Date... suprise - part 1

Chapter Eleven

Date… suprise - part one

Jenn’s P.O.V.

I just got off the phone with mom, she is really missing me and she will even miss me more after Summerbreak. She was all sentimental, crying about how I am all grown up now and she never saw it coming. Jay rolled his eyes, got up from the bed and hopped in the bathroom.

My body is still throbbed from my punishment last night. Jayden is leveling up our play. Okay, I had it coming. I knew I overstepped our agreements. I shouldn’t pushed his jealousy that far. Let’s cut the bs, because that is the real reason, why he was mad, only he will never admit that. But I am the stubborn one.

‘Right.’

I am still chilling on my bed, I am sore AF. Trying to get in a more relaxing mode, I see Jay coming out the bathroom.

“Get ready, babygirl. We have a long day to cover.”, he smiled at me cheerful, walking out the bathroom.

“Put your swimwear in your bag, wear something easy now, don’t forget our little bet…”, Jay teasingly reminding me.

‘How could I forget that… Wait… What?’

“I don’t understand, why today?”, I whined at him, still laying lazy on the bed.

“Come on, get up. First, we are going to have breakfast at Mimi’s. So, get ready. You have 60 minutes,”, Jay looks on his watch, “Starting from… now.”

I narrow my eyes at him, crossing my arms, stating I am refusing to make a move. I will not, he didn’t even asked me on a propper date, but he is implying I should remind the deal. Everything with Jay is always a bet. Stubborn asshole. If he would just say it.

‘Maybe I should…’

“Do I have to drag you out of that bed, miss full in her thoughts?”, Jay his voice is still a bit hazy.

“Well, well, well, Mr. Lewis... Where are you manners?”, I ask him, while I got myself moving to the side of the bed. It is not like I don’t want to go, only he has to keep his respect, otherwise this little game will change fast. Jay follows my every move.

“Is something bothering you, Miss Turner?”

“Now why should there be?”, I say as calmly as I can. I would like him to ask me, without making things clear. Although Jayden is still a man. Trying to get away with everything, in his own way. I don’t want to waste any of my time. What am I even thinking.

‘Could Jay be using me? Could he be taken advantage of my life long crush? Maybe I am just a rebound.’

Thinking that, I am getting a bit nauseous. My head starts spinning, and felt as if my heart almost stopped beating. I quickly get up, take my robe, putting it on smoothly, I walk to my bathroom and lock the door.

“Come on, Jenn, why are you locking the door? I still have to brush my hair and my brush is in there.”

Ignoring Jay, I turn on the water. I walk to my sink and watched myself in the mirror. I looked at myself deep in my reflection, forgetting everything surrounding me.

‘You have to give this time. Don’t rush into your own beliefs. Have some trust.’

It was a calming aura, taking me at ease. I have nothing to fear, but it will take time apparently.

I am still not going on a date like this. He can forget it. Unlocking the bathroom door, I step into the shower.

‘He should be entering soon.’

And I was right, not even a minute in the shower, Jay walks in.

“Baby, why did you close the door. You saw my hair wasn’t ready yet.”

“I just needed some alone time.”, I reply unbothered.

While I am letting the water sooth my skin and mind, Jayden does his thing and gets out. I am irritated by this whole thing again.

‘This boy got some nerve, we have known each other for ages, and this is they way he is going to take me on a date.. our first date?! He must be out of his mind, for Goddess sake, this is not how it should go.’

I take my toothbrush, and start scrubbing my teeth with a hince of aggression. Causing my gums to bleed, by the taste of blood in my mouth.

‘Easy, girl. Don’t worry. Don’t let your emotions overrule your peace of mind. Stay focused.’

I got out the shower. Thinking what I am going to wear, I did my hair and make up.

‘Hmm… Nah, don’t make it too easy for him.’

That is when the perfect outfit came to mind. I might get a bit in trouble again, atleast not for breaking our bet. He think he has games. I walk to my closet and got ready. Jayden was nowhere to be found, but he left a glass of O'j on my desk. I glock it down, take my phone put the charger, start reading my social and walk down stairs. Until I almost walked into a fresh bouquet of roses. My favorite flower. Looking at the bouquet, I see it’s my favorite color of roses. My heart got overwhelmed, and I already feel ashamed of my childish behavior earlier. What’s done is done, so we just go with the flow. I look up at Jay, to see his marvelous handsome smile.

“You thought I wouldn’t think about the details, didn’t you?”

How is it that he reads me this good? I try not to roll my eyes, giving away that he is right, so I close my eyes, take a deep sniff as if I am smelling the roses. Jay chuckles at me silly move.

“So, uhm… Jennifer?”, he tried to be more serious again, “would you gave me the honor to bring you on a dating day?”, I can tell he is a little nervous, the crook in his voice gave him away.

