CHAPTER 8: THE UNFORGETABLE NIGHT
Kim had butterflies in her stomach as she slowly twisted and turned deeper into the depths of the maze while lightly combing her purple fingertips through the fresh leaves of the jade color barricade that seemed to engulf her stopping every now and then to smell the radiant color flowers that weaved in-between the vines. To Kim it was quiet and peaceful, she surprisingly felt at ease in here she could think but she was still on high alert. The crows began cawing as her only source of light faded out, soon she wouldn't be able see and she would be truly lost in the clutches of the darkness. Kim froze as the sun finally sizzled out; she sat down and started to cry praying to god that she could get out alive to see everyone she ever loved again. As if on cue million of bright silver twinkling stars emerged slowly one by one to light up the night along with tiny rays of moonlight that cascaded down from the sky above her. Then the hedges lit up with yellow and white lights and every few feet were hearts with arrows pointing in the direction she was meant to go. At last she reached the core of the labyrinth. The sight was magnificent, it had a fountain of an angel with broken wings holding a man with a broken heart the water was flowing from the angel's eyes and the man's heart, to make it look like it was bleeding the water was dyed red. There was a veil of white lights cascading down that looked like a blanket. Only then did she notice it was outlining a gazebo and standing right in the middle of it all was Jack in a classic black and white tux holding a rose and wearing that smirk that she loved upon his face.
Jack had never seen a sight so perfect in his life. Kim was dressed in a stunning dress the bust area had sparkling beads that looked like miniature diamonds the rest flowed down in a light airy purple wave of gorgeous fabric.(A/N DRESS IN PROFILE ALONG WITH THE SWIMSUIT KIM WEARS IN THE CABIN) her hair was up in a side bun with two strands framing her perfect face. (A/N HER HAIR IS UP LIKE IN SPYFALL THE 1ST EPISODE OF SEASON 3) she had scarcely coated her eyes with a light amethyst shade that brought out her russet doe eyes that he has come to adore.
Jack watched nervously as Kim took in everything he had set up just for her and he prayed she liked it. He held out the vibrant red rose for her as she slowly approached him.
"Wow… Just WOW!" Jack stuttered unable to form a proper sentence. (A/N WHAT EPISODE DOES HE SAY WOW…JUST WOW 1ST PERSON TO GUESS RIGHT GETS A SHOUT OUT!)
Kim rolled her bottom lip gently between her teeth and blushed a light shade of pink.
"You like?" she questioned shyly.
"Yes. You look amazing." Jack assured her truthfully wrapping her in his loving embrace.
"Thanks Jack." Kim replied kissing him softly.
The kiss started off innocent at first but it quickly escalated into a heated fiery passion. Kim traced her lips at the crease of Jack's lips begging for access which he was happy to permit. Jack's hand tightened around the base of her small petite back while she tangled her fingers in his shaggy brown hair lightly pulling at the hairs at the back of his head which drove him crazy.
Reluctantly Jack broke from the kiss and pulled her by the hand to sit down on a bench that was against one of the gazebo walls.
"Ready to eat love?" Jack questioned.
Kim nodded gracefully and smiled. "Yea." She was all she said.
Jack reached behind the bench and pulled out a plate with 2 salads with freshly picked vegetables. He gently drizzled the dressing over hers then proceeded to do the same with his. Jack watched as she delicately took a bite trying not to ruin her perfect dress.
"MMMM" Kim moaned in bliss. She never knew a salad could taste this good.
"You like my special Garden Salad?" Jack asked smirking and taking a bite as well.
Kim quickly shoved another bite into her mouth no longer being cautious. "MUMPH!" she exclaimed with her mouth full.
Jack chuckled at her quirky little act while his smile widened.
"I never knew Milton could make a salad so well…MMMM" Kim started to say but could think of a words that matched this heavenly appetizer so she just put more into her mouth and groaned in delight again.
"Milton didn't make this." Jack said.
"Oh who made this…Some one in the kitchen?" Kim asked after she had took another bite.
"Actually it was me." Jack confessed quietly then shoving a bite into his mouth.
*COUGH…COUGH*
Kim choked a little at his response. "You made this?" Kim questioned suspiciously when she could breathe properly.
"Yep right before you got here." Jack answered taking another bite.
"How?" Kim wondered.
"Well I planted my own special garden in here no one but me knows its location." Jack informed her.
"Wow I didn't know you knew how to garden." Kim huffed surprised.
"What can I say I'm a Jack of all trades." He joked.
"Ha-ha very funny." Kim replied sarcastically.
"I thought it was." He laughed.
"Smart ass." Kim joked playfully smacking his left bicep.
"You know normally I would keep my garden a secret but I think you're worth sowing it to." Jack said. He then got to his feet and took her by the hand.
