Chapter 8 lunch date

JESS POV

I stir in bed, I had a good night sleep. I look at my phone which I kept under the pillow. It's 7:30am. I've been here just over a day now. And it seems like a lifetime ago since my life seemed normal. I still can't believe I'm in this big mansion full of werewolves. But they seem to be pretty real and really nice. I suppose two weeks here won't be so bad. I'm still not sure if I can accept, I'm apparently Jack's mate. Even though I do seem to find him really hot and attractive. I'm just not ready to accept he is apparently my soul mate. I decide to get up and take a quick shower. Once I'm out of the shower. I decide to put on some blue jeans with a pink t-shirt and a black cardigan. I then quickly put my hair up into a ponytail, before brushing my teeth. Likewise, I then check the time again, and it's 8:15am.

Since I'm here for two weeks I decide to quickly call the office and get the time off work, after all the sooner I inform them the sooner they can find cover for my rounds when I'm rotated in.

Ring ring ring ring ring ring

"Hey Susan speaking how can I help?" I hear Susan says.

"Hey Susan it's Jess I know it's short notice, and I'm really sorry to do this to you, but something happened, and I need some personal time off. Could I take two weeks leave please" I say?

"Are you okay Jess this is really unlike you?" I hear Susan say with concern.

"Yes, I know I'm sorry I can't explain right now, but I'd appreciate it if you could approve this" I say.

"It's fine it's not like you, so I will sort it. But if you need anything just let me know okay?" Susan says.

"Thank you Susan I really appreciate it and I promise I will explain everything when I'm back" I say.

"Okay then take care and remember if you need anything just let me know" Susan says.

"Thanks Susan I will speak to you soon" I say.

"Okay take care Jess. Bye" Susan say.

"Bye Susan" I say, and I cut the call off.

I then quickly text my mum.

Hey mum I've decided to go off for a 2-week holiday I know it's short notice, but I suddenly had an urge to just do something wild and have a break. I will give you a call in a few days love you xxx

I put my phone in my pocket and decide to go knock on Jack's door as I don't want to go down and just help myself to a cup of tea, but I could really do with one.

JACK'S POV

I'm just getting out of the shower when I hear KNOCK KNOCK

I can smell the rose scent and I swear it could become addictive. I quickly wrap a towel around my lower body and go answer the door.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry for disturbing you" says Jess looking embarrassed.

"It's fine sweetheart. I was going to come see if you were ready for breakfast once I was dressed anyway" I say while smiling at how cute Jess looks when she is embarrassed.

"Oh I was just seeing if you were up and wanted to come with me, so I could get a cup of tea" Jess says.

"Okay give me a few minutes and I will come with you" I reply.

Okay I will wait in my room.

"Okay then sweetheart I will come get you in a minute" I say as I watch Jess go back to her room.

I'm really surprised she came knocked my door it's got to be progress she came looking for me right.

I quickly get dressed and put on some black trousers with a white shirt. Then I head over to Jess room. I knock on the door and Jess quickly answers.

"Ready, sweetheart" I say

"Yes I'm ready" says Jess while smiling.

"Let's go get going to the kitchen then" I say while take her hand in mine, and we walk to the lift.

"Did you sleep well?" I ask Jess making conversation.

"Yes I did the bed is so comfortable" Jess say.

PING

Jess quickly checks her phone and starts typing. While we are wait for the lift.

"Sorry about that was just my mum messaging me" says Jess.

"It's fine honestly, so what would you like for breakfast?" I ask, Just as the lift doors open. I bring us into the lift and press the first floor.

"What are you having for breakfast Jess" asks me.

"I'm feeling bacon sandwiches" I say.

"That sounds good I will have one to please, if that's okay" Jess says.

"Of course it's alright, in that case bacon sandwiches it is" I say smiling.

We are soon in the kitchen and breakfast is in front of us.

In walks Eddie and Vic saying morning to us.

"Hey Jack how do you fancy a camp fire with a BBQ tonight?" Asks Eddie.

I look at Jess and ask "what would you like to DO?"

"That sounds fun to me" Jess says looking excited.

"Great, I will tell Annie to come with Chad" Vic says.

"Sounds like a good plan to me" I say.

PING

Jess checks her phone again.

"Sorry it's just my mum again wishing me a fun holiday" Jess says.

"Holiday?" I ask confused.

"Yes, I figured since I'm here for two weeks I should get out of work and make sure my mum doesn't worry when I don't show up every few days" Jess says.

"Oh I see. Did you get out of work?" I asked.

"Yes I rang them before I saw you this morning" she says.

"Okay then sweetheart" I say.

I should have thought of that but when I was begging for two weeks just to give me a chance I Only thought of myself and not the fact Jess has a life away from me. I'm grateful she thought about it and is keeping her end of the deal though, even if I feel guilty that Summer has had to lie to her mum about a fake holiday.

"So if you were on Holiday where would you go" asks Eddie

"Somewhere with a beach" Jess says while thinking about it.

"You like the beach?" I ask.

