The clock
strikes midnight, Happy New Year!
Jack: Just about midnight.
There’s an old saying that the person you’re with on New Year’s Eve is the person you’re going to
be with on New Year’s Eve next year and the following year and the year after that. (megawatt smile, laughs, and raise
eyebrows)
Sue: Oh. Well, I guess that
means we are going to be together next year. You know I like that idea a lot. Come here and kiss me, Jack. (dazzling smile,
laughs, and teases Jack)
Jack: You guess? (laughs) I’m
counting on us being together, next year and the year after that and so on. You come over here and I’ll give you a kiss
you will always remember. (megawatt smile, teases Sue, and his signature wink)
Sue: Sounds promising. It’s officially midnight. Happy New Year! Give it your best shot, Hudson. (dazzling
smile and teases Jack)
Jack: I’m not going to need my best shot, Thomas.
Happy New Year! (megawatt smile and his signature wink)
Jack and Sue click their glasses. Then he takes her glass of champagne and
puts it down on the table. He hooked one arm behind her knees and the other around her shoulders. He carried her over to the
bed where he gently lay her down and then stretched out beside her.
Jack kissed her slowly and deeply. His hands captured hers and held them firmly above her head. She turned her
face up to his and gazed into his loving eyes. His deep kisses had become soft touches, his caressing hands taking their time.
He
was like a cherished prize she had never in her wildest dreams imagined receiving. His mouth came down on hers and Sue arched
her back to give him more access. This wonderful man, her man, Jack Hudson fascinated her from the moment they first met.
Lowering himself to his elbows, he cradled her face with his hands and kissed her fervently. Always the gentlemen,
always prepared for anything, and always ready with protection. He traced a line of kisses along her jaw to her ear and then
captured her lips in a thrilling kiss.
She open her eyes as the first wave crash over her and then the world spun out of control
with his strong arms her only anchor. This was beyond anything she had ever envisioned happening to her.
At this moment nothing could hold a candle to what she was feeling. Tonight, being in Jack’s arms exceed
her wildest fantasy. Jack and Sue share a romantic and wondrous New Year’s together.
Jack: That was incredible. It was like magic. It’s never
been that way for me before. (megawatt smile and his signature wink)
Sue: Oh yeah. What you just said, I totally
agree. (lighthearted smile)
Jack: This feels so good. I am so in love with you. (megawatt
smile)
Sue: I was thinking the same thing. You have to stop completing
my sentences. (lighthearted smile and laughs)
They
lay on the bed together, Jack gathers Sue into his arms as he gently kiss her soft lips. Sue rests her head on his bare chest
and nestles deeper into his strong arms. Jack watches Sue sleeping for a moment remembering every detail. This night is forever
etched in his mind. Then he slept like a rock.
In the morning, he awoke as sunlight filters in through the windows and with Sue snuggled against his side.
Jack awoke to the discovery that he was exactly where he wanted to be, where he wanted to be for the rest of his life, building
a home with Sue. He would like nothing more than be holding Sue in his arms everyday.
There
was no fear, just genuine contentment and he couldn’t stop grinning. Gazing down at her soft-as-satin cheeks still flushed
from last night, he kissed her forehead. Jack went to take a shower before Sue
awoke. He couldn’t imagine a time when he wouldn’t want to wake up next to her, when he wouldn’t want someday
to hold a baby of their own in his arms.
Right then, Jack thought of the perfect way to propose to Sue. Levi wakes Sue up and she went to take a shower
and changed clothes. Afterwards, Jack and Sue smiled at each other and went to pack up their suitcases. They took the elevator
downstairs to eat an early breakfast. After that, they drove to the airport to catch their flight back to D.C.
