Chapter 15
“Jamie, I don’t know if I told you, but I’m really glad you decided to come with me this weekend,” Jeff said as Jamie rested her head on his bare chest later that night.
“I’m really glad I did too Jeff,” Jamie said softly as Jeff stroked her hair and she listened to the steady sound of his heart beating.
The 2 lay in a silent mix of serenity and love, as the darkness danced around them. The only sound in the room was the murmured sounds of their beating hearts and their soft breathing.
“This is what I’ve always wanted,” Jamie whispered, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, “just to be able to lie in someone’s arms and feel so safe.”
Jeff smiled as she said that, but didn’t say anything as he continued to stroke Jamie’s blonde hair lovingly.
“Can I ask you something?” Jamie asked, lifting her head off Jeff’s chest and looking at him.
“Anything,” Jeff said, sitting up and leaning on his arms to support him.
“Would you be willing to meet my dad?” Jamie asked nervously. “I know that the…”
“I’d love to,” Jeff interrupted, surprising Jamie.
“You would?” she asked, shocked.
“Sure,” Jeff replied with a laugh, “You just came with me for a week to meet my friends, the least I can do is meet your father.”
“You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that,” Jamie said happily, throwing herself into his arms. Jeff laughed as he wrapped his arms around her.
“So you won’t mind going to the country club Thursday for brunch?” Jamie asked, once again lying in Jeff’s arms.
“Course not,” Jeff said, pulling her close and lying his head on the pillow and closing his eyes.
“I know he’ll love you,” Jamie said softly, “Just like I do…”
Jeff opened his eyes and looked at Jamie, who was lying on his chest again, her eyes closed and a peaceful smile on her face. Jeff leaned forward, kissing the top of her head, then he also laid his head down and fell asleep.
