Hey guys~~~~~~~
I have another chapter to post ^^
Unfortunately, I feel like this chapter....well...okay I feel it sucks... -_-
I've been so busy with school and I had slight writer's block with this chapter...
I know I'm just making excuses but I'd just like to apologize for a chapter that isn't my best work...
The next morning, Jenn called her aunt and cousins to apologize for not calling before but she was so tired, she just went straight to sleep when she got home. They forgave her easily enough because her mom had called them. John came over the next day and she was beaming. John was smart enough to come during the afternoon so she could get enough sleep. She was dressed comfortably but John thought that she couldn't look anymore beautiful to him.
"Well hello there." he said with a grin.
"Well hello handsome." she said with another smile as she kissed his cheek. She pulled him inside and they went upstairs as per usual.
"Did you catch up on sleep?" he asked, glad that she looked like she had her regular amount of energy back.
"Oh yes~ So…what brings to my neck of the woods?" she giggled.
"Not much…Dave's having a pool party at his house and we're invited." he said, indicating his pool trunks.
"And I take it we're going?" she asked with a smile. She was already going for her bathing suit.
"Oh yes! You promised I could see you in that hot little blue number." he said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. She was so glad her back was turned to him because she was blushing like mad.
"Fine, fine." she said, grabbing her suit and some clothes for over it and went to the bathroom to change. After about ten minutes, she came out with her hair better brushed, the suit on, and a tank top and shorts over it.
"Aw…I wanted to see it now." he pouted.
"You'll see it at the party." she said rolling her eyes. She grabbed her small backpack and stuffed it with a change of clothes and grabbed a towel. She found her sunglasses and put them on her head.
"Ready?" he asked with a grin.
"Yup~!" she said happily.
They left Jenn's house and she just realized that this was REALLY the first time John was driving them anywhere. She didn't really count the airport trips. She watched him as he drove and he looked good. Driving really suited him. They arrived to Dave's place after about fifteen minutes and there were already a few people there, but they were still waiting for more people to arrive.
They were greeted as soon as they stepped through the gate and they left there things where they were directed to. Jenn removed her shirt but kept her shorts on. They were cute board shorts and they matched her suit. John just looked her up and down with a grin.
"So much better than that picture." he said, kissing her temple.
"Well I'm glad you think so." she said with a wink.
The party went on and everyone had was having a great time. The girls ended up pushing all the guys in the pool, only to have the boys pull them in after. There were then quite a few rounds of "Chicken" where Jenn and John ended up winning most of the rounds. All in all, everyone was having a great time. While the guys decided to stay in the pool, the girls decided to sit out after a while and soak up the sun.
"Feel good to be back, Jenn?" Cindy asked smiling.
"Yes and no…I'll always miss Georgia no matter what." she said with a slight shrug.
"Did you see any cute guys?" Kasey asked, her eyes perking up.
"Only my cousin Brent…who is single by the way." she added giggling.
"How cute is he?" Kasey asked again. She always did this, despite having a boyfriend herself.
"Very…girls are ALWAYS all over him." she said smiling proudly.
"Wanna hook me up?"
"Kasey! You have a boyfriend!" Jenn exclaimed, trying not to giggle.
"I know…I can look, but not touch." she defended herself. The other girls just rolled their eyes.
They continued to talk and, of course, take pictures. John and Jenn made sure to get plenty of pictures together. As the sun went down, they had to wind the party down. Everyone changed their clothes and they had to say goodbye for the time being. John and Jenn said goodbye to their friends and headed on home. It was a long day; fun, but long.
By now, it was about July. They missed spending the Fourth of July together but that wasn't that big of a deal because John had to spend the time with his family. They left the party still laughing about everything that happened. They were always able to have a great time with the simple things.
Over the next few weeks, Jenn and John did more and more together. John was showing Jenn around Boston. Though Jenn had lived there a while now, she hadn't been able to enjoy the sights. She did have a great time, taking pictures of everything like a real tourist. John was slightly embarrassed but hey, it made her happy and that's all he cared about.
A couple of weeks later, John surprised Jenn with tickets to a Red Sox game. It was an inter-league game so conveniently, the Atlanta Braves were in town to play them. John was smart enough to save the money he got from his birthday to get seats on the third baseline. He arrived at her house about an hour and a half before game time.
"John?" she asked smiling as she answered the door.
"You ready to go?" he asked, holding up the tickets. He was dressed in jeans and a Red Sox jersey.
"Yeah, just a minute." she said running back upstairs. She was wearing a black tank top and had to get her shirt. He waited for her in the living room with her dad. They were discussing baseball.
Jenn came back within about five minutes, wearing a Braves jersey proudly. Though she now lived in Massachusetts, she'd lived in Atlanta a lot longer and she'd grown up as a Braves fan. She grabbed her purse to buy her dad some souvenirs and enough for food. She also remembered her camera because this was her and John's first sports date. He saw her and chuckled.
"Do you want to die?" he asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
"What are you talking about?" she asked tilting her head. He pointed to her jersey.
