I know it's been forever and I can't say how sorry I am. Words cannot express my sorrow. But hopefully the words in this can make up for the time! Enjoy!
Aalliinnaaaaa – Thank you so much for your review! I'm glad you have enjoyed the story so far!
Dedenikki1415 – Thank you for your review. Jealousy and choices are in store.
6Ellie6 – The party is going to be exciting…and that's all I'm going to say.
"So I have the perfect place for the party!" I said, walking up to Lisa and Kain.
"Jesse let you….no? Where then?" Kain started, exciting but confused as I shook my head no.
"My family's ranch! My staff wants to throw a barn dance for me and I thought this could be a joint thank you and meet Jesse thing." I said.
"Sounds good to me." Lisa said.
"Now we need to promote it somehow. Everyone is going to Whitney's party." Kain said.
"Not when we're done. Spread the word and I have posters. I'm gonna put these is the court area and outside of the office." I said.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Lisa said.
"Everyone is talking about Rebecca and Jesse. Everyone loves a star." Kain said.
"Jesse hurry up! We are going to be late." I said, tugging on my dress from nervousness. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to look good next to Jesse.
"Sorry, I couldn't decide on what to wear." Jesse said, coming out in jeans, with a white button down shirt, and a black leather jacket.
"You look great." I said.
"I've worn this before to parties before." Jesse said.
"Well hey the magazines said you were hot and that because you look damn fine in that outfit. If anyone should worry about looking good it should be me standing next to you." I said.
Jesse seemed to just look at me then. I was wearing a classic black strapless dress that fit my body in all the right ways. He shook his head with a grin. He pulled me close to him and said, "How do you expect me to let you get any father then this from me tonight? Someone else might come and steal you from me."
"We are not going into this. We are going to be late. Who's car? Mine or yours?" I said.
"Neither. We are arriving in style." Jesse said, as a vehicle honked outside.
"What do you mean?" I said, opening the door. My jaw dropped as I took in the full view of the stretch limo on the street. "Seriously?!" I excitingly said.
"Baby, you're a star. And a star always makes a big entrance." Jesse said, winking at me.
"Is there more?" I said, as Jesse grabbed my hand and pulled me to the limo.
"Don't want to be late." Jesse said, opening the door for me.
I poked my head in thinking that someone was going to be in there but there was no one. I shrugged and climbed in.
"So what's this all about?" I said, as the limo got started going.
"You'll figure it out." Jesse said, kissing me in the most intoxicating way.
"Hey distractions are illegal. Please tell me." I said, pouting.
"You'll have to figure it out. If you still don't know after the night is over I will explain." Jesse said.
"Okay." I said still pouting. Jesse just laughed and kissed me again.
When we pulled into the drive at the ranch I could hear screaming.
The barn dance stayed true to itself with mostly country western music, but there wasn't a D.J. or a stereo. Faith Hill and Toby Keith were rocking the stage singing some of their best hits and others.
I raised my eyebrow at Jesse as he wrapped his arm around my waist. "You love it out here and I'm a city boy. You love the quiet and I enjoy parties. I mixed our worlds. I'm trying to prove that me and you is going to work." Jesse said.
"Well you've got me sold." I said, kissing him.
I swear every single person from my high school showed up at the party. About half way through Avanna called and I suddenly remembered that today Michael was supposed to talk to her. "How'd it go?" I said.
"Well he doesn't hate me!" Avanna said, happy.
"That's good. So what are you going to do now?" I said.
"Well I called Justin and told him why he got the ring in the mail. He wasn't happy, but that's understandable. Michael wants me to move in with him and he wants to get married." Avanna said.
"Everything seems to be working out for you." I said.
"It only took 26 years of my life." Avanna said.
"Well it appears I'm wanted on the dance floor. I'll talk to you later." I said.
"Wait, Becca I want to talk to you sometime. Just you and me." Avanna said.
"What about?" I asked.
"Jesse." Avanna said.
"Ok." I said.
"Are you going to be mad at me?" Avanna said.
"No, but you might bring something out of me that will make me mad." I said.
"It will show you the truth." Avanna said.
"Ya well I got to go." I said, hanging up before she could stop me again. She was bringing my happiness down. Yeah I was still kind of confused on how things were right now, but I was getting less confused the more I was with Jesse.
"What's the matter?" Jesse said, pulling me close as the song changed into a slow dance.
"Nothing. I was just talking to Avanna. I guess she is going to get married to Michael." I said.
"And you're upset?" Jesse said.
"Not about that." I said.
"Then what?" Jesse said.
"It's nothing." I said, kissing him to shake off my worries. Every time he tried to pull away I kept the kiss soft and sweet and kept Jesse appealed in me.
"Ok…ok. I don't need to know…right now." Jesse said, trying to even out his breathing.
Eventually people started to leave and even Toby Keith and Faith Hill started to pack up. The party was over but I didn't want to go home because Avanna was probably still there. "Jesse?" I said, as he shaked the last person's hand as they left.
"Yes." Jesse said, brushing some of my hair from my face.
"I think we should just stay here tonight." I said.
"Is there any reason for that?" Jesse said.
"I don't want to go home." I said, walking towards the ranch house.
"Is there more to it?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah. Jesse, I've been really confused lately, but I figured it out and I want to be with you tonight." I said, opening the door.
Jesse let out an exasperated sigh. "We've talked about this." He quietly said.
"I know we have. But everything was so unsure and confusing when I remembered…Micah's party. My little world shattered again but this time you were here and put all the pieces back together in an amazing way. I know what I feel and right now I want you more than anything else." I said.
"What do you want me to say? It's not like I don't want you…I do, but…you make this so hard for me to say. I'm trying to respect you and wait until you are really ready." Jesse said.
"I'm ready!" I said, beginning to feel rejection hit me.
"Do you remember what you said about sex when we were kids?" Jesse said.
"I wanted to wait for marriage…" I said.
"Exactly. You told me you didn't ever want to rush things." Jesse interrupted.
"But I also said, unless I find that perfect guy and I know that I want nothing but him for the rest of my life." I said.
"The rest of your life?" Jesse asked, stopping his rampage.
"Yeah. I want to be with you and I want nothing, no one but you for the rest of my life. I want to marry you and have your kids. I want to tour with you and be a part of your life for as long as I live." I said.
"I was going to wait until after graduation so I could be sure. I don't have the ring with me now, but baby you just changed me. Tonight was supposed to be all about you, but you just made it about us. And that's never gonna end." Jesse said, pulling me into a deep kiss.
For a split second, I thought of my night with Kain and the passion that Kain professed that he had for me. His passion didn't even come close to what Jesse was giving me now. Kain wanted my body, but Jesse wants my body, soul, and heart.
That night I didn't do much thinking, but I did a lot of feeling. My emotions are what led me through that night and that's something I will never regret. There was nothing holding me back and nothing that could have swayed me to make love to Jesse except for my love for him. I plan to love him for a very long time.
I know, I know, FINALLY!!! Please review and let me know what you think.
Lots of LOVE,
