Chapter 11
Jack rang the door bell after adjusting his navy tie. He turned to Diane and smiled a bashful smile. A smile you could finally notice for he has shaved off his beard He had to admit he was very nervous and for the first time in over a decade he felt like a teenager on his first date.
Janet stopped to look herself over one last time in the mirror inside her cozy living room. She smiled softly as she placed a strand of hair behind her ear. She took in a deep breath and headed towards the door.
Jack's sight was set on the floor. His mind wondering what exciting things life would bring them tonight. When Janet opened the door, his body froze solid. His heart seemed to stop along with the air entering his lungs. As his eyes widen so did the smile on his handsome face. Janet's beauty had never shinned through as it did at that precise moment.
His eyes wonder her body from top to bottom; sliding down her petite but perfect body like a rain drop on a rose after a rainy day. Her dark hair seemed a bit shorter then usual since she had curled it giving it a seductive wavy appearance. Her big honey-brown eyes seemed to sparkle as her smiled glowed with happiness. She wore a v-neck, sleeveless, black dress with matching open-toe shoes. The perfect outfit to match the peal necklace and earrings she wore.
"Hi honey." She said leaning in to kiss Jack's lips. "Come on in." She moved back opening the door wide enough for him to enter.
"Hi. You must be Diane. I've heard so much about you." Janet said welcoming in the older lady that would be taking care of her son while she and Jack had a night on the town.
The couple and housekeeper took a sit inside the living room, "He is asleep already but if he should wake up. Just let him know I'm out with Jack. I told him we had plans but a little reminder would probably calm him down." She informed her. "He shouldn't give you any trouble. Once he falls asleep he may only wake to use the bathroom but then goes right back to sleep."
"Don't worry honey. I'll take good care of him."
"She sure will." Jack agreed.
"Now you two go have a good time. Come back late…or better yet don't come back at all tonight." She winked at the happy couple as the trio rose once again.
"Thank you for watching Jack for us tonight." Janet said once again before grabbing her purse.
"You are welcome." The green-eye lady patted Janet's hands. "Have fun. I better then anyone else know how much Jack has been waiting for a tonight. This is all he's been talking about all week long."
Jack couldn't help but blushed as he stared into Janet's eyes. She winked and smiled. The joy that overtook her body every time she heard from someone else's lips the obvious love he had for her couldn't be explained. Jack took her hand in his as they headed towards the door.
"You look lovely." Jack said reaching over to place his hand on top of hers.
"Thank you Jack." She whispered her cheeks turning a crimson color. "You too look very handsome yourself."
"I've been looking forward to tonight all day. I hope you enjoy what I have plan for us."
"I am sure I will."
Jack turned into the restaurant's entrance. He waited his turn and then gave his keys to the valet employee. Jacked walked around and extended his arm so Janet could take it in hers. As they walked into the fancy Italian restaurant Jack asked a favor of Janet, "Promise me that tonight will be our night. I will have nothing else but you in mind and you will set your mind worry free of everything and everyone else expect for us." He asked.
"Don't worry Jack. Never ever do you leave my mind. You and my son are the only thing I always can never stop thinking of. And tonight is no exemption."
The young host led the charming couple to their seats. "Your waiter will be right with you shortly. Enjoy." She said excusing herself.
"Wow Jack. This place is beautiful." Janet stated admiring the décor.
"Yes. Monte Carlo has always been one of my favorite restaurants. They not only have exquisite food but a terrific band as well."
Jack and Janet enjoy their meal to the smooth and romantic melodies of the three-piece band in the background. As they enjoyed their wine Jack asked his lovely date if she cared to dance. Janet took his hand eagerly, stepping into his embrace and accepting the request.
For what seemed like an eternity, he held her in his arms tightly as they began to move in sync to the slow, sweet melody of the music. They fit perfectly.
Jack and Janet decided a nice long walk at the beach would be the perfect way of ending their day. It was something they've always enjoy doing. Even when they used to share the small little apartment in Santa Monica, going to the beach was one of their favorite things to do.
They slowly left a trail through the sandy beach as Janet carried her shoes in one hand while the other one was softly wrapped round Jack's body. He had been smart enough to leave his shoes and coat in the car. "I've enjoyed everything about tonight," Janet said.
She sighed with satisfaction as they strolled along the moonlit beach holding hands. Jack smiled down at her as he tightened his grip. "I'm glad you had a good time. I'll have to admit it's been so long since I've been on a date, I was nervous something wouldn't go my way."
"Well everything was perfect I couldn't have asked for a better night." She paused timidly and with a mischievous smile added, "There would be one other thing that would make this night the most unforgettable night of my life."
Jack stopped their progress and turned Janet so she was facing him. With the pad of his thumb, he softly stroked her soft cheek. Her insides melted at his touch as she dropped her shoes to the sand. "Do you really mean that?" Jack asked nervously bringing his forehead against hers.
