Chapter Two

Jason made sure everything was in place. He looked at his watch. She would be arriving anytime and he couldn't wait.

Emma walked through the park and heading to where she was going to meet Jason. He had told her he had something special planned for her and it drove her crazy not knowing what it was.

A smile came to her lips, as she thought of him and how lucky she was for having someone like him. They had been together, now for three months. Three wonderful months. They were always together, spending time, hanging out with the others, there were still those times where he had to leave in a hurry. But she didn't mind. She was glad; she had forgiven him for the dance. She knew that she had strong feelings for him, might even love him. The way he made her feel, the slightest touch, caress or kiss, would send her over the hill, crazed, in a daze, asking, pleading for another, to satisfy her craving for him.

She turned down the path, where Jason was waiting for her. Her heart pounded in her chest, as she caught sight of him off a little in the distance.

Jason smiled as he spotted her, walking closer to him. He picked up one of the roses and went to greet her.

They stopped, and Jason held out his hand, holding the red rose.

"A beautiful rose, for a beautiful girl," He said.

Emma stood there; her face blushed a light shade of pink, as she took the flower from Jason. "Thank you," She said, shyly.

"You're welcome."

They smiled at each other. Both lost in their own thoughts. Thinking of the other.

Jason shook his thoughts away. He held out his hand for her. "Right this way," He told her. "I have something to show you."

Emma looked at him curiously. Wondering, what it could be. She took his hand and he led her down the path.

They came to the picnic; Jason had set up for the both of them. Emma's eyes grew big, a smile a mile wide, as she caught sight of everything in front of her.

"Jason, you shouldn't have," She said, surprisingly.

"But, I did," He said, as he lead them on to the blanket and the 2 sat down. Their eyes locked on each other. Emma smiled at him. She felt tears burning in the corner of her eyes.

Jason looked away, feeling a little shy. "I wanted to make up that night, when I ruined the Spring Dance for you," He told her.

"But I told you, you didn't ruin it. Just being there with you, was good enough for me." She felt her heart beat, love flowing through her body.

"I know. But, I still wanted to make it up to you. I told you, I would some day and that's what I did."

"It's perfect," She whispered, but loud enough for him to hear. Tears fell from her eyes. She couldn't believe that he would go through all that trouble, for something that happened 3 months ago. A picnic, in an area that would not be disturbed by wandering people or children. A place that was quiet, just for them to be alone.

"Everything is perfect, when you are around," He told her, as he looked over at her, reaching to whip the falling tears from her eyes. "I'm really glad that you are here."

Emma smiled. "Me too," She told him. "I'm glad that I came."
