I give her a mischievous grin. “Just don’t.”
“Okay,” she says with a shrug of her shoulders. I don’t know what we’ll do yet, but I want to show her how much I love her and how much I appreciate her. I have some thinking to do. Meanwhile, I had class to attend. I throw away our plates and we walk together to our next class. I don’t pay much attention. I need to figure out how I want to spend this entire weekend with Emily. Suddenly the idea came to me.
It was perfect. I would need to call my uncle and set some arrangements in place. Then I would need to skip school Friday to go and set things in place. This was going to be great and I couldn’t wait!
At home, I decided to talk to my dad. We were sitting in the living room on the couch watching TV. This is something we haven’t done since my mom died. “Dad? I want to take Emily to Uncle Roy’s place for the weekend. I just want to take her away. Do you mind being with Drake all weekend?”
“Of course not. This will give us some father-son time. Does her father know you two will be spending the weekend there?”
“She doesn’t even know it yet. Emily just knows that we will be doing something. He’s going to be out of town this weekend, so…” I trail off.
“That’s sketchy territory son. She needs to tell her father,” he tells me with a serious face.
“I’ll tell her,” I reassure him. “Thanks Dad,” I add. I hop up and run upstairs to text Emily.
We’re going away 4 the weekend. U might want 2 tell your dad.
Seconds later, she replies.
He might stay home, if I do that. It can be our secret.
Dad knows. I tell her.
Does that mean y’all are better?
Not yet.
Are you going to give me a hint? What should I pack?
Bathing suit and whatever else you want to wear. I tell her.
I’m excited…I love you Jake <3
I love you too Sweetness. See you soon.
Finally, it is Friday! I wake up, take Drake to school, and come back home to pack my clothes. I stuffed my duffle bag with clothes, personal toiletries, and condoms. Everything else was in the car. With my bag in hand, I went to my car to start the drive to my Uncle’s home away from home, which was a few hours away.
Excitement ran threw me as I thought of the upcoming weekend that I would spend completely alone with my beautiful Emily. I stopped by the grocery store to stock up on food, before heading to Uncle Roy’s place. I unloaded the contents of my car and started my work. Groceries had to be put away. Sheets had to be put on the bed. A table needed to be set and candles needed to be placed.
Hours later, everything is the way I like and I head back to my sweet Emily.
Emily
I decided not to tell Dad. He would certainly try to keep me from going and I didn’t want to pass this up. I did leave a note saying that I would be out with Jake should he come home before me. My bag was packed and I was waiting for Jake to come get me. I kept getting up and looking out the window. Speaking of, it’s been a few minutes since I last looked.
I walk over to the window and peek out to see my favorite person pulling into my driveway. I grab my bag and head out the door locking it behind me. “Excited to see me,” Jake asks standing by his car.
I run to him and jump in his arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him. I plant an excited kiss on his lips and say, “You bet I am. Where are we going?”
He puts me back on the ground and walks me to the other side. “You’ll have to wait and see.” On the way to wherever it is we are going, I hold Jake’s hand. Every few minutes, he gives me this excited look and kisses my hand. Soon, it is apparent that we are going to the mountains. After hours of driving and stopping for a quick bite to eat, darkness is upon us and we finally arrive. We drive down a gravel road up and up until we arrive at a two story log cabin. I give Jake a quizzical look and he says, “It’s my Uncle’s vacation house. Stay here for just a minute, okay?”
I sit in the car while Jake goes inside. I reach in the backseat for my bag and get out to enjoy the mountain air. I rest on the hood of his car until he walks back outside. He takes my hand and leads me up to the house. There are rocking chairs and a porch swing on the porch. Jake gives me a quick kiss before he opens the door. I gasp at the sight before me.
Stairs on the right lead to the second floor. Rose petals are scattered around everywhere. Candles were flickering all around the house. I slowly walk and take it all in. The kitchen is to the immediate left and then the living room. A huge fireplace sits in the corner with a big screen TV hanging on it. Two couches, a recliner-all beige, along with a coffee table take up the room. Through the tall rectangle windows I can see an in-ground pool with lights.
It appears to be screened in. To the right of the living room is a pool table and two doors, leading to rooms. I turn around and look at Jake who has been admiring my expression by the door. “It’s beautiful.” He walks over to me and cradles my face. He leans down and gives me a kiss that melts my insides. “I love you Emily. This weekend is for me to show you how much I love you and how happy I am to have you. This weekend is just for us.”
“Aw, Jake. Thank you. I love you.” I give him another kiss. When I pull away, excitement fills my eyes. “Let’s go swimming,” I say, already heading outside. I set my bag on the couch and go to the pool. Forget a bathing suit. We are going skinny dipping. I peel off my clothes and hear Jake laugh behind me. Once naked, I walk down to the deep end, glance at a half naked Jake, and jump in.
