After I had calmed down, we left Brandy’s and went back to my vacation rental.
We were lieing on the queen size bed with sandy sheets when Jack said my name.
It surprised me alittle because for the past hour we had just been lieing here, next to one another memorizing each other.
“Ashley..” he said, and I’ve never heard him sound so hesitant. I hummed a reply.
“I.. I want you,” he stumbled nervously. What on earth was he trying to say?!
“I’m yours Jack,” I reminded him.
“You sure?” he asked pulling me even closer.
I frowned, “I am sure that I am yours and you are mine.”
“Forever?” he asked.
“Jack.. forever never lasts…” I sighed, getting grumpier by the second.
“We will last,” he promised.
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you always,” he whispered.
And with that he sang me to sleep just by whispering his name and my name and forever and something about love.
