Jasper and I wanted to go out for a romantic dinner tonight. Tomorrow the kids will be here and we won't get any more time alone together. He said he was going to take me out for a nice dinner at an Irish pub called Mimosa Wine & Tapas Bar.

When we got there, we were immediately taken outside. They gave us our menus and gave us time to read them over. Me and Jasper decided to get the same thing, which was a Ginger Mojito, Irish beef churrasco with chimichurri, and cinnamon sugar churros with chocolate sauce.

Throughout the entire night, I had been working up the courage to tell Jasper something I've been wanting to say for the last seven months. I didn't know how he would take it considering we haven't been together for that long, but I want him to know how much I truly love him. This was a big step for us though. So far, the most intense things we've said to each other are promises of never leaving. This is terrifying.
By the time we got back to the hotel, I had decided I was ready. I had been working up the courage and finally made the decision to tell him when we got back to our room, just in case it didn't go over well and I wouldn't embarrass myself publicly. As we approached our room, I got nervous again. However, I swallowed the feelings of fear and pushed myself through the door, closing it behind me.
"So what's wrong?" Jasper asked.
"What do you mean?" I questioned, confused.
"Your shield falls unintentionally when you focus too hard on other things," he stated. "This evening it fell. I can feel the fear and nervousness radiating off you."
"Oh that," I said nervously. "Well you see, there's something I've been wanting to tell you." Now Jasper was nervous.
"Is something wrong?" He asked. "Are you not happy with me or something I've done?"
"No no no," I hastily replied, calming him ever so slightly. "It's not that. I'm so incredibly happy with you, our relationship, and family. It's just.... I don't know how to say this."
"It's okay honey," he soothed me. "Take your time. Just breathe."
"Okay," I sighed, finally calming down. "So, I haven't said this to anyone but Jackson which is why I'm so nervous. That relationship didn't work out so well. And I know it had nothing to do with anything I did but still. I'm scared. The only experience I've had with these feelings hasn't been the greatest. I'm not entirely sure how to say this sentimentally so I'm just gonna say it upfront. I love you." He flinched at Jackson's name. By the time I finished he was frozen, just like when you found out we are mates. "Jaz? Baby, are you okay?"
"Say it again," he whispered, slowly starting to smile at me. "Tell me you love me one more time."
"I love you, Jasper Whitlock," I said, smiling ear to ear. "More than anything. Well... with the exception of four little brats." We laughed.
"I love you too, Kennedy Davis," he said before asking if he can kiss me for the first time. I said yes.
