From now on I will no longer say when I am going to post a new chapter, anyway I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I've been working quite a while on this and I have to say I impressed myself with this one. P.S. Don't forget to review and let me know what you thought.
It had taken Cap just a couple of days to ask me out; he visited the museum daily. When he finally did ask me out I said yes. I didn't even have to think about it. He had brought flowers with him and was wearing a leather jacket over his white button up. He was smiling from ear to ear and all i could think about were those lips, lips i kissed the night of the bonfire. That night we talked about everything, after he sat down on the tailgate of his Chevy. Talking to him was so easy.
Flashback:
When Katie left with Sam aka Squirrel I didn't even notice. After a couple hours I left to find Taylor since she was the only one of my friends that was left that drug me to that stinking bonfire in the first place. i finally found her making out with Jake Brown my ex.
"Taylor, Taylor, TAYLOR!" I hollered.
"WHAT? Oh hey, Jess. This isn't what it looks like." Tay said sitting up and straightening her hair.
"Yeah because Jake just fell and happened to stick his tongue down your throat in the process, I thought you were my friend Tay? And you." I said pointing at Jake. "I thought you said you wanted me back, like id ever have you back after cheating on me, but still." I said shaking a little as Taylor got out of the truck.
"Jess you know your the only one for me, I thought if i could talk to Tay that I could get you back." Jake slurred undoubtedly drunk none the less.
"Save it Jake i don't want to hear it, and you." I pointed at Taylor, "Don't bother trying to talk to me again, were no longer friends.
"Fine you can find another ride home then, because me and Jake are leaving. See you around looser." She said slamming the truck door.
I watched them drive off. I was pissed and upset and wondering how the hell was i going to get home, I guess I could've called Chris my brother , but being a cop I didn't want him showing up. I finally started walking around, it was getting a little chilly outside.
"Are you sure you came here with your friends?" I heard Cap call out. I could just make out his silhouette.
"Sadly yes, one left with her boyfriend and I got in a fight with my other one and she left with my ex." I said walking over to him.
"Sounds like they aren't very good friends." He said genuinely.
"I've been starting to think that myself."
"I was just about to leave, I'll gladly take you home." He said taking his keys out of his pocket.
"You don't have to do that, I'm sure I can get a ride with someone else."
"No I insist what kind of guy would i be to leave a pretty girl without a ride home." He said winking.
"Since you talked me into it, you can take me home."
The inside of his truck smelled like Pine and sawdust and Cap, it was intoxicating. He had Cole Swindell playing low on the speakers. After a few minutes of trying to get down the mountain and out of the woods it started to rain and storm.
"Looks like we left in time, I bet everyone else is getting soaked by now." I said staring out the window it was raining so hard I could barely see out the windshield.
"I hope it slacks up some, if not I'm gonna have to pull off when we get near the hunting cabin." He said.
"I never knew there was a hunting cabin up here." I said looking at him.
" Yeah we've had it for years, my Pa and uncle Jim own the whole mountain. People have been having parties up here for years, they make me go so I can make sure no one gets into too much trouble, I usually have a few beers and stay out of everybody's way and i leave when I figure its late enough. The cabins just a little piece up the way, unless you want to try and make it down."
"Nah, we should just get to the cabin, and wait it out. I'm gonna look on my phone and see if i can find out whats going on with the weather." I said checking my phone. Cap had just pulled up to the cabin.
"Apparently the weather station is giving severe thunderstorm warning's with golf ball sized hail and a tornado watch. There's a tornado warning for south Logan County near the Tug. Staying up here is definitely our best bet." I said looking at Cap, he was chewing his bottom lip.
"Were gonna have to ma e a run for it, but we'll still get soaking wet. I hate weather like this, especially when its night. You cant see it that way." He said shutting the truck off.
We made a run for it and when we got to the cabin we were soaked. The cabin was small it had a living room/kitchen and two doors which I assumed led to a bathroom and a bedroom.
"I'll try and get a fire going, but i don't know how good of a job it will do." Cap said going in one of the other rooms. When he came back he was wearing a pair of Camo pants and a white t shirt and he was carrying a bundle of clothes.
"The other door leads to the bathroom you can change outta those wet clothes into these. They may not fit but they'll at least be warm. There's some towels in there so you can dry off." He said.
"OK." I was freezing to say the least and a tad bit nervous. Staying the night with a random guy you just met, not to mention that the weather outside was terrible. What could go wrong? Somehow even though as freaked out as I was somehow I felt safe with Cap. Somehow the clothes he gave me sorta fit the pants were almost the right size and the shirt was a little big, but once i tied a hair bow around a piece of it, it was all good. When i walked out Cap had already started a fire which i was very grateful for.
"The clothes fit, thank you for everything." I said sitting down on the worn plad sofa.
"Your welcome." He said genuinely. Standing up to stretch his legs.
The power went off a little while after that, so we listened to the rain outside. It sounded more like a monsoon with the wind howling as much as it was. Somehow that night time seemed to stand still, as hellacious as it was inside we were content in that cabin on top of that mountain. Somehow during the night I fell asleep during the night and when i woke up my head was on his shoulder, his arm was around me and i was wrapped up in a blanket. The fire had died down and it was starting to get colder, it was still dark outside so I must not have slept for very long. Cap must've sensed when i woke up because he soon woke up after that.
"I should get up and put more wood onto the fire." He said looking at me.
"No its fine." I said putting the blanket over him as well.
He looked into my eyes and kissed me, his lips were soft as velvet. I melted into that kiss. A kiss that was intense and soft all at the same time. When that kiss ended and our foreheads were pressed together we were both breathless.
In life were always told about that one kiss that will leave you breathless, seeing stars, and wanting more. That was how my kiss with Cap was, and I knew in that moment that he was it. He was the Rhett to my Scarlett, the Jack to my Rose, and the mate to my soul.
