On My Way
Chapter 15
Arriving at the airport Jasper grabbed our bags and then my hand "come on my love, we've got some relaxing to do."
"Where are we off too?" Jasper pointed to the board once inside. "Miami?" I laughed.
"No ma'am, Key West. Miami is just the first stop, we'll board a boat to Key West, I've got a driver waiting for us there. I'm spoiling you this week Bella."
After checking our bags and finally boarding, we were on our way and I'm not ashamed that I fell asleep on Jasper's shoulder most of the flight.
"Well, look who's awake." Jasper chuckled and kissed me.
"Did you sleep?"
"I might have dozed a little, are you ready to be pampered all week?"
"Jasper as long as I'm with you, I'm pampered. You're all I need."
"Well I'm going to push it to extreme then. We've got a couple's massage, spa day, romantic walks on the beach, and we're on the adult only side of the resort. We can go out and explore or just relax on the beach. Your call."
"Let's play it by ear. No plans." I squeezed his hand.
"Sounds good. Now buckle up, we're getting ready to land."
After gathering our bags, Jasper guided me to the Uber waiting to take us to the boat.
"Couldn't we have just drove to the Keys?"
"Of course! But taking this little boat will be so much more fun." He kissed before jumping into the boat and holding out his hand for me.
The boat ride was fantastic, I had no idea Jasper knew how to drive a boat.
"I want to buy one of these after I retire from the military, taking weekend getaways or spending nights just floating. We'll need to look at houses on the lake or something." He flashed a huge grin.
This was happening, it was really happening.
Arriving at the dock, Jasper tied up the boat and we went in search of our driver.
The driver was holding a sign for us and took our bags from Jasper, Jasper telling him where we're staying, the driver smiled and held the door open for us.
"Jasper this trip had to of cost a fortune." I shook my head.
"Don't worry about it darlin', we've got plenty. Seriously." He leveled me with a look.
Arriving at the hotel, they unloaded our bags and took us in a fancy golf cart to our room.
"You've got a beach front balcony, and you're on the adult only end of the resort. We've got everything you asked for sir, just call when you'd like the masseuses, they'll come to the room and your spa services, we tend to keep those to only three couples at a time, so you've got quiet and privacy." The concierge informed us.
"Thank you very much." Jasper handed him a tip and waved him off as he tried to help with the bags.
"Now, should we rest before dinner or go look around?"
"Let's look around. It's still early enough."
We headed towards downtown and when it was time to eat he asked if I wanted to go back or if I wanted to eat somewhere local.
"Local. Some of these places look great." Walking around we found a nice seafood place on the river.
"Thank you." I looked into his eyes and gave him a sincere smile.
"For what?" he grinned.
"For everything. You were patient with me even when I pushed you away. You'd do anything for me and I know I'd be crushed if I lost you."
"Hey, I'd move heaven and earth for you. You're my forever!" he kissed me softly.
After dinner we walked back to the hotel and took a walk on the beach.
"This is gorgeous! I can't believe the water is actually warm." I laughed when Jasper picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him, kissing him deeply.
"I hope you know how much I love you and can't wait to start our forever." I nodded, because I was about to cry. "I'm not reenlisting. I can't have our marriage start out like this, never seeing each other. I'm going to teach at the high school."
"What? But you love the military." I was surprised.
"But I love you more. I wasn't joking when I said you're my forever. I don't want to have to spend months away from you. I want us in bed every night together. Always apologizing after fights, not going to bed angry, I'm going to fight for us every day, even if there's nothing wrong, I'm never losing you." The kiss he gave me after his speech let in all come through.
"Jasper, I'm speechless." I hugged him tightly.
Walking back to our room we showered together and then snuggled in with a movie.
"I want this forever." I kissed his chest.
"And little kids one day too." He kissed the top of my head.
"Really?" I sat up to look at him.
"Yes. I want two boys and a girl, but I'll take anything we can get."
"I want that too." I fell asleep on Jasper's chest, like I always did while watching the movie and him running his fingers through my hair.
I woke up to an empty bed and heard the shower running, tip-toeing into the bathroom, I stepped into the shower and wrapped my arms around Jasper.
"Mmmm… I was wondering when you'd join me." He chuckled.
"What's on the agenda for today?"
"How about a boat tour? They have one leaving in an hour. They serve breakfast and snacks, then when we get back some lunch and the beach?" Jasper asked.
"That sounds like a lot of fun."
We finished showering and dressed.
Jasper pulled on a pair of khaki's and a tank top, along with his flip-flops. "Well, you look comfy." I smiled. Not used to seeing him dressed like that.
"You need to get clothes on. It's hard for me to concentrate." He pointed to the bulge in his pants.
"Jasper, I'm in a robe? How sexy can that be?"
"It's not the robe, it's what's NOT on underneath it." I shook my head and finished getting ready.
I put on the outfit that Alice had packed, it was a white halter top with blue detail and matching white shorts. The outfit was a light gauze material and I put on the matching white sandals.
Walking out, Jasper let out a low whistle "I hope there's not a lot of men on this cruise today" and I laughed.
"Jasper, please. I'm sure there's other women that are much more beautiful than me."
"Don't say that Bella. You're the most beautiful woman I know."
I rolled my eyes. "Let's go."
We headed for the cruise and the yacht was beautiful.
"Jasper, this is beautiful. Thank you."
"Hmm… Look at these men staring at you." He pouted.
"Blame your sister." I laughed.
"I'm taking your picture and texting her, telling her she's disowned."
"Be nice. I thought you liked the outfit?"
"I do! But so, do these other men." He glared.
"Please don't go caveman on me. Protect me." I fluttered my eyelashes.
He chuckled and shook his head.
Breakfast was fantastic. Anything you wanted, they had. Jasper snuck me a mimosa, but after that I had a coffee and then water, it was hot, and I didn't want to get dehydrated.
"Enjoying yourself?" Jasper wrapped himself behind me.
"Immensely." Sinking into his embrace and enjoying the scenery.
"Me too." He kissed my neck.
"I can't wait until we're together all the time." Leaning back and kissing his cheek and he smiled.
"Soon babe, soon. I'll come back home and be a teacher, we'll get a house, get married, travel and have babies."
"You make is sound so easy." I laughed.
"It will be. We can do anything with each other." He promised. "Our forever has already started." Jasper squeezed me tightly, placing kisses on my neck.
"Forever. I like the sound of that."
We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon on the cruise before heading back to the hotel and taking on the beach; if Jasper thought this outfit was skimpy, he's going to die when he sees my swimsuits.
Smiling I grabbed my bag and told him I'd be out in a few.
Opening the bathroom door, I knew I'd made the right choice.
