Chapter Eleven- The Night
Jack had waited until Kristy's breathing was even then he got up from bed and went to Will and Elizabeth's room to set everything up for tomorrow night. Will and Elizabeth were more than willing to help; Elizabeth would take Kristy dress shopping tomorrow around noon so that he and Will would have time to get everything ready. They had all decided on telling Kristy that some of Elizabeth's family was coming over for dinner and that they were setting up for that. Once everything had been decided on Jack went back to the room, took off his shirt and crawled back into bed. Jack lay on his side and stared at Kristy, she was the most beautiful women he had ever known, he loved being next to her. Jack put his arm around her waist and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Kristy woke the next morning with her head and right hand on Jack's bare chest with his arm wrapped around her waist. Kristy loved being in his arms it was wonderful, she felt safe and loved. Outside there was a very soft glow over the port, but it was still dark inside. Kristy softly kissed Jack on the cheek and slowly sat up, she got off the bed and put her feet on the cold hard floor and found her robe and put it on. Kristy decided to go downstairs and make some tea, she quietly tiptoed down the stairs and into the kitchen where she found Will and Elizabeth already awake and having tea.
"Good morning." Kristy said as she found a cup and poured some tea in it.
"Good morning; morning." Will and Elizabeth said as Kristy sat down at the table, they had to tell her now.
"Kristy, some of my family is coming for dinner tonight at the house, sorry I didn't tell you sooner but would you like to go dress shopping later so we can both find something to wear?" Elizabeth had been practicing that line all morning with Will, she couldn't give anything away.
"Yes, that would be wonderful, so who is coming tonight?" Kristy was surprised Elizabeth hadn't said anything sooner but didn't think too much about it.
"My Aunt Jessica and my cousin Maria who is my age, then my Uncle Samuel and my cousins Joshua and Samantha; They are all coming to the wedding but I haven't seen them in such a long time that Will and I thought it would be fun to have them over for dinner." Elizabeth felt so bad about lying to her but that's the only way all of this would work.
"Oh that's great Elizabeth, so when did you want to go shopping?" Kristy loved buying new clothes.
"Sometime around noon, Will is staying home from work so that he can help get the house ready, and Will already told Jack about it last night and he said he would help also." Elizabeth was starting to get excited she couldn't wait for tonight.
"Ok, just let me know when you want to leave." Kristy finished off her tea and decided to go back up stairs. "Well I am going to go back upstairs, see you later." Kristy left the kitchen and went back upstairs and into her room, Jack was still asleep on the bed so Kristy decided to take a bath. Kristy got into the tub and sat for a while thinking of everything that had happened yesterday, she was still in shock that her and Jack had told of their love for one another but she was happy. Kristy washed her hair, shaved, and washed her body and then got out of the tub. She got most of the water out of her hair and decided to just leave it down. Kristy put on her robe and went to find some clothes, when she walked into the room the doors to the balcony were wide open and Jack was standing looking out over the port.
"Jack…what are you doing?" Kristy asked as she walked out onto the balcony and stood next to Jack he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"It's a beautiful day…I just wanted to remember it." Jack was right it was a beautiful day, the sun was only half up sending an orange and pink glow over the entire port, it was incredible.
"It is beautiful." Jack looked down at Kristy, she looked wonderful, and he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. Kristy stood on her tiptoes so that Jack wouldn't have to lean down so far but it didn't matter, Jack put his arms just below her butt and picked her up. The kiss was growing deeper, Kristy loved it when he held her in his arms, she pulled away and Jack started to kiss her neck. Kristy's hands went in Jack's hair as he continued to kiss her neck; Jack kissed her all the way back up to her lips. Kristy and Jack shared one more passionate kiss before Kristy broke away and looked in Jack's eyes.
"I love ye Kristy." Jack said as Kristy put her forehead to Jack's.
"I love you too." Kristy kissed Jack one last time on the lips, and then Jack set her back down on the ground.
"Jack, would it be alright if I buy a new dress and shoes for tonight?" Kristy asked as her and Jack walked back into the bedroom.
"Aye, and whatever else ye need." Jack handed Kristy a small red velvet bag filled with gold coins.
"Thank you Jack, do you have something to wear for tonight?" Kristy asked as she put the coins back in the bag.
"No, not yet Will an' I are goin' shopping later." Jack said as he wrapped his arms around Kristy. Kristy stood on tiptoe and kissed Jack softly on the lips.
