My childhood crush; we meet again

The Grand Tour

    As soon as we get back we grab mine and Anna's luggage out of the back seat, as soon as we get inside we set them down by the door and we look around for everyone; "Where are they?" I ask Jackson and look over at him a little confused. He simply shrugs and smiles. "They are probably in the bar room..." Bar room? I might like this place yet. "Come on I'll show you around give you a tour after we check in with them...." I smile at his generosity. "That would be great... Thanks..." As I thank him a blush creeps up my cheeks but the lighting in the hall wasn't the greatest and I thanked for that so he couldn't see my cheeks. We start walking down hall after hall until finally we reach the bar.

     And there's my girl sat at the bar with my brother and a couple of other people I have yet to meet. Davie comes over in strides and pulls me into a hug, "You guys are back." I smile at him as we part. "Umm. Yes we are what are you guys doing?" I ask as he laughs a little. "What does it look like..." He says with a smirk. "Right..." I say back but before I could say anything else he starts to speak again. "You want a drink?" He asks me.

     "Yeah, I'll have a shot or two and then Jackson's going to show me around. Especially since all I've seen is the front door the office of course, and hall after hall and then the bar room..." I smile shyly before then turning towards Anna first then Davie and the other three men, "You want to come for the tour Anna? Davie? And... Whoever you guys are?..." I ask all of them looking over at the other 3 guys that was standing at the bar.

     "Umm, where are my manners. This is Billy- Joe, Bobby, and Chris." Davie says as he points to each one of them. " Billy- Joe, Chris and Bobby this is my long time gone sister Bella." As soon as Davie introduces me the 3 guys'  mouths just about fall open and Billy- Joe speaks up after composing himself. "Since when did you have a sister?..." He asks and the other two just shakes there heads in disbelief.

     "Actually the past 23 years... But... our mom took her back to Miami the last 15 years." He pauses slightly and sighs before he continues. "But our mom recently passed and so she came here with a nudge from Anna." He says with gratitude at the last part and I can see Anna's cheeks redden at his words. Thankful for Anna forcing me to come back he looks at her. "I should thank you Anna for forcing my sister to come." The color in her cheeks darken.

      She smiles and nods at davie's words. "I didn't do it for you... But... You're welcome." He smiles back at her and I see potential in the making here between my brother and my best friend. I can already tell they like each other. "Well I'm still thankful." He says genuinely and she smiles at him from under her eyelashes, looking all cutesy in a flirtatious way.

     I look over at Jackson whose now staring back at me with a smile and I return a smile back at him. "Well, alrighty then let's grab a drink then you can show me around..." He nods and I turn back to Davie, "I want a shot of tequila?"

      Davie turns to one of the three men. " Bobby can you get my sis here a shot of tequila." As he says this he puts an arm around my shoulders into a side hug and we walk towards the bar and Jackson follows. "Make that two shots of tequila and a Jack and Coke please?" Jackson asks, I didn't peg him for a tequila kind of guy. The Jack and Coke maybe but not tequila. Bobby nods as he gets our drinks then he asks, "Anyone else want anything?" Anna nods, along with Davie, Billy- Joe and Chris. 

     As soon as Bobby's done making all the drinks including his own we all make a toast to "New beginnings." I down my shot and ask for one more and after that one I turn towards Jackson, "So you ready to show me around." I smile at him and he returns it, "Yep. Let's go..." Before leaving the room I turn to Anna. "You coming or staying?" I ask her.

     "I'm just gonna hang out here." She simply replies before turning towards Davie, "Maybe later you can give me the Grand tour?" She smiles as she asks him. He returns the smile and replies to her, " Ya... Of.... Of course." He stumbles over his words.

      I chuckle softly and shake my head. "Okay... Well... We will be back in a little bit after... My grand tour..." I smile at Davie a knowing look on my face. I link my arm in the crook of Jackson's elbow. "Show me the way!" I laugh out as I throw my other hand out to point towards the door. He chuckles softly and says, "Follow me." 

      I wave to the others, "See ya guys in a bit..." My brother looks at me with concern in his eyes. I think because of Jackson and his reputation but he doesn't say anything he just nods at us as we walk out the door.

     "So do you live here as well?" I ask trying to start up a conversation with him he leads me down the hall. "Yes I do. My room is upstairs. We all actually live here so it never really gets boring." At this fact it was going to be hard for me not to just go to his room and have him completely. "Nice..." I simply reply to him.

      First he showed me the dining room it was very elegant, a big mahogany table the legs of it we're mahogany with a glass center piece, outlining it with more mahogany wood. And in the center was a beautiful center pieces of a bouquet of roses all different colors and a few tulips thrown in as well. Around the table we're about 50 chairs or so. And there was a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. "Wow this is beautiful..." I say to him and out of the corner of my eyes I see him just staring at me with a smile upon his lips. "I couldn't agree more..." 

      I smile at his words. Because I knew what he was talking about and it wasn't at my comment for the dining room and all it's beautiful glory. He said it to me, for me... I turn to him and his cheeks redden. "Well... Are we going to continue the tour?" He sighs in contentment that I didn't question why he said what he said. He nods holding his elbow out for me. "Yes... Right this way..." 

     The next stop was the kitchen, and it looked something out of Gordon's kitchen in the middle was a marble topped island which was very beautiful all the utensils were either silver or gold and then there was fine China. The counter tops circled around which was stainless steel all around. The cabinets were made of pure elegant wood. The fridge had three door, the bottom one slides out to be the freezer the other two swings open to become the fridge. On the outside it was made of stainless steel with a built in ice and water machine.