‘Goddess, please let this be a sign.’

Jay cleared his throat, letting me know he is waiting for an answer.

I took the flowers and smiled.

“Thank you, my King.”, I slighty bow down.

“You are welcome, my Queen.”, Jay takes my free hand, bows and places a single kiss.

“Let me give this a place and we can go.”

With 15 minutes later we were in the car, on our way to Mimi's. I am going to miss her delicious cooking when we go to college. We used to eat breakfast almost every week after swimming classes growing up, that rolled in to another tradition from our families kept doing together on occasion. However… We never sat down to eat there alone. It was always with the fam or either the group. Hopefully we can get a good seat. It’s always packed.

“What’s got you zoning out this morning, baby?”, Jay put down the music a bit, trying to start a conversation.

“Nothing, just a little soreness.”, I laugh shy. “Only, don’t think I won’t rebel against you anymore.”, I whisper.

Jay’s grip on the steering wheel got a little tighter, still looking at the road, smiling.

“You watch your step now, otherwise I might have to order a pre dessert during breakfast.”

Acting surprised by his words, I just nod at him and smile innocent.

“We are almost there, I asked Robbie to save a place for us. After breakfast we are going for a long drive, so make sure you eat enough, okay?”

Really surprised by his words, I ask him;

“Uhmmm… Where are we going?”

“No worries, Princess. We are going on a little trip.”, Jayden slightly turned his head and winked at me.

‘So he did planned this whole thing out? Maybe I have jumped to conclusions a little bit too soon.’

“Okay, where are you taking us?”

“The rest is a suprise.”, he confidently said, while parking the car.

I made sure he saw my disappointment, I hate surprises, he knows that.

“For a change, I am not telling you a thing…,”, Jay turned his face to me, smiled and locked his lips. Trying pouting my lips didn’t even work. I huff in annoyance, as he wouldn’t break his silence.

‘He keeps showing me the opposite off my thoughts. Goddess is probably trying to teach me a lesson. And I better pay attention…’

Walking in at Mimi’s, the place is indeed packed. I look around trying to spot formiliar face’s, but I didn’t see anybody we know personally. Robbie walked straight up to us.

“Goodmorning, you two, glad to see you again. You called yesterday, and I have saved y'all a nice spot.”, Robbie winked at us. “So follow me.” He turned and we walked along with him. 

Mimi’s is styled like you are in Spain. It is a family company and the late owner his family, they were illegal immigrants. Quite a family story, since his parents and grandparents used to be living in fear constantly. Alejandro Gomez, was the only one with an American citizenship and when was 25, he had earned enough money to open Mimi’s. It took him a couple of years to get steady. They barely had enough income to keep everything standing. He needed more financial stability, if he wanted to apply for citizenship for his entire family at once. He started to add little Spanish dishes on the menu, he didn’t really had much hope for it, but to his surprise this was his way to succes. His grandfather then gave him the family recipes, which Alejandro mastered himself, in teaching by his grandfather. As his grandfather thought, customers really enjoyed eating simple, but good quality food. Ever since they changed their company, and started to also serve breakfast and lunch. The new owners are the son and daughter of Mr. Gomez. They are doing a great job of keeping their family legacy high. First people were kind of skeptical about them taking over, they thought it would weaken the taste of the food, but he seems to train them in excellence.

The most famous thing people come for is their paella and tortilla de patatas, the last one is served all day. And that is exactly, what I am ordering next to my omelet, which is their best breakfast serving. That’s if you ask me. I told you already don’t judge me, I love food, plus Jay told me to have a solid breakfast right. *big smile*

Robbie stopped at the table and gave us the menu after we sat down, even when he knew that wasn’t really needed. Jay and I both chuckle, when he realized that.

“Don’t mind me. So, what will it be for you today, kids?”

Jay looks at me and getting his cue, I tease Robbie a bit by opening my menu and act like I am undecided. Robbie found it humorous apparently , because he started to chuckle out loud. I always known that he had great sense of humor.

“I would like to have an omelet, with cheese and veggies only please. Also I would like to have a small tortilla de patatas, no meat either. A bowl of fruit and for a drink, I would love to have some O’j.”

“Good choice, Jenni.”, Robbie is adding my order on his electronic notebook.

Jay also orders an omelet with a chapata (bread), which is comparable with an Italian chiabatta. His omelet got the full package, and a medium tortilla de patatas, of course he also stuffed that with all I avoid to eat. Did he really just ordered coffee? ‘Yuck, I still have to kiss him’. *roll eye*

“You two couldn’t be more opposite in your choice of food,” Robbie says smiling. “By the way, congratulations with graduating, drinks are on the house. We will get your breakfast ready.”

