Alright here's chapter four. Now that Jareth is no longer an owl Jade starts to get feelings for this mysterious man. Will she let love into her heart again or will the both of them be too stubborn to fall again? I don't own Labyrinth, enjoy and please review.
Jade allowed Jareth to remain with her, desperate to find out more about this mysterious sorcerer. The two would spend hours talking about anything and everything. Jareth was happy that Jade seemed to be more relaxed about his presence now. But he still worried as his feelings for her started to grow stronger. He didn't know what to do. If he were to test to see if she liked him and she didn't return the gesture…Jareth couldn't even imagine how he would live after that.
As the two walked alongside the river Jareth couldn't help looking at her. Jade was beautiful, the way the sun's rays caught her hair, the way her eyes glowed in the setting sun, the way her smile and laughter were contagious and warm.
Jade could feel his eyes on her, could feel a strange aura surrounding him. And…was that love in his eyes? No, it couldn't be. Jade had never been loved by someone other than her family before. No, surely she had imagined it because she felt she was falling for him. But she couldn't do that, not again. Try as she might, Jade felt her heart flutter every time he looked over.
Jareth stopped and reached out to Jade's arm to stop her as well. She turned to him, looking slightly confused.
"Jade" he whispered, sending shivers through her body at the way he said her name.
He could hold it in no longer, Jareth suddenly leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Knowing that he was throwing himself out there again, knowing she probably would push him away, knowing how this would end…but he didn't care. And some part of him was crazy enough to think that maybe Jade loved him too, maybe he wouldn't have to be alone anymore and neither would she.
Jade was surprised at first by his sudden action, but this kiss was like nothing she had ever experienced. The passion flowing from him sent fireworks exploding through her body. Jade forgot her fears of being hurt, forgot the wall she had so carefully built around herself. All she knew now was that she loved Jareth and he loved her and that was all she needed. Jade kissed back just as passionately and wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his good arm around her waist to pull her closer. His body was a comforting warm and his hair was unbelievingly soft when she ran her fingers through it. When the two had to break apart for air they stared into each other's eyes. Jade took one of her hands and placed it on the side of his face.
"How come you didn't do that sooner?" she whispered.
Jareth felt relief surge through him as he smiled, "because I was worried that you wouldn't except me."
Jade captured his lips with hers in another passionate kiss.
"I would never reject you" Jade whispered.
"You don't know how wonderful it is to hear you say that" he replied.
"I may never have known real love before, but I know that this…" Jade said lacing her fingers with his, "this is real"
Without another word Jareth kissed her again. Under the orangy glow of the setting sun they kissed, alone no more.
Ok I need to stop doing these short chapters cause at this rate my story is going to be like a hundred chapters. Anyways I know I put in the kiss really quickly, but I thought it was a good place to add it in. Remember I want some reviews before I update please.
