The way you should be loved

Chapter fourteen

We soon arrived at the mini-golf we went to for our second date.

"I can't wear this dress to play mini-golf. It's bad enough I can't hit the ball".

" Well change back into your jeans then".

"Then you get out then".

" Hey why?" he moaned.

"Because of your comment earlier".

" What comment?".

"OK joke to your employees". I can see the clockwork going off in his head. Then the light bulb goes off in his head. But doesn't say anything. I look at him again. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

" Oh J".

"I'm going to miss you" he cried. I move closer to him and wrap my arms around him.

"I'm sorry about the joke. I wasn't thinking. I am upset that I'm going. I know I was going to go before I met you".

" Hey don't worry about. You're a guy". He tries to smile but it isn't working. "Do you want to go home?".

" No" he replied, "Need to finish the night".

" OK, I'm going in the back to change back into jeans for mini-golf". He nods not looking at me, sitting there in deep thought with a tear rolling down his face. I quickly change out of the dress and put on the clothes I had on before dinner. "I'm ready. Do you want to come back here to change?".

He slowly moves to the back of his truck. He seems very quiet. I wonder what he is thinking. There is something going on as he is never this quiet. I sat in the front on my phone while I can hear the rustling of clothes behind me. Then the door opens and I see Jordan outside of his truck.

"You ready Beth".

" Yea just waiting on you" I look at him in his black t-shirt and black jeans.

"Come on let's go". He grabs my hand and pulls me towards the shop.

Again we are standing at hole one with me looking at the small ball wondering if I'm going to hit it. Finally, Jordan is laughing as he has been very tearful and quiet.

" Don't start" I reply.

"I wasn't gonna" he laughs.

"You're laughing at me".

" I'm laughing with you".

"But I'm not laughing".

" Sure you are". Damn him and his sexy laugh. I glare at him which makes him laugh louder. I groan and try to hit the ball. I missed three times. I pick up the ball and walk over to the hole. I dropped into the hole.

"You can't do that".

" I can and I did".

"That's cheating" he moaned.

"You are going to win anyway".

" I was going to let you win".

"No, you weren't".

" Not now".

I walk up to him and grab his t-shirt. "Why not?".

" Cos you have resorted to cheating".

"Oh really" I moved my hand running it over his body. "Oh, you sure about that". I say batting my eyelids at him.

" Don't" as my hand went lower.

"Why?" I teased him reaching my goal. He groans and closes his eyes.

"Because I will have you in those bushes over there".
