Well the website had been right; this was a wonderful date idea and a lot of fun! It made her nervous sometimes because she wasn’t exactly witty and yet wanted to make Jack laugh with her lines.
“O-Oh! This song!” she cried softly as Sandra Dee began, Katelynn standing up to act out Rizzo’s lines as she really got into character even though she had been playing Sandy not to long ago when they sang Summer Nights together.
“Look at me I’m Sandra Dee
Lousy with virginity~
Won’t go to bed until I’m legally wed
I can’t I’m Sandra Dee~”Throughout the song she was moving her hips and acting just like the woman in the movie though it made her blush terribly at times for several reasons.
“Watch it! Hey I’m Doris Day
I was not brought up that way
Won’t come across,
Even Rock Hudson lost
His heart to Doris DayI don’t drink or swear
I don’t rat my hair
I get ill from one cigarette
Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers”By this point she was blushing so bad she sat back down, her face so red you could cook an egg on it. “Obviously the character..not me that was suggesting it.”
Poor Jack was doubled over, laughing so much that tears were leaking from his eyes. He tried desperately to recover his voice, panting and gasping as he talked. “D-don’t worry, I kn-kn-know that.” He reached out for Katelynn, wanting to reassure her that he wasn’t laughing at her.
Finally, with Katelynn beside him on the couch again, he managed to calm down. “You’re good at this.” His arm slid around her waist, and a hot blush appeared in his own cheeks. “… M-maybe this makes me sound like a pig, but I’m glad we didn’t wait until we were wed.” He hugged her a little, still nervous to be talking about this. “I mean, I w-would have waited as long as you needed. I mean it. I already loved you so much back then. But, well …” Oh, he couldn’t put it into words.
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.
