Love in a Box

A walk

May.

"Jessie.. baby, you okay? You seem upset."

Jessica looks down and covers her face.
"I'm fine."

"No you aren't.  Talk to me." Danny sits beside her and rubs her back.

Jessica lifts her head revealing her tear filled eyes.

"Aw baby girl, what is it?"

"I wanna talk to Sarah.... I miss her so much, Danny."

"I know, baby. I'm so sorry." Danny wraps his arms around Jessica's small body.

"I'm gonna take a walk."

"You want me to go with you?"

"No.. I'd rather go alone if that's okay."

"Of course!  Be careful, and don't forget your phone."

"I've got it.  I'll be back."

"Okay." Danny smiles and kisses her lips softly.

Jessica walked to the park.  She then sat down on a bench, and pulled her phone out of her pocket.

She scrolled until she found Evan's name.

"Hello?"

"Hey Evan.."

"Jess!  What's up?"

"Nothing much.. Hey, are you busy?"

"I'm just getting off of work.  I'm visiting with Sarah."

"Oh perfect!  Evan, can you put me on speaker, please?"

"Of course.
.... Alright, she can hear you."

"Great!  Now can you step out?"

"Step out?"

"Just for five minutes, and then you can come back in!  Please?"

"Alright, I'll be back."

Jessica waits a little while before talking.

"Sarah?  Is he gone?" She whispers.
".... Okay!  Well!  Hi!  I've missed you so so much, Sarah!  I miss seeing you, talking to you.  I miss hugging you, and hearing your laugh!  I miss asking you for advice... Boy I know you'd have a lot to say about this!" Jessica chuckles through her tears. "Sarah, Danny and I are dating.  DATING! Danny!  Our Danny! MY Danny!" She smiles.

"I mean, it's 2020 so dating is very different now, but we're still dating! I know you're cracking up inside, Sar. It is kinda funny to think of us as a couple but.. we are one! And I'm so so happy, Sarah!

I'm just.. I'm so scared to have sex. What if I suck at it? What if I can't satisfy him? Or what if I hate it? What do I tell him then?  I want it so bad, Sarah, I DO!  But I can't help but be nervous! And poor Danny is going crazy right now!
.. Ugh! Why does this have to be so complicated!"

Of course Jessica didn't know it, but inside Sarah was letting her have it.

"Are you crazy, hoe? First of all.. you and Danny together is hilarious, and I will bet everything I have that you'll be knocked up by the end of the year! You need to just get over your fear and let that boy pound you til the sun comes up!
  Danny's done it before, he'll take care of you. He'll make sure it's enjoyable for you! It's time to stop being sweet little innocent Jessica, and be sexy loose, whore Jessica! Stop talking to me. Stop this blabbering and go have sex with your man, bitch!"

"Wow Sarah.. Call me crazy but I feel you've talked me into it without even saying a word!
Oh my gosh, Sarah I want to do this!  I'm gonna do this tonight!  Wish me luck, you whore!"

Jessica hangs up and runs home.
She swings the door open and Danny turns to her.

"Hey baby.  Enjoy your walk?"

"Danny!" Jessica breathes heavily.  She was slightly sweaty from running.

"Baby.. You good?"

"I wanna have sex!"
