Thank you for the reviews ladies, I have officially decided that they are what keep me going. I didn't get this up as soon as I wanted too. Sorry about the wait so I hope you all think this chapter was worth it.

"No, way Jon!" I shook my head. "There is no way, I can't!" The very thought of it scared the hell out of me.

"Come on, Becca, it will be fun." He pouted. "I promise." He grabbed my hand. "Look at me, please." I forced myself to look up at him. He grasped my hand tightly as he held it and took his other hand and cupped my cheek. "We can go together and I promise I will make sure you are safe"

As I looked into his eyes I thought that I must have been crazy, because I knew that he had won me over. I smiled nervously and said "Yes." His face lit up and those dimples of his appeared right before he leaned in and captured my lips with his own.

The sun was disappearing and the neon lights from the strip were becoming visible. The hum of the engines were deafening. How the hell did I get here, I asked myself then I looked to the left of me and I remembered. That blue eyed devil, that is how. He was looking over at me already, smiling away. I wonder if he could read my thoughts. I gave him a look, a nervous I can't believe I am doing this look. He squeezed my hand trying to reassure me. His energy was a little contagious, I will admit. I could hardly believe the strength he gave me. Yes, I, Becca Lee Stanley was going to throw myself out of a plane and hurdle to the ground, Never in a million years did I ever think I would go skydiving. As I sat there and watched one person after another throw themselves out of that plane I was surprisingly very calm cause I knew I was not going alone. Or maybe my stomach was in such knots it cut off the blood to my brain and I was not thinking properly.

As we stood and made our way to the front of the plane he gripped my hand tightly. Jon and the instructor gave each other a nod and we took a few steps closer to the door. We were 35,000 feet in the air and The ground was painfully far away. We were going to do a Tandem jump which I would be strapped to Jon. As I stood in front of him the instructor strapped us together. There was no backing out now. I wasn't so sure I wanted to back out. This was one of those now or never things and I just thought I should go with it. As we stood there strapped to one another, Jon wrapped his arms around me tightly and the next thing I knew we were out of the plane and falling with the wind against us. Of course I screamed at first. I was far from graceful and I did have my moments of fear, however at the same time it was peaceful. I thought how this would be the closest that I would ever be to flying. Just out there in the air looking down at what was going on instead of just being amongst it. It was exciting and liberating. We were falling to the ground one minute and the next we slowed down and it felt like we were floating. After looking up one brief moment to only make sure the parachute was operational. I refocused my attention to the world around me as I descended back into it.

The landing was anything but graceful, neither one of us broke anything and we managed to laugh about it. I am pretty sure that I may have a bruise or two but all in all it was worth it. Jon worked on unhooking us and went on and on about how great that was all the while I agreed with him and meant it sincerely Once I could move of my own free will again and we were unstrapped I turned around and threw my arms around him smiling. He returned the embrace and for the first time in awhile I had forgotten everything and everyone and I was just in that very moment. Looking up at Jon's smiling face and running my fingertips down his cheek I said "You're amazing!" He leaned in close hovering inches away from my face. "That's funny I was just thinking the same thing" Then leaning in the rest of the way he softly kissed me.

As I slide into the booth at the dinner, Jon slide in across from me. We were both still smiling and high on adrenaline. "That was one of the most amazing things I ever did" I confessed

"I knew you would love it" He smiled "I knew it, now thank me and tell me how indebted you are to me"

"No" I shook my head "You're going to have to wait"

He laughed "Well at least admit I was right"

"Fine you were right"

Out of the corner of my eye I could see the waitress approaching us. When she got to the table she had her pen and pad in hand and she was smiling sweetly. She nodded at me.

"How are you doing tonight?"

"Great" I replied.

Then she turned to Jon " Hey there sweetie, you're back in town I see. How have you been?"

" Pretty good, I am off again tomorrow but you know I was going to stop by and see you" He said with a wink.

The woman giggled and a slight blush crept across her cheeks. She was probably in her early fifties and there was hardly anything to be jealous about. I bet he did this with her all the time.

"I know what you want" she winked at him. "The usual for you of course" Then looking at me she asked. "How about you honey?"

"I'm not sure" I looked at her "what is he having?"

"A cheeseburger with fries and a strawberry shake, he never switches it up" She chuckled.

"Ok sounds good, I will take the same."

" Great " She said reaching over and patting Jon's shoulder as she smiled at me "I will get it out to you as soon as I can" Then she walked away.

We sat there and talked about what a great day it was. Everything was truly amazing. The minutes passed and the waitress made her way back the food. setting our plates in front of us she returned to the counter and grabbed both of the shakes and said I made yours the same way as he gets his. "Enjoy" then she walked away.

"Double thick, extra whipped cream and three cherries" He laughed. Rubbing his hands together he grabbed his burger and took a bite. "Best in the world" He blurted out. I couldn't help but laugh, This man was adorable even when he was talking with a mouth full of food. "Go ahead try it"

Taking a bite, I would have to admit it is very good. "Not bad" I said with a laugh.

"Not bad?"He took a fry off his plate and threw it at me.

I grabbed a cherry off my shake and nailed him right in the cheek with it. The whipped cream that the cherry was coated with stuck to his cheek. Taking his index finger and swiping it through his whip cream on his shake he ran it right down my nose.

"You do realize this is war" I declared picking up another cherry and getting him in the forehead with it.

Just as Jon was plotting his revenge the waitress walked up and handed us some extra napkins. "It looks like you may need these" she smiled "Try to get some in your mouths too"

Jon, smiled "Time to behave but wait till I get you home. Anything goes there." Taking another bite of his burger. Home? Did I hear that right I asked myself. And as soon as I questioned myself he looked over at me "Well you know what I mean" His expression changed. "I was kind of hoping you would stay over another night." looking down at his plate he quietly said "You know I leave tomorrow" I won't be back for almost two weeks"

I already knew my answer; there was nothing to think about. "Of course, I will" He smiled over at me "I was hoping that would be what you said"
