Always

Part 43

December twenty-third- 

"Dinner's ready!" Dad yelled from the kitchen and I walked into the kitchen. I haven't told dad about my plans going with Jax to his lake house. I didn't know how to tell him without getting a now as an answer. I already packed my bags and they're upstairs hidden in my room. Jax will pick me up 8 PM in his repaired car. 

I sat down. "So Paul, Ashley.... your grandparents are coming over tomorrow, to celebrate Christmas with us" He said and smiled. I really didn't want to ruin his mood by telling him I don't want to celebrate with them. "Cool" Paul said with his mouth full with food. "Yeah but by the way... dad, I was thinking of celebrating Christmas with a friend this year" I said and dad raised his eyebrows. 

"Huh? Who?" He asked and looked at me while putting a big pice of stake on his palate. "Jax... I mumbled and smiled innocently. "Uh uh, you already know the answer Ashley" He answered and I sighted. I knew this would lead into an argument. "But please dad..." I begged and he shook his head. "No" He said and I looked at Paul. And gave him the 'help me out' look. "Dad just let her have fun for once..." Paul said and dad looked up from his plate. "I don't want her to hang out with that boy" Dad said angrily and I groaned. "But dad please..." I said and stood up. 

"My advice is to just let her hang out with Jax, you won't be able to stop them to hang out dad. You just have to realise that they really like each other" Paul said and stood up to leave his plate in the dishwasher. "When are you leaving?" Dad asked and sighted. "He'll pick me up in one hour" I said and dad nodded. "Fine! But I want to talk to him before you leave!" He said and raised his finger at me. "Yes yes yes! Thank you dad!" I said happily and gave him a long hug before running upstairs to my room. 

I had one hour to prepare myself and the first thing I did was taking a shower to wash my hair. After wasting a way too long time in the shower I got dressed. I didn't want to wear anything too uncomfortable because Jax told me it was a  almost more then a two hours drive so I wore a black big hoodie and a pare of sweatpants. 

I looked out trough my window at 8PM and saw Jax walking up to our front door. I ran down with both my bags in my hands but dad got to the door first. "Hello mr. Roberts" He said nicely and dad stared at him from top to toe. "Okay so dad we're leaving now" I said and smiled. "Jax! don't drag her into all of your shit! Keep her safe" Dad said and I blushed. "You don't have to keep me safe, nothing will happen" I said and smiled again and gave dad a promising look. Paul walked out to us and looked at Jax. "Keep her safe" Paul said and I rolled my eyes. "For god sake, we're leaving now" I said and laughed. Jax grinned whiled I pushed him out trough the front door. "Bye dad, bye Paul" I said and closed the door. 

"Oh god they're embarrassing" I said and Jax looked at me. "They don't want anything too happened" He said and opened his car door for me. I sat down. "Yeah I understand" I mumbled and Jax started the car. "I looked at him and smiled. "I missed you" I mumbled and Jax smiled back. "We met almost two days ago" He answered and I smiled again. "Yeah and that's why I missed you" Jax's smile turned into a grin. And I turned up the radio. 

I really love sitting in a car just listening too the music but I can not focus on songs, Jax always drives really fast. It's almost like he got a death wish or something. "Truth or dare..." Jax said out of nowhere  and turned down the music. We where driving on an old deserted road in the middle of the woods and we could not see more than the light from the headlights of the car. I smiled. "Oh you and your stupid games..." I said and laughed nervously. I had no idea what this could lead to. "Im not playing..." I said. "Oh come on Ashley, let's play this instead of listening to all of Rihanna's songs this drive" He said and grinned. "Fine! Truth!" I said and Jax smiled big. 

"Have you ever gone skinny dipping?" He asked and I shook my head. "Nope, and I have no plans to do it either" I said and looked at him. "Okay, okay" 

"Truth or dare Jax?" I asked and he grinned. "Dare..." He said and I started to think. "Take of your hoodie" I said and he raised his eyebrows before removing his hoodie with one hand. Of course he had a short under. "Disappointed..?" He asked and grinned. I blushed before looking out trough the window. "Okay, truth or dare Ashley?" He asked while while he lightly drummed with his fingers on the steering wheel in synch with the music.  "Truth" I said and Jax rolled his eyes. "Boring, you can't choose the same thing two timed in a row" He said and I gave him a confused look. "Says who?" I asked, "Says me" He answered confidently and I sighted. "Okay dare..." 

"Take of your hoodie..." He said and grinned. "But I have nothing under" I said trying to talk me out of the situation. "What if I didn't have anything under when you asked...?" He said and grinned even bigger. I did as he said and removed my hoodie. Im glad that I decided to wear a bra under today. Jax looked at me. "Most of you girls don't wear a bra under a hoodie to be comfortable or something" He said and looked at me from top to toe. "Disappointed?" I asked and grinned back at him.