Kim gripped his hand and stood up next to him. When Kim wasn't looking he got the main course. She smiled and they began walking. Their fingers naturally interlaced as they walked side by side down the dark pathway, their only source of light was from the stars and moon that illuminated dirt trail. Kim rested her head on Jack's shoulder. Even though it was dark she could still make out his features and she knew she was truly in love. She always was she just hoped he felt the same. She knew he did but a part of her still doubted it… that this was all just fake a dream really. She kept trying to convince herself that fairytales don't exist.
"What are you thinking about?" Jack asked shaking her from her thoughts.
"Just wondering when I'm going to wake up." She responded.
"I'm confused." Jack said.
"This is like a fairytale." Kim pointed out.
"How so?" Jack questioned.
"We have the wicked stepmother or in our case just mother… a dad that has no power but loves both his wife and son to much to protest… and then there is the handsome and charming prince which is you of course who fell for the ugly slave." Kim finished.
"That where your wrong." Jack replied stopping causing her to stop as well.
"How do you figure?" she replied placing her hands on her hips.
"You got the wrong fairytale." Jack corrected her.
"Then which one is this?" she asked.
"Well let's see here… I was abandoned when I was little and a wicked old witch turned me into a hideous monster then came you my slave and even though I treated you like shit you still stayed by my side never once giving up as me so I'd so we are beauty and the beast." Jack informed her.
"Jack you were never a beast or a monster…" Kim began to argue but he cut her off.
"Yes I am the things I did… have done were barbaric and uncalled for." He admitted.
"Jack that doesn't make you a beast you were just lost and miss guided you need some one to see you for who you were truly meant to be and who I know you always were I just had to find out how to not make you see it but to bring it out as well." Kim explained honestly.
Jack then fiercely seized her waist and pulled her in for an electrifying kiss. After they pulled away for oxygen they slowly began walking again. Finally they reached the garden Jack was talking about she saw a little blanket laid out and candles surrounding it.
"You planned on taking me here didn't you?" Kim asked.
Jack just smiled and kissed her cheek then pulled her closer to his sanctuary.
"I come here to think and clear my head sometimes, my friends know about it but they don't know where it is. You're the only one who has been here." Jack smiled.
"Well I am honored." Kim replied.
Jack led Kim to the blanket and they sat down. He pulled out the sandwiches he had grabbed before they left the gazebo.
"Want one?" he asked holding out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Kim took it and looked at it. "Really a PB&J?" she asked shocked.
"You don't like it?" he asked suddenly feeling like an idiot.
"No it's perfect… I'm soooo not the fancy type of girl." Kim declared.
He glanced her up and down arching an eyebrow. "But you're wearing that." He replied motioning to the dress that looked marvelous on her.
"It was my mom's I saw it and thought it was stunning so she insisted I try it on then that led to my hair and make-up." Kim announced.
Jack smiled to himself he had sent the Grace to pick out a dress for him and have it sent to her Aria's house before she got there.
They ate in a comfortable silence just enjoying each others company. He brought the dessert which was cheese cake. He then told her to pick any of the strawberries that she wanted to put on top after she picked out a couple he cut them up and placed them perfectly on top.
"I have a surprise for you." He said as she took her first bite.
"Hmm?" she asked.
Jack pulled out his guitar from a case hidden in the bushes and started to play a soft melody.
"The Reason"
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
and the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
By the end Kim was crying she pulled Jack into a sweet romantic kiss.
"I have one more thing for you." Jack confessed and pulled out a tiny velvet maroon box from his guitar case. Jack opened it to reveal a big diamond ring. "Kimberly Anne Crawford…Will You Marry Me?" Jack asked with a shaky voice. His hands were also trembling and he was sweating.
Kim started to bawl harder she couldn't find the words to reply. In her head she was screaming yes over and over again but her mouth wouldn't open and her tongue refused to move. He body was frozen she couldn't even move.
"Well?" Jack questioned again now he was truly worried that he had made the wrong move and everything he knew and loved would come crashing down but finally after what seemed like eternity she spoke.
"Jack…I-I…I can't…" she began to say but stopped trying to find the right words.
Jack was pissed how could she have lead him on… probably so he wouldn't kill her or beat her. He let his walls down he become vulnerable and it had destroyed him and his existence. "FUCK YOU KIM HOW DARE YOU LEAD ME ON JUST SO I DON'T HURT YOU WELL GUESS WHAT AS SOON AS TONIGHTS OVER I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW BEASTLY I CAN BE…." He began ranting but was cut off when her lips were pressed against his.
"Jack I do love you I was just so stunned I couldn't thin or form a single word. You mean everything to me I would die without you in my life and I would love to be your wife and having a family with you, one that we treat right with no slaves or servants. Everyone that is there will be there because they want to be. I want to make Seaford a better place with you and only you. You are my soul mate and I am thankful for the day that I was violently thrown into that metal cage with the other girls because it brought me to you." She enlightened him. Then kissed him feverishly
Jack placed the ring on her finger. They laid down on the blanket and cuddled for a moment. Letting their finger tips dace on one other soft flesh. Pretty soon Kim was fast asleep. Jack didn't want to wake her so he pulled her close and soon fell asleep as well.
