Jackson walked into the diner, cafe. Flo's. He had some mail in his hand from his place he just checked. "Mornin Jackson." Greeted Flo. Jackson stared at her. Watching her clean the countertop of the bar. He nodded with a forced smile before finding a place to sit down alone. He had always especially heard the music. Listening to it sense he was blind. Now he could see and odd thing was, he still focused on the sounds.
He sat alone and set his mail down on the table. He stared, looking around at all the other guests eating and chatting. He swallowed nervously. Such odd nervousness. Jackson closed his eyes for a moment. Taking it all in. With hia eyes closed he relaxed oddly. He opened his eyes back up ans grabbed the menu. It was more colorful than he remembered. Bright red.. Red roses.. Blood.. Red race cars.. Why was he thinking of the color red so hard? Flo walked up with a mug and asked "You wanna start sith some hot coffee baby?" Jackson nodded and stared. Watching the liquid being poured closely. Watching the streams of dark roast fall and fill the mug.
He ribbed his eyes. He had to stop doing this already. Flo set the mug down and said "I'll be back to check on you." She left. Jackson smelled the coffee. God it smelt so good. He then looked at his mail. One stood out. He opened the envelope and his eyes widened. He was being summoned to court. Cleo. He hated that woman and really hated that he had to go! He hoped he would never have to hear or see or deal with Cleo ever again! "Hey there stranger." Greeted a woman kinda rudely. Jackson looked up at her. Dark, brown , short hair in a tiny piny tail. Thick brows, blue eyes, A business suit that the top under the blazer.. Dipped very low between her tiny breasts. Way too sexy to be anyone he knew.
"I.. I'm sorry?" He apologized. Why? The woman slumped down at the bench seat across from him which made Jackson sigh in annoyance. "Don't.. sit.. Down.." He whispered. The woman raised a brow and snapped "Oh, no room for friends huh?" He started to reconize the voice and stared at her. The woman saw the paper in his hands, "That paper pretty important or you just like taking in that you can see again?" Jackson swallowed loudly before muttering "Di.. Dianna Swwann?" Asking more of. The woman giggled slightly and shrugged answering "Yeah? Who else? That's two w's, two n's. Don't forget that." Jackson leaned back in his seat and his eyes widened.
"Wow. You are not how I pictured you at all." He admitted. Dianna snickered hearing that. "What did you think I looked like?" She asked. She was intrigued. Jackson's brows raised. "Um.. Well I tried to imagine the wicked witch look. Green skin, pointy nose, evil cackle." That made Dianna laugh. Wow her laugh was amazingly beautiful! Actually she was incredibly beautiful! What fhe fuck was happening? He thought. Dianna stole the paper asking "So what's this?" Jackson didn't have time to answer before Dianna's brows lowered in question. "You're being taken to court? By Cleo De Frank?" Jackson shrugged and frowned slightly.
Dianna placed down the paper and stole his coffee, sipping it before asking "So I obviously know what Cleo did.. I mean.. She caused the accident right? Er-well, rigged the car? Right?" Jackson glared answering "She made me blind and deaf." Dianna shrugged replying "You seem to hear fine and you seem to reading just fine." Jackson snickered and shook his head. It was quiet for a moment. "So have you raced yet?" Dianna asked. Jackson frowned and hesitated showing any weakness, but.. He shook his head and admitted "I haven't even drove at all yet.." Dianna was surprised to hear that. "Oh.." She was just surprised.
"I'm sure I can.. I just.." Jackson was looking for an excuse. Dianna took his hand. Jackson immediately stared at that. "It's okay. Change can be scary." She said. Jackson looked up at her, her caring eyes and lips. "Wow.." He whispered. Immediately Dianna's brows lowered and her hand pulled away. Maybe it was the music. But he was falling for her already and hard. "I meant, wow.. Stupid music.." He played it off. Dianna looked up at the speaker and gave the music a listen. Some song talking about love. song, make believe, Conway Twitty. Dianna stared at Jackson and his stupid awe struck and embarrassed face and asked "Could you always see this good? After the accident?"
Jackson stared at her for a moment before shaking his head and answering "No.. After the accident, everything was blury. I could see shapes and colors blurred.. But I couldn't really see." Dianna raised a brow. "So how can you now?" "Um.. Some.. Crazy doctor did something to my eyes and.. It gave me full sight back." "The doctor Cleo hired?" Asked Dianna. Jackson nodded. Dianna stared before assumptions were placed, "So.. In a way.. Cleo actually helped you see again." Jackson shrugged. "I mean.. I guess technically.." "Could say if it weren't for Cleo's help, you'd never see again." Dianna added. Jackson never really thought of it that way before, but "Yeah.. Guess so.."
