A Christmas to Remember, Jack and Ennis

[jessie]

My Brokeback Mountain Christmas story, hope you enjoy it.

Alma came to see Ennis, she was scared to tell him, but she was taking the girls away for Christmas. Her new Husband wanted to visit family in New York, and Alma wanted to go, and she wanted her girls to go too. She knocked on Ennis's trailer, she was nervous but she smiled as Ennis opened the door.

"Alma what are you doing here"?

"Ennis can I come in for a moment, I have something important to ask of you"

"What is wrong is Jenny or Alma Jr sick"?

"No they are fine, they are so excited about Christmas". Ennis smiled, "Want to see what I made Jenny, she loves her horses, I did this by hand". He showed Alma the wooden horse he carved she took it sitting down on his bed.

"This is beautiful Ennis, she will love this"

"I know I can't see them for Christmas dinner, but maybe I can take them out to dinner Christmas Eve. The dinner is open you know Maggie's Diner"

"Ennis I'm taking the girls to New York with me"

"What "?

"Just for Christmas they will be back for New Years. Monroe want the girls to meet his family. I know you are upset but for me please understand"

"Why can't you take them after Christmas"?

"We are going now I already went to our lawyer, he said you can't stop us"

Ennis got up walking to the door, "Get out"

"Ennis please I didn't do this to hurt you"

"Really you did, take my girls you have basically kept them from me all this time anyway"

"That is a lie, I have allowed you to be with them. You are a great Father but this would be good for them. They can see the world, we never had the chance to take them anywhere"

Ennis slammed the door, "Oh are you saying I was a horrible Dad because I didn't take them to some other place. I have worked my whole life, I gave you , and the girls a home, and clothes, so don't make me feel like crap"

"You provided for us, and I know you would do anything for the girls"

"And you"

"Really you were married to me , but I had to beg for any kind of attention. Your mind was somewhere else Ennis, and you know it. "

"What are you talking about"?

"You didn't want me you wanted Jack"

Ennis was shocked he stared as Alma yelled, "I saw you kiss him, I saw how you were watching out the window for him to come. I saw how you would wait for his stupid postcards, and I even heard you whisper his name in your sleep. You couldn't make love to me without wishing it was him. You never made love the way I wanted, but I wanted to pretend there was no problem. I saw you kiss him, and that day my heart was ripped out, and when you left for your trip to Brokeback Mountain, I knew you were never more happy. You left for a couple of mouths, and when you came home, I saw how disappointed, and down you were. Oh you would put on a smile for the girls, but I could feel you cringe when I touched you. I loved you Ennis De Mar, I would do anything to have you love me the way I deserve. I love Monroe, but you were the one, I wanted to spend my life with. I wasn't that for you Jack was, please have the guts to tell me the truth "

Ennis walked over sitting on the bed, putting his hand to his face. Alma walked over knelling down, "Ennis you love Jack, why are you fighting it, why isn't he here with you"?

"I can't " Ennis had tears in his eyes, Alma touched his cheek, he held her hand.

"I'm so sorry Alma, I did love you, when I met Jack, I didn't want to love him, but I did. I hate that I can't be with him, I won't do that to you, and the girls"

"We are fine, be with the one you love, don't worry about us"

Ennis whispered, "I'm sorry you saw the kiss, I never knew"

"I wish I didn't Ennis it hurt so bad, but I knew than I lost you". Alma and Ennis both start to cry, as he pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "I do love you Alma, forgive me".

"Go to Jack, you deserve to be happy Ennis"

He wiped the tears from his eyes, as she smiled, "I have to go but you can see the girls before we leave. You can have them for a week in the New Year"

"OK maybe you can give Jenny this" He handed her the horse but she smiled, "You give it to her, she will love it"

"What if they don't understand Alma"?

"They will they adore you Ennis, that will never change"

Alma walked to the door, Ennis smiled as she left, and he sat sitting on the bed. He smiled as he grabbed his coat, he was going to call Jack, and ask him to have Christmas together, he just hoped he wouldn't say no, because he knew he would deserve it , but he also knew it would kill him if he lost Jack Twist for good, he knew he couldn't survive that. Ennis ran out of the trailer getting in his car to go to the local store to use the pay phone.

