-11 pm
"Shane" Jo called from the bedroom.
"What," Shane called back not taking his eyes away from the TV.
"Come here Sugar," Jo called sitting down on the bed.
Shane sighed, downing the rest of his beer and turning the TV off. Walking into the kitchen he threw the can away. Walking down the hallway, his nose recognizing the scent of vanilla. Shane held his breath as he stepped into the room. His eyes, searching the room. Candles of all sizes burning, the room had a soft glow. The room looked just like it had the first time they had spelt together. His eyes sweeping the room. Memories flooding back to him.
**April 8th 1999**
Shane smiled as he felt her tug him into his apartment. "Come here Sugar" she told him making her way into the bedroom. He pulled him down crushing him on top of her. His lips crushing with hers. His hands running down her body. Fingers massaging her hips. Her fingers running through his hair, pulling his face up away from her. "Tonight darling" she told him slipping out from under him. "There's a present for you in the drawer," she told him on his way to the bathroom. Shane smiled reaching over to pull open Jo's bedside drawer. Inside along with some lip gloss and a Cosmo, laid a long red box, ship name on the paper. Shane grinned grabbing the box. Thanking God that she had started making his apartment her home. Shane lent back against the head board. His fingers tearing the paper off to reveal a white box. Opening the box there laid a white and red carved candle much like the ones surrounded the room. A cream pillar, with red carving into it. He took a whiff smelling Vanilla. It was exactly like the candles she had given him each month that they were together. He smiled wrapping his fingers around the candle. He pushed himself off of the bed, walking over to the dresser. His hand setting the candle down on the center, directly in front of the bed. His hand picked up Jo's lighter from on top of her cigarettes. Sighing he pocketed the cigarettes, walking around the room he lit each of the seventeen candles she had given him and lastly the new candle. Watching as the mirror reflected the image. Setting down the lighter he walked back over to the bed throwing the cigarettes in the trash bin before stripping down. He set down onto bed pulling the covers over himself wait for Jo. Three Minutes later Jo walked into the room, wearing a black tank top and a black g-string. "You got you're present, I want mine Sugar" she told him a glimmer in her eyes. Shane gave her a sly grin crawling over her,, I'll give you you're present," he told her sweeping her into his arms making love to her, guiding himself in and out of her, his lips worshipping every part of her body. Her walls so tight around him. He was in pure heaven fighting off the urge to come till she came. Working her until she screamed his name. He finally released, falling asleep still inside of her. **
Shane stepped into the room seeing her sitting on their bed. The red and white candle burning on the dresser. It was down to a stub almost it had been lit on every important occasion, only on the important occasions, the room was littered with the other 86 candles some short others tall. Shane took her in, her legs exactly the same as they were the first time, long, muscular and firm, a rich tan. Her stomach toned and tan like before only some light stretch marks littered it her hips had a bit more weight to them but they were still firm and tight, her breast however had increased by at least a cup size from the kids, her hair still long and dark her lips whispering the words of love. Her eyes full of love, full of trust. Shane stepped back to look at her once again in a black tank top and g-string. "Tonight Darling," she told him pulling him on top of her. " Shane let go off all of his thoughts and let her take over. He felt his body succumbed to her, to the sensations she could on stir inside of him.
- An hour later -
Shane rolled off of the top of her lying back on to his side of the bed. He watched as she sat up in the bed, leaning over, opening her bedside table. She pulled out an envelope and handed it to Shane. Shane glanced over at her opening the envelope. His finger trembling as she rose from the bed and walked into the bathroom. His fingers flipped open the card, rose petals sliding out, his eyes began to tear as he read the note.
I give you my blessing, to be with Teagan, love her with all of your heart. Marry here, have children with her and be loyal to her. Please forget about me, about our babies. I promise I will take care of them, I swear on my life. I'm moving downstairs until I can find a place. I forgive you for everything, I will never regret anything. Please move on and be happy with Teagan.
Love,
Joplin.
Shane glanced up from the room. His eyes focused on the candle sitting on the dresser, a tear slid down his face as the candle extinguished itself. Shane sighed getting up from the bed; he walked over to the dresser, pulling a pair of boxers and jeans along with a tee shirt. He glanced toward the bathroom door where he could hear her gently crying. He sighed and walked out of the house, grabbing his keys, wallet, and cell phone, on his way.
*meanwhile in the bathroom*
Jo sat on the edge of the tub waiting until she heard Shane pull walk out the front door. She sighed wiping her eyes as she walked out of the bathroom. She sighed and started to gather her things together in laundry baskets. She sighed moving her things downstairs into her half of the basement. About 2 hours later she was finished. She looked around surveying the room. She had been preparing for this for a while. She had a dresser and a comforter set. She sighed before she started setting up the extra crib and changing table. She sighed glancing around the room. The futon was now a bed and made up ready to sleep in. her clothes were put away the bathroom was stocked with her stuff. Jo sighed as she walked up the stairs and back into the living area. She walked out the backdoor sitting on the porch. Reaching behind the swing, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes. She leaned back into the swing, making sure the baby monitor was still on. Glancing towards the stars, what did I do momma? I thought he was the one, I thought her was my soul mate. Why couldn't I keep him, what's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?? We used to be so in love. We couldn't be away from each other. I mean I never thought that he didn't. I guess I should've figured it out when he didn't want to get married. Momma/ where do I go now? I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do. Jo begged towards the sky.
"Just be you honey," a voice came from the doorway. Jo sighed recognizing the voice.
"Look I don't need your pity so just call Shane back and tell him I'm fine and be on your way." Jo snapped at him before she realized it. But for some reason he stayed in the door.
"I don't have any pity for you. You don't need pity." The voice said. She heard footsteps coming towards her. She gave a slight yelp when she felt her feet being lifted from the swing, as a body sat next to her. "Why don't you put that out and talk to me," the voice asked. Jo sighed putting the cigarette out as she rearranged herself so she was lying with her head in his lap. She gave a slight sigh as he started to run his hands through her hair. "You're a beautiful woman, a wonderful mother, and you'll be a great wife someday. Shane is stupid for wanting anything else. He's stupid for not marrying you when he had the chance. You are so loving and gentle, you love everyone no matter what they do or have done. I've never seen you be mean to a single person, you light up the room when you walk into it. You don't need pity; all you need is to find someone that will love you as much as love him. "He told her gently. He sighed as her eyes began to drop,
"Who'd want a 24 year old mom with 4 kids?" she asked as she snuggled into his lap.
"You'd be surprised," he told her taking in her features. She gave a slight smile as she drifted off to sleep. Leaning down he gently kissed her forehead.
"Hey man you ready to go?" the other man asked as he stepped outside.
"I think I'm going to go ahead and stay here with them tonight," he told him, the other man nodded and walked back into the house. A few minutes later he came out with a blanket draping it over Jo.
"I'll see you tomorrow man," the other guy said before walking out.
-The next morning-
Shane arrived back at the house to see the back door opened. After checking on all of the kids, he ventured into the backyard. He scanned across the yard. Finally his eyes landed on the swing. He felt his anger begin to boil as he saw the two together. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE???" he screams at the two, waking them up. "You're supposed to be my friend and you're supposed to be my girlfriend, how can you do this to me. "He asked his blood boiling.
Jo looked over at the man she loved, "How can I do what to you. We didn't do anything unlike you who is fucking around on me behind my back. So, how can I do this to you? How can you do this to ME??" she asked. As she heard the front door open once again. Sane glanced behind him before returning his attention to the couple on the swing. "Fine, but I mean come on man you're one of my best friends, you're one of my kids godparents. " Shane told him, his eyes on fire.