She nodded her head slowly as Jack's mouth found hers; Janet let her eyelids flutter close as her body shiver from his touch and the feel of his lips crushed against hers. Jack took his time, which caused Janet's heart to pound with excitement against her ribs. He drew her closer within the circle of his strong arms; she didn't resist. She just enjoyed the feel of being near him. Janet heard the sound of the waves crashing alongside the shore and realized their kisses were matching the rhythm of the water.
Jack had never been more nervous. His body full of different emotions. He had only daydreamed of a moment like this. After so many years of loving and caring about Janet this way he never thought this would actually happen.
On the other hand Janet had never been so sure; making love had never felt so right to her. She was more than ready to show Jack just how much he meant to her.
Jack took Janet back to his apartment. He had no plans for life to bring them together in such an incredible way tonight but he wanted to be ready if ever it was time. The master bedroom was lighten only by the moonlight shining through the balcony window.
Jack slowly inched his way closer to Janet and began nibbling her neck which caused her insides to ignite. Janet drew Jack closer so their lips could meet. "Kiss me," she said, her cheeks flushed with desire.
And that's exactly what Jack did.
They continued to enjoy each other as their passion built; gradually their bodies seem to dance to a silent melody lead by their hearts and passion. Slowly laying her fragile body against the satin white sheets, he broke the kiss. "Are you sure about this, babe?" he asked not wanting her to feel pressured.
"I've never been more convinced about anything in my life." She informed him with an undeniable craving tone to her words. "Jack, life owes us this moment." Running her slender fingers through his sandy blonde hair, she nodded, "It's time we think of ourselves and let the world do as it please. I have you and that is all that matters to me now."
At her willful encouragement, Jack began to explore her body using his mouth, his lips, and his tongue to ravish her soft, satiny skin.
As Jack slipped the straps of Janet's dress down her bare arms, his breath caught in his throat. Janet grabbed his back as he tantalized and teased her almost to the point of no return. The game went on for a few more minutes, until their desires overtook them and clothes were quickly discarded. "You're beautiful," he murmured into her ear as she slipped her fingers inside the waistband of his pants and slid them down his legs and onto the floor.
Staring into his eyes, she nodded and moaned with evident pleasure when Jack lowered himself and began to please the most essential need inside her.
In the middle of moans of pleasure, their bodies melded together while continuing to nip and kiss on each other.
He kissed her hungrily for a few minutes, and then rolled off her, absently playing with her hair.
"I love you, Janet." he assured her over and over again, kissing her. "I love you."
And with that, with the assurance of his devotion, they made love, quickly gaining urgency as the time passed.
After they hand given into each other's desire of being together. There was a long and silent moment. Janet's head was lying on his bare chest while she passed her hand through it as Jack looked up at the ceiling with is arm around her nude shoulders.
"You're amazing," Jack whispered softly into her hair. "I love you."
Janet didn't say a word, simply cuddled in to him closer as she lifted her face to his for a kiss.
Janet watched as Jack slept softly caressing his chest as her head lye on his strong shoulder. A satisfied smile drawn across her pretty face. She inhaled the fresh air coming in from the balcony window. The moon was bright and full. Perfect for this October night. She slowly moved around searching for something to throw over her unclothed body. Jack's baby blue button up shirt was the closes to her; she reached over and began buttoning all but the last 3 top clear buttons.
She made her way to the balcony as quietly as possible not wanting to wake up her new lover. Once outside she sigh as the cinerary took her breath away. It was as if Jack has picked the best spot in town to enjoy the lights of the city. She leaned against the railed as the soft breezed played with her dark hair. 'Life couldn't get any better' she thought pacing the small terrace.
"It just takes your breath away doesn't it?" She heard Jack's unmistakable voice.
She turned with an ear to ear smile, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to enjoy the view," he informed her making his way towards her. "And I am not just talking about the city life." He winked as he wrapped his shirtless body over hers.
She turned to look him into those azure eyes that always made her heart skip a beat. "Tonight was incredible. You are wonderful." She praised him. "I've never felt as loved as I did tonight."
Jack entwined his hand in hers and led her to the small chair where he sat her in his lap. "Well you made it wonderful." He said as she leaned on his chest, her body forming an L across his body. "You were right life owed us a moment like tonight. And it just couldn't have been any better. Perfect. That is the word to describe this night."
Janet kissed Jack's smooth cheek as they sat silently enjoying life pass them by before Jack slowly started to play with the buttons on Janet's shirt. She turned her attention towards him as he smiled a devilish smile. Teasing him as she just giggled and returned her attention to the outside world he managed to undo two buttons. He gradually slipped his hand inside the shirt while whispering 'I love you's' into her hair.
"Hope you are ready for round two Mr. Tripper." She asked giggling as she led him back into his bedroom.
Sweetheart,
the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A
kiss that is never tasted,
forever and ever is wasted