Great start to your new story Jessie. I feel bad that Alma saw Jack and Ennis kissing. I hope that Jack and Ennis are reunited for Christmas.

[jessie]

Chapter 2

Ennis drove to a diner, and used the payphone outside the diner. He was shaking he wondered if Jack would decline his offer to meet him for Christmas. He dialed Jack's number, and waited for him to answer.

"Hello"

Ennis whispered, "Jack it is me"

"Ennis"

"Yeah how are you doing Jack"?

"Oh all right how are you doing, is everything OK"?

"Well I was wondering do you have plans for Christmas"?

"Me no I'm spending it alone"

"Well you don't have to, would you like to meet me Jack"?

"What are you saying Ennis, you want to spend Christmas with me"?

"Yes but not here, lets meet somewhere, and have a special Christmas together"

"Not at Brokeback Mountain it would be freezing man"

"Well we have the equipment, we could use tents, but bring lots of blankets, and all we need is wood, come on Jack"

"Oh God we will freeze to death Ennis"

"I will keep you warm, I promise" Jack was shaking in excitement, he has not seen Ennis in 6 months, he ached for him, but this was like a dream that he would wake up from real soon.

"Ennis this is for real"?

"Jack meet me there Friday, I will bring what we need. I promise you it will be a Christmas to remember, will you give me this gift Jack"?

"Yes, I will be there around 4 that OK"?

"Sounds great Jack"

"Yeah Ennis"?

"I miss you so much, see you than" Ennis hung up , Jack whispered, "I love you to Ennis" He knew he didn't hear him, but he smiled thinking Ennis missed him, and needs him, and it was the best feeling he had, this was what he was dreaming about for months. He ran to pack his bags, he didn't have to leave until tomorrow, but he was going to be ready, he wasn't going to waste a single moment of his time with Ennis.

Ennis hung up, he went into the diner, and grabbed a burger. He left, and went over to the store to get stuff he would need up at Brokeback mountain. He went to the country store, he got blankets, and other essentials he would need to survive the winter cold. He left when he saw a jewelery store, he parked, and went inside. He was looking around, he saw a belt bucket it was sterling silver. He smiled it was a man on a horse, it kind of reminded him of Jack. He walked over, "Can I get this engraved"?

"Sure can 10 cents a letter"

"That is fine"

"What would you liked engraved"?

"Holding you, I held everything, forgive me for wasting so much time.
I love you Jack
Yours forever
Ennis

The lady smiled as she waked away to engrave it. Ennis smiled wondering what Jack looks like now, he missed his smile, and his touch, but after this weekend, he knew he would never let him go, no matter what the world thought, they belonged together, and he was going to ask Jack to move in with him, and whatever happens it didn't matter as long as they were together.

[Sanda]

Chapter3

Ennis was driving up to Brokeback mountain, he was so excited. He was like a child on Christmas morning. He was going to spend Christmas with Jack, and he hoped they would spend the rest of their lives together. It wouldn't be easy, and it may be the hardest thing they both ever did, but Ennis knew it was what he wanted, and needed. He ached for Jack, he couldn't wait to wrap his arms around him, and see his beautiful face. He was 1/2 hour away, he hoped Jack was there or close. He smiled as he kept driving, and he got to the spot, they always met at, and saw Jack's car. He saw Jack get out of the car, and wave as Ennis stopped the car. Jack ran over opening the door almost pulling Ennis out, as they hugged like never before. It was like they both needed this so bad it hurt. Ennis touched his face, "Have you been waiting long"?

"1 hour, I didn't want to be late"

"I'm sorry, I thought I would be on time"

"You are on time Ennis, I was early". Ennis smiled, "God you look amazing, handsome as ever"

"You look good too, I have missed you Ennis. You will never know what this means to me"

"Want to go set up camp, we should get the fire going before dark"

"It is going to be cold Ennis, but you promised to keep me warm" Ennis smiled, "Oh that is a promise, I can keep". Ennis was grabbing the gear, and his bags, Jack helped. Jack grabbed his bag, as they were walking up the hill to the spot they normally set their tent up at. Jack pointed, "Right here "

"I remember Bud"

Jack smiled as they put everything down, they put the tent up together. Than they were putting the fire together. Jack went to find wood, while Ennis was trying to start the fire. They got it set up, Ennis smiled, "Do you want to eat , are you hungry"?

