Chapter Three: Jack Wants More

When she came home, she could smell food in the kitchen. She figured that Jack just fixed himself a little something while he waited for her to get back. When she walked into the kitchen however, the lights were out, and there were lit candles on the table. The dinner was already on the table, and the wine was in the glasses. Jack, however, was no where to be seen. She went back to the door, and hung her coat on the coat hanger. Then she sat her purse on the small table in the entryway. When she turned around, Jack was standing in front of her. They both smiled, and kissed. Jack led her into the kitchen, and they had the romantic dinner that Jack had hoped on.

After dinner was over, it was time to go to bed. Even though they were not yet married, they slept in the same bed. Although Evy had her rule: "nothing is to happen until after we are married." a/n: I think you know what I mean. If not…think hard! You'll eventually figure it out.

They laid down, and Evy started to fall asleep. She did have a hard day, after all. Although it would have been worse if that nice man hadn't helped her. She thought about him, and noticed that they hadn't even gotten each others names. She figured that they would do that when he returned his books, which he said should be sometime this week. She smiled a little at the thought of seeing him again. Wait, what was she thinking? She couldn't think like that about some guy that she didn't even know! Especially when she was getting married! She forgot about it and started dozing off. But she didn't get to sleep, for she felt eyes on her. She looked at Jack, who was leaning up on his arm, staring at her. "What?" she asked, looking at him questioningly.

"Nothing. You're just so beautiful." he started rubbing his hand gently down her face. She sat up a little and smiled. Just staring at him. "What, can I not look at my future wife?" he asked, joking around.

"Of course you can. But I have one question." she whispered.

"What?"

"Are you getting at anything? I mean, the dinner, the staring. Anything on your mind?" she asked sweetly.

"Well, I was hoping for a little something." he said, as he lightly rubbed up and down her arm.

"And, what's that?" She was still smiling.

"I was hoping that, maybe, we could get a little closer tonight, ya know?" he was looking her over a little.

"Um, if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, then I don't think it's a good idea. So soon anyway. Remember my rule about sleeping in the same bed?" she wasn't angry, but she got serious.

"Yeah, I know. But I was just thinking that we could throw that rule out. I mean, we're getting married in less than two months. Even if we just throw it out tonight, you can make it a rule again by tomorrow."

"Jack! You know that if you get rid of the rule, you won't want to bring it back….No. I can't. It's just not right. I'm sorry."

"Please. I've been waiting for this since the first day we met."

"Ok, you've waited for 3 years; surly 2 months won't kill you!"

"But that's just it, I've waited so long that it's going to burst out of me if this keeps up! I mean, you are irresistible! There's no way that any guy would be able to stay away from you as long as I have, Evy. I can't take it anymore! Please! I know that you're probably just scared because you've never done this before, but, neither have I. So it's fair! It's scary for both of us, but we handle it if we work through it together!" he was to the point where he was begging.

"Jack," she said sweetly, smiling as she talked, "I know that this is something that you want. But please respect the fact that I was raised to never do that until after I got married…please."

"Ok…ok," he said, tossing his hands up in surrender, "I'll respect that."

"Thank you." she gave him a small peck on the cheek, and then they both went to sleep.
