56 I Love You More

It was around fifteen past two in the mid night. Jessica laid on her bed keeping her eyes wide open looking at the ceiling after Rachel left. Her phone vibrated but she didn't look at it. After few seconds, she looked at her phone and saw Austin's message.

*Can you come down right now?*

She looked out through her window and saw Austin stand with support of his car in front of her house on the road. She waved at him when he looked at her.

She wore fur slippers, so she tiptoed from her room to the entrance door without making noise. She looked around and made sure that nobody saw leaving from her room before going to the entrance door. She looked around before opening the gates. The security guard saw her going out but he didn't dare stop her as he saw Austin standing in front of the gate.

"I thought you wouldn't come," she said walking towards him.

"You were the one who texted me that you wanted to see me before the sun rise, didn't you ?" he said to see her nod with a smile as tears formed in her eyes and heard her say," I never said before sun rise. I just wanted to see you right now."

She hugged locking him by encircling her arms around his waist. She felt his warm breath as he kissed her head on the right side.

"Take me to the place where we first kissed eachother," she said and saw no response from him.

Pulling herself back from the hug, she raised her head and saw him when he said ," it'll take hours to reach there now."

"But last we went within an hour," she said.

Austin didn't know what to say, he didn't want to hide it from her and at the same time he didn't know how to tell her about the place and time of his first kiss.

Looking at Austin who wasn't responding, Jessica said," okay fine. Let's go for a drive."

"Okay," Austin said and got into the car immediately without wasting time.

Rachel who saw them leave couldn't come out of shock for a few seconds.

"They are leaving," Rachel said which made Justin to get up from his bed to see what made her shock at that moment.

He looked at the car and understood that it was Austin, a smirk appeared on his face when he saw them leaving.

"Why didn't you take me out like that a night before our marriage ?" Rachel asked him with a pout.

"Because you slept while we were talking on a video call. If you remember," Justin replied.

"Should've woke me up instead of staring at me while I was sleeping," Rachel said placing her hand on his shoulder to stop him from coming close to her.

"I couldn't," he said removing her hand from his shoulder.

"What are you doing ?" Rachel asked him in a low voice when he stood close to her.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked her.

"I ..... I .. don't know," she said when her breathe got heavier.

"Then let me do it," he said.

She was ready to kiss him when he took another step towards her. It was after he took two steps back from her did she understand the reason why he came close to her. It was to shut the opened window as the cold wind was blowing into the room.

"Did you think I was going to kiss you ?" Justin teased her.

She shook her head innocently but her intention was seen through him.

The very next moment his lips were on her. He kissed her softly before he parted his lips.

"It's time to sleep," he whispered and kissed her forehead. She nodded to his suggestion and went to bed. Justin slept beside her making her feel warm in the cold night.

Jessica who was with Austin had a bright smile on her face.

"Where are we going ?" Jessica asked him.

"I don't know, why don't you tell me where shall we go?" was his reply.

"Alright. Take left," she said and Austin took left .

He pressed a button to open the retractable roof when he saw her looking out side through the window to feel the breeze.

She got up from her seat after the roof was opened. Her silky hair was flying in the air due to the strong breeze blowing against them as Austin was driving at a high speed because the road was empty.

"Ms. Jessica Olsen."

Her heart skipped a beat when he called her name. She would be Mrs. Jessica Olsen Ames in a few hours, the thought it self made her blush.

There was a kind of happiness and at the same time fear took place in her heart. Not only she would be his wife but also she will be taking responsibilities as his wife. She was worried if she would be able to fulfill her duties.

"Yes ?" she said looking at him.

"Let's get down from the car," he said with a chuckle.

After getting down from the car and walking to a certain distance Austin said. " I know that you miss me when I don't talk to you and I want to apologize you for that. Trust me, I miss you each and every moment I'm away from you."

He tucked few strands of her hair behind her ear that were covering her beautiful face.

"You don't have to explain me. I know everything but I can't help myself from thinking about you," she answered looking at him.

His warm hands were on her cold cheeks to make her feel warm.

"I love you, Austin," she said and her voice echoed in the empty place.

"I love you more," he said in whisper for the first time. His voice was deep and his words soothed her soul.

She closed her eyes hinting him to kiss her to which he pressed his lips upon her gently, she felt warmth in his kiss in that cold winter night. He pulled his lips back from her to see the girl's expression which allured him everytime he kissed her.

"We should head back home now," he said to see her nod slowly moving her head up and down in agreement.

"Just a few hours and you'll be mine, Ms. Jessica Olsen," he said proudly with a smirk on his face and gave a quick kiss on her forehead when he saw her blushing.
