Surprise Part 1

Zoey's POV

It has been a week since Jackson came back and explained things to me and I was still thinking about things and trying to figure out what I wanted out of this, whatever it was we had going on.

I was sitting out on the front porch with my feet tucked up under me on the swing when I saw Jackson's truck pull in the driveway. It made me smile just knowing I was gonna see him.

I sat there with my mug of coffee in hand as he stepped out of his truck wearing a t-shirt, hat, jeans and his old raggedy boots. I rolled my eyes taking a drink and trying to keep him from realizing how eag I was to see him.

Jackson's POV

I saw her smiling but chose to ignore it, not wanting to call her on it yet. I walked up the stone walk to the porch and plopped down on the swing beside her, nudging her feet down and putting my arm around her shoulders. "How's my favorite girl today?"

She giggled, "Well, if you're talking about me....then...I'm good." She blushed.

I chuckled, "Wonderful. Are you up for a day out?"

"Hmm...not sure. Where are we going?"

I shook my head. There was no way I would tell her. She had told me the other day she still hadn't got to do the one thing she's wanted to do since she was a little girl. "I don't think so, it's a surprise."

She sighed. "Really? Well, what if I say no?" She asked mischieviously.

I sat there quiet acting like I was thinking about it. "I guess I'll just have to tie you up and drag your ass there." I said all that with a straight face.

"In that case, maybe I don't want to go." she turned to me with a smirk on her face. God its only been a week and I want her so bad I can barely stand to keep my hands off of her. The prospect of tying her up was making me think bad thoughts.

I shoved those thoughts to the back of my mind and tried to ignore them. "Hmm...you sure you want to go that route?"

"Nah, what should I wear?"

"Just some jeans and a shirt. Nothing fancy or new." I smiled at the look on her face. She was intrigued. I laughed. "Go get dressed, I'll wait on you here."

Zoey's POV

I just looked into his eyes. He had something planned and it was eating at me to know what it was. I finally stood up, leaning back down and kissing his cheek I walked in the house and up to my room half skipping. I was so excited and anxious.

I walked into my room going straight to my closet searching through my hundreds of clothes, deciding on a old pair of jeans and a shirt I haven't wore in months. Then put on my tennis shoes.I ran a brush through my hair and practically ran back downstairs and out on the porch. "Ok, I'm ready." I smiled standing in front of Jackson.

He groaned when he looked at me. My deciding no sex for us was torture for us both but I couldn't do that. Not yet.

"You most certainly are." He stood up and put his arms around me lowering his mouth to mine and kissing me. I whimpered and melted into his kiss. When he finally pulled away I was breathless.

"We can't do that." I told him, reluctantly. It would just be so easy to fall into bed with him again. But that was one of our problems last time. We moved to fast. Got in to deep to fast.

He sighed. "I know, I just couldn't help myself. I'm sorry." I shook my head. "Don't be sorry. Never be sorry for kissing me. I just don't want us moving to fast this time and I know if you kiss me it will lead to other things we don't need to be doing yet."

"I agree. Ok, let's go since we're not doing other things." He smirked. OH, that grin. It kills me. I had to wait a second before moving so I could compose myself.

I released him around the waist and turned, "You coming?" I closed my eyes knowing what was coming next.

I could feel his grin grow wider. "I would like to have you making me come." He chuckled taking my hand. I backhanded his chest. Not even enough to hurt him. He took both my hands in his and twirled me around making me laugh, then he scooped me up and carried me to his truck and put me in the passengers side. "I can walk ya know."

He got in the drivers side backing out of the driveway and sped downt he road toward the unknown place he was taking me. "Where are we going?" I asked again. "I'm not telling." He replied. Ugh, I hated surprises sometimes. Especially, when I was told abotu it previously. It drove me nuts. Why did he have to tell me? I sighed leaning my head back against the head rest.

We drove for a while then he veared off onto a dirt road. "What the hell? Where ARE you taking me?" I was starting to get nervous.

"You'll see soon enough." He grinned, why did his grin have to be so sexy. "I hate when you do that. Tell me its a surprise before we leave." He chuckled. "I know you do." He said through his laughter.

When I turned back around I saw a horse stable with two beautiful white horses standing off to themselves. My eyes went wide as they misted over. "Are you kidding me? You're taking me horseback riding? Seriously?" I was in shock. I couldn't believe he remembered. I have always wanted to go horseback riding. Its been my dream since I was a little girl.

When we stopped I practically jumped out of the truck running up to the wooden fence to look at the beautiful creatures, feeling Jackson's arm come to rest on my waist a few minutes later.
