�Hey Aaron,� Jess picked up the phone.

�Happy Birthday.�

�Thank you sweetheart. Was your thanksgiving good?�

�Yeah, Angel told me to tell you that she missed you.�

�I had to be with my family for this one.�

�Same here.�

�I miss you to death Carter.�

�I miss you too. I�m sorry I couldn�t make it today. I�ll be on the first flight home tonight.�

�Okay. I really wish your flight hadn�t been delayed,� Jess was obviously sad.

�I do too. Um, Jessie?�

�Yes Aaron?�

�Go answer the door.�

�But nobody�s,� there was a knock on the door, �there.�

�I love you Jessie,� Aaron whispered and hung up his phone.

Jessie walked to the door and slowly opened it. �A package for a Miss. Lane,� the delivery man held out a box.

�Thank you,� Jess shut the door and sat down to open the box.

�Happy Birthday,� Aaron whispered from behind her.

�Oh Carter!� Jess turned to face him.

�So shoot me! I lied a little,� Aaron smiled and kneeled down in front of her.

�Oh Carter,� she whispered again as his lips met hers. When Aaron began to pull away Jess pulled him back, �Bang,� and kissed him again.

�Girl, I think I should surprise you more often.�

�You probably wouldn�t get as good a reaction if you did.�

�I wouldn�t be so sure,� Aaron began to massage her hands, arms and then stood up to rub her shoulders. �So what did you get?�

�So far, I�ve gotten some jewelry, clothes, shoes, and money.�

�Open your box,� Aaron leaned down and kissed her shoulders and neck as he continued to massage.

�Oh Aaron, it�s gorgeous,� Jess lifted a stylish red dress out of the box with shoes and jewelry to match.

�Go put it on.�
