Me too! Amazing story Rosa, can't wait for more.

Don't think so, cos if it is, I'm headed for detention!!

Allie, Allie, Allie, 3RD MR RIGHT???? Tut tut tut!! Jack and Sue were so sweet!!! Jack, I think you're totally right. Maybe he can use all his bigshot contacts to RECRUIT Sue into a job that she will lke. Maybe like a past Private Investigator for his firm??

Just rambling on as always!!

Sorry Rosa!! Have a great time, and I'll be here when you come back!!!

And I am thankful that Allie never snared Jack as one of those three Mr. Rights!

Thanks for feedback. I apologise but life is busy and demanding this week and I will not be able to update until Friday.

In his arms she felt as though she could achieve anything, his stare was intoxicating as if she was the only woman at the wedding, his eyes seemed darker than she remembered but then she hadn’t really stared into them before. They captivated her attention and she couldn’t tear her gaze away as he made her feel like the most beautiful woman there. They spent a long time on the dance floor, holding Sue in his arms felt so right, as if she had been the one he had been searching for all along.

He had insisted he walk her home and she amazed herself when she had let him. Aunt Mary was on her summer vacation and would not be peering out the window to see what time her niece came in from the wedding party. Jack walked her right up to the front door, the light was beginning to fade but it was still light enough to see each other on the veranda.

“I’m here for a week, can I see you tomorrow? Maybe you could walk out to the barn or the brook like you did that summer all those years ago?”

“Yes maybe I could” she whispered not trusting herself to speak. The way he was looking at her was turning her insides to jello and she wondered if he would even consider kissing her as she so badly wanted him to.

As if he read her mind he shut his eyes and moved in slowly catching and cupping her face with both of his hands as he brushed his lips across hers in a feather light kiss which ignited the desire in the pits of both of their stomach’s.

She looked a little shock when he focused on her once more “I…I… never I mean you…and I ..I “

“Sssh, its’ okay, I’m not gonna hurt you, let me kiss you”

“I thought you just did” she replied breathless

“Well yes but I want to kiss you again, properly”

“What if I…I mean I don’t know how to….”

“Sssh” he repeated placing a finger over her lips “It’s okay, we’ll take it easy I promise”

She shut her eyes this time as his lips lightly grazed upon hers and the feelings he evoked moments before returned with an intensity that startled even him. His arms folded round her body and held her close and she swore she could feel the steady beat of his heart. His lips enticed hers and he gradually deepened the kiss with exquisite care and she became pliable in his arms, the kiss was slow and luxurious and only when she emitted soft sighs of pleasure did he pull away.

“Jack” she whispered throatily begging him to continue

His self restraint was hanging on by a thread but her kissed her lightly on the mouth and said “The brook, at eleven, tomorrow, don‘t be late”

She nodded ,words failed her as she watched him disappear from sight, then she sagged against the door frame, reeling and revelling from the kiss and his touch and knowing that her life would never be the same……..

Soph

Thank you all for taking the time to read and review (For some reason I can't highlight in blue, I apologise)


Summer 1970 Washington DC

Today was completely different from ten years ago, now she taught two and a half days a week at a local school for the deaf, now had two wonderful children who lit up her life in a way she never thought would be possible. Now she was married to the man who had the faith and belief in her that no one else had, who loved her just for who she was, nothing more nothing less. Who had kept their date by the brook, ten years ago today, which had been a magical and beautiful day to remember and cherish forever. She watched as he parked the car on the driveway and she ran down the steps to meet him

“Jack” she cried opening her arms to hug, hold him close

“Sue” he simply replied, kissing her and then taking her hand walking into their home together.

Who would have thought she could have it all? Who would have known that the secret they shared for so long was so much better out in the open? He did, Jack had known, from the beginning, from the day their relationship had begun to the present day, his love and support of her was like no other she had ever known. It was a secret no longer, everyone they knew, knew and no one held it against her as she so often feared. She was ignorant perhaps of how people did see her, they saw her as a strong woman, with a quiet determination that had shaped and moulded her life to what it was today, she helped people see the best in themselves and how to be true to themselves as she had learnt to be for herself with the love and help of Jack.

The End

a wonderful ending but over too soon

i really loved it rosa. to bad it ended already.

Beautiful story, Rosa.

kav

Fantastic story Rosa, just sorry it has ended so soon.

Terie

*sign* *contented sigh* *deep contented sigh*

that was lovely excellent and wonderful

and

Perfect Rosa!!! I loved it!!! Sequel??

Jen

rosa,

how about writing the expanded version of this story?

i love the expressive, take charge jack in this story!

Loved it - I know you were limited on the amount of time and words for this story - is it possible to persaude you to write a sequal in the WIP section which covers the meeting between Jack and Sue at the brook - which lead to them getting married. I would love to see how Jack made his feelings known to Sue and how he convinced her to let everyone know that she was deaf.

Yours hopefully

Rosa, I just read your story in one sitting, and it is a beautiful love story from start to finish!! I love your Jack in this story, more take charge where Sue is concerned, but our Jack nonetheless, totally in character!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Joy

Rosa, beautifully told story. I loved the tenderness you conveyed.

Beautiful story, Rosa!

Rosa this was fabuliscious Bringing us through the 10 yr intervals worked great for a limited story.

I thought I was going to be waiting down at the brook at 11 am for a decade but fortunately cyber space brought me up to speed quickly.

Wish it could have been longer but loved what you gave us!

Wowwhat a fantastic story. One of your best.

Rosa that was amazing....I liked the progression of their relationship every 10 years. Very nicely done.

A wonderful story, Rosa!
Thanks for sharing!
