katewillsandezria: "Prompt: Jackson and April go on vacation without the kids (for the first time) without their kids or kid 😊"
Sometimes prompts come in and I know right away they're going to be for one of my AU worlds and it just feels so perfect. I know I've done a few now but I feel like Mariah's world is rarer. But I knew this fit there right away. Hope you like it. This is just a scene. 100 Days is a lot of scenes.
100 Encore, Day 29: "Stop Talking"
"Babe come on…don't call. Not today at least….we're in Italy…have a cannoli with me, il mio amore." April put the box on the table next to her and flopped down on the bed, kicking her legs up in the air with glee.
Jackson smirked. "What, are you fluent in Italian now, Mrs. Avery?" But he didn't put down the phone or join her in bed. "I just want to hear her voice…dinner was good I just…."
"And we have plans for after, right Jackson?" She gave him her best "come get me" eyes.
"Yes, of course…I just….don't you miss her?"
"Of course I miss her, Jackson. But I didn't spend a year planning the wedding and this honeymoon to lay in this bed alone. Mariah is fine. She's with your mother."
"How are you not worrying, April? You've been with her pretty much every day for two years…I can't believe you picked Italy…"
She raised her eyebrows. "You can't? Really? After what you just said?" Jackson finally sat on the bed and April reached for the box of pastries next to her. She took one out and fed Jackson half, excited to quiet him.
"Mmmm…" He kissed her cheek. "That was amazing." He picked up the other half and started toward her mouth. "But what do you think she's doing?" he asked, pulling his arm back right before the sweet treat touched her lips.
April tilted her head back in frustration and closed her eyes. "What do I think she's doing? I have no idea….I asked Catherine to take her outside for exercise at least an hour a day….I left word games, puzzles…she's doing one of those things. Or they are out…who cares?"
Jackson stared at his wife in disbelief. "Who cares?"
"Yes who cares! We just had an amazing wedding to celebrate us and Rye and my progress and thank you. But now I wanna have sex Jackson. Sex. And I wanted a little bit of romance. But it's cool, I'll feed myself dessert and undress myself and please myself while you…what? Pace?"
"I'm just gonna call and then I'm all yours….I promise. I just need to…do you want to talk, too?"
"Nope not tonight," she shook her head, mouth full of cannoli. "Just gonna lay hear and get comfortable while you do what you gotta do…"
"Hey, you know I love the reveal!" Jackson whispered, indignant. But he was dialing.
"Mom? Yeah, we landed this afternoon…is she there? What are you doing? Can I talk to her? Hi Rye it's daddy…hi…yup, daddy…hi…I can't color with you baby, I'm not there. What are you coloring? A doggie? cool! i can't wait to see it soon! I love you Mariah…bye baby….bye, bye…"
April smirked as she watched her husband talk to his mom and daughter, completely oblivious to his wife stripping on the bed. She slipped out of a dress to reveal the lace underwear she had chosen so carefully. She was completely naked and seriously considering pleasing herself by the time time Jackson turned around. She just smiled and slipped under the covers when his eyes widened.
She didn't know why he was so surprised, she told him she wanted sex. She loved being a mother but she planned to make the most of her two-week honeymoon. She had been through a lot to get exactly where she was, and wanted to make the most of it. She also wanted to make another baby. and obsessing over Mariah was not help in that particular quest.
Thankfully, Jackson got the hint. "Gotta go Ma, talk tomorrow…OK, OK, yeah, bye…"
"Oh you're ready now?" April asked as he finally climbed into bed.
"All yours," he grinned, kissing her. "She was coloring…"
"Seriously Jackson?" she stopped him from kissing her again but was smiling. "We're on a honeymoon. You know what's cool about that? We don't have to worry about our kid…We just have to worry about making a kid. So just be here with me, alright? Me! Here. On this continent. In this hotel room. In this room. In this bed. Right now. I have actually been all yours all night and you've been somewhere else completely and I…"
"You just want some sex?"
"Yes!"
"OK, stop talking then." she rolled her eyes, but complied. No matter that he'd been the one talking all night. She wanted the path to the quickest orgasm, and calling him out would not get her there.
