Jamie stood up and turned to fully face Landon. She was filled with anxiousness and nothing but Landon's opinion mattered more to her. He stood still, eyes fixated on only her and a blank stare on his face. She waited a few minutes to watch and see that his face never changed except when he blinked. Finally, Jamie broke the silence,

" Do you like it??" she said twirling around with a little giggle.

Landon's trance broke and his features softened into a quiet smile.

" I love it…" he said generously as he went and pulled Jamie into a tight hug. " You look absolutely gorgeous… mMmMm… and you smell it too. " He said after a whiff of Jamie's heavenly scent swept through his senses.

Once Jamie fell from their hug, she led Landon, hand in his, to the blanket and champagne set on the dock. They settled in each other's arms and laid peacefully together.

Jamie looked up at the now settled stars and the full moon that gave them their glowing light. Landon's eyes fixated on Jamie, as always, and he memorized every feature that roamed her body… her eyes, nose, lips, everything right down to every curve and wave in her body. She amazed him in ways he didn't know were possible.

" Jamie…" Landon said with barely a whisper, not wanting to break Jamie's gentle thoughts.

" MmMmMm?" Jamie said lifting her eyes to Landon's face. Oh, how she loved his face. His eyes pierced anything they looked at and his lips were always so kissable looking. Oh and how Jamie loved Landon's smile. She loved how he had that one little tooth that was slightly tilted but added all- the- more to her liking.

" Can I ask you something?"

" Ask me anything..." Jamie replied, her voice drifting across the water.

" Why…", Landon said tenderly. " What made you decide to make a change."

Jamie turned to face the water again as she took some time to collect her thoughts.

" It was for you." She said breathlessly.

" Me?" Landon said a little taken back. Why would anyone ever do something for him?

" Well… it wasn't only for you. It was kind-of for me too. I've been thinking about changing lately. Ever since what happened at the movie theater..." Jamie paused as she saw a slight wince on Landon's face as he remembered that day.

" I've been thinking of starting new. Fresh. I mean think about it, we're starting our life as one now, and soon we'll be sharing it with little ones…" Landon smiled at the thought of someday having kids with Jamie.

" I wanted to start with something completely out of the ordinary, because being with you isn't ordinary, it's… amazing and surpassing of all other things. It's something I've always dreamed for. I wanted to give something back to you for all the things you've given me."

Landon was very confused and Jamie knew it so she continued.

" Landon, I wanted to change and be more, normal, if you will. I didn't like growing up in high school as the outcast..." Landon went to say something, but Jamie touched her finger to Landon's lips, silencing him.

" I know I wasn't the pretty girl or the popular one, and I certainly never expected to be the one you'd grow to marry, but you did marry me. We both fell in love and I know deep in my heart we were meant to be together. So, I decided after much thought and with the help of Tracie and Belinda, I would make a change. I'd get a new hairstyle and change my clothes, and try to fit in with society. Landon, you are so… I don't know, down to earth about everything... I just wanted to feel that way too!

Now, I have no idea what your thinking and I don't even know how you feel about my new look, I just hope that you will support me with this and not react to harshly to the change." Jamie ended her explanation with a slight sigh. She turned and looked up at Landon who was still watching her every move, intently.

" Jamie…" Landon started with a seducing whisper, "There is NOTHING that could make me not support your decisions… on anything. I love you very much and your new haircut… OoOo… it just makes you look even more irresistible."

" That was the point!!" Jamie said as one of her Cheshire cat smiles arose from her lips.

Landon had to laugh at his next thought and he tried to lighten the mood. " It makes me kind-of jealous… I mean, I always thought I was the pretty one in the family." Jamie burst out in laughter at this but Landon caught her in a sweet, short, and engaging kiss.

When they broke apart, both their lips were slightly swollen and beating red, but it didn't bother either of them. Jamie broke open the champagne and poured a little into each cup. She lifted her glass and Landon lifted his,

" To us… to all the wonderful memories we have to share and the many more we will make!!" Jamie said with confidence and a glowing aroma.

" To us… I love you Jamie!!" Landon said as he took a swig of his wine and caught Jamie's lips in another blissful kiss.

……………………………………………………………………………….

The next morning, Jamie awoke lying next to Landon in their bed. The sun from their French doors lit the room and the birds began their busy day of waking the neighborhood up with their songs. She wondered how she got to the house and she concluded that Landon must have driven them back to the house after she fell asleep on the dock. She began her day as she brushed her teeth, took a shower, and began making breakfast for Landon who was still fast asleep from the previous night.

Soon, the smell of pancakes, eggs and sausage filled the house and Landon woke with an empty side to the bed. He put on the sweatpants that were next to his bed as he made his way downstairs to greet his lovely wife, good morning. When Landon went to the kitchen, he noticed that Jamie was not there. He looked and saw that the sliding-glass door that led to the back was open, so he followed it to see if that's where Jamie was hiding. Sure enough, Jamie was outside sitting around the picnic table, admiring the water- side in the back yard of their home. Landon crept up behind Jamie and tickled her.

Jamie burst with laughter as she squirmed beneath Landon's hands.

" Stt…oo..pp.. Landon… STOP!!" Jamie shrieked as she felt Landon's hands going up her shirt.

" What?" Landon said childishly and a mischievous smile crept upon his face.

" Well, besides the point that it's only 9 o-clock in the morning on a Sunday… the neighbors might see" Jamie answered quietly, looking around for any onlookers.

" So who cares what they see" Landon said as he knelt down and gave Jamie a powering kiss that she couldn't break. Unexpectedly, a little moan escaped from Jamie's mouth, and Landon pressed on, in hopes of more. Things were really getting heated and Jamie finally made herself pull away. She pulled back and looked up at Landon as she whispered in his ear seductively,

" I liked that…"

" Then why can't we finish what we started!!" Landon said hopefully as he pulled a chair close to Jamie and leaned forward. Jamie just rose one of her eyebrows and shook her head no as a smile played upon her face.

" And why not?" Landon said offended that Jamie wouldn't continue.

" Because", Jamie said simply.

" I want a better explanation then that missy, or I just might not be able to control my actions" Landon said matter-of-factly.

" Because…" Jamie paused as she thought and looked towards the sky for an answer.

" Because you have to eat your breakfast before it gets cold and then we have to get ready to go to church."

Jamie pointed to the dishes on the table, which were filled with all the goodies she had made for breakfast. (Landon hadn't even noticed them.)

Landon grunted playfully as he took a plate and filled it with a few pancakes and sausages.
