This is the new-chapter 4!!!!!!- All the Other Chapters should be in the right order now!!!!!PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't forget about More Than Love!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without further a-do, let the chapter begin...
Landon's POV:
I awoke the next morning with a smile on my face and the warm, sunrays penetrating my skin. I was facing the outside of the bed, and when I turned to see my Jamie, see was not there. I was at first very alarmed. I began to think none of the past few days happened, but that thought quickly vanished when I looked around at the hotel room, noticing it was not my normal wake-up place, my bedroom. I sat up and figured that Jamie was in the bathroom, but when I went in there, she was still not around. I began to panic. ' Where could Jamie be??' I decided to get dressed when I noticed that my pajama pants were not where they were last night, and that all of our clothes had been picked up off the floor from our little 'rendezvous' . The candle's-which I forgot to clean up the night before- were now cleaned of their melted wax, and neatly stacked in a pile. Jamie obviously had cleaned before she left to go wherever she did. I thought about calling our parents to see if she had called them, but decided against that, I didn't want to get them nervous too. I quickly got dressed, not even bothering to take a shower, I didn't want to waste my precious time of looking for Jamie. I knew she wouldn't go far, so I decided to ask the hotel clerk at the front desk if they had seen her. They said no, and I quickly jumped to conclusions that maybe she went to a hospital. I calmed myself down, and logically told myself that Jamie would never be that selfish to not even tell me she wasn't feeling well. I looked through the swimming pool crowd to see if Jamie possibly wanted to show off her swimming lessons that I had taught her yesterday, but unfortunately, she wasn't there. I panicked again, while I looked through the game room, golf course, tennis courts and even the hotel's bar, but of-course Jamie was not there. I was about to return to the hotel room to call the police, when I noticed an entrance to the botanical garden.
"Jamie... PLEASE be here" Landon thought aloud, he was becoming quite annoyed at the situation and even more anxious to find Jamie.
Jamie's POV:
I was sitting on the bench that was located inside the botanical garden, enjoying all of God's beauty and the sweet smells when I saw Landon rush over to me in a quick sprint.
"Oh my God, where have you been" Landon said raising his voice like I had never heard before. It actually scared me a little.
"Please Landon do not take the Lord's name in vain, and I've been here, at the botanical garden, silly!!" I said turning to admire the lovely flowers once again.
"Oh, don't you silly me Jamie... I've been running all over this hotel looking for you, and you mean to tell me, you've been here all morning"
"Yes" I said calmly compared to Landon's out of breath speeches.
"Jamie how could you do this to me. I've been worried sick ever since I woke up, you should be happy I saw the entrance to this garden, I was about to go report you as missing to the police."
"Oh Landon, where did you think I'd be" I answered smiling, wanting to hug him badly; he's adorable when he gets mad.
"Don't you think that if I knew where'd you be, that I wouldn't have been running around for the last two hours looking for you. How could you be so selfish???" Landon threatened in an angry, agitated voice.
"Landon, I left a note for you next to the clock. Didn't you see it??" I questioned him; I was in no mood to fight about this.
"Oh yes Jamie I saw the note, that's why I've been running around like a chicken without my head." Landon answered sarcastically.
I giggled at his last remark-him comparing himself to a chicken-!!! I couldn't believe he was so angry with me, but I guess I'd be worried in his position too.
"Look Landon, I'm very sorry. I promise next time to tell you where I'm going, and not just leave a note." Landon still didn't look satisfied, actually he didn't have an expression on his face at all. I pointed up my pinky finger, and stuck it out in the middle of us.
"I pinky –swear." I said with one of my childish smiles.
I had been standing there in front of Landon for what seemed like hours, when he decided to sit down on the bench behind us, not bothering with my pinky-swear.
"Umm.. Landon... Is there something you want to talk about with me."
I asked turning to face him head-on. I wanted to see his emotions, what he was thinking. He just looked at me and put his head in his hands. He soon began to shake and I knew he was crying.
"Landon..."
"What???" He said agitated again.
"Why are you crying, is it because you couldn't find me?" I asked sympathetically.
"Jamie you have no idea how worried you had me. I even went to the hotel bar to look for you. I don't know what I would ever do if I lost you, even if you were just missing for a day. Don't you understand that??... You put me through –with lack of a better term- hell!!! Yes Jamie, I've been in hell for the last two hours. I'm surprised I haven't died of being scared already." Landon answered my question with seriousness and kindness all at the same time.
"Gosh Landon, I'm really sorry. I guess I didn't realized you cared for me so much. I mean I never thought that you would call the police for not being able to find me. I never really had anyone that worried for me so much, except my father of-course. But he was usually always with me. I guess what I really mean to say is, that I would never, ever run away from you, ever. You mean to much to me Landon." I said with a sad, small smile.
Landon pulled me into a hug, which was filled with more happiness than I have ever known. He let his tears fall freely, not afraid to show how concerned he was. Once he got all of his emotions out, he pulled back and stared into my eyes.
"Jamie, I'm very sorry for raising my voice at you. I promise to never do that again. I know I scared you when I saw your lower lip tremble, so I want to promise you now that I will never hurt you. Ok, but please, don't ever scare me like that again!!"
"Kay..." I answered pulling us back into an embrace.
We decided to get some lunch since it was around 2 o-clock. Landon suggested we go to the hotel's bar. He said that they'd probably have really good food there. I agreed with him, as long as we didn't have to drink alcohol. He said yes and we were on our way.
The bar was a lot nicer than I thought it would be. It actually was a bar slash restaurant so it didn't only serve appetizers and beer. After lunch, we decided to go to the beach. I really wanted to go there. We changed into beach clothes, and hopped in our rented car to head out. When we arrived, the beach was very crowded. Landon said he wanted to learn how to surf here since the waves at Beaufort didn't get very big. I said that if he was going to take some lesson's that I would take them with him.
"Really Jamie, That would be great!!!!!!!! Let's go see if we can find a teacher to schedule lessons."
"Ok Landon!"
We found an excellent and recommended teacher, and scheduled lessons for later this week when it would be less crowded. We found an empty area on the beach and set up our umbrella and blanket. We didn't have a care in the world, but we acted like our parents, making sure everything was just perfect. I was the first to head towards the water. It looked so beautiful. It was a soft blue color, but it was as clear as glass. The ocean is what made coming to the Bahamas a number on my list. I could see all the tropical fish nearby, swimming around my legs as I jumped into the water. The sand was like velvet, encircling my feet. Landon soon joined me in the water. After about two hours of just goofing off and playing in the ocean, we got out to dry.
End of Jamie's POV!!
The sun was just about to set over the water, while Landon and Jamie cuddled up to watch it descend.
"Jamie, I had a really great time today, except for all that morning stuff, but let's not think about that."
"Landon, I had a wonderful time today too."
Landon wrapped his arms protectively around Jamie, allowing each to feel one another's body warmth. As the last of the sun was setting, the couple shared a soft kiss. Both had had another memorable and enjoyable day as being Mr. and Mrs. Carter!!!!!!!!!!
Ok... that's it. Not as long as I had hoped, but I thought that was one of the best chapters. I promise that I will update as soon as I get back, but in the meantime, keep those reviews coming. I'd like to thank each and every one of you for reviewing my story, it means a great deal to me. Also, if anyone has any AWTR stories that their writing, be sure to note them, and I'll make it a point to read and review them too!!! Anyways, enjoy the rest of ya'll summers'!!---- Kristin Marie ((
