JACK AND ROSE: TOGETHER FOREVER
Chapter Nine
"It was a cold and story night. Farmer
Bill's twenty-year-old son, Jake, was coming home from a social event when he
spotted something by the side of the road. It appeared to be a teen-age girl so
Jake slowed down his carriage to talk to her." Jack began. Rose scooted
over by him and sat in his lap. Jack put his arms around her and started his
story again.
"Jake started talking to the girl and
offered to drive her home. The girl agreed and climbed into the carriage. The
girl told Jake her address and he started off. On the way the two people talked
about the town and the people in the town. But the girl wanted to know who had
died recently. Jake thought this was odd, but old her anyway. When they got to
the girl's house, Jake got out to help the girl down but when he got over to
her side she was not there. Jake looked around, but saw no one. He sat there
confused for a moment before deciding to walk up to the girl's house. When he
got to the door he rang the doorbell and a nice looking lady about his mothers
age was there.
'Ma'am, I caught up with your daughter on the
road and brought her hear in my carriage. But when I went to help her down she
was gone. I looked around but I can't find her.' Jake finished. The lady looked
at him for a minute before saying.
'What kind of a joke is this. My only
daughter has been dead for five years. Why don't you go home and bug our own
parents.' And than she slammed the door in this face. Jake sat there stunned
and scared for a few minutes before knocking on the door again.
'I am sorry to bother you, but what was your
daughter's name?' the lady closed her eyes and than said.
'Jean McLangton' and than closed the door
again. Jake raced back to his carriage and drove it to the symmetry. When he
got there he searched until he found the stone he was looking for.
Jean McLangton
April 15 1872- May 16-1892
Died from a barn fire
We will miss her always
Jake turned to run but was stopped by
something. It was Jean. 'Why didn't you tell me?' he asked, but Jean just
pointed to another stone. Jake ran over and read it.
Jake Cooper
March 7-1873-June 15-1982
Was murdered on his way back from a party
My he rest in peace.
Jake turned back around and saw that Jean
held a gun. Jake screamed and that was the last thing he ever did. The
End" Jack finished telling his story and looked at Rose.
"Are you scared?" He asked.
"A little. I have heard worse." She
told him.
"Rose get up." Rose got off Jack
and he went to tend to the fire. Than he laid back down. Rose snuggled back up
by him.
"Truth, dare, double dare, or promise to
repeat?" Rose asked him trying to get him to play truth or dare.
"Truth." Jack answered.
"OK. Jack who was the first person you
ever kissed and when was it?" Rose asked looking up at the ceiling.
Jack blushed at this question but said.
"Kathleen McDermott. 7th grade. We went out for a few mounts than broke
up, I hadn't kissed anyone until I met you."
Rose looked at Jack, she couldn't believe
that her handsome, cute Jack had only kissed two different women in his life.
"Rose. Truth, dare, and so on."
Jack asked bringing Rose back to earth.
"Um, dare." Rose told him. She had
always liked doing these.
"OK Rose. You have to drink two whole
glasses of wine in 30 seconds." Jack told her.
"OK." Rose said blowing some hair
out of her face. Jack filled up Rose's and his own glasses with wine and gave
them to Rose. Than he looked at the clock with the second hand.
"OK…go." Jack told her. Rose gulped
down one glass and than another.
"OK done." Rose said putting her
glasses down.
"Wow! That was fast, 25 seconds."
Rose's sapphire blue eyes sparkled and she smiled.
"OK now I want a dare. They look like
fun." Jack told her. Rose thought for a minute and than told him.
"I dare you to go outside and run around
for five minutes." Jack looked at her and gave Rose a look.
"OK. I'll do it, but only if you come
with me." Jack told her grabbing her hand and pulling her up from the
floor.
"No Jack. It's your dare."
"Alright but its your choice." Jack
yelled as he ran outside. Rose watched him threw the window than moved to the
porch.
"Come on Rose! Its fun!" Jack
yelled.
"Jack its pouring out!" Rose told
him.
"Come on!" Jack yelled again. Rose
looked around and than ran out to meet Jack. They ran around the beach together
until they were soaked.
"Jack this is crazy we are out here in
are night clothes running around in the rain."
"So it's fun." Jack yelled back at
her. Suddenly Jack ran and jumped in the ocean. Rose screamed and followed
Jack. Jack picked her up and gave her a piggyback ride, than dumped her in the
ocean and dived in after her. They both came up laughing.
"Jack we better go inside. If we don't
we are going to catch cold and your five minutes are up." Jack looked down
at his clothes and agreed. They walked back to the cabin together hand in hand.
When they got inside, Jack put on clothes similar to what he was wearing but
dry. And Rose put on some clothes of Jacks, all her nightgowns were dirty or
wet. They walked back out to the living room and sat down again, Rose in Jacks
lap.
"Jack lets have a secret session."
Rose told him as soon as they were settled. Jack gave her a wired look so Rose
said. "It's where we go around and tell a secret. Its more fun with a lot
of people, but we don't know each other as well as I would like so I think I
would be fun."
"OK" Jack said.
"I'll go first. I have never French
kissed anyone till you Jack." Rose said blushing.
"Me ether." Jack told her.
"Now its your turn Jack."
"Well, I like to wake up early each
morning and watch you sleep, but sometimes I fall back asleep. That is why I am
always up last. Your turn." Jack told Rose.
"Well I got my period when I was 11.
That's kind of early." Now even Jack blushed at this remark.
"Well the time in the Renault was my
first." Jack told her still blushing.
Rose looked and him and whispered "Me
too." And than she kissed him. When the kiss ended Rose looked at the
clock. It was 12:30. "Oh my, Jack if we are going house shopping tomorrow
we better get to sleep." Jack too looked at the clock.
"Ya I guess you are right." Rose
climbed off Jack and got under the blanket. Jack put a log on the fire and than
got in next to Rose. Rose rolled over and cuddled up next to Jack.
"Goodnight my darling Jack." Rose
whispered closing her eyes.
"Goodnight honey." Jack told her.
Jack kissed her head and closed his eyes, drifting off into a dream land filled
with only him and Rose.
