Chapter Twenty Six
After their shared kiss Randy drove in the direction of the Park. Jessica didn't know where they were going though, since she hadn't really explored Washington yet. But she trusted Randy. After they had been driving Randy stopped, pulled into a parking space and got out of the car. He walked around, opened Jesse's door and held out his hand to help her out. She smiled taking his hand and stepping out of the car.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"Rock Creek Park. Come on." Randy smiled took Jessica's hand and led her through the gates.
"It says closes after sunset. Are we allowed in here?"
"I pulled a few strings. We're allowed." Randy smiled. "Right now close you're eyes."
Jessica did as she was told and closed her eyes. She then felt herself being moved forward. After walking a little way they stopped and Randy whispered into her ear.
"Open you're eyes."
She opened them and gasped silently. In front of her was a picnic all set up. Everything was perfect and it was a very romantic setting. She smiled.
"It's wonderful."
"The best is yet to come." Randy smiled. "Shall we?"
Jessica nodded and they sat down. Randy poured two glasses of champagne and smiled.
"Don't tell anyone I gave you this."
Jessica giggled.
"My lips are sealed."
The two sat and ate and talked about everything they could think of. Jessica felt very comfortable with Randy and she knew she liked him more then just a friendship. After they had finished the food and drank almost the whole bottle of champagne Randy moved the dinner settings and they laid down.
"Ok, so now it's time for you're gifts."
"You didn't have to get me anything." Jessica smiled.
"I know. But I couldn't let my girlfriends special birthday go without buying her something could I."
"Girlfriend.." Jessica asked.
"Well, yeah. I mean you're 18 now and that means you're at legal age. I like you alot Jess so maybe I should do it properly. Jessica Isabelle Bautista will you officially be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, Randy Keith Orton I will." Jessica laughed.
"Wonderful. Now gift time. Ok, look up."
"Up?"
"Yes, up Jessica. Look up."
Jessica looked up into the sky.
"Ok, now what?"
"Ok, you see that star right there?" Randy said pointing at the brightest star.
"Yeah.."
"That's you're star. I named it after you."
"That's a wonderful gift Randy I love it." Jessica smiled.
"Well, it seemed fitting. Because you are a star in my eyes. But wait that isn't all."
"There's more?" Jessica laughed. "You're spoiling me."
"You're worth it. Ok, now you need to sit up for this."
"Ok." Jessica sat up and faced Randy.
He pulled out a tiny red velvet box and opened it. Inside was a pink diamond ring.
"Wow.."
"Now, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not asking you to marry me...just yet anyway. But this is like a commitment ring. See, I'm known for my flirting ways and girls love me and they all think that when I flirt I mean it. The guys know I had a tendency to wander you know. Well, as long as you wear this you know, you have my heart. I won't wander and you know when I flirt back, I'm thinking of you."
"I don't know what to say." Jessica said getting a little choked up.
"Just say you'll wear it."
Jessica nodded yes and Randy slipped the ring on her finger. They shared a kiss then.
"What do you say we take this back to my place?"
"I say that sounds like a good idea." Jessica smiled.
