The Stroll on the Beach

A month had past and Scott Summers was feeling better. Thanks to his beloved Jean. Summer was nearly over and Jean felt happy. However, someone wasn't happy about the summer ends. Scott Summers was about to knock on Jean's door when Jean appeared.

"Jean! Wow, uh… hi… how are you today?" Scott asked placing both hands behind his back. Jean knew Scott's hiding something from her.

"I'm fine, Mr. Summers… What have you got behind your back?" Jean said curiously.

"Uhh… It's for you…" Scott said showing Jean a box. Jean took it and opened it. She gasped at what she saw.

"Scott… What's this for?" Jean asked pointing to the ring.

"It's a promise ring…" Scott said and took it from her. He then kneeled down and looked at Jean. "Promise me something. Promise me that you'll always love me even though I did something horrible, something that will always stay fresh in both our minds…" Scott said. Jean wondered what Scott was up too but kneeled down.

"I promise…" she said. "I love you… And nothing's gonna change my mind about that…" Scott smiled and placed the ring on Jean's finger. Jean hugged him and gave a passionate kiss.

"Let's go out tonight…" Scott suggested. Jean agreed and both went to get ready for their date in the beach in an hour time.

Scott Summers waited for his date to come down the stairs. When Jean did, he took her hands and led her to his car.

"Where are we going?" Jean asked. Scott stopped his car and helped Jean out. "Peaceful Beach? I love this place!" Jean exclaimed.

"I know you do. I got some pizza if you want some…" Scott said.

"No wonder I smelt something delicious… Thank you, Scott." Scott handed Jean the pizza box and took out a blanket. They sat eating dinner in the beach while looking at the calm ocean. When done, Scott helped Jean up and placed his jacket over her. Jean smiled and both took a stroll on the beach.

"This is awesome, Scott!" Jean said and hugged her lover. Scott hugged back and looked at the night sky.

"Ya, it is…" Scott said sadly. Jean felt his disappointment and looked at him.

"What's wrong, honey?" she asked. Scott looked at her and smiled.

"Nothing, just thinking about the past few events." He replied as he started walking. Jean blocked his way and looked at him frowning.

"You're hiding something from me, Summers.. What's going on?" Jean asked hands on hips. Scott looked at her and hugged her.

"Just promise me that you'll make this day special for me. No more frowning, no more sad looks, and no more thinking about sad memories…" Scott said letting a tear fall down his cheek. Jean however didn't see the tear and hugged him back.

"Oh, alright… You big dope. I'll make this night special like you asked for…" Jean said and kissed him passionately. Scott returned it and both continued their stroll on the beach.

Scott Summers knew this might be the last time he gets to spend time with Jean like this and he knew he would make Jean sad someday. But all he knew now was his love with Jean will bloom forever. Nothing's gonna tear them apart….