"Yeah I'm hungry, but not for food"

"Jack slow down we have a few days"

"Slow down, I had to wait months"

Ennis walked over, "I know it was hard for me too"

"I know Ennis, I never expected this, why did you do this"?

"Ask you here"?

"Yeah"

"You might not believe it, Alma helped me realize, I was being a fool pushing you away. I know we are heading for major heartache, but I'm willing to deal with it for you"

"Pardon"

"Jack I'm asking you to come back with me after our time here. I can't leave my girls, I love them, and they love me. I want to introduce you to them, I'm not sure how they will react. I'm hoping they can deal, but maybe we can get a house, I live in a trailer, but I would move for you"

"I would live in a tent the rest of my life, if I got to stay with you"

Ennis laughed, "You would wouldn't you, it is going to be hard, are you ready for that"?

"I'm scared Ennis for you, I don't want your family to turn against you because of me"

"Shh Jack, lets not worry about that right now"

"I'm freezing Ennis, you promised me you would keep me warm". Jack walked to the tent, Ennis smiled, "Nice Jack, you are to much" He followed Jack to the tent, and closed it.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Jack and Ennis are soo cute and adorable together in your story. I need to see the movie Brokeback Mountain again soon. It has been years since I have seen this movie.

[melindajo2000]

this is so good, I am happy they are going to be together, wonderful writing but you know that!

[jessie]

Chapter 4

Jack sat down on the sleeping blanket opening it up. Ennis grabbed his bag pulling out 2 sets of Long Johns smiling. "I promised to keep you warm"

Jack pulled the long johns out of his hand. "You think this is what I need"?

"Yeah they will keep you warm, and snuggly"

Jack pulled Ennis down beside him, he took off his hat. He touched Ennis's cheek, "All I need is you Ennis, don't you want me too"?

Ennis moved close as their lips touched, as they kissed as Jack laid back. Ennis looked into his eyes, as he touched his lips, and started to unbutton his shirt, bringing his lips over his chest. Jack whispered, "I'm burning up already" Ennis smiled, "Will you stop with the talking Bud"

"What you don't like me talking"?

"No I like you better when your mouth is against mine" Ennis moved over him their bodies touching so intimately, Jack gasped in excitement, he was losing it. Jack felt his whole body convulse with a hungry desire. He grabbed Ennis helping him take his clothes off , while the whole time their lips were kissing, and they both became frantic, like if they waited another moment, they would lose it. Ennis wanted Jack's body, and he could arouse him just by looking into his eyes, he could see the desire Jack had for him, and it made him feel so alive, he only felt this passion with Jack. They came together, they both gave themselves completely to each other, they both didn't want this moment to end, but they collapsed side by side both totally exhausted, but both totally content, they both stare at each other. Jack had tears in his eyes, he smiled, "You are a man of your word "

"What do you mean"?

"You kept me warm, I'm so hot right now, but I will be ready for another go once I catch my breath" They both laugh as Ennis moved close as they wrap their arms around each other. Jack whispered, "This isn't going to end is it Ennis, this is not just a wish that will only be for now, and we will go back to our lonely lives"

"Jack I promise you , I will not go back on my word. We will be together, I'm not losing you again"

"You never lost me Ennis, I have loved you since the first time we met"

"You did really"?

"Yeah but I wasn't so sure if you felt the same-way. The night we made love was wild, but I never forgot that first time"

"I was not that romantic was I"

"You needed me as much as I needed you. I know this is strange for you, but I'm blessed you came into my life. I love you Ennis, and I will until the day I die"

Ennis smiled, "Good because we are going to have a rough time of it, but if we love each other enough I think we will survive it"

"Ennis I'm starving, but we have to go out there to eat"

Ennis touched his face, "You stay here, I will get us something, soup sound OK"?

