Chapter 7

Checking himself over once more in the mirror, Jamie grinned as he finished getting ready. He was preparing for another date with Lyla. It was, of course, a classic date, going out for a good meal at a restaurant. Still smiling at that thought, Jamie confirmed to himself that he was ready, dressed up well in black pants, a white polo, and black shoes.

'Not too over-the-top, but still very presentable...' he thought to himself. 'Perfect. Well, here we go.'

With that grin still on his face, he grabbed his wallet, phone, and keys before heading out to his car and driving to Lyla's place, ready to start their night together.

Meanwhile, Lyla was also smiling, looking forward to the night with a high degree of anticipation. Putting on her dark blue flats, she straightened up and checked herself over. She was wearing a dark blue dress that came down to her ankles and had thin straps and it fit perfectly to her curves. She had only light make-up on her face and had pinned back her hair.

'I-I feel like...I know I can do this.' she thought, with her smile growing. 'Oh, tonight is going to be amazing, I know it.'

Satisfied that she was ready, she left her bedroom, just in time to hear the knock at the door.

Lyla grinned and hurried to answer the door. Jamie stood there, grinning, especially once he saw her.

"Wow…" he breathed, eyes widening as he saw Lyla, particularly her outfit. "You look…incredible."

Lyla laughed. "Thanks, you look great, too."

Jamie smiled and they kissed softly, savouring the moment. They then left the house together and got into his car before driving away. As they drove, Jamie grinned as he glanced at Lyla again.

"I meant it, you know. You look stunning. I love you." he confirmed to her.

Lyla smiled. "I know, and thank you. Really Jamie, I've never felt better than now, ever since we got together."

He grinned and nodded and continued to drive. As he did so, they both basked in the happiness and warmth of their time together. Jamie knew how much planning had gone into this, he just hoped that it would work, that it would be perfect.

They soon arrived at the restaurant that they had arranged for their date and got out of the car. Grinning, Lyla took Jamie's hand and they began to walk inside. The hostess welcomed them warmly.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

Jamie smiled and spoke. "We've made a reservation. Jamie Townley and Lyla Park."

The hostess nodded. "Ah, yes. This way please."

The young woman smiled at Lyla in a polite way and Lyla smiled back. They were soon shown to their table and sat down, consulting their menus. They ordered their drinks first and before long, they placed their orders and were soon waiting for their meals.

"Wow, it hasn't really been that long since all of this started for us." Jamie said softly. "But it feels like years."

Lyla nodded. "Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. We…we've come so far, both of us. So many things have changed, and mostly for the better."

Jamie agreed and they waited until their starters were brought and they began to eat, occasionally talking as they ate until they finally finished. As they waited for their main courses to come, Jamie smiled and leaned closer. Lyla did not hesitate and responded in kind and they kissed, enjoying the sensation deeply.

Their main course arrived shortly afterwards and they resumed eating. As they did, Lyla bit her lip, pondering.

"Jamie, I was curious about something. Do you think, Jenn and Kyle are, okay…?"

Jamie knew what she meant and replied, "I...I'm not sure, I hope so, but it was pretty scary what they went through and it was recent so..."

She nodded at that, still lost in thought.

Jamie's next question didn't surprise her. "What about you, Lyla?"

She smiled lightly. "I'm okay, really. Actually, ever since I told you the truth, I've felt...better."

Jamie raised an eyebrow at that, but Lyla continued.

"Really I've actually, I'm actually managing to sleep more at night, my insomnia's still there but, it's not as bad now."

Jamie nodded, understanding what she meant. He had sort of expected it. They resumed their meal. Both of them briefly spotted Sean with his girlfriend outside and waved.

"So, that's Cassidy huh?" Lyla queried.

Jamie nodded. "Looks like it, I guess none of us have ever really properly met her..."

Lyla nodded slowly at that, considering. Later they finished and made their way back to his car.

"So, where do you…?" Jamie began.

Lyla replied at once, smiling, hopeful. "My place. Right away."

"Yes, ma'am." Jamie replied with his own smile and he quickly drove to her home.

Returning to Lyla's home, Jamie and Lyla both smiled, their hands linked.

"That was fun." Lyla remarked softly.

Jamie smiled, glad she had enjoyed their dinner together.

"Thanks." He said. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."

They carefully slipped inside, Jamie a little surprised by her invitation to come, soon they made it into Lyla's room and she paused for a moment, she analysed him carefully.

"You know I'm not some fragile doll, I don't..." She began.

Quickly he explained. "I know, I know, I just...I didn't mean it that way."

She sighed and shook her head. "Well, I meant what I said. Jamie, I trust you, more than anything, that's how much I love you and I want us to take the next step..."

She kissed him, a kiss he eagerly returned before they headed to their bedroom. Their love was just as strong, if not stronger than ever. They soon fell onto the bed and when they finally pulled apart Jamie looked her up and down, still marvelling that this beautiful girl that he loved, loved him back.

"What?" She asked, noticing his look.

A little embarrassed at being caught he quickly replied. "I, sorry I just...You're beautiful..."

She blushed but grinned. "Thank you."

He recalled everything she had told him, and realized the full weight of what he said, what it meant to her to have someone who actually cared for her so deeply, despite what had been done to her, but he meant it, with all his heart.

Still feeling hot from Jamie's compliment and knowing he meant it, Lyla was at a loss for words. Despite his usual awkwardness, he was sweet and she loved that. She observed him, his clothes a little mussed up from their make out session.

'He's been worried about me, ever since I told him the truth, but...I'm ready now, I know it and...and it's time.'

As she thought this she smiled and gently urged him closer. He did so and she pulled him to her, kissing deeply, he returned the kiss and soon they were lost. At least until his hands began roaming her body and he suddenly stopped, hands just at the zip of her dress.

"Lyla, are you…?" He began, uncertain.

She nodded. "I'm sure Jamie, I'm very sure...I'm ready, please..."

He smiled and kissed her. "Gladly."

With that, he wasted no time unzipping and removing her dress as Lyla kicked off her flats. Jamie's eyes widened at her underwear, while plain white, both her panties and bra were rather decorative, made with lace and offered the only coverage now to Lyla's bare skin, yet already he could feel his body reacting and he bit back a moan as Lyla began undressing him until his grey boxers were all that stood between him and nakedness.

Lyla quickly finished job for them and soon they were both naked, Lyla grinning as she observed him.

"Wow."

Biting his lip Jamie smiled. "I...wow, Lyla, you..."

He immediately reached towards her, hesitated and, when she nodded, began his exploration. She moaned softly as he cupped her chest, her breasts were small, but perfectly formed, crowned with small brown nipples that reacted to his touch immediately. He kissed her again, before trailing kissing down her neck, chest, then her breasts, he teased her nipples with his teeth, earning a moan from her. He worked his way down to her navel and then back up again. Lyla's eyes were wide and he was sure he was the same. Both of them were overcome with passion and, apart from briefly making sure they were safe, they began.

"Ready"

She nodded and, as he entered, let out a breathy sigh.

"Oh Gods...Jamie..."

A wave of euphoria overcame him as well as he began to build a slow but steady rhythm that gradually got faster until soon they were moving in sync.

Their euphoria lasted long, when they reached their peak and came together, it was like a release for both. They cried out and Lyla arched her back, Jamie held her close and they silenced each other with another kiss. Jamie and Lyla knew with certainty then, as they lay, basking in the afterglow, holding each other, that they would remember this moment and enjoy their future together.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
