Chapter 7: Going to the Lake House ( Part 3 )

( Allies POV )

Jack and I sat on the couch for a while and just talked. we got to know each other a bit better. We talked about the work he does and how he is going to take over the family businesses one day. Jack was an only child just like me. We had so many things in common, like being in nature and loving animals. I told him about the idea I have of opening my own little Giftshop in town. He sounded Excited and looked happy about the news I just gave him. His entire face lit up.

We sat for a bit longer, just holding hands. Jack asked me if I wanted to see the rest of the house. " I would love to see the rest of the house, Please".

He took my hand and led me to the kitchen. You could see the kitchen from the living room because it was an open-plan kitchen. The Kitchen, dining room, and living room were all linked together in one big space. The floors were cement flooring. It's very rustic. Jack took me into the kitchen, and it was very light and open with white farmhouse-style cabinets with matt black handles. I loved the Kitchen.

" Do you cook a lot in this beautiful kitchen? I love the farmhouse style you have going on in here" I ask sliding my hands across the kitchen counter.

" No, I don't cook at all " He crosses his arms, leaning against the counter with his back, studying me.

" Then why do you have such a big kitchen if you do not cook" I raise a brow in confusion.

" When I had the house built, I made sure that they made the big kitchen big enough for my future wife. I want her to cook comfortably. I also made sure that the house had enough bedrooms " He smirked as he said that and his eyes started to brighten.

" What if, the girl you married, didn't like to cook? " I face him to see his reaction.

" Well. I guess then I would hire a cook for us " He pushes away from the counter and steps closer to me. I can see the hidden meaning behind his beautiful hazel eyes. It's like his gesturing that I would be his wife one day. I can't help but wonder if he has brought other girls here to impress them with his big kitchen.

" So, Tell me. How many girls have you brought here to impress them with the kitchen? "

Jack gave me a side-eye and his facial expression changed into a disappointed look. I instantly regretted saying it, but I didn't want to be taken for a fool by thinking that I was the only girl he had brought here.

" Only one! " he grins.

" And, did she like it? " I walk closer towards him.

" I don't know. I haven't asked her yet! " I could see the corner of his mouth raise into a smirk again with some hidden agenda.

" You mean to say, that you haven't brought any other girl here yet " I step even closer toward him and I have to lift my head to look up into his eyes, hoping that I am the only girl he has ever brought here.

" No, I haven't. Like I said. I had this place built for me and my wife one day " He puts his hands on my waist and pulls me up against him.

" Then why did you bring me here, If it's for you and your future wife? " He smiles in some mysterious way and lowers his head to the side of my ear.

" Oooh! My sweet Allie. If only you knew! " His hot breath caresses the side of my neck and sends goosebumps all over my body. All I could think of now was how I wanted to feel his lips touch my neck, but he pulled away, smiled and winked at me in a very mysterious way, like I knew what he was thinking. He took my hand in his and we continued through the house. The whole house was a rustic industrial theme with dark wood and Matt's black walls. In some areas, brown cowhides were laying on the floors as rugs. The hides fitted in so well with the brown leather couches and dark wooden furniture with a black steel framework around the furniture. It had a warm industrial feeling to it with some farmhouse touches. It's nothing like The industrial houses you see in House Magazines, where it's cold concrete floors and everything is black and dark with no colors. Jack's house may have cement floors, but they look beautiful in the way it is decorated.

The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. We already looked at three bedrooms, but they didn't have anything in them, and I didn't ask Jack why. Maybe he was just too busy with work to decorate them. The last bedroom was down the hall and the bedroom door was closed. I think that this might be Jack's bedroom. Jack gestured for me to go in like he did when we entered the house. I opened the door slowly and there came a bright light from inside the bedroom. when I fully opened the door, I was stunned. It was nothing like the rest of the house with cement walls, and Matt black accent walls in some places. The walls were still cement, but a light beige type of color cement. By the big queen size bed's feet, was a big glass door that went outside on a patio with a view of the lake. It was breathtaking. It looked so clean and neat. All the furniture in the room was Bleached wood. The room was so nice and bright with the light that came in from the glass door. On the floor was a big rug that was woven with grass or something. It went all the way from the glass door to under the bed. It complimented the beige cement floors so well. There was a dresser against the wall with a small vanity mirror on it and a vase with fresh eucalyptus leaves in it. There was also a white-scented candle on the dresser. It almost looked like a woman's bedroom.

" You sure that you have never brought another girl here before? " I smirk at him, raising a brow in question.

" Yes, I am sure" He steps into the bedroom behind

"Why do you have a dresser with a little mirror and scented candle on? It's a bit little girlish for a man, don't you think? "

"That is all new. My mother redecorated the whole bedroom after I told them that I met someone special" My eyes widened in shock. He already mentioned me to his parents." You mean to say, that you told you're parents about me before you even knew that we end up together"

" Yes," That was all Jack said. Not giving me an explanation, so I decided to leave it at that.

I continued my way through the bedroom into a huge bathroom with a big window by the bath. the window reached from the ceiling down to the floor and in front of the window was the big oval cement bathtub looking out the window. You could see the lake while you take a bath. in the one Conner of the bathroom, was a big shower. Big enough for two people at once. All the taps in the Bathroom were also Matt black. everything was just beautiful.

As I turned around, Jack was standing at the bathroom door, watching my every move and every expression I made. Almost like he is reading my body language or my mind. He came a bit closer until he was a few inches away from my face and stared into my eyes. " I Love you're big Hazel eyes "

Oh my God. Did I just say that out loud? I can't believe it just slipped out of my mouth. My cheeks turn red and he most probably can see it too.

" Don't be shy my sweet Allie. At least I know that you like something about me" He says with a deep slow gentle voice that sends shivers down my spine. If only he knew everything I did like about him. The next moment it was as if he could read my mind and he lifted me like I'm nothing. I curl my legs around his waist and he squeezes my ass cheek tightly. He carried me to the bathroom vanity that was big enough for me to sit on. He put me down on the vanity and put his face in my breasts and sighed heavily. I pull him even closer and hold his head even tighter in my chest. " Jack is everything okay," I asked him. He pulls away and there is a sad expression on his face.

" I'm okay. It's just that I've waited for you for so long that it all feels so unreal right now. I can't believe that you are here. I just want to enjoy every moment I can with you and take your scent in. I don't ever want to let you go."

What does he mean by that he has waited for me for so long? I look deep into his eyes and hold his face gently in both of my hands so that he knows what I'm about to say, that I am serious to

" Jack, I'm here. It is not a dream. I am real. I never knew what it felt like to fall in love with someone until the day I saw you standing by the lake. I got a strange feeling inside me that I couldn't explain in the beginning, because I had never felt that way. But earlier when we first kissed, I knew it was Love. I know that it might be very soon to say it, but it's true Jack. I'm in Love with you. " His face brightens up and he wraps his arms around my waist.

" Ooh, my sweet Allie. You don't know how much I wanted to hear you say that. "

I pulled him closer as he said that, and I pressed my lips against his and started kissing him. He puts his hand behind my head and pulls it even closer so that our lips are pressed hard against each other. After a few minutes, when things started to get too heated again, Jack took me off the vanity

" We should stop before things go too far " I love the restraint he shows and not take advantage of me.