"Well, ye should ge' ready, I will jus' go downstairs and talk with Will." Jack kissed Kristy one more time and then left the room shutting the door behind him.
Kristy decided to wear the teal halter dress with the black shoes, and then she lined her eyes in black eyeliner and pulled her hair into a bun so that it would dry in waves. Once she had picked up all the dirty clothes and made the bed Kristy went across the hall and knocked on Elizabeth's door.
"Elizabeth can I come in?" Kristy called through the shut door.
"Yes." Kristy opened the door and found Elizabeth sitting at the vanity finishing her makeup.
"I'm ready are you?" Elizabeth asked as she stood up and walked towards Kristy.
"Yes, let's go." Kristy and Elizabeth left the room and went downstairs into the kitchen.
"Will, Kristy and I are leaving now, we will be back later." Elizabeth said as they walked into the kitchen and found Will and Jack sitting at the table talking and both eating an apple. Elizabeth walked over and kissed Will goodbye and quietly talked to him. Kristy turned to Jack.
"I will be back in awhile, I love you." Kristy kissed Jack softly on the lips.
"I love ye too, be careful." Jack said and her and Elizabeth left the kitchen and went outside.
"Kristy, there is this store that I think you may like, they have a lot of pretty dresses, would you like to go there?" Elizabeth looked at Kristy.
"Yes sounds great, where is it?" Kristy asked she wanted to find the perfect dress.
"Just a little ways down from the store 'The Other Place' this store is called 'Maria's' it is the perfect shop for dresses." Elizabeth and Kristy walked down the road and passed the shop 'The Other Place' and sure enough about five shops down was 'Maria's'. It was bigger than the other shops but not by much when they walked in they were greeted by an older lady behind the counter.
"Good morning ladies, my name is Maria, if you need any help just asked." Kristy and Elizabeth said good morning and started to look at the dresses. Kristy looked at three racks of dresses and when she couldn't find anything she started to feel disappointed, Elizabeth already and two dresses in her arms.
"Kristy I'm going to go and try these on ok?" Elizabeth asked as she walked towards Kristy.
"Yes, that's fine; I'm just going to keep looking." Elizabeth went into one of the changing rooms while Kristy kept looking for a dress. Kristy came to a rack with tons of black dresses on it and found the perfect one. It was a medium length black satin strapless dress with a band of black ribbon at the top, at the bottom the sides were longer than the front and back, and it scrunched up on the sides at about the waist and had sparkles over the entire dress. Kristy fell in love with it she ran into the changing room and tried it on, she looked in the mirror and gasped it was amazing it gave her the perfect shape and it didn't come to low but it still showed some cleavage. Kristy changed back into her other clothes and walked out of the dressing room to find Elizabeth looking at shoes.
"Did you find a dress?" Kristy asked as she walked towards her.
"Yes I did, how about you?" Elizabeth looked up at Kristy as she sat down and saw that she had a huge grin on her face.
"Yes now all I have to do is find some shoes, maybe some gloves a necklace and some earrings." Kristy put the dress down on the chair next to her and started to look at shoes. She found a pair of four inch black stiletto heels; they had a strap that went across just above the toes and a strap went around her leg just above her ankle, they were the perfect shoes. Elizabeth found some red high heels to go with her red dress; they were about two inches high and had one strap that went across just above the toes. Kristy stood up and grabbed her dress and shoes and went to ask Maria some questions.
"Maria, do you have any long black satin gloves?" Kristy asked as she stood in front of the counter.
"Actually I do hold on just a second." Maria went into the back room and came back holding two long black satin gloves.
"Here hun, try these on." Maria handed the gloves to Kristy, Kristy set her stuff down on the counter and tried on one of the gloves, they were a perfect fit, they were wonderful they didn't get those little bunches at the top of the fingers either.
"Thank you their wonderful, um, do you have earrings and necklaces that would go with this dress?" Kristy pointed to the dress that was on the counter as she took off the glove.
"Yes I do, here what do you think of these?" Maria reached under the counter and took out a necklace and matching earrings; the necklace was a simple silver chain with a square cut diamond hanging from it and the earrings were small, simple square cut diamonds, they were beautiful and they went perfectly with the dress.
"These are wonderful, I will take them, the dress, shoes, and gloves along with it." Maria added up all the prices and Kristy paid her then she waited for Elizabeth to buy hers and then the girls left the shop and went back to the house.