Jess looks at me and says "yes when I'm feeling stressed or upset I take myself off to a nice sandy beach. I Allow the sand between my toes while I look out across the sea it just relieves my stress, it's so calming. Although talking of which why do you smell like a sandy beach?" Jess says looking puzzled by it.

" Do I really?" I ask.

"Yes why is that" she asks again like she really wants to know the answer.

"Well we all have our own scents, seems like my scent will come in handy" I say before I Jess a cheeky wink.

"Hmm maybe" she says which causes Eddie and Vic to chuckle.

JESS POV

The morning went by really fast. Jack gave me the grand tour of the mansion its super impressive. He sure is one lucky guy. Jack even managed to make me laugh a few times. He seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready to accept this mate thing he talks about. I wasn't even looking for a relationship before. However, I can't deny I do find him attractive his smile always makes me weak at the knees. And he is always so nice. Before I know it we are making our way to the garden for the picnic date. As we exit the mansion there's a massive patio set in front of us. Loads of table and chairs. Then there's a large green area with a huge beauty of a fountain in the middle. At the back is loads of smaller pack houses, that's what I've been told they are however I see them just as simple houses. Kind like a little village hidden by a huge mansion. But it's all still impressively big. Behind them jack said is training grounds for the werewolves. But I can just see the trees that's surround it all. It's definitely a lovely place for sure.

Jack takes my hand again, he keeps doing this, and it always sends them tingling sparks up my arm and through my body. I'm starting to get use to it now it's no longer such a shock.

"Come on this way" says Jack looking super excited like a child getting there favourite toy on Christmas morning.

He leads me just behind the fountain where there are candles laid out around a huge blanket. There's a basket in the middle with the food and drink in I assume. It looks amazing, I'm actually impressed with the added touch of candles.

We sit down and Jack says "are you hungry?".

"Not starving, but I could eat something" I say.

He opens the basket revealing sandwiches, pork pies, cocktail sausages, Scottish eggs, chips, cakes oh the cakes look yummy chocolate chip, strawberries, apples, grapes, a bottle of champagne, some orange juice and apple juice. And some cups and plates

"It all looks good except for the champagne" I say.

"You don't like champagne?" Jack asks.

"No it's not my kinda drink I'm more spirits or fruity drinks. I don't like wines and champagnes" I say honestly.

"I shall make sure to remember that" Jack's says.

"What about the apple or orange juice? Do you like them?" Jack asks.

"Yeah I like both of them" I say.

"Phew, I don't have to run back and grab some tea" he says while pretending to wipe imaginary sweat of his forehead, with that cheek smile on his face.

"I do like my tea I say, but the juices are fine, so save your legs" I say

"I'm not worried about my legs, I'm just happy I get to stay by your side for a while" say Jack.

We eat some food and I drink some apple juice.

"I have to admit for a date it's pretty impressive" I say.

"I'm glad you like it, I just want to make you happy" says Jack.

"How long have you been an alpha for?" I ask?

"For 6 years I took over the pack when I was 18 years old, my father felt like I was ready. Honestly I love it and take the role very seriously to" Jack says.

"Is it hard work being an alpha?" I ask curiously.

"Sometimes yes it can be but most of the time it isn't, you don't worry about that there's plenty of time to learn about everything when your ready" he says.

"Okay, then" I reply.

"What about you how long have you been a carer" asks Jack.

"Well 3 years doesn't seem that long though. Before that I studied health and social care at college for 3 years as well. There's a lot more to it than people actually think there is" I say.

"I'm sure there is a lot to it" says Jack.

I can feel my legs are starting to get numb, so I decide to try to stand up to wake my legs up a little. But instead I lose my balance before I'm even stood up. Next thing I know Jack has grabbed me in his arms asking if "I'm okay".

"Sorry my legs are a bit numb" I say feeling embarrassed!

"It's l alright I much prefer you in my arms anyway" he says.

"Is that so?" I ask. What a stupid thing to say u think after the words left my lips.

And before I know it Jack is kissing me OMG it feels so right that I lose my sense for a moment, and I'm kissing him back. I suddenly come back to my senses and pull away I look down at my hands, while saying "sorry".

He lifts my face with his hands to look get me to look him in the face.

"Sweetheart don't ever be sorry for kissing me back, kiss me all you want, But I'm sorry I couldn't resist I've wanted to kiss you since the moment I laid my eyes on you" Jack says.

I don't know what to say I just look at Jack like a lost little child. God, when did I become like this acting like a fool over a bloke, then again is he a bloke or wolf he is both. God stop thinking I scold myself mentally.

"Hey its alright, How about a movie where the seats are more comfortable" he says distracting me from my thoughts.

"Alright then" then I say, and before I know he stands up with me in his arms.

"I can walk you know" I say.

"I know, but I can't risk you falling again with numb legs, so I will just carry you" he says.

I decide I won't argue and just rest my head against his chest, at least this way I can't make a fool of myself again by falling I think to myself.

We soon in the cinema room, were we decide to watch fast and furious.
