The party was well underway as Jack,
Rose, and Moira pulled up in front of the club known as The Quarry.
“Finally we’re here!” Moira hopped out
of the car and headed inside ready to dance her problems away.
“Jack,” Rose grabbed his arm before
they entered, her insecurities rising to the surface. She had never felt so nervous in her life. This was a whole new environment for her. “Are you sure this is a good idea?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry. You’re with
me. That’s all that matters,” He
squeezed her hand in reassurance. He
knew just how nervous she must be and he was going to do everything in his
power to make her feel comfortable.
Rose felt like covering her ears with
her hands as they enter the club.
Looking around, she saw everything from purple hair to pierced body
parts. She clung to Jack’s hand for
dear life.
“This must be Punk night,” Jack looked
at her apologetically. “I’m sorry
Rose. It’s not usually like this. Do you want to leave?”
Rose swallowed and nodded. She wasn’t ready for any of this. She hated her lack of courage just
then. She looked up at Jack as he
squeezed her hand.
“It’s ok. I understand. Punk night
is a little bit much for new comers to The Quarry. We’ll go see a movie or something.”
They push their way through the crowd
until Jack spotted Moira dancing with a boy dressed in black leather with
spiked hair.
“Moira!” Jack shouted over the
music. His friend stopped dancing and
faced him.
“Yeah?”
“I’m taking Rose out of here! Can you find a ride home tonight?!”
“Yeah! Spike will take me!” Moira nodded at her dancing partner. “See you tomorrow!”
“Ok!” Jack waved. Five minutes later they’re standing outside
enjoying the refreshing cool air.
“That’s better,” Rose sighed in relief. “I’m sorry Jack. You must think I’m a terrible wimp.”
“No I don’t. Punk night is not for new comers. I forgot what day it was, so it’s my own fault. So what kind of movie do you want to see? Spiderman or are you holding out for Star
Wars Episode 2?”
Rose giggled. “Well…I’m kind of holding out for episode
2. Hayden Christensen is so cute,” She
blushed and laughed at Jack’s pout. “But
not as cut as you. Come on, you can’t
tell me that Natalie Portman doesn’t make you hot.”
“Well…maybe just a little,” Jack,
laughed as they got in the car. “But
she doesn’t do to me what you do.”
Rose arched her brow. “What do I do to you?”
Jack leaned down until his face was so
close to hers that she could feel his warm breath on her cheek. “You make me hot all over.”
“…Jack…” She never finished that
sentence. His heated kisses made all
rational thought flee her mind. Her
hands dove into his shaggy blond hair as he leaned her back against the car
seat. She moaned in pleasure as his
lips left hers and he began working on her neck. She clung to him as if he was her life preserver. She couldn’t stop moaning his name over and
over as he took her to heights she had never been before.
“Jack,” She sighed as he pulled her
closer.
His hands were about to go into her
shirt when the car was suddenly emerged in light. Jack quickly pulled away to see Charlie the security guard
smiling in at them. Blushing
furiously, Rose straightened her hair and clothes.
“You two kids have been sitting here
for a while. Is there a problem?” The
guard feigned innocence at interrupting the passionate moment.
“No sir. We were just leaving,” Jack glanced at the guard before starting
the car and pulling out of the parking lot.
Rose began to giggle as she imagined the guard’s face if he had came by
just a little while later. It would
have been priceless.
“What’s so funny?” Jack smiled at
Rose’s laughter.
“Oh Jack, imagine if we got a little
bit further…imagine the look on his face.”
Jack smiled. “That would teach him
about shining that light into car windows,” His smile faded as he remembered
what they had done. He looked at Rose
and noticed the darkening places on her neck where he had kissed and sucked at
numerous times. He felt a hot blush
heat his face. “Rose…I-I don’t know
what to say. I don’t know what got into
me back there.”
“Jack, you weren’t the only one. I was ready and willing to let you do
whatever you wanted. Your arms and lips
felt so good and for the first time I felt like I was where I belonged. I’ve never felt that way with anyone
before.”
“Neither have I Rose. I’ve never felt ready to go that far with
any woman before. You’re special
Rose. Real special. I think…I think I’m falling in love with
you,” he pulled up in front of her apartment building.
“Oh Jack,” She threw her arms around
him, enjoying the warmth of his body so close to hers. “I’m falling in love with you too.”
Jack pressed his lips against hers and
they soon get lost in one another once again.
Rose was the first to pull away, gazing lovingly into his eyes.
“I better get in; Mother will be
worried.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow then,” Jack
tucked a red curl behind her ear.
“Sweet dreams Rosie.”
“Sweet dreams,” Rose sighed, kissing
him one last time before hopping out of the car and disappearing into the
building.
Somehow both Jack and Rose knew that
this indeed was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