"Were home..." Elizabeth called as they walked into the house, but no one answered. "I guess their out shopping." Elizabeth and Kristy both took their stuff upstairs and into their own bedrooms and went back downstairs and into the kitchen.
"I'm starving we need to find something to eat." Kristy said and she and Elizabeth started to look through the kitchen.
"Well there isn't too much…I could run down to the café and buy us some sandwiches." Elizabeth suggested as she walked back towards Kristy.
"That would be great; do you want me to come with you?" Elizabeth nodded and she and Elizabeth left the house to go and get lunch. They took the same way as they did to go to 'Maria's' except they turned down a road before they got to the shop. They kept walking until they were in front of 'Café Andrew' they walked into the small hot shop.
Elizabeth walked up to the counter and ordered four sandwiches. Once the sandwiches were ready Elizabeth paid for them and the girls walked back to the house. "Were home…" Elizabeth called this time she got a response.
"Were in the kitchen." Will called and the girls walked into the kitchen to find him and Jack sitting at the table. Kristy walked over to Jack and softly kissed him on the lips, then sat down next to him.
"Good, your home in time for lunch, we went and picked up some sandwiches." Elizabeth took the sandwiches out of the bag and handed one to each of them.
"How did dress shopping go?" Will asked as Elizabeth took a seat next to him.
"Great we both found a dress, as soon as we are done eating we are going to go and get ready." Elizabeth told Will as everyone began to eat.
"That's good; Jack and I found nice clothes for tonight also." Will looked at Jack with a smirk on his face, Kristy didn't notice.
Once everyone had finished their sandwiches Will and Jack stood up. "Well ladies if you will excuse us we have some business to attend to in the sitting room, you ladies are not allowed in there until tonight." Will said he then kissed Elizabeth and Jack kissed Kristy.
"I'll see ye later." Jack said in a whisper to Kristy, he wanted to spend time with her, but he knew that he had to go with Will.
"Ok, I love you." Kristy kissed Jack lightly on the lips.
"I love ye too." Jack and Will left the kitchen and went into the sitting room shutting the doors behind them.
"Well we should go and get ready we only have a couple of hours until everyone gets here." Elizabeth was going to help Kristy with her hair and makeup. Kristy went into her room and took off her dress and put on a robe and then sat at the vanity where she took off her eyeliner and waited for Elizabeth to come in.
"Kristy?" It was Elizabeth she softly knocked on the door.
"Come in." Kristy called and Elizabeth walked into the room and stood behind Kristy at the vanity.
"I think we should put your hair into soft curls and leave it down, what do you think?" Elizabeth took Kristy's hair out of her bun and it fell about two inches below her shoulders in perfect waves. "Wow, your hair is very pretty, I don't think we even need to curl it." Elizabeth left a couple pieces of hair in the front but took two small sections of hair from each side of the part and pulled it back and clipped it at the back of her head; it was simple but beautiful.
"Now for your makeup…" Elizabeth looked through some of Kristy's makeup; she took the eyeliner and lightly lined Kristy's eyes. Then she took some of Kristy's dark gray eye shadow and brushed it over her eyes and added some black eye shadow in the creases, giving her perfect smoky eyes, and then she added some mascara. She lightly dusted some powder over Kristy's face and added a very light pink lip color. "There all finished, Kristy you look beautiful." Elizabeth was right Kristy did look beautiful; Kristy stood up and gave Elizabeth a hug.
"Thank you so much…is there anything I can do to help you?" Kristy pulled back and looked at Elizabeth.
"No, I just have to get dressed and fix my makeup a little but thank you. We have less than an hour now so we should get dressed, I will come and get you in a while." Elizabeth turned and left the room shutting the door behind her. Kristy decided to put on some music while she was getting ready the song was Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls, Kristy began to sing along.
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking bout tomorrow
Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Kristy walked over to the bed and took the dress, shoes and jewelry out of the bag. She put on the dress and the jewelry then the shoes.
Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room
Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone. . .
And there's no time left for losing
When you stand they fall
Coming down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Coming down the years turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on now and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
Kristy walked over to the mirror and looked at herself, she thought she look beautiful, and she couldn't wait until Jack saw her. At that moment someone knocked on her door.
"Kristy are you ready?" It was Elizabeth she had just finished getting ready when Will came upstairs and told her to get Kristy and then come downstairs.
