Chapter Twenty Three
Jessica woke up extra early on her birthday. She was really excited. It had been a week since she'd seen her best friends and her sister was coming too. Dave had agreed to lend her his car, so she could drive to the airport. She sat on the couch and kept looking at the clock. She had to leave at 10:30 and it was only 9am. She just couldn't sit still. Angela had taken the girls out for get things at the store and Dave was around somewhere. She checked the time again and then decided she wanted some water, so she went into the kitchen. Dave was sat at the counter sipping his coffee. He smiled at her as she went over to the fridge.
"So, excited about seeing you're friends?"
"Yes! I keep looking at the clock. It's just going so slow. I think that time stopped or something."
"The clock didn't stop honey, and time didn't stop either. You just need to be patient."
"Yeah, if you didn't already know, that ain't my strong point."
"Oh, I've noticed." Dave laughed.
Jesse rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Hey Davie, would you like to come with me?"
"Come where Jesse-bell?"
"Drive with me. To the airport."
"Why would you want me there?"
"Just to come with me. I just realised I don't know where I'm going. I've never drove here before."
"Ok, I'll come with you. Wait..did you call me Davie?"
Jessica smiled.
"Yeah. It's been a while huh. You called me Jesse - Bell."
"I know." Dave smiled back.
They stood in silence for a moment and then Jesse spoke up.
"I'm going to go...get ready. 10:30 Davie."
"Kay, Honey. I'll be waiting in the car."
Jessica left the kitchen and went up to her room to get ready. She threw on a t-shirt and her jeans and tied her hair back. She was ready and it was still only 9:45.
"Jeez." She thought. She didn't know what to do, and she couldn't sit still. She thought about Randy then and smiled. She was excited to see what he had planned for her, but she didn't know what it was, so she decided to call and ask some questions while she was waiting. Randy answered on the second ring.
"Hey Randy." Jessica said smiling.
"Hey babe, Happy Birthday!"
"Thank you..."
"So, what can I do for you today?"
"Well, I was just wondering what you had planned for later tonight."
"It's a surprise."
"Well, is there a dress code?"
"Not really. You can wear whatever you want. You look beautiful in everything."
Jesse blushed.
"Well, can I at least get a hint?"
"It's going to be special and It's going to be awesome. I'm not saying anything else."
"Ahh, Randy come on." Jesse fake whined.
"Baby, just wait..I'm not telling you." Randy laughed.
"Ok, I'll see you later."
"Yes, you will. Oh and Jess.."
"Yeah?"
"What's you're favorite color?"
"Pink.."
"Ok, thanks. Bye."
"Bye.."
Jessica hung up and frowned. Now she wanted to know even more so what Randy had planned and why he wanted to know her favorite color. She looked at the clock and saw it was 10 now so she made her way downstairs.
"Davie, can we start leaving now?"
"Sure. But first I want to give you you're gift."
"You didn't have to get me a gift."
"Well, I did. Here you go."
Dave handed her a long shaped box. She opened it to find a Tiffany's pendant inside. The diamond on the chain was a heart shape and it sparkled in the light. She held it up and saw it had rainbow colors inside too.
"Wow..Dave it's...beautiful."
"I saw it and I knew you'd like it."
"Like it..I love it. I'll put it on now. I just need to change."
She ran upstairs and changed her t-shirt to a black spaghetti strap top. She then went back downstairs.
"You didn't have to change." Dave laughed.
"Yes, I did. I want people to see it. Will you help me put it on?"
"Sure."
Dave helped Jesse put on her necklace.
"So ready to go?"
"Yes!" She squealed. Dave laughed and picked up his keys.
"Let's go." He said with a smile, following Jesse out the door.