"Great"

Ennis put his jeans on, and his shirt, while Jack watched. Ennis smiled, "Keep the bed warm, I will be back"

"I will" Ennis walked out, Jack pulled the sleeping bag over him, and smiled, this was the most amazing day, he wished for this day forever, and it finally happened. He whispered, "Dear God I know you may not approve, or maybe you do. I know I love Ennis, and he loves me, isn't that all that is important. Please help us , please make people understand, but most importantly, make his girls accept me" Jack shut his eyes knowing if Ennis's girl disapprove, it may be the end of them.

[Sanda]

OMG Jessie this chapter was soo sweet and soo romantic. Jack and Ennis are soo cute and adorable together in your awesome story. I LOVE that Jack was saying a prayer to god for him and Ennis. I hope and pray that Ennis's girls will accept Jack and Ennis as a couple.

[melindajo2000]

this was really good, I love this story already you capture the essence of them as a couple

[jessie]

Chapter 5

They fell asleep in each others arms, only wearing their boxers, and t-shirt after making love several times. It was 3 am, Jack woke up shaking he was so cold. Ennis jumped up, 'Jack what is the matter"?

"I'm freezing, you kicked the blankets off of us". Ennis grabbed the blankets, pulling them over them, cuddling with Jack. He was still shaking, Ennis touched his face, "Focus on me, and my desire for you"

"What"?

Ennis stared into his eyes, as he brought his lips over Jack. He moved his body over him, not in a sexual way, just so Jack could feel his body heat, and he would stop shaking so much. Jack whispered, "Oh Ennis"

"I'm sorry, maybe we should have went somewhere else, but this is our special place"

"Ennis you are not going to walk away again are you"?

"I told you I wasn't don't you believe me"?

"Your not sick are you"?

"Oh God do you think I brought you here to tell you I'm dying"

"My brain is all over the place, I can't believe this is happening"

Ennis whispered, "I'm not dying, and I'm not going anywhere but here in your arms" Jack pushed Ennis, and he brought his lips over his, as they kiss passionately. Jack whispered, "I need you now Ennis"

They undressed, and before they knew it they were making love again. This time more tenderly, not so frantic like other times. Jack was making Ennis desire him more than ever, he pulled Jack close, like if he didn't he would lose him, and the thought of that made him ill.

"Ennis what is the matter"?

"I don't know do you ever have a bad feeling about something"?

"You kidding every time I left you after our trips here"

"No like your not meant to be really happy"

"You think your girls won't accept me, I know they mean the world to you. I pray they accept me because I know you would never choose me over than"

"I choose you both, and I'm not giving up on you or my girls"

"Ennis"

"You are amazing, I'm not cold anymore, but maybe we should wear our long Johns"

Ennis smiled, "OK" He grabbed them, and they put them on, as they got under the blankets, and the sleeping bag. They were so close they felt like one. Jack has never felt so close to anyone as he did with Ennis this moment. Jack held on to Ennis hand, as he whispered, "This is going to be the best Christmas ever"

"For me too Jack" They both started to drift off asleep. It was morning Ennis woke up not seeing Jack. He jumped up pulling his jeans, and boots on, and grabbed his coat, and went outside. He smiled seeing Jack making breakfast. Ennis walked over, "Oh that coffee smells good"

"I remember your appetite Ennis, it will be ready in a few moments" Ennis sat down, Jack smiled, "Have a nice sleep"

"Yeah like a baby"

'You know you talk in your sleep Ennis"

"Do not"?

"Do so you were calling out my name, that sounded so good"

"I called out your name"?

"Yeah it was something like, "Oh Jack, don't stop, oh Jack you are amazing, and so sexy, and all mine"

Ennis smiled, 'I know your lying I would remember that"

"Well you did say Jack"

Ennis smiled as Jack got their breakfast ready.

[melindajo2000]

this was amazing... It was so well written and it was wonderful the closeness they shared, I hope it doesnt stop . You are doing such a great job

[Sanda]

Sweet update Jessie. I LOVE that Jack caught Ennis talking in his sleep and that ribbed Ennis about talking in his sleep. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon.
