Clinging to the front of his princely attire, Katelynn hid her face against his chest as he confessed that, hoping to hide away from the ridiculous amount of blushing she had done tonight. If he wasn’t careful she might faint from it.
“It doesn’t make you sound like a pig, love. If anything..I think I pretty much seduced you that first time and sometimes it made me guilty, like I should have waited longer. But that night was just so magical and you were so romantic and cute..No one had ever loved me like this before and I just..knew you were the perfect one because you stayed by my side at the hospital when no one else did. And you’ve only continued proving I made the right choice. So I guess waiting wouldn’t have mattered because of our desire to be together, right?”
She peeked up from his chest, smiling up at him and resting her chin there. “Still amazes me sometimes that you’re real and you loved me so fast..but waiting until after marriage seems rather antiquated now?”
Suddenly having an idea, she leaned up to whisper, “If you want, we can pretend tonight is the first time for both of us, maybe I’m Princess Katelynn and you’re the handsome Prince Jackson who rescues her and whisks her away to castle and takes her virginity?”
It was rather embarrassing to suggest but it could also be fun. They could even build a fort out of pillows to complete the stage. She ducked away from his eyes rather sheepishly.
He cradled her close against him, hugging her as she rested her head against his chest. Even if it might mess up their outfits, oh, he needed so badly to hold her after what she’d just said.
“Please, Katelynn, don’t feel guilty about it.” Jack nuzzled his cheek against her hair. “Never, ever feel guilty about it. What happened that night … it was so wonderful. I still think about it. N-not just because it was my first time, but because it was my first time with you.” He smiled softly. “If you seduced me, I was happy to be seduced.”
His blue fingers combed gently through her sandy-brown hair. “We were meant for each other. Wh-when you love someone, when you want them, and you’re both sure of it … what’s the point of waiting? Real love happens so rarely. I never thought I’d find …” Jack realized he was rambling, so he stopped himself and simply hugged Katelynn tighter, letting his touch say all the things he couldn’t express in words.
And then he heard her idea. His eyes widened, and his cheeks turned purple again. Gulping, he managed to answer, “Uh … y-yes, we could do that. I’d like that. I’d like that very much.” He kissed her forehead. “You deserve your special night, Princess Katelynn. Your prince will see that you have it.”
Thinking about it, though, was going to make it hard for Jack to pay attention to the rest of movie.
Snuggling against him, she couldn’t believe she had been bold enough to suggest something like that but at least he liked the idea. She took comfort in that. But just like him now she was distracted by other thoughts, fantasies and such running through her mind that she had forgotten they were replacing dialogue in the movie. Her fingers were busy playing with the buttons of his princely coat as she bit down on her lip.
And then suggested changing her look for a guy just so she could fit in with his friends and they wouldn’t tease him about dating a goody goody.
“Poor Sandy gave in to peer pressure it seems..if Danny really loved her he would have loved her the way she was, for who she was. Just like I did with you.” She looked up at him and smiled.
“I know.” Jack let out a low, unhappy sigh as he watched the made-over Sandy, with her new, aggressively sexual look and attitude that, to him, seemed fake and forced. “I remember hating this part of the movie the first time I watched it. And I didn’t understand it. He did like her, when they were together at the beginning."
He smiled back at her. "And, I admit, I liked the old Sandy a lot more. Looking back now … she reminds me a lot of you, Katelynn. In a good way,” he added quickly.
