.

As he opened it I grabbed the other end and we spread the blanket together on a patch of grass. We both sat down and Jimmy dived into the basket as fast as he could. He grabbed the radio and turned it on to my favorite one.

"So what's the special occasion darling for this little picnic?" He asked taking a bite of the sandwich I packed.

He handed me one as well and to be honest I totally forgot I packed those in there. I was in such a rush I didn't even know what I grabbed.

"Umm...I just wanted to get to know you better. Ya know like dig deep into the layers of the amazing Jimmy Darling." I said taking a bite of my sandwich and trying to make it look cute at the same time.

"Well I wanna dig deep into Miss Melanie's layers too." He said motioning his hand toward me.

"Ok fine, well I don't know actually. I have no idea where to start." I said as I struggled to ask him something.

"Fine, I'll start then. You new to Jupiter?"

"Yes. I moved all the way from Tampa...it's complicated ya know, family problems." I said shying away.

"Yeah...everybody's got um. It's gonna all be ok darling." He said reaching over and putting his hand on my shoulder for comfort.

"Melanie you seem distracted, something on your mind?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine I just got someone on my mind." I said because he was obviously on my mind.

"Oh...who, if I might ask? Are they from back home?"

"No, you probably won't know him." I said smiling because it was so obvious that it was him.

"Well...what does he look like? Maybe I do know him?"

"Hmm, well he has big brown eyes and he's really hand some. He's a bit different from the rest but he doesn't let that stop him. He has soft reddish brown hair and his hands are probably one of the best parts about him and he always loves to call me darling all the time which by the way is just adorable. Is that enough for you?" I asked and as I was saying all of this I had gotten up and circled the picnic blanket as his eyes followed me.

"Wow. He sounds like a pretty good guy, not gonna lie but thats pretty hard to beat when it's me." He said as he got up and held my hand. He came closer, I was shaking nervous. He just made me feel like I've never felt before.

"Yep pretty damn hard to beat." I said throwing my hands around his neck and biting my lip out of nervousness.

He smiled at me and the radio changed to a slow song. I smiled back because this moment was perfect just like I thought it would be.

"Would you like to dance, darling?" He asked as the song started to play.

"I would love to." I said gripping my hands a little tighter behind his neck.

He snaked his arms around my waist and I made sure he wasn't going down too far because I wasn't ready for that just yet. He swayed us back and forth slowly as the song continued. He pierced into my eyes and it was so amazing how much he cared. At first I didn't think he was the type to care but somewhere deep inside he had a heart. He was just so understand about everything and as time goes maybe I will open up to him but right in this moment I wanna enjoy being close to him.

The song was coming to an end and out of no where he winks at me then spins me around into his arms. As I land in his arms our faces were just inches away and our lips touched. My eyes were wide open not expecting the kiss. Finally I pulled away and I was breathing heavily not expecting it at all. He smiles as I slowly draw my hands away from the back of his neck. I was speechless for words.

"Was that your first..." He asked reaching out to my hands.

I bit my lip remembering his touching mine and I responded with a blushing head nod. I gripped his hands letting him know that I liked it.

"We should probably get going it's getting pretty late."

"Yeah I think your right. Let's pack this up. It was really good by the way, thank you darling." He said packing the radio into the basket.

I grabbed the blanket and threw it in as well. He carried the basket the whole way back as I clinged to his arm. Once we arrived back at camp it was already 5:00. Damn I can't believe we were out there for so long, I lost track of time. We snuck past to his trailer and he looked at me.

"Today was really great Jimmy...I enjoyed it a lot." I said smiling like a kid in a candy shop.

"Me too. Now let's get you home I don't want you getting in trouble because of me." He said dropping the basket by his trailer door and leading me to his car.

I hopped in and we drove off back to my house. During the whole ride home Jimmy gripped my hand as he drove. We were actually blossoming into something that I didn't think was possible. Finally we arrived to my house and sadly I had to leave Jimmy.

"Good night Jimmy." I said leaning in for one last peck on his lips. He was stunned and then finally spat out. "That's never gonna get old, good night darling." He said winking and getting into his car driving off.

I hopped up the steps and was greeted by grandmother but this time she was watching tv while rocking John in her arms.

"Shhh...don't wake him." She whispered to me across the room.

I pointed that I was going up stairs and she nodded in approval. I got changed and ready for bed. I plopped on top of my bed and curled up ready to fall right asleep. I know it was super early and mother was probably still in town job hunting but tomorrow was a work day and I wanted to be well rested for it. I fell asleep as the thought of Jimmy and I bounced around in my head.