     The kitchen looked barely used, "Do you guys ever use this kitchen?" I ask as I turn to face him he saw my face light up at how beautiful and elegant the kitchen was. "Sometimes... But, we usually have someone cooking us food... Your dad he actually hired a personal chef. But they clean the kitchen daily so you'd never know." I nod my head. And we continue on the Grand tour.

     The next stop was the living room, we had to walk past the office but I already knew where it was cause that was the first room we entered here when we first came here. The living room looked more like a man cave even though this one wasn't even the man cave. It had a huge flat screen with a large surround sound system, and lots of game consoles like Xbox and Play Stations and more I couldn't believe it. 

       The couch was brown leather that circled half way around the room with a white fluffy carpet underneath it and the coffee table. The coffee table was made of glass and had a couple of glass cubbies underneath. There was two end tables dark brown one on each side of the couch. 

      The living room had a glass sliding door to the porch and pool out back as I look I couldn't believe this place it was huge and had lots of rooms and more to be shown. "I can't believe mom would want to leave this place." I say not even realizing I was falling in love just by the three rooms and the out back. "You... Umm... You ready to continue?" He asks stumbling over his words, not really knowing what to say after me bringing my mom up.

     It was an uncomfortable subject and he knew that so he tried avoiding it. I shake my thoughts away and nod at him with a smile, "Yeah. Where to next?" I ask. He shakes his head and chuckles. "You have to wait and see..." He says. I just laugh and shake my head. "Fine..." 

     The next stop was a massive library with books that covered all the shelves from the floor to almost the large ceiling. I have never seen so many books in one place. Each of the book shelves were white and elegant. In fact everything I've seen so far was wicked elegant. I didn't dare touch anything really. "Wow... I've never seen so many books in one place..." I look at the shelves in awe of everything. This library goes on for miles I think...

     "I know... Your father and brother have been collecting them over the years. In fact I think everyone that lives here has helped with collection at one time or another." I look over at him and see him smiling at the books then he looks over to me with an even wider smile and continues on, "In fact there's a particular section I want to show you. No one's ever allowed in this section. But... Since you're here now I don't see why we can't..." I look at him in confusion as he grabs my hand and smirks at me. "Trust me you'll love it..." As he says this he drags me farther and farther throughout the library and I just look around in amazement all the shelves were covered almost completely.

     We start to slow down and I notice the title of the section he wants to show me, 'Bella's favorites!' What the hell? We go into the section and I see all my favorites and I mean every single one from when I was 8 years old. I skim the books with my finger and look at Jackson who has a cocky grin. He's playing dirty. He's playing at my heart from when I was a child. He knows what he's doing. And it's working very little.  "How did you know this was here?" I ask as I furrow my brows at him, looking confused and wondering why I have a section.

     He shrugs at me the smile never leaving his face. "I helped them with putting this section together including the books, when I was 16 years old." I thought I was confused before and even now I'm more than confused. "Why would you have helped them with this... I mean Its a nice gesture... But... Why? Why did they want to give me a section?" I ask stumbling over some of the words as I go. I'm still looking at Jackson his smile turns slightly at my questions. 

     "You don't realize...." He starts off with a questioning look. And he shakes his head. "You don't even realize how much you leaving with your mom has impacted the both of them. They put this up as a reminder of you before you leaving 15 years ago. Whether you believe it or not they do love you and they do care for you. Regardless of them not going to the funeral, they do care. They didn't go because they had a lot of work to get done the week of her funeral. And all that week I know they kept hoping that you were okay."

     As he says this I didn't realize that we were still holding hands from when he had me following him. I look down to see our fingers still interlocked with each other and blush. "Can anyone see us or hear us in here?" I ask him a confused look spreads across his face. "No. Not unless someone walks down here.... Why?" He asks.

     I look up to meet his gaze I put my other hand on his cheek. "Thank you Jackson..." I smile at him and he smiles back at me. Before I even realize what's going on we both lean in to each other slowly, him more than me. And before I knew it his lips crashed into mine. His tongue tries to part my lips to open them, to consume my mouth. Once my lips do part for him our tongues intertwined and danced with each other's. He tasted sweet and I could feel the metal ball of his tongue ring glide across my tongue. 

     I was making out with Jackson Whitmore, my first childhood crush. And we melted into each other as if we belonged to each other. He grabbed onto my hair pulling on it a little bit. And I grab a fist full of his hair and moan silently into his mouth. After a couple minutes we part each other before going to far leaning our for heads against each other. "I don't think we should be doing this." He says both of our faces a flushed from making out. "Neither do I..." I say back.

     My brother would probably freak out, "Did you... Did you wanna finish the tour?" He asks with a smile, one that I return to him. I nod at him. "Yeah, that would be great." I grab his elbow in my hand and we set off for the other rooms.

     The next rooms was a massive home Theater, a game room, some bathrooms and the indoor pool. Once we get to the indoor pool I ask him; "Want to go swimming later tonight?" Once I ask him to go swimming he chuckles a little. "Yeah if we're not to s**t faced." I laugh a little at his words. "Okay... If we get s**t faced then how about tomorrow night? Just you and me a late night swim, what do you say?" He smiles at me. " Maybe."