"Could say it's a gift that that doctor did what he did huh?" Dianna joked. Jackson nodded agreeing "Yeah..Guess you could call it a gift.." Dianna smiled replying "Well, I'm happy for you. Glad you can see again." She patted the table, sipped some more of his coffe and thanked him for the drink before getting up. Jackson stopped her asking "How about a date?" Dianna raised a brow. Jackson suddenly felt dumb. "A.. A real date.. I mean.. It's probably been a while for you.. Being a witch and all..." He joked it off. Dianna snickered and rolled her eyes. But.. Ehh Jackson was kinda cute. "Sure." "REALLY!?" he asked in such shock!
Dianna made a weird face. So Jackson cleared his throat and played it cool, "I mean really.. Yea.. Um.. I" He was having trouble which made Dianna smile a little. She took out her pen and took his hand. "Woah, okay.." He mumbled. "This is my number. I'll pick you up at eight, tomorrow night. Sound good?" She asked. Jackson nodded. Dianna smiled and left. Jackson watched her go. And some song played above from some style of Johnny cash talking about how he never got over those blue eyes. Like the universe was pushing him to go for it, for her. "Fuck you universe.." He whispered then stared at the mug. The slight reddish pink lipstick stain and print. Hmm. Dianna Swwann huh?...
Sally lay her head back over the pool side. "Wow.. This is so nice." She complimented. Lightning snickered and scooted closer to her. Pulling her chin closer before kissing her on her neck. What could be more relaxing then a nice morning swim before breakfast with the man you love kissing away at your face and neck. "Mmm Stickers.. Stop." He was killing her with his kisses. The water was up to their chests. Lightning pulled away and smiled admitting "It's hard to.. I just wanna make love to you again already." Sally laughed at his neediness again! "You are something else.. Come on, let's get breakfast then maybe take a tour of this place." Lightning sighed asking "The only thing I'll be touring is every inch of you later." He growled.
This made Sally smile and roll her eyes. Then she splashed him with the water! Lightning flinched slightly, wiping his face and hair back with his wet hands. Fuck that was sexy. Sally wrapped her arms around his neck before gazing into his eyes. They gazed into each others eyes. At lease for a couple days, it was just the two of them and no kid drama, work drama, no family drama, and more importantly no Cleo drama. "I love you Lightning." Sally cooed with such love and happiness in her eyes. Lightning smiled back returning "I love you more baby." Sally kissed his lips. Nothing could be more perfect right now...
The couple decided to take a nice relaxing walk down the beach after breakfast. Chatting and holding hands. "That was refreshing." exclaimed Sally. Lightning nodded agreeing. It was so beautiful. Walking on the beach, warm sun, nice breeze, perfect. Absolutely perfect. Sally lay her head on Lightning's shoulder as they walked. They were definitely in love. "Hey Stickers," "Yes?" "Do you even race anymore?" she asked. Lightning sighed. Not really. It wasn't that he didn't, he was just always busy with the kids, work, Cal, or Cleo drama or finding that remote. They stopped. "When was the last time you raced?" Sally asked with concern.
Lightning shrugged and smiled replying "Don't worry about it. I've found something better. You and the kids make me happier than racing. I don't need it anymore." Sally raised a brow. "You? The Lightning McQueen doesn't need racing?" She laughed! "That's not like you." "Yes it is. My racing days are over. Time I passed it down to the next generation and focused on what matters most to me." That was so sweet and caring. Not many people would understand this, to be put above racing was a huge thing. Especially for Lightning. Racing was his dream, his legacy, his future and maturing, and losing the one he loved most for so long, he realized racing wasn't all that important anymore, but Sally and the kids were.
Besides, what was it Doc said, "It's just an empty cup." Lightning exclaimed. Sally snickered and nudged him playfully. "Alright old man." She teased. Lightning nodded and kissed her head before they continued their walk down the beach. The two both saw how far they come. They made it through each other's worst sides and were together again. This time, stronger than ever before and nothing would come between the new found couple and family they had. Or at least Lightning hoped...
The restaurant the couple picked to enjoy for dinner that night was outside under some beautiful gazebos. Buobs hanging from the sides as dim lights and a purple sunset that was absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. A small table fire as the center peice of the small round table sat between the couple. It was next to the pool, it was quiet. A lot of other couples enjoying the very same sunset and relaxation. Sense it was near the pool, most couples were in their swimsuits already. Sally wasn't though. She was in a long maxi dress with sunglasses on her head holding her bangs back, sandles. She looked absolutely beautiful. The purple sunset gleamed off her newly soft tanned skin. Her eyes of teal blue popped in the perfect way.
