~*Chapter 4: The Kiss?? [Shrugs] I don't know what to call it*~
Once her last class was dismissed Jessica grabbed her books, shoved them in her book bag and rushed to the library. She had the rest of the day planned. She had a couple of hours free followed by her and Portman's date. Jessica wanted to study every day before her test which was coming up next Monday.
Jessica turned a corner and walked straight into Portman. Jessica jumped practically 5 feet high of fright. "Portman, you scared me half to death." She said, still shocked.
Portman gave a little laugh. "I'm sorry, babe. I didn't see you." He said as he picked up his book bag that he had just dropped.
"I haven't seen you since practise yesterday." Jessica said as she hugged Portman.
"You missed me? Madd!" Portman said "So where are you rushing off too?"
"Library." She quickly answered.
"Again? You've been there for the whole week. Come on." Portman spun Jessica around, put his hands on her shoulders and started pushing her to her dorm. "It's a Friday. You need to rest. You've been studying every night followed by test after test this week." Portman said.
"Portman, I have to study today." Jessica argued
"Not today, you don't. You have plenty of time on the weekend."
"What about our date?" Jessica tried again.
"What about it?"
"What if I over sleep? What if I don't make it? You'll be sitting in that restaurant by yourself."
"No, I won't. I'll just move it until tomorrow."
"That'll give me one less day to study."
Portman took his hands off Jessica's shoulders and opened the door. While Portman closed the door behind them, Jessica sat down at the edge of her bed.
"You never give up, do you?" he asked
Portman sat down behind her and started to give her a massage.
"Nope!" Jessica admitted. "That's feels so. relaxing. I never knew you could massage."
"You learn something new everyday. See, isn't this better than studying?"
"I never said studying was better than relaxing."
Just then Fay came into the dorm. "Hey, guys!" she greeted.
"Hi." Jessica said
"Fay Kimberly Chircop! You're babysitting for me, OK?" Portman didn't even wait for Fay to answer. "Sweet. Thank you so much. Well, I'll see you ladies tomorrow." Portman said as he headed for the door.
"Babysitting? Jessica? What!?" Fay had one of those confused faces on her head. Portman quickly nodded and exited the dorm.
"Wait." Jessica said as she got up and followed Portman. "Where're you going?"
"Studying." He answered.
"What!? So you can study but I can't?" Jessica asked.
"You've studied all week. I, on the other hand, did not. Go back to your room" he demanded. Portman once again opened the door and let her in. "You need to go to sleep. Fay, tell her to go to sleep."
"What about our date?" Jessica asked.
"Do you still wanna go?"
"Yeah"
"OK, then. I'll come by to pick you up 7:00."
"Promise?" she asked.
"Promise. But I still want you to have at least half an hour of sleep, alright?"
"Yep. See yah soon."
"Bye" Portman began to walk over to the door but stoped in his tracks. He turned around and gave her a gentle kiss.
Jessica was speechless for a second. She smiled and asked "What was that for?"
"Can't leave without a kiss." He answered coolly. "Now, go to bed." He turned around again and left the room.
"You heard the man, sleep!" Fay said pointing to Jessica's bed. Jessica crawled under her blanket while Fay, too, began studying.
Jessica woke up a while later and saw Fay studying. "I'm the only one not studying today, aren't I?" she asked herself. "You're awake. You might wanna get ready for your date now." Fay suggested. Jessica looked at her watch. "Now? I still have 40 minutes." Jessica said as she collapsed on her bed. "You have to take a shower. Pick out a classy dress. Do your make up and your hair. It'll take you more than 35 minutes." Fay explained. Jessica frowned. "Yeah, I guess."
35 minutes later, Jessica was ready for her date. She had to chose what to wear between a red silky dress and a green velvet dress. In the end she decided to wear the green dress because Fay said it brought out her green eyes.
Jessica sat on her bed and started to wait for Portman to come pick her up.
