-Chapter 11: Video Love & First Date-

(February 2010 – Washington D.C.)

"Hi, I'm Jason Allen Cross and I've decided to make a video so that my beautiful girlfriend, Kelsi Monique Nielsen, and I can remember the Valentine's week/weekend we spent in Washington D.C. in the White House," I said, making up the introduction for the video. "Now, Kelsi doesn't know I'm doing this so I've got to keep quiet as I head towards the music room where's she's playing the piano at." As I approached the music room in the White House, I kept the camcorder trained on my face that now had a smile on it as I heard some of the music chords to the beautiful songs my girlfriend creates. "There she is the goddess of music in all her glory."

I zoomed the camera in on my beautiful girlfriend who sat at the black Baby Grand Piano dressed in bright yellow lace trim cami, a black American Eagle sweater, a pair of American Eagle fleece lounge pants with a pair of yellow ballet flats on her feet, and a bright yellow hat sitting on her head – her signature. The camera kept zoomed in on her as she stopped playing to pick up a pencil and write something down on the music sheets spread out in front of her before putting the writing utensil back down and playing again.

I listened and smiled as I let Kelsi's music fill all my senses and I could just tell that not only was she on her way to greatness, but the piece she was working on was for Troy and Gabriella, two people we both hold near and dear to our heart for they are the heart and soul of our group, the Wildcats.

Watching my girlfriend for a few more minutes, I then backed away from the slightly ajar door and turned off the camera before I headed a different way in mansion to find the next person on my list.

"I cannot believe your making me do this dude," Chad told me as we stood in the gym where my four best guy pals were playing basketball when I walked in.

"Dude, just suck it up and do me this favor please?" I asked him with a sigh.

"Fine," Chad replied, imitating my sigh causing everyone to laugh, including me. "So what do you want me to do?"

"Dude, if he's making a video for Kelsi, he needs you to talk about her and them together," Zeke told our best friend with a shake of his head.

"Oh, righttt," Chad said with a nod of his head.

Oh God, what have I gotten myself into, I thought as I turned on the camera as Chad leaned against a wall in the gym with a basketball under his arm.

"Well, um…hi guys, I'm Chad Danforth and a Lakers' superstar as you already know," he said causing us to all roll our eyes. Typical Chad, I thought as I continued to film him as he began to talk about Kelsi, our relationship, and me, "…so I guess what it comes down to is – I love you guys and wish you the best of luck, our Camera Man and Composer Lady."

After Chad, I videotaped Zeke followed by Ryan and then Troy before I turned the camera off and declined a game of basketball, "Sorry guys, but I've got a mission to accomplish, maybe later."

"Bye man," the four boys echoed as I walked out of the gym.

Finally, I had finished filming everyone but Kelsi three hours later and now I was sitting on the touch while she got ready, so I could take her out to eat dinner at Pizza Hut, our favorite restaurant and the same place we had our first date so many years ago.

"Kelsi, are you ready yet, Babe?" I asked as I knocked on the bedroom door that was designated as her bedroom during our stay in Washington D.C.

"Sure am," her sweet voice replied as she opened the door making my jaw hit the floor, even in the simplest of things she looked beautiful I tell you. "Do you like it?" I heard her ask as she spun around showing off the black knit, empire spaghetti strap dress, black wedge sandals, and denim jacket while her hair was surprisingly straightened and pulled into a ponytail that sat over her right shoulder while her yellow hat sat on her head and her makeup was kept simple.

"You look breathtaking, Baby, simply breathtaking," I told her as I gently grabbed her hand and then placed a kiss on the back of it causing her to smile and blush.

"Thank you," she whispered her reply before she told me that I looked handsome too even though I was only in jeans, a yellow polo, and black VANS.

"Ready?" I asked her, holding out my hand for her to grab.

"Of course," she replied and with that we were off to meet the white limo that was taking us to Pizza Hut where we shared a pepperoni pizza, a chocolate milkshake with two straws, and a piece of strawberry shortcake – the same meal we had on our first date.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Okay, okay, okay, so this one's short and there's a reason for it which you'll find out in…god knows when, but for now that's all I'm gonna say besides I hope that you continue to R&R and that I'm gonna go right the next one so…

LOVE,

Jessica.