Lightning in a more casual attire of a t shirt and cargo shorts, which he rarely wore. He did have some nice legs though. Anyway, The two ordered the special of the night and some drinks. This place was just a mood setter. Lightning gazed at Sally, watching her look around at the scenery, the people, the sunset. "You look beautiful." He complimented. Sally looked over at him and smiled. The waiter brought their wine out and left. Sally sipped the pink tinted drink. It wasn't bad, but was quite bitter.
"So.. You brought something special for this occasion hmm?" Lightning asked. Sally nodded and took another sip. "What is it?" He asked. Sally set down the glass answering "Oh no. It's a surprise. I mean, you could guess." "If I guess right, will you tell me?" "Sure." Lightning sighed and thought for a moment. Hmm. "I'll start with color. Black?" he asked. Sally smiled answering with a shake of her head. So back to guessing. "Traditional white maybe?" he asked. Sally snickered. "Oh definitely not!" she answered. "Okay, okay..Um.." He thought for a moment. "Um.. Red?.." He asked unsure. Sally hesitated a nod. Lightning snickered. "So it's red?" he asked and she nodded.
Intriguing little tease. "Okay.. One piece?" he asked. Sally didn't answer. "Must be more than once piece." Lightning exclaimed. Still,no answer from Sally. Lightning began thinking. What could she have bought. He knew it was red. "Let me try the materials.. Silk?" She shook her head and sipped her wine. "Must be lace. You always liked the feel of silk and lace against your skin." he guessed. Sally snickered and replied answering "I do and yes.. Lace.." "Hmm. Red and lace.. This is absolutely killing me." he admitted. Oh it was. It was sending blood to all the right places. The waiter reappeared with their treys. Setting both plates covered by domes down in front of Sally, then Lightning.
The waiter pulled the domes up revealing the freshly cooked steak withobster tail and dressing on each side. "Thank you." Sally exclaimed before the waiter poured more wine and left them alone for a while. "This looks good doesnt it?" Sally asked. Lightning nodded, but was still guessing what in earth she had brought that was red and lacey. And he would continue to think about it as they enjoyed their delicious dinner. "Two piece?" He asked. Sally shookher head. So red, lace, not one or two, "Three?" Lightning then asked. Sally had to think ans mentally count in her head before nodding as she ate. Lightning smiled. Getting closer.
"Hmm.. So wired bra?" He asked. Sally shook her head. Must be more comfortable because the way she shookher head was way too quick. "Bralette?" Lightning asked. Sally smiled discreetly, but that was a yes. Awe.. Red lace bralette. Must be a set so, "Lace thong?" He guessed. Sally shook her head. "Those tight panties that hig your ass?" He asked. Again, shake of her head. Dam. Not a thong, not cheekies. "Plain red lace panties?" he guessed. Sally again, shook her head. Lightning's brows lowered as he snapped "You're being a tease. You know that?" Sally smiled and nodded. That was cruel of her.
Dinner continued, the wine was finished off gently. "Maybe.." Lightning began to guess again, but Sally stopped him asking "Why don't we just get to the room and you can find out?" She giggled saying that. Lightning's eyes widened. "Um, yes please." He replied quickly! Sally rolled her eyes and leaned over asking "I'm not that good, am I?" Lightning snickered in disbelief "You are way better than good! You have literally had me begging at this point.. So do you really need to ask that?" he asked. That only made Sally smile. Lightning began to get up, but Say stopped him."But." She said. "This time.. We do this my way. Got it?" She asked. Lightning stared a moment into her eyes. She was serious. He swallowed and nodded. But with a memory in the back of his mind he snapped "Rules."
"Rules?" Asked Sally as she stood up next to him. Lightning nodded ans firmly explained "You WILL NOT put any type of toy in my mouth or NEAR me." "Or what?" she asked. Lightning stood shocked. "Or what? Seriously?!" he asked. Sally laighed slightly ans assured "I won't be using toys on you. Trust me. Been there and not going there again, but.. You must remain seated and NO touching." She began to walk away. Lightning stood a minute and mumbled "No touching? Wait what do you mean by tha" he asked as he caught up to her side. Sally smiled explaining "Keep your hands to yourself at first. No touching." "So.. I can't touch you?" he asked as if he were a child not understanding the words, DO NOT TOUCH!
Sally sighed and repeated "No touching. You touch me without my permission and it ends right there and then." She was serious! Lightning immediately felt the need to snap! "Excuse me.. But"-"But nothing. My way this time." She interrupted. Lightning sighed and growled "Fine.. Just keep in mind, you are so getting punished for this later."...
