I own nothing HOA!

Hey guys! So, I decided to add another chapter with Patricia and Jerome's date, before the epilogue. I got mixed reviews on when the epilogue should be, so I figured let's just write it all. Here is the date scene and I believe two epilogue type things will follow. I want to show them like a year in the future and then 5 or ten years in the future. What do you guys think about that?

Thanks for all the support! Enjoy!

Jerome POV

It was Friday night and I was officially on my first date with Patricia. It couldn't get any better than this, well I guess it could if we were alone, but we weren't. Patricia and I had agreed to double date with Joy and Eddie, so here all four of us were sitting at a little Italian restaurant.

We were sitting at the table and Patricia and Joy were talking, while I sat back and listened. My hand was entwined with Trixie's and our hands were sitting on the booth seat in between us. I gave her hand a squeeze and she smiled up at me, her green eyes shining.

I couldn't even begin to describe how happy I was that we had worked everything out and we were going to give this a chance. I am clearly head over heels for Patricia and I can't imagine still being mad at her. I was so glad when she told me everything the other day; it had made it so easy to just fall into a relationship with her. All I wanted was Trixie, in every way. Trust me, it had been incredibly hard and required an enormous amount of self-control to pull away from Trixie when we were in my room the other day. I wanted her more than anything and there she was giving herself willingly to me, but I needed to take things slow.

Trixie on the other hand, didn't want to take things slow at all and she had taken everything opportunity since to try and change my mind. I was really loving the game of cat and mouse we had going on and I knew sooner rather than later I would be caving.

Dinner was pretty uneventful, we just sat there and talked. I enjoyed every minute of it though because I was with Patricia. After dinner we made our way to the movie theater. Some how Eddie and I had let Patricia and Joy talk us into seeing a chick flick. It turns out that Trixie has a girly side.

"Are you having fun?" Patricia asks me as we settle into our theater seats.

"Of course," I smile down at her through the dim light.

"You sure?" she asks. "You've been pretty quiet." She's right, I have been, but it's not because I'm not having fun. I'm just not used to this whole double date thing, I'd actually be thrilled if Patricia and I were completely alone on this date. I just want to be with her.

I flip up the armrest between our seats and drape my arm over Patricia's shoulder, pulling her close as I say, "I am having an amazing time. The only thing that would make it better was if I was alone with you."

"Alone with me?" Trixie cuddles closer to me as she looks up at me with a devious grin. "I'd love to be alone with you too, but you said you wanted to take things slow," she smirks up at me. She knows she's hitting all the right buttons to get me to want her.

"That's not how I meant it Trix," I groan. She is going to be the death of me.

"Oh really?" She asks as she scoots even closer to me and places a hand high on my thigh, just like a week ago when this all began. When I don't answer she whispers into my ear, "So you mean you don't want to be alone in your room with me right now?"

I take a deep breath as I try to gather myself. It's taking everything in me to stop myself from snogging Patricia right here and now, and the glint in her green eyes tells me she is fully aware. "Trix," I say in a weak warning voice.

Trixie is about to say something when the lights dim even farther and the previews start to roll. "Fine, you're off the hook for now," she whispers as she settles in against my chest to watch the movie.

I try to pay attention to the movie, but it's impossible with Patricia cuddled up against me as her hand that is still on my thigh traces patterns. All I want to do is pull her up with me and head straight back to my room. I just want to give her everything she wants. Now that I have her, I don't want to let her go.

About halfway through the movie Trixie looks up at me and our eyes meet. Without hesitation she stretches up and gently presses her sweet pinks lips against mine. The second our lips touch, I am lost. This is exactly what I wanted and by the way Patricia works her lips against mine I can tell this is all she wants too. I wrap my hands in her hair and pull her closer, full on snogging her in the middle of the movie theater.

It seems as if neither of us has any intention of stopping our snog, until Joy reaches over and hits Trixie on the shoulder. We pull apart and look at her. She points to the screen and gives us a little eye roll. I run a hand over my face as I realize we're still in the middle of the theater. "We'll continue this when we get back to your room," Trixie whispers into my ear before settling back against my chest. Needless to say, I wasn't paying attention to the movie in the least.

After what felt like forever, Trixie and I were finally alone in my room for the night. As soon as the door closed behind us, Patricia's lips were on mine and we were a complete fumbling mess of limbs as we fell back onto the bed. We snogged for a good while, before we came apart for breath. My arms were wrapped loosely around Trixie's waist as I looked down into her dazzling green eyes. "I had an amazing time tonight Trix," I murmur as I push a strand of hair behind her ear.

"So did I," she smiles up at me. "I'm guessing we're not going any farther than this tonight," she says in reference to the snogging.

I smile down at her and nod, "We need to take this slow," I repeat what I said the other night. I don't want to mess anything up by moving too fast. I needed Patricia to know that I loved her, more than anything.

Trixie rolls her eyes, but smiles nonetheless. "I know," she nods as she cuddles against me. "Can I stay the night?" she asks, her green eyes questioning.

"Of course," I smile down at her as I tighten my arms around her. Just because we need to take this slow doesn't mean I don't want to be close to Patricia.

"Great," she smiles as she cuddles against me and we fall into a comfortable silence. I let my thought roam everything that has happened in the last week. It may have been a roller coaster of ups and downs, but I wouldn't change a single thing about it. Everything that had happened had let to this moment, with Patricia lying in my arms. Patricia was mine and I was hers. Yeah, it may have started with a dare, but it was ending with something completely different. It was ending with happiness and the possibility of a relationship that would last a lifetime.

I knew now in this moment, more than ever, that I was in love with Patricia Williamson and I needed her to know it. "I love you," I murmur into Patricia's hair. She is silent for so long that I start to think she may be asleep, but she looks up at me and says, "I love you too Jerome." The look in her eyes is enough to make my heart skip a beat. I know she means every word, just like I do.

Yes, it may have all started with a dare, but it is ending with Patricia and me together, in love. I couldn't wait to see where this was going to go.

Thanks for reading and I'd love to know what you think! What do you guys think about having two epilogues? One about a year in the future and one 5 or 10 years in the future? Let me know what you think about it, you opinions will help me decide if I should go ahead with this idea or not.

Thanks!
