As that day came, she could feel the excitement coursing through her veins. She was expecting a rather romantic setting, but when Jack and her pulled up to their destination, she saw it was simply a quiet, pleasant spot, almost hidden from the road. They would park on a hill, which overlooked the entire city. Jack must've thought it to be the perfect hideaway for their romantic conversation; she couldn't agree more.
She stepped out of the car to admire the view and over walked Jack, taking him in with a loving stare. She noted the care he had taken to look his best for this encounter, noting the dark suit and small flower tucked behind his ear. They climbed back into the car, and Jack shut the door behind them. As he put the car in park, he looked at Missi, his gaze lingering on her lips. When they locked eyes, one could feel the electricity that would erupt between them. Yet, he knew, it wasn't the right time; he wanted to talk with her first. They struck a conversation about their plans for the future, and Missi took in every word. It was as if Jack shared his very core, entrusting her with the most intimate parts of himself. And when he dropped the bomb, she knew their conversations wouldn't end anytime soon. "So... we'll be driving out of town, to a hidden cabin my grandfather had. It's a family place. Noah and I used to have some good times there... I imagine you and I could utilize it in much the same way you and I have."
With the sentiments of wanting to get to know him better and a growing need to enjoy each other's company, Missi nodded. "That sounds like the perfect weekend getaway." As the dim lights of the city turned back on, Jack pushed her hair from her face. "We're not going to spend the whole night talking about the future - am I correct, Missi?" he asked, hungry eyes darkening with desire. Missi shook her head, raising her body against his, pulling him in for a passionate kiss with an intensity neither could deny. Their arms wrapped around one another, grasping eagerly. Their tongues strived to be closer, and they surrendered to the blissful spell between them. It was an experience that surpassed that of the past few evenings.
Their craving for one another threatened to tear apart the protective barrier of the car, which was stripped of its precious warmth. They continued to stay there for several minutes, locked in a deep passion. When he finally pulled away from Missi, he was able to start the car and begin the journey toward the so-called hideaway house. Their evening concluded much later, with her basking in the afterglow of their encounter. Missi allowed Jack to lead her into their next steps, more than willing to commit to this connection and a future where they could love each other fully, exploring the daring land of intimacy and their unforeseen bond. As they drove off into the night, they exited the realm of a hidden tryst and into a new life permeated with discoveries, challenges, and an unyielding shared desire that was more than worth all the trouble. Missi suspected there might be something more, some unimaginable eventuality in their future. Yet, at that moment, nothing mattered except one thing: their love. With this knowledge, she looked over at Jack, and they both knew the other could see the same promising future in the other's eyes. As Jack and Missi continued their nightly outings, their connection growing stronger with each encounter. The land of intimacy became a hidden safe haven for the two, where they braved the unknown and explored the depths of their undeniable bond.
As they explored his family cabin, that evening, they shared stories of their upbringing, laughing and reminiscing about childhood memories. With every shared memory, their connection with each other seemed to intensify, leading to an inescapable realization. Jack could feel it brewing, and his heart raced as he scrutinized her face eagerly. "Missi, I need to ask you something. I know it might sound strange, but" "I know," she interrupted gently, her eyes revealing a similar thought. "Jack, I've been waiting to hear you say something like this." "So you'll be my girlfriend?" he asked, a bit uncertain. "Absolutely," Missi replied, her voice filled with gentle relief
and a profusion of emotion. "This is where I want to be."
It felt as if a weight had been lifted. Their relationship, once fun and uncomplicated, now dawned on them as a true partnership, with unfathomable potential and blissful experiences shared beyond the physical. As time went on, they continued to spend their evenings creating ever-lasting memories, cherishing the most intimate moments, and discussing their future. It wasn't long before they knew they wanted to share their lives with one another, leading to an unspoken decision.
During one particular evening two weeks later, they spoke about their wedding, and Missi brought up the subject of a honeymoon. Jack, though, possessed a more selfish motive, eyes shining as he expressed, "If I were to propose, we wouldn't need a honeymoon." "That's true," she mused. "I feel like we've already had the best honeymoon possible we've taken sexy cruises on my car and dusty trips in yours; fell in love while being adventurous in the woods, and had earth-shattering encounters that feel magical every time. Maybe we don't need a honeymoon at all," Missi shared.