"Yes, coming." Kristy took one last look in the mirror and opened the door, Elizabeth was wearing a floor length long sleeved red gown, she had her hair pulled up on top of her head and her make up was the same as before, a small amount of black around her eyes, light pink eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. She looked very pretty.
"Oh Kristy you look gorgeous." Elizabeth gasped and pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you, so do you." Kristy blushed and she and Elizabeth broke apart.
"Come on dinner is ready, their waiting for us." Kristy and Elizabeth walked towards the stairs but before they started down them Elizabeth stopped her. "Let me go down first and then I will call for you in a minute ok?" Kristy gave Elizabeth a confused looked but nodded and watched Elizabeth walk down the stairs.
Once Elizabeth was downstairs she made sure with Will and Jack that everything was ready. Once she was sure that everything was in place her and Will stood behind Jack at the foot of the stairs.
"Kristy you can come downstairs now." Elizabeth yelled up to her and Kristy began to walk down the stairs.
Kristy walked down the stairs and came into view, once Jack laid eyes on her his mouth fell open, she was stunning. Kristy looked at Jack and noticed that he had taken all the beads and trinkets out of his hair, scrubbed off all the dirt, and he was wearing a very nice black suit with a nice white shirt under it and nice dress shoes, he looked incredibly handsome. Kristy reached the bottom of the stairs, where was Elizabeth's family?
"Elizabeth where is everyone?" Kristy was really confused, were they late?
"Um…Kristy, none of my family is coming." Elizabeth looked at Kristy and then looked at Jack.
"Luv, I asked Will an' Elizabeth to help me, her family isn't coming it was a lie." Jack looked from Will to Elizabeth and then to Kristy.
"But I don't understand why would you lie about her family coming over?" Kristy wasn't mad that they had lied she just wanted to know why.
"Well if ye will follow me into the dinning room ye shall see." Jack took Kristy's hand and led her into the former 'sitting room' now dinning room. There was a small table in the center of the room; it had a white table cloth over it with candles and red roses in the center. There were plates with silver covers over the top and wine glasses in front of the plates. There was a fire in the fire place that gave off a warm glow, it was beautiful, Jack and Will had done a very good job.
"Oh its beautiful Jack, you and Will did all this?" Kristy turned and looked at Jack and then at Will.
"Aye, I wanted to have a nice dinner with Will, Elizabeth, and us before we left." Kristy looked at Jack, he was grinning from ear to ear, she knew there had to be something else.
"Well it's lovely, so you just told me your family was coming over so that it could be a surprise?" Kristy looked from Jack to Will and then to Elizabeth.
"Yes, it was all Jack's idea and we thought it was wonderful so we went along with it." Elizabeth had a big smile on her face.
"Aye so come in and sit down ladies." Will and Jack pulled a chair out for Kristy and Elizabeth and then once they were seated they pulled the covers off of the plates. It was chicken with rice, corn and bread, it looked delicious. Will and Jack sat down and pulled the covers off their plates and they all began to eat.
"This is wonderful; you both did a very good job." Kristy said and then once everyone had finished Will and Jack took all the dinner plates and put them in the kitchen and came back out with chocolate covered strawberries.
"Oh my favorite." Kristy said as Jack placed a plate of them down in front of her.
"I know tha's why we are havin' them." Jack said as he sat down. Kristy looked over at Jack he seemed nervous about something but Kristy couldn't imagine what.
Once they had all eaten their dessert Jack and Will took those plates into the kitchen and then came back into the room, Jack was carrying the CD player. Jack set the CD player down on one of the side tables and pushed play You and Me by Lifehouse began to play.
"Luv, will ye dance with me?" Jack asked as he held his hand out to Kristy.
"I would love to." Kristy took Jack's hand and stood up; Jack placed one hand on her lower back and held her hand with the other. Kristy looked over and noticed Will and Elizabeth were dancing.
All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you
Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
The music had gotten quieter; Kristy looked over and noticed that Will had turned it down; Kristy looked up at Jack with a confused expression.
"Kristy, ye are the best thing that has ever happened to me, I know that I will always love you and nothing in this world can change that. I love ye with all me heart…" Jack got down on one knee. "Luv, would ye marry me?" Jack looked up at Kristy she had tears running down her face, his eyes were wet and he was close to tears.
"Of course I will." Kristy could barely whisper the words she was so happy. A few tears escaped Jack's eyes, he put the ring on her finger it was silver with three small diamonds in the center. He stood up and kissed her with all the passion he had. Kristy wrapped her arms around his neck as Jack lifted her up.
