When morning came, a ray of sunshine shone into the room while the two people were still asleep in the bed.
Jackson never let the woman out of his arms, and he hugged her even when they were asleep.
Jackson gradually woke up, and when he saw that the woman under him was still asleep, he gently moved not to wake her up, with his hands still around her. He felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the love marks on her body made by him in the night, and he knew that he would be crazy for Cherry all of his life.
She felt him moving around her and also woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jackson looking at her.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you know who I am?" asked Cherry.
"Can't I just look at you?" Jackson's voice was very gentle, the only way that he would treat her.
Cherry looked at Jackson and then looked sideways, and said, "Boring!"
"How? Are you already fed up with me?" he asked. When he saw Cherry's action, Jackson was a little disappointed at her.
"No, but I just get a strange feeling when you stare at me like that, " replied Cherry.
Jackson then slightly smiled and held Cherry tight in his arms.
They got out of bed, and had a quick and simple breakfast. After they finished eating, Jackson touched Cherry's hair in a spoiled manner, and said, "What do you want to do today? I'll accompany you."
When she heard him, Cherry was happy that he finally had time to spend with her.
She thought for a while, and replied, "How about we go shopping first and then go watch a movie?"
Jackson thought that Cherry would suggest something unusual and bizarre, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words.
Cherry was a little embarrassed and annoyed when she saw him laughing, and asked, "Why are you laughing? If you don't like my plan, then I'll ask Emily to keep me company."
When he saw her so irritated, Jackson quickly tried to coax Cherry, and said, "No, no, I love it! How could I not?"
"Okay. Let's get dressed and go, " replied Cherry.
"As you say!"
Jackson accompanied Cherry to the shopping mall and then watched a movie with her. The day passed quickly, but after they got back home, Jackson's cell phone rang again.
He answered it and then hung up the call after he said a couple of words.
Cherry vaguely heard that Jackson said that he would go out, and asked, "Who was on the phone?"
"It was Derek. He said some of our friends are having dinner together and invited me to join them, " answered Jackson.
