Give it a shot
Jason was still lying in Jenny's bed, unwilling to get up. "I don't feel like unpacking. I am too tired. You got to sleep on the plane, but I didn't." A moment of silence followed before Jenny said "Yeah that is true. Then go to bed. You can unpack tomorrow." 'Strike two!' The pity card didn't work either. Time for the last move. "I am already in bed, so why don't I just sleep here.." Jenny somehow unaware of what he was trying to do was trying to be helpful in ways that was very unneeded. "Why would you sleep here, when you have a perfectly fine bed right next door silly. Are you that tired? If you don't want to get out, I'll sleep in your room for tonight." 'Strike three! You're out.' Jason got up from Jenny's bed with frustration and said "Ugh, never mind. I'll just go back to my own room!"
"Why are you suddenly upset Jason? I told you that if you were too tired to go to your own bed, I would sleep there tonight." Jason turned around and decided to stop playing games and get straight to the point. With an irritated voice he asked "Why does it have to be one or the other?! Why can't we just sleep here together?" Jenny didn't let his emotions influence her stance and said "Come on Jason. During the trip we had no choice, but sleeping like that in the same bed is asking for trouble. We still have at least a year till we get married. Are you positive you can hold yourself back for that long, when we sleep in the same bed together every night?" Jason looked up a bit hopeful and said with a much calmer voice "I don't know, but I know that I at least want to try. Can't we at least give it a shot? Haven't I earned a chance during this trip?" "I'm sorry Jace.. I just don't think that's a good idea..A week away cannot be compared to months on end. For now I think we should stick to our previous sleeping arrangements. Okay?" Jason didn't respond and left the room disgruntled. He headed into his own room and slammed the door shut.
Shortly after the first door was closed, a second door could be heard slammed shut as Jason headed into the bathroom to get ready for bed. He was feeling annoyed and disappointed. With an angry expression he started brushing his teeth with much more force than was needed. With each second that passed one question after the other popped into his mind. Why did Jenny have to be so on guard around him? Would it really be so bad if something did happen between them? They were engaged for almost four months and if marriage was what she wanted, he would marry her right on the spot. He rinsed his mouth and walked out of the bathroom. He took off his jeans and dropped himself into his bed with a deep sigh. He stared at the ceiling as he said "Why can't she just trust me...?" As he continued to stare, his mind went to the time when he and Jenny were still getting to know each other. Back when they weren't engaged. He was thinking about how Jenny was telling him about why she hadn't let any other guys close to her. Why she hadn't accepted anyone yet.
Jason let out another sigh. He knew that not sleeping with each other before marriage was something that was important to Jenny. She had told him so from the beginning, so this response was something he could have predicted. It wasn't fair for him to get upset at her for something she believed in and had told him about before they had gotten together. She had clearly asked him if this was something he could accept and he had told her he could. He wasn't anything, if he wasn't a man of his word. He was still upset right now and he figured Jenny was probably already asleep. So he decided that he would apologize tomorrow. He felt that he shouldn't disturb her and secretly he hoped that maybe she would give in if he gave her some time to think as well. No harm in trying right?
Over at the other side of the wall Jenny was staring at the ceiling as well, as she was laying under the covers. She was feeling bad. Jason had behaved really well during their trip and maybe it was unfair for her to keep not trusting him. Every time subjects like this came up, in her mind the words her brothers had told her time and time again would instantly flash by. "Men are wolves in sheep clothing. Their minds are filled with one thing." Which would make her take a step back. Maybe that was right with the guys she came into contact with before. Maybe even now some of that was true. No one could deny that Jason had pushed her boundaries further and further, bit by bit. She could feel him trying to push their relationship to the next level. He was always working on making them grow closer. Not just mentally, but also physically.
Even though he was always moving forward, he had never gone too far. He had never made her regret anything that had happened between them. He knew which lines he could cross and which ones he could not. This past week was a perfect example of just that. So if he was willing to sleep next to her without doing anything and trusted himself in being able to do that, then maybe she should have some faith in him as well... It was at this moment that Jenny came to the same decision as Jason and told herself that she should talk to him tomorrow, when he wasn't this angry anymore. She too figured that he was probably already asleep and didn't want to disturb him. She also wanted to think everything over and make a final decision tomorrow, when she had had a good night's sleep. However little did she know that fate had a different plan in mind and that her walk over to Jason's side would be brought forward by much more than she had anticipated.