"As a baseball fan, you should know how crazy Red Sox fans are." he said with a chuckle.
"Oh whatever. I can handle myself. Besides…I gotta show my Braves some support." she said proudly.
"You sure you wanna go down this road?" he asked cautiously.
"I was going to take my tomahawk but that would have just been too much." she said with a wink as she made her way out to the car.
They drove to historical Fenway Park and Jenn just started taking pictures of it all. As much as she wasn't a Red Sox fan, she knew how to respect where she was and this park was one of the oldest parks in baseball. Many of the fans shot her dirty looks but she gave them right back or she paid them no mind. As much as she supported a certain team, she wasn't as obsessed as most of these fans were. She would never be that crazy.
They got some food and drinks right before the game started so they wouldn't have to get up as much once the game got going. They took some more pictures together at the seats and Jenn had to deal with even more dirty looks from people. She shot them right back and she even smiled politely to quite a few people. She was starting to get a bit annoyed but she didn't want to stoop as low as they did, especially when she saw there were little kids around.
She kept her cool well enough, making sure to keep breathing and keep a positive attitude. She just sort of laughed to herself that the rumors about Red Sox fans were true. John did his best to calm her down and to help keep the peace. He'd rather not have to get into a physical altercation either.
Once the game got going, things actually got better. People were more into the game itself than starting a fight or something so she was thankful for that. The game was pretty much even, both teams getting men on base but leaving them stranded. There were a couple of runs here and there but the score was tied. Jenn took the opportunity to take a few pictures of them in the seats and of the game itself. Even she would admit she had a bit of a camera problem, but she liked preserving memories like this.
The game ended up going in Jenn's favor with the Braves winning. Obviously the fans in her area were cheering with her while the majority Red Sox fans started giving her those dirty looks again. It wasn't all bad though. John caught a foul ball that had gone into their section. It would have hit Jenn in the face but John's hand blocked it. She obviously let John keep it for his family because they were actually Red Sox fans. It would have only been fair.
After the game, John made sure to protect her from other fans that might try to jump her or attack her in anger. He wouldn't put it past some of the weirdos that attended these games. That, and many of these guys had been drinking. They got back to the car and discussed the game all the way until they got to Jenn's house.
"That was fun." she said smiling at him.
"Really? I'm sorry about the obnoxious fans though…" he said sighing.
"Hey, it comes with the territory of any sport." she said with a shrug.
"So would you wanna go to anymore games?" he asked arching an eyebrow. She nodded.
"I think it'd be fun. Oh…how's your hand? The ball came pretty quick." she asked, wincing slightly as she looked at it.
"I got big hands. I'm okay." he said flexing his hand to show it was okay. She kissed him goodnight and headed into her house and up to her room.
Over the last weeks of summer, John and Jenn got even closer. They went to the movies, played sports in the park, and just enjoyed each other's company. Jenn even convinced John to take her on a picnic in the park to commemorate their last week of freedom.
It was the final Saturday before school started again so the weather had started to get cooler. They dressed warmly and packed some warmer foods along with hot chocolate. They brought extra blankets so they could cuddle up close to one another. They got set up under one of the trees and got the food set up. Jenn had made sandwiches for them and packed soup and a cheesecake for dessert with the hot chocolate.
"Damn girl…you did all this for me?" he asked, noticing there was quite a bit of food.
"Of course…and for me too, but I know it's because you eat a lot." she giggled rubbing over his stomach.
"You saying I'm fat?" he asked, arching his eyebrow.
"Of course not. I'm just saying you eat a lot." she teased, kissing his nose.
"Okay, okay…so are you gonna feed me?" he asked like a kid.
"Maaaayyybbeeee~ do you want me to?" she asked with a giggle.
"How about just the cake?" he said chuckling.
"Sounds good." she said handing him a sandwich so they could eat.
They ate in relative silence, taking a few moments here and there to readjust the blankets or to get a sip of their drinks. Jenn nuzzled her head against John's neck affectionately, feeling very warm and comfortable. After a while, they were both done and it was time to partake of the cheesecake. She took out the plate and the fork and took the first bite. She then readjusted and fed him a bite.
"Good?" she asked smiling brightly. It was her first try at making cheesecake and it was actually pretty good in her opinion.
"Yeah, actually. It's really good." he said honestly. She could always count on John speaking the truth, despite if it was brutal or not.
"Yay. That makes me VERY happy." she said giggling.
"Does that mean I get more cake?" he asked brightly.
"No…but you do get an extra kiss or two later." she laughed, feeding him some more.
"Works for me." he said happily as he ate some more.
They finished up their picnic and took their time packing up. John took her home and they just sighed. They obviously weren't ready for school to start up again. They began kissing passionately, John's large hand cupping her face and stroking her features affectionately. They pulled away with smiled on their faces as she started to get out of the car. As she got out, she felt a hand pinch her backside. She blushed and squeaked as she turned and John winked at her.
She waved him off as she went inside to finish getting her things for the first day of school ready. She really didn't want to go back to school. Then again, what kid does?
I promise my next chapter will be better
