Chapter 6 - Secret Garden
Okay, peeps, here you go, prepare for some romance...
The day had passed quite quickly and as the three of them finally left the fair it was already six.
"So, and now?" Jack asked Serena as they reached his parked car.
"We all go back to your house and then I've got something for the two of you", the little fairy replied with a grin.
"All right", he stated, "but this time you'll sit in the back", he opened the door for her
and Serena got inside rolling her eyes.
"Whatever you say, Jack."
"Fine, let's go", Sam sighed getting in on the passenger side.
They rode to his house and Jack parked the car next to the sidewalk. He walked around and opened the door for Sam.
Serena got out and waited for them by the front door. And finally they were all inside the house.
"And what is it now, Miss Serena?" Jack inquired a little impatiently.
"I've got a secret place for you, it's out of this realm and out of time so that no one can disturb you there", Serena told the two of them, "and all you have to do is to hold hands, I'll do the rest."
Sam and Jack looked at each other and then they finally joined hands.
Serena spoke some magic words and then she sent them on their journey with a wave of her hand. The last thing she called after them was: "You have until midnight", and then the two of them found themselves in a beautiful place....
They landed in a garden with high, blossoming cherry trees that were surrounded by huge beds of red and white roses. In then middle of the deep green lawn there was a huge fountain and next to it stood a white bench.
Under one of the trees near of them was lying a huge blanket on which there were burning candles and all the stuff necessary for a romantic picnic.
"Swell place", Jack said, "reminds me a bit of the Wonderland, but without flamingos..."
"Yep", Sam replied, "your little fairy has really thought of everything..."
"I'm still wondering if we're really alone here or if she's at least watching us..."
"Oh, come on, why should she?" Sam was a bit surprised,
"At least I know that she's alone at my house", Jack groaned.
"And? She could clean up a bit..."
"All right, all right, forget it", he gave in, "let's use our time. What do you wanna do now?"
"What about eating? I'm about to starve."
"Oh, you, you've already had a whole load of candy", Jack took his arm around her shoulders and they went over to the picnic place under the tree.
"Hey", she giggled kissing his cheek, "it was a tough time, today."
During dinner both of them had a great time talking and joking about a whole lot of different things. After it they sat down on the lawn to the light of beginning dusk.
"You know what?" Jack chuckled, "I'm really full."
"That happens if you good boys always eat your plates clean fearing not get a dessert", Sam nudged his side a bit chuckling herself.
"Haha", he rolled his eyes.
"What if I'd massage you a bit?" Sam proposed.
"Huh?", he raised an eyebrow, "Have we done that ever before?"
"No, we didn't."
"Fine, go ahead, lady", he giggled resting his head on her knees.
She laughed, "Nice of you being so cuddly tonight, but you should sit up."
"Whatever ya say", he pulled himself up turning his back toward her, "not too tight, please."
So Sam gently massaged his neck, his shoulders and his back. After a while she stopped and Jack turned around to give her a long kiss.
"And now it's my turn", he whispered.
"If you want to", she sat down in his lap carefully not to hurt his knee, "be careful I'm ticklish back there", she warned him.
"Okay", he responded, but then he started to tickled her willingly.
She burst out into laughter and jumped up trying to run away.
"Not so fast, Major", he grabbed her ankle and she fell down right by his side, instantly after that she threw herself upon him and both of them rolled across the lawn coming to a stop in the middle of some daisies.
"We're so childish", Sam giggled.
"Yep", Jack confirmed with a smirk.
She pulled closer toward him and they lay together kissing for a long, long time until the sun had long set and the whole garden was lit by wax torches.
They got up cleaning their clothes from the grass, Jack plucked a handful of daisies and went over hand in hand to the bench and sat down.
"Sam? Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?"
"I'm sure you've tried", she smiled at him. Then Sam's glance went down to his hands, "What are you doing?"
"That", he unfolded the wreath he had made from the flowers setting it upon her head, "A crown for my beauty queen."
"That's too flattering", she replied, "but thank you a lot", she embraced him and gave him another kiss.
They sat there quietly, looking at each other for a while until Sam questioned, "What are we doing now? There's still time left."
"Make love?" Jack winked at her.
"Really?" she blushed, "You mean on the lawn?"
"The grass ain't too cold..." he smiled at her brightly.
So, more on Tuesday, peeps. I hope you had some fun here.
