One more chapter complete. Once I have a plot running for this, I'll have fairly frequent updates. Summer has started and I have no life, so I will have hours to write almost every day. That is not a promise, it's a possibility, and nobody can hold me to it. I guess I'll just shut up and you can read the chapter.
"I owe you, big time, dude" Jonesy said to me as I checked out myself in the floor-length mirror in my room. I was wearing a black mini-skirt, black pumps, and a blue top with short sleeves and a green dragon winding down the side. To top of this oh so perfect outfit, the girls did my eyebrows, shaved my legs, and helped me stuff a bra. I also had to tape back my junk, and that was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
I was never so happy to be a dude. If girls went through this kind of work every morning, they were stronger beings than me. I could barely sit still while they plucked my eyebrows. It hurt so bad my eyes began to water, and the girls all began to try ways to calm me down. I stared in horror as my legs were shaved down. I still had to be a guy tomorrow, so what would everyone think of my shaved man-legs. I might need to join the swim team.
"You owe me HUGE time, bro" I turned to the side and tried to make sure my 'boobs' were even. I stared down at my shoes, I don't think I'll even be able to try to walk in these death traps. Why did girls do all of this? Most of them look hot when they first wake up, at least Jen and Caitlin do.
"Ready to go?" Jonesy asked as I checked one last time to make sure my wig was plastered on enough.
"No chances of getting out of this?" I asked with pleading eyes. Jonesy smirked at me.
"No chance in hell you're backing out now," I sighed and then made my eyes light up with the most girlish expression I could.
"Alright then lets go!" I said cheerfully in my best girl voice. This was going to be the longest night I've ever suffered through.
"Hey guys we're here!" Jonesy yelled as he pulled me into the room. I stared at the ground trying to forget what I looked like right now. All I could do was look at the pumps and think about what was to come. The whole drag thing wasn't the big deal, it was what I was doing in it. Trust me, this is not the first time I dressed up as a girl. There have been many cases in the past that I needed to wear my fake boobs and walk in a skirt. Though this was more work than I normally put in, seeing as how I never taped myself back, it wasn't the fact that I was in girls clothing and make-up that was bothering me. This was like meeting a girlfriends-er, boyfriend's parents for the first time, and I needed to make a good impression. This was going to be an awful night.
"Just remember that your my girlfriend and you have to respond to Judy, okay?" Jonesy reminded me. I nodded and braced myself. His parents came down the steps from the kitchen to the front door.
"Hello you must be uh-" His mom held a hand out to me. I shook her hand as daintily as possible
"Judy" I told her in my best girl voice. She smiled at me and glanced at Jonesy's father, who stuck his hand out to shake mine. I shook it and noticed the odd look that his dad was giving me. I smiled at them and they invited me in to sit down.
"So Judy, where did you meet Jonesy?" His mother asked me. I thought about it before I answered. I can't tell his parents the real story, seeing as how we told them about that when I first met his parents. Quick think of a lie, quick, quick!
"Jude is my brother, he introduced us," I smiled at her as I said it, "He introduced me to Jonesy one time when Jonesy was at our house and was totally cool with us going out." Jonesy put his hand to his face and groaned as his parents stared at me confused. I was smiling with all my power. I did the best job lying ever, nothing could-.
"You and your brother were given the same name?" Jonesy's dad asked me. I squirmed a bit, realizing my mistake. I forgot about what my girl and guy names were.
"My parents had me first and my full name is Judith, then Jude was born and his full name is," I paused trying to remember what my name could be if it was longer, "Judas" I decided just to use my goth name. Jonesy groaned again, squeezing his eyes shut, hoping that this would still work.
"Why did they give you such close names?" His mom asked me. I smiled, already ready for the question.
"So they wouldn't have to remember more than one basic name because we both respond to Jude,"
"Well Mom, Dad, we have to go-" Jonesy tried to pull me up to the door. His dad stepped in front of him. Jonesy paused and looked back to me for help, but I just shrugged. I was to busy noticing the warmness of his house. It was so perfect for a modern family. Just enough room, not on top of each other, tasteful but and overdone decorations. I never noticed how great it smelled in here either. Things seemed more, apparent, now that I was on a 'date'.
"Fine you two can go, but we want Judy over for dinner sometime," His mom said, pushing Jonesy's dad out of the way so we could leave. I couldn't help but hear the faintest 'she was a little odd looking wasn't she?' from Jonesy's dad. I guess we didn't do as good of a job making me a girl as we thought. We walked down his sidewalk to where his car was parked. He went to get into his door, but I coughed. He rolled his eyes, a look of refusal lingering behind his eyes. I smirked as the stubbornness began to ware down and he came over to open up my car door.
"Thank you" I sat in his car as dainty as possible fidgeting with the hem of my skirt. Jonesy sat in, rolling his eyes at me as I pulled down the sun visor to pretend to fix up my make-up.
"You can stop this dude," Jonesy rolled his eyes as I pouted at him, I followed it with the sweetest smile ever projected from a mortal face.
"I wanna go on a real date at the mall" I asked sweetly in my girl voice. He froze as he went to put the keys into the ignition and swallowed hard. I could see the red tint begin to plague his cheeks as he focused on the road. I giggled to myself the whole way to the mall, pretending to fix my hair up and shooting him side glances.
"Would you knock that off!" He hissed as he shook my hand off of his for the third time. We were headed through the clear front doors and he was being more uptight than ever. I giggled and hooked arms with him. This was totally worth the awkward parent meeting.
