Chapter 4- Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Miss Parker went to the gate for employees only where Jarod had told her to meet him in another letter. It was only just about 6:00 when she got there so she knew he had a surprise for her that couldn't wait until the game. She went up to the security guard that was standing at the door.
Miss Parker: I am meeting…
Guard: Right this way ma'am
She walked in behind the guard and he led her to the zamboni entrance to the rink. She saw a candle lit dinner sitting in the middle of the rink. Knowing full well that the game wasn't going to start for two more hours she laughed to herself thinking: What is Jarod up to now? Just then he walked in behind her, handed a red rose to her and kissed her cheek softly. All of a sudden all of the TV's in the arena turned on and flashed the words: I LOVE YOU MISSS PARKER.
He walked over to the table and pulled the chair out for her to sit down. He smiled at her and sat in the chair across from her.
Jarod: I hope you like all of this.
Miss Parker: Jarod…I…
Jarod: I know. You don't have to say anything.
Miss Parker: I love you Jarod.
Jarod held her hand in his and leaned over the table and kissed her sweetly.
Jarod: Not as much as I love you.
Miss Parker: Let's not argue. We both know now that we love each other and that is all that matters right now. It is just you and I.
Jarod: You look beautiful.
Miss Parker: Jarod!
Jarod: What? You do!
Miss Parker: Shut up! (She was blushing and she hated to blush)
They ate their meal and then someone came in and cleaned it up. Then Jarod took Miss Parker over to the zambonis and turned one on. He held out his hand and she climbed on with him. They went around the ice and when he was done doing his job they went up to the seats he got for them.
Jarod leaned over in his seat and kissed her again. They both thought: This is the most romantic date I have ever been on. I never want this night to end. They watched the game and when it was over they went out to Miss Parker's car. He drove her to a hotel where he had been staying and they went inside.
They went up to his room where they continued to kiss. Then she took off her shirt and then his. He unbuttoned his pants and she rolled off her skirt. They continued to make out and take each other's clothes off and then they climbed into bed. They made love all night long and in the morning Miss Parker woke up to find Jarod gone again. She smiled though in that she had just had the best night of her life. He had left her a note on the night stand saying one single name: Gettysburg.
