Playing With Dolls
Aster looks down at the phone in his hands reading the text from his sister. "She wants the new Monster High Doll 'Jane Boo Little' for her birthday. Party starts at 4 and don't be late," Aster mumbles to himself. What kind of name is Jane Boo Little for a doll?" Aster looks up at the long aisle in Wal-Mart of pink lined with Barbie, baby dolls, and other girl toys. "And what in the hell is Monster High?"
He looks down the aisle before taking a deep breath before he starts walking to his doom. "Why could I not have another nephew? But no my sister had to go and give me a niece." He walks slowly down taking slow small steps for his long legs. His eyes scan the shelves that are overflowing with girly stuff looking for his prize to make the little girl happy.
He hears a whistle and though he only heard that voice for the first time his last trip to this dreaded place he would never forget it, "Well it must be my lucky day to find my favorite 'Roo' and don't you look snazzy all cleaned up!"
Aster groans looking at the boy with stark white hair, Jack, dressed again the in the Wal-Mart dress code and the same hoody. Aster does not say a word though and goes back to his browsing checking his phone to see it is 3. He has an hour to find this doll, pay, and get it to the party.
"Should I be worried that you are in the dolls aisle?" The Jack says making Aster grit his teeth.
Aster just keeps walking determined to ignore the annoyance until something snatches his phone out of his hand. Aster turns around watching jaw slack at the balls of this kid. Jack pushes buttons on Aster's phone before he looks up with false innocence.
"Oh," Jack holds the phone for Aster to see, "Is this yours?"
Aster growls before snatching it back from Jack, "Of course it is mine you little show pony. Shouldn't you be over in food anyways?" Aster pockets his phone in his pocket turning his back on Jack again shoulder stiff.
Jack moves to his side looking at the shelves, "Nope," Jack says popping his 'p'. I was assigned toys today and like I said. It is my lucky day since I get to see you again. What are you looking for?"
Aster just ignores him before moving on down the row eyes darting all around. Though he does check out the corner of his eye seeing Jack is still there. Jack just stands with his hands behind his back rocking on his feet again. Looking like he is not supposed to be doing anything else but bothering him.
"You know if you told me what you are looking for I could really help since you know I happen to work here," Jack points out to Aster.
Aster's shoulders sag in defeat because he knows if he does not get this doll his niece will be disappointed. Though he would make a deal with the devil right now that it was not the Frostbite who he had to ask. "I am looking for something called a Monster High Doll. Specifically Jane Boo Little." Aster looks at Jack expectantly who just winks at him.
Jack walks down the aisle some more swaying his hips dramatically as Aster reluctantly follows. Aster watches him walk eyes straying to Jack's ass that look good in the dark tight brown pants. Very tight pants that leave nothing to the imagination.
Aster has to shakes his head at the thought when Jack stops in front of some dolls at the end of the aisle. Not only that but he is going to a young girls party and Jack is an annoying brat no matter how good looking he is. Not to mention most likely jail bait. Even though Aster has known awhile his preference for the same sex he would not touch this snarky kid with a 10 foot poll. Must be the attention he thinks as he watches Jack dig through a bunch of boxes of dolls.
"So what do you want a Monster High Doll for?" Jack asks for conversation as he shakes his head looking at another row.
Aster picks up a box Jack drops and grimaces at what he sees thinking why his sweet little niece wants a doll like this. It had blue looking skin with white and back stripped hair and bolts in her neck like Frankenstein. He reads the name Frankie Stein and shakes his head before replacing it on the shelve.
Without thinking he answers, "My niece Sophie loves these dolls and it is her birthday party today. This is what she wanted."
Jack smiles, "Cutting it close aren't you?"
"Shut up Frostbite," Aster snaps out, "I work a lot of hours and it snuck up on me. Tease me all you like but my niece I would do anything for. Both my niece and nephew in fact are my world."
Jack stands up a box in his hand. "Don't have to go agro on me man. I was just kidding. It is sweet that you are trying so hard to get her something she loves so much." Jack gives Aster a large smile showing all his white teeth handing over the box. "Here you go one MH Doll."
Aster grabs the box from him tucking it under his arm. "Thanks, I guess, for the help." Aster turns away to head back down the aisle as fast as he can to the check out.
When Aster gets to the front he gets in the shortest line for a speed checkout. Waiting he pulls out his phone seeing it is phone to check the time seeing it is 3:30 so he needs to hurry. Getting anxious he hears again the voice.
"Yo, Kangaroo," Jack runs up leaning over out of breath. Holding out a bright pink bag, issue paper, and a card with what must be the Monster High Dolls on the front. When Aster does not take it Jack stands looking at Asters confused face, "Thought you might need this since you left the toys in such a hurry. Sure you don't want to give your niece a Wal-Mart bag on her birthday letting her know you forgot. Looks like I was right."
Aster stares at Jack thinking the kid might not be all that bad as the cashier rudely says to Aster if he is going to stand there all day or check out. Aster snaps out of his stupor focusing on Jack's blue eyes and his smile as it turns to a frown. Jack starts to lower his arm with the offered stuff when Aster grabs it and puts it on the checkout with the doll. As the cashier rings up the purchase and Aster pays he looks at Jack and actually smiles at him.
"Really I have to thank you mate." He grabs his sack with his purchase then sticks his hand out to Jack to shake. Jack's smile returns full watt as he grabs Aster's hand. "So really Thank You Frostbite. I would have been in a real pickle with my sister showing up with a Wal-Mart sack."
"It is no problem Roo. Glad I could help you make your niece happy." Before Aster can say anything else Jack takes off running back in the direction of toys turning to wave at Aster who finds himself waving back before he checks himself and heads for the door so he can get to the party.
Just as he was getting into his truck his phone beeps with a new text message. Checking his phone before pulling out he has a message from an unknown number. He clicks on the little envelope on his screen bringing up the message that causes him to snort in laughter though he should be mad, which says: By the way my name is Jack. Also you should smile more it looks good on you! ;-)
And that is a wrap for chapter 2. Wonder what is in store for these two next time? Well i know and you just have to wait to find out. Again review and let me know what you think and maybe if you want check out my other Jackrabbit story that is more of a novel in process. Critique is my friend and would love to hear from my readers. Also if you have a scenario that you want me to put these two in give me a shout in some way and i will try my hardest. Thanks to sakura-blossoms-26, AyameKitsune, and jinglyjess for the reviews and to all favs or follows. Makes me all tingly knowing someone likes it because i love writing both original and now i like writing fanfiction now that i got the courage. Until next time everyone.
