Jagger playfully scoffs. “No, no, baby, that’s all right. I can answer that. The most daring thing?” He sighs, then the most beautiful expression crosses his face and stays there. “Marrying you and finally getting to be happy.”
I stare at him, awestruck. “Care to elaborate, babe?”
“Sure thing,” He responds. “Marrying yo—, nah, loving you was or rather still is the most daring thing I’ve ever done. Especially after having my heart ripped out of my chest like it was before. I didn’t think I would fall in love again, shit, I didn’t think we’d be together like this we are now but baby, you’ve made this heart-broken man feel like he’s never known love like he has with you. I know I’m talking in third person but fuck, I answered your question. Next?”
I clear my throat looking up at the sky trying not to cry from his words. I shake my head, trying not to break down right now. I look back down at my beautiful husband. “If you had one day left to live on the earth, what would you do?”
“Hmm… Spend it fucking you.” He answers, shrugging his shoulders.
“Baby, I will have to edit that out.” I giggle. “Nasty ass.”
Jagger makes a sudden movement lifting his hips up making me feel his semi-hard predicament and I smile. “Next question, baby, focus.” He commands.
I roll my eyes. “Fine. What’s one of your favorite memories as a kid?”
At this Jagger lifts his shades up, placing them on his head. “My favorite memory is of me and Jamie before he, you know, passed. Jamie had an obsession with the song—I wanna sex you upby Color Me Badd — and one time, he cranked up the volume playing the entire song. He knew all the words and that day my father was hosting a party. It was so funny to me. I remember joining him in the living room dancing with him. Our parents’ faces were so red and embarrassed, but we didn’t care at all. That was the last craziest but funniest memory that I had with him.”
I reach out, caressing his face with one hand. “I’m sure I would have loved him if I met him.” I say.
He softly nods. “He would have loved you too.”
I lean in and kiss Jagger because he’s the most perfect human being I have ever met. I slowly pull away. “I love you, Jagger, with all my heart. I’m crazy about you and I’m pretty sure you had my heart from the very first time you saw the real me.”
“You spoil me rotten, pretty baby, you know that?”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” He answers and gives me a quick peck. “Any more questions for me?”
I shake my head. “No.”
“Good, give me the camera, I’ve got some for you.” He takes the camera and turns it on me.
I place my palms flat on his bare chest. “Okay.” I say breathlessly.
“What scares you the most in the world?” He asks.
I look at him. “You.”
“What do you mean?” He asks.
“You scare me because I don’t think anyone has ever looked at me the way you do. In a room full of people, you have always seemed to find me. Now that I think about it, you’ve always seen me. What the hell, Jag. That’s not what’s supposed to be happening here.”
“Hmm…” Jagger answers and reaches out, pinching my nipple hard. My body awakens and I try not to make any sudden movement as I feel him grow harder right under me. “Next question, baby, if you could see anybody in concert, who would you see?”
I sigh like an awestruck teenager. “Brett Young.”
He scoffs. “Brett Young,” he mocks me and I can’t help it as I laugh. He continues. “If you could pick any of his songs, which one would you pick for how you feel about me?” He cocks his brow.
“It’s betweenIn case you didn’t knowandwould you wait for me.”
“Why?”
“Because, Jagger. With one, it’s simple like he says, in case you didn’t know, I’m crazy about you and you’ve had my heart a long, long time ago. And with the second one, it’s my plea, my everyday question; would you wait for me, could I ever be everything you need, If I promise you my love Could that promise be in love?”
Jagger tilts his head. “No, I won’t wait for you because I’ll never let you go anywhere without me. You’ll always be everything I need and more. I don’t need you to promise me your love because honey, I know I’ve got it and yes, that promise can be us in love.” He answers. “And Ainslee, I’m insanely fucking crazy about you too.”
I take the camera away from Jagger’s hands and my now crying face. I turn the camera to him. “One more, is there anything you’re afraid of?”
