"So where exactly are we going?" I said to Jax.
"Just shut up and enjoy the free ride and meal." He said.
"How exactly are we going to eat? You don't even have a picnic basket."
"We don't need a basket for this kind of picnic."
"It's not a picnic then."
"Okay. Maybe I lied. It's not exactly a picnic. It's more like a field trip."
"Why didn't you say that then?"
"Because I know if I did, you wouldn't have agreed to it."
"Ummm ... Jax why are we leaving Charming?"
"You'll see darling, you'll see."
We drove around for hours. My mind was in a bizarre. Where exactly was he taking me? What this going to be special?
"So tell me about New York." Jax said.
"Nothing to tell."
"So you're telling me, that all that hard work you did to get there was for nothing. Plus being there for seven years, and you didn't do anything?"
"Alright. I had ... a unique time."
"Why did you leave?"
"It got ... difficult."
"Someone hurt you?"
He sounded so sincere and concerned. It was like he was the Jax I fell in love with. The one where we use to have ridiculous conversations while studying. Where we would just eat snacks and stargaze. The one who ... took my virginity.
"No. Why do you wanna know so bad?"
"Because that's what friends do. They talk."
"Someone made up a rumor about me, damaging my career. Happy now?"
"Do I need to damage them?"
"No!"
"Was there someone... special?"
"There was one. It didn't last."
"Why not?"
"It got ... dull."
"So I guess he couldn't make you cum."
"Really, Jax. You sure do know how to make a girl feel special."
"But was that it?"
"He said... I mentioned... you too much."
"You talked about me?"
"For the past seven years, from time to time... yes."
"Me too." He said. Looking into my eyes. "We're here."
"About time." I said.
"Yup."
"Wait... why are we in Sacramento?"
"You always talked about visiting but never having the time."
"You remembered that?"
"I remembered a lot of thing about you."
"Oh yea? Like what?"
"Hmmm... lets see your favorite color is blue, your favorite movie is Grease but, you're also obsessed with Avatar. You have a birthmark on your right thigh. In the 5th grade, you pissed your pants during the talent show. Shall I go on?"
"Alright, alright you win."
"Great now get out of the car, so we can explore."
"How long have you've been planning this?"
"Not long... just since the day you came back to town."
"Well where are heading now?"
"To check in. I booked us a hotel for three days."
"Wait. You're expecting me to spend three days with you in a hotel?!"
"Don't worry. I got us two beds. It was tempting for one though." He said, smirking mischievously.
"Jax, I didn't even pack anything. I have zero clothes. All I have is my purse and a sweater."
"Well if it was up to me. You would just have the purse on. Maybe not. Don't worry, I planned. There's clothes in a suitcase in the hotel. It was delivered here."
"Wait how did you do this. I was thinking I was missing clothes."
"I had help."
"From who? Wait did Chasity help you?!"
"I plead the fifth."
I'm going to kill her when I see her.
"Come let's go." Jax said.
We walked into the hotel and concierge helped us with our bags after, we signed in. I have to say I was very impressed with Jax. He planned this whole thing. And not that I'm materialistic or whatever but, the hotel wasn't too shabby either. It made my heart race rapidly seeing how much he cared.
"So which bed do I get?" I said.
"Whichever one you want. Bathrooms over there. TV's in front. Closets in the corner."
"Well alright then. I choose that one." I said, pointing at the bed to the right.
"Okay. Get dressed though, we're going out."
"Where?"
"Like I said, I have this whole weekend planned darling."
"Okay, I have to say Jackson, I'm impressed."
"I thought you would be."
I showered and got dress as quickly as I could. I was excited to see what Jax had planned for us.
"So what's the plan?" I said.
"I was thinking we could head up to the Sacramento Ballet. I know you like that kind of stuff. It's not Broadway but, it's something. It's not too far from here so we could walk."
"That sounds perfect." I said, letting out a big smile.
"Good."
I was so curious how the night was going to go down? I was... possibly... starting to fall in love with him again. And that scared me the most.
