Arriving back at the beachhouse, Jax unlocks the door and walks in, Skye following close behind. She sits down on the sofa, glancing over at Jax as he takes out a pitcher of ice water from the refigerator. He pours two glasses and joins her on the sofa.
"So, whats the plan for tonight?" she asks him. He finishes his water and sets the glass down. Skye reaches over to wipe the trickle of water from his chin. He feels warm from her touch and cant stop himself from kissing her. She kisses him back.
"This is becoming a habit with us," Jax jokes. "I cant stop kissing you."
"Gee, what a shame," Skye says, kissing him again. "This is one habit I DONT want to break."
"Me either," he says, grinning at her. "Its one of my favorite things to do." He finally pulls away and pulls her up from the sofa. She looks over at him quizically. "If were going out tonight, you have to get ready, " he explains.
"And just WHERE are we going?" she asks. He shrugs and points to the bedroom.
"Your dress is in there," he tells her. She hurries over and takes the dress from the closet. She gasps with joy.
"Jax, this is BEAUTIFUL," she says, looking at the dress in awe. It is a floor-length, deep teal satin gown. The v-neck neckline is outlined with small teal sequins. Jax smiles.
"It will look gorgeous on you," he says, backing out of the room so she can change. Skye slips on the dress and silver shoes. She brushes out her long red hair and pulls it up into a french twist, holding it in place with a sparkling silver hair comb. She quickly puts on her makeup (also included in the gift from Jax) and opens the door. Jax is already dressed in a tux, waiting for her in the living room.
His breath catches in his throat as Skye walks out. He stares, unable to comprehend how gorgeous she looks. She walks slowly over to him. He hands her a corsage of fresh flowers and puts it on her. She sighs with content and hugs him.
"Here we go again," he jokes, giving her a kiss. She laughs softly, stepping back to look at him. "Ready to go?" he asks her. She nods and they walk outside. "Your limo awaits," he says, leading her to the waiting limosine. They slide in the back. When they get out, Skye realizes they are in the heart of Atlantic City, amongst all the casinos. She laughs with delight as she takes Jaxs hand and pulls him out. Hand-in-hand they walk up to the casino entrance, the light sea breeze blowing around them.
As they walk inside, Skye feels her heart leap. She just cannot believe how wonderful Jax is. She leans over and whispers this to him in his ear. The feel of her breath so close to him makes him shiver. He grins at her, slipping his arm around her waist.
"Shall we go?" he asks her, indicating the pathway in front of them.
"Most definitely," she agrees. They walk on ahead, each wondering what the night will bring.