Once we were in the mall, he rushed us to the big squeeze, almost braking my ankle in the process. He dove into his seat and cringed as I gracefully sat on his lap and held onto his arm. Caitlin and Jen watched us with amused eyes, laughing at Jonesy's now beat red face. Caitlin brought over drinks and Jonesy went to town, trying to focus on the drink and not the situation.
"So you told them you were Jude's sister, but your mom was to lazy to remember both of your names and our parents bought it?" Jen laughed as they listened to the boys story. Jonesy got more comfortable and slid his arms around my waist. I could feel him sniffing my hair on the back of my head. I shuddered just hard enough to need to excuse myself, and hope that the others would drop all questions by the time I got back.
Jen POV
"So did you see him shudder like that?" Caitlin asked me as soon as Jonesy got up to check on Jude. I giggled and nodded. The two were denying their obviously non-platonic feelings for each other. The two made the cutest couple I've ever seen. Jonesy with his tall, dark, and handsome look and Jude had this cute little aura about him, that made people just naturally want to be around him. Both were silly and weird. They even managed to make Ron cry. If thats not a sign they were meant to be, I don't know what is?
"Maybe Jude really is straight?" She reasoned. We looked at each other and began to laugh again. This was so cute. It was also a little pathetic. I excused myself from the lemon to go back to the Penalty Box before my lunch was over.
"Masterson!" I was met with a yell upon my return. I rolled my eyes and stood at attention.
"Yes coach?" I said back smirking when I saw the lemon juice on his shirt. He was so gross and on top of that was a total dick. I can't believe he ever managed to reproduce. The coach barked orders at me and I quickly got to work, hoping that if I got things done fast enough, he would leave me alone. After about an hour I saw Jonesy and Jude walk by both laughing as Jonesy grabbed Jude's hand and some of the less accepting shoppers gave them disgusted looks. I laughed and watched them as Jonesy picked up Jude and carried him over to the Lingerie store. They would be the sweetest couple.
"Hey! Are those your two little friends over there?!" The coach asked loudly. I nodded a little shaken up by the intruding sound. "That nasty crap doesn't belong in public, I swear I should call that Jonesy boy's parents right now and tell them about his little boyfriend," my eyes widened in horror.
"You don't know them, do you?" I asked hoping he didn't realize that Jonesy and I were step-siblings. He shook his head and grunted. I knew he would be to lazy to actually look them up. I would have to make sure Jonesy knew about this before anything bad could happen.
"Get back to work!" He yelled. I scrambled back to work and thought about how awful the person I worked for was.
Jonesy POV
"Eskimo kiss," Jude and I shouted in unison, rubbing our noses together. The part of the mall we were in was silent, other than our laughter. I sat a thousand times more comfortable than I had been earlier at the short visit with my parents. I stared at Jude as he continued to make a scene. I laughed at him and pulled him out of the area, to an emptier one. It was getting late and I needed to head home soon.
"Is there any other torture you would like to put me through before the night is over?" I asked Jude. He laughed and nodded, "Well?"
"I want a goodnight kiss," I was taken aback. He continued to smile at me. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but his eyes were saying not. This is nuts, I mean, it's Jude. JUDE, your best friend, you can't do this!
"What?" I exclaimed.
"I want a kiss now because when you take me home I'm changing and then going over to your house as a guy," He acted like this was so normal. I mean he wasn't gay? Right? That look I was being given was making me wish he was. He bit his lip, trying to tempt me into kissing him. I sighed and leaned down to his height. As I leaned in closer his eyes lightly closed. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his.
The second our lips met I never wanted to stop kissing him. He was so warm and soft. I brought my hand up and touched his cheek, but the kiss was over as quick as it started. We pulled back, just left to look at each other and wonder what was going to happen now. We sat in silence in the car, and I stared at the floor as he turned into himself back into a guy. I smirked at the yell he left out when he pulled of the tape holding back his most manly feature. Finally he was done changing and back into a pair of loose shorts and a t-shirt. He sat next to me on his bed. I felt my head being pulled up to look at him.
"You're my best friend," He stated. I looked at him strange and started to talk, but he continued, "I know I'm not the quickest guy in the world, but I can see the mega-awkwardness that our future will hold if we don't look past this. Dude, you're my best friend no matter what, and this doesn't change anything, it's not like it even meant anything," he looked at me with a small smile. I smiled at him, not able to think about anything other than his smile and how it was most likely the cure for cancer.
"Okay" I replied. We sat talking about all the people at the mall tonight and all the events that took place. We talked about the last few months and how no matter what we would take number one priority in each others lives, no matter who we ended up with. Then it came back to the kiss.
"It's not that weird, but I do have one question?" I asked with a smile. He smirked at me.
"Ask away," He cooed.
"Am I a good kisser?" I asked fluttering my eyes? He laughed and nodded.
"I can only hope my second kiss is as sweet as this one," He said with a laugh. I froze and he looked at me concerned. This was his first kiss?
Yes, the first kiss. I thought because of the long wait it was only fitting. Oh and this kiss really doesn't mean that much. Even if it is a first kiss. First kisses aren't what they are set up to be. Mine was with my best friend in a game of truth or dare. Oh, but I will suck at describing that kind of thing, just a heads up. I've never made out with anybody, so I'm not even sure how that goes. Wow I'm a loser. Agh, I'm going to need to read some gay porn and find out how all that crap works, aren't I? This was just meant to be a peck, it's not just my inability to write cute scenes. I'll stop talking about it, but please review. It will make me smile.