“Thanks, Robbie.”, we both said with gratitude for his kind gesture. He nodded and walked to the counter and kitchen area. 

“Someone listened to me,”, Jay almost whispers. My body instantly reacted on his voice. We are sitting side by side in our booth, making it difficult to cover the way my body is craving for him, even just by the tone of his voice.

‘Why didn’t he just sat across from me?’, I try to get a little more space between us, by moving myself to face him.

“Well, you told me to have a solid breakfast, didn’t you?”, I crook my head lighty to my right shoulder and lift my left eyebrow.

“You're already playing games?”, Jay lays his hand just above my bare knee, and moved his upper body towards me, “We’re just at breakfast, baby. Would you please behave yourself? We got plenty of time to kill.”, he whispers lecherous in my ear. I cleared my throat a bit, trying to respond back to him, but he pulled himself back quickly.

As I didn’t know what to say, I just smiled and nodded. Still curious if he could break and tell me something I decided to keep my bratty attitude going.

“So you’re really not going to tell me where we’re going?”, I pouted my lips again. Jay just smirks back at me. “Nope,” he said rolling the p. “Not even a little hint?”, but pulling out my extra card by winking my eye lashes cute at him, has his lips sealed. Sighing out my frustration out him not breaking, formed a smirk on his face. ‘Jerk.’

It didn’t take long for our breakfast was served. I was craving for my food and digged right in. Jay had the same thought as me, and we more focused on eating, than that we had our conversation flowing. Not that it felt awkward, but it did had a new feeling. I can’t place it.

******

We left Mimi’s almost 2 hours ago. First we went to the supermarket and bought all of our favorite snacks, food and drinks. He even had an ice box in the car, so we could have ice cream later.

I know for sure by now, Jay is driving up to the mountains. His parents own a nice cottage up there. It is big enough for an entire family, including the next generation. Not that they brag about it, nor is their taste in architecture and style. The view is even more amazing, from the patio you watch over a lake, which is about 15 minutes walking down. I am excited that he is taking me there. His parents obviously know about this, I guess anyway. We should reach the place in about another hour.

“So, you are taking me to the cabin?”, I ask Jay sweetly.

“Jenn, can you stop trying? Can you just enjoy our time? Why do you always want to know everything?”, Jay was focusing on the road, while he said that. “Well, it is kind of obvious, don’t you agree, by now?”

“Then why would you ask?”, he sighed laughing and pressed in the gass some more. “We will stay for the weekend.”

I could feel my eyebrows lift and I frowned my face questioning, my heart started to beat fast. I didn’t have any clean clothes, neither did Jay. What does he mean we will be staying all weekend?

“I took care of everything. No worries, relax Princess.”, he rubs my leg softly, immediately making me want of his touch. He places his hand on my leg and keep on driving, till we got to the exit from the highway.

I decided to text the girls in our group app and sent them a picture of Jay and I, making funny faces. I upload the picture on my Snap, included the BFF caption. When we approached the forest, I rolled my window down. Every season has its beauty up here. Today it is warm, but the air is fresh and cool. Jay ride up the mountain as if it was nothing, and as soon as he stops the car, I jump out the car. Jay yelled at me.

“After so many hours, you only stopped once. Let me stretch.”, I snap at him.

He growled something, but I couldn’t hear it because the car door fell back in its lock. Jay steps out of the car and started to unpack the car, thats when I saw he had brought our bags.

I helped him carry our belongings in the house. He placed everything down, walked straight to the bedroom with our bags, I placed our groceries in place. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, cooking island with a six pit stove, a grill and two ovens. The cabin has 5 bedrooms, it has 2 master bedrooms. The other three bedrooms are big enough to keep a party, all have their own bathroom and the masters include a toilet.

“Luckily, we are early enough. We still have some time alone”, I hear Jay say with a deep voice of lust behind me.

‘Huh, what does he mean by we still have some time alone?’, I turn around, wanting to get an explanation and I see Jay is only wearing his boxer. By the look on his perfect chocolate skin, right away I sucked in my lower lip and moan lightly. I can see his d**k throbbed by my reaction, that made me moan again.

“Yes, Jenni, I was going to wait till tonight, but I can’t.”, Jay slowly walks over to me. He is hovering over me. I feel so small. He lifts me up and my legs find their way over his hips, tighting my thighs around his waist, just above his core. Locking my legs behind his back.

“Girl, you need to quit playing.””

Jay kissed me sensually, full of passion and devotion. I can feel my juices beginning to leak, just because of his kiss. I moan and my lips leave a gasp, Jay gently pushes his tongue in my mouth. By that time my mind and body is going crazy. I need him, and I need him now. I will ask him later what he meant, by alone for now…
