Chapter 27

The movie played for about an hour and an hour, and I loved every minute of it. It was an olden day romance film called My Man Godfrey. It was one of those old black and white ones and it was pretty good. It wasn't a silent movie like they originally advertised. As the tape for that film got damaged but I really enjoyed the alternative movie they selected.

My favourite part of the whole movie though was since Jake brought us here in this Ute. We sat at the back in a pile of blankets and in other words cuddled the whole time. Resting my head on his shoulder allowed me to hear his steady heartbeat. The sound was comforting and relaxed me to my core.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see all of the movie, since fortunately we spent much of the time talking to each other about ourselves. Things we didn't know and what has changed over the years. And it wasn't depressing talking about how poorly I had to raise Jennifer up like and it wasn't depressing talking about how Jake got pestered from the council to choose a Luna for his pack. We understood each other and there was no pity or shame. It was like it all was in the past and for once I liked it.

When the script started to roll, I turned to face him to see he was smiling down at me. I smiled back and he chuckled.

"Ready to go get some food?"

He asked and I blushed when at the exact moment my tummy choose to rumble. Jake chuckled deeply with a smirk.

"I see your stomach agrees with me shall we get going?"

He asks and I nod hiding my blush as he helps me get down off the back of the Ute and I hop into the passenger seat once again.

"So, is it a surprise or can you tell me where we are going for dinner?"

I asked cheekily hoping he'd tell me, I really disliked secrets. He smirked reversing the car out of the parking lot, correction field and drove onto the road.

"Would MacDonald's be to your satisfaction malady?"

He asked in a horribly fake British accents which make me burst out into laughter.

"Yes, it shall be sir, carry on"

I replied mirroring his accent and he smiled as he looked back to the road. Minutes later we parked the Ute in the car park and we opened my door for me helping me get out. I thanked him and we went inside. He went up to the counter and started speaking to the lady up front. I couldn't hear what they were saying from this distance but he quickly returned with a smile on his face.

"This way to our reservations"

He said and I borrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"How do you get reservations at MacDonald's?"

I ask and he grins to himself, which was kind of creepy to be honest.

"I booked the party room, no questions asked"

He said and I chuckled following him into the private room with birthday balloons decorating the walls.

After ordering our meals we started to chat just like we did during the movie. Except this time, it was about more lighter topics. I learned that his favourite colour is green and he loves all of the fast and furious movies. Which I also happen to like quite a bit. He's a dog person, (of course) and he hates grapes. Which was a random thing to find out but he does really hate grapes, raisins too.

Once we both finished digesting the Big Mac, we both devoured and trying out some of the many deserts MacDonald's has to offer, Jake turned to me.

"Ready to go home?"

He asked and I smiled. I liked the way he said home, I guess the pack house was my home now. It was my home a long time ago and now I'm back.

"Hell yeah!"

I said enthusiastically and he chuckled helping me stand up out of my chair. Which was unnecessary as I can stand up by myself, but I let him do it anyway. Apparently, this was a perfect moment for me to be a klutz and I stumbled into him. He quickly grabbed my waist steadying me. I blushed realizing I was flushed right up against his chest. He smirked catching my blush.

"Can I kiss you?"

He asked looking down at me with his dark eyes, filled with emotions. Love was a common factor and it made me melt. Not being able to trust myself to form words properly I nodded and he smiled happily. He leaned in and I closed my eyes preparing myself for impact.

At first it was light and soft, like it was barely there as it moved against my lips. The kiss got more passionate as our tongues fought for dominance. The warmth from the kiss caused my toes to curl in pleasure. The kiss was mind blow, amazing and I never think I'll ever have enough of it.

But when the kiss broke, I wasn't sad, I was happy it happened in the first place. He smiled down at me, as if I just made all his dreams come true.

"Time to go home or are we going to kiss some more?"

I asked cheekily causing him to let out a laugh, it was one of those big pot belly laughs that you could see their whole body moving because of it.

"Of course, I'd love to have you all to myself?"

He said with a smirk and I giggled hitting him softly in the arm which only got him amused.

"What will you do when you have me all to myself?"

I asked and I know I was practically teasing him. Literally asking him for it and oddly I was ready for his reply.

"Maybe you can finally become mine, the way you were supposed to be all those years ago?"

He whispered in a broken voice and I could honestly tell he regretted not being able to do it the way it was supposed to be done. The beautiful way the mating bond was supposed to work, the evil little thing has already caused both of us extreme pain and maybe for once it'll make us happy?

"That sounds like a plan"

I replied in a whisper and he smiled down at me in disbelief and joy. I could tell he was just as happy as I was about the idea, hell maybe even more.

"Let's get going, shall we?"

He said in a seductive tone and I giggled swatting his chest before allowing him to steer me to his truck. Once we were buckled in, we drove off and honestly, I have never been more excited and more nervous in my entire live...