"I love you." Kristy whispered in Jacks ear. "And I always will, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me."
"I love ye too, I will always be there for ye, and ye have made me the happiest man alive." Jack and Kristy shared one more passionate kiss and then Jack placed her back on the ground.
Elizabeth and Will walked towards them. "Oh congratulations you two are so cute together." Elizabeth had been crying she was so happy for them.
"Thank you Elizabeth for everything." Kristy gave her a big hug as Jack and Will shook hands and wrapped their other arm around each other. Once they had all broken apart Kristy walked over to Will and Jack walked over to Elizabeth.
"Thank you for all that you have done for me Will, Elizabeth is lucky to have you." Kristy kissed Will on the cheek and gave him a hug.
"And Jack is lucky to have you, come and stay with us again." Will said as he and Kristy broke apart.
"Thank ye Elizabeth, I couldn' have done it without ye." Jack said and then he kissed Elizabeth on the hand and gave her a hug.
"You are welcome Jack, I am so happy for you." Elizabeth said in Jack's ear and then they broke apart.
"Will and I are going up to bed, see you in the morning." Will took Elizabeth's hand they grabbed a candle and they went upstairs.
"Oh Jack…you are so good to me." Kristy said as she walked into Jack's arms.
"Luv, ye have no idea how much ye mean to me and how much ye do for me." Jack kissed Kristy softly on the lips and then put one hand just under her shoulders and the other at her knees and lifted her up she laughed and kissed Jack softly on the cheek he then took her over to the table and she grabbed a candle and blew out the rest.
"I love to hear ye laugh." Jack said as he carried Kristy out of the room and up the stairs into her bedroom and placed her down on the bed and then sat down next to her. Kristy had one question that kept racing through her mind, should she sleep with him? Kristy didn't know if she was ready to give that part of her up yet. She went to place the candle on the nightstand but found a folded piece of paper lying there, so she picked up the paper and then placed the candle down and turned and looked at Jack.
"Open it luv." Jack said and Kristy opened the letter; once again it was from her mother, she read it out loud.
Dear Kristy and Jack,
I am so happy to hear that you are engaged! You will both be very happy together. Kristy there are some things that I think I should tell you. First off you are probably wondering how I can be sending you these letters when I am no longer on earth. Well that is easy, Kristy I am an angel sent from God to help you, I can only help you through letters though and I am not allowed to make decisions for you or tell you what to do but I can help you. I know it may sound weird but it's the truth. Now the reason I can send Jack letters is because you are so close to him that he has become a part of you and I am able to talk to him also. I hope that this has helped you understand a little better what is going on and how all of this is happening. Kristy, you are following your heart and I am so proud of you, you knew what you wanted and you went for it. I don't need to help you out very much anymore but I will always be there for you, I will know when you need my help. I wish you both all the best.
With Love,
Mom
P.S. Promise me that you will both take good care of one another.
Kristy was so happy to know that her mother approved of her and Jack, she was also happy to know that her mom would always be there to help her. Kristy looked over at Jack.
"I promise with all my heart." Kristy whispered as she folded the letter back up.
"Aye, I promise with all me heart to take good care of ye until the day I die." Jack kissed Kristy passionately on the lips. And they both lay back on the bed.
Kristy had decided she knew Jack was the only man she would ever be happy with and she knew that they were both madly in love with each other; she decided to give it all up to Jack. Kristy rolled on top of Jack, straddled his hips, and began to undo his jacket. Jack's hand shot up and gently grabbed her wrist.
"Luv, are ye sure ye want to do this?" Jack didn't want her to do anything she was going to regret.
"Jack I love you with all my heart and I know for a fact that you are the only person I am willing to give it all up to." Jack put his hands on the sides of her thighs as she undid the last two buttons on his jacket he than sat up and let her pull the jacket off of him. Kristy kissed Jack passionately on the lips and undid his shirt buttons and then took his shirt off. Kristy broke the kiss as she got off the bed and took off Jacks shoes and socks and then crawled back onto the bed lying next to Jack. Jack slowly got off the bed and took off Kristy's shoes then he slowly made a trail of kisses up to Kristy's neck where he helped her take off her necklace and earrings he then sat them on the nightstand. Jack looked deep into her eyes and didn't see fear or doubt; they matched his they were clouded with passion and desire.
"Just be gentle with me." Jack captured Kristy's lips in their most passionate kiss ever and they slipped into a night of passion.
