Playlist for Chapter Nine of Stalker: Ha Ha, You're Dead—Green Day
"Jasper," I giggled, as he spread feather light kisses down my hairline. We were at the movie theater in Port Angeles. We were seeing some movie called Sleepy Hallow. (I know the movie is older, but I'm obsessed with it, so get over it. :D)
The movie was almost over, and after it we were going to go go-karting.
Despite Jasper's hand in mine, and his ear on my hair as I laid my head on his shoulder, I was really into this movie. Johnny Depp portrayed an excellent Ichabod Crane.
As the movie ended I sat up and stretched; I stood and offered Jasper my hand. He took it and I pulled him up. We then walked hand in hand out of the theater, leaving the screen with the rolling credits behind.
Did I mention I rode a motorcycle for the first time? Yes, Jazz has a motorcycle. I had terrible helmet hair too. But, riding on a motorcycle is a thrilling experience. The rush as you speed down the highway...the feeling of losing your stomach...sensational.
I hopped on the back as we exited the theater, and Jasper revved the engine. It started at he pulled back on the gas twice, making it emit the famous vroom vroom sound.
I held on to Jasper tightly as we raced to our destination. With anyone else I would be scared out of my mind, not so much with Jasper, I trusted him fully.
The ride to the go-karting track was short, and I enjoyed it. As I hopped off of his silver bike, it felt as if my legs were numb.
"He he," I giggled, stupidly, "Jazz, my legs feel like jelly."
He laughed, and kissed my forehead, "You'll get used to it."
I got up on my tip-toes and tried my best to throw my arms around his neck, but I'm short. He leaned down, and I was able to wrap my arms around him now. I closed my eyes and inched closer, and he did the same. Our lips met, and brushed against each other, softly.
I pulled back from our second ever kiss, and rested my forehead against his.
"I'll never get tired of doing that," he admitted.
"Neither will I," I said, and pecked him again.
He released all of me but one hand, and we made our way to go get our tickets.
Once we got our tickets we went outside to the track, it was completely empty. It was just going to be me and Jasper. I loved the sound of "me and Jasper" our names being linked together...like we had an unbreakable bond, holding us to each other.
Corny I know.
We handed the man two of the six tickets we had and we went to grab one of the go-karts. I got in a purple one, and Jazz picked blue. I had never gone go-karting before in my life, and I was sure there was an awaiting tragedy about to occur.
I buckled myself up, and the man came to check to make sure we were seated securely. The karts started to rumble to life and I turned to the right to get on the track. I swerved around the line of karts that were parked on the side. I heard another rumble coming up from beside me and I looked to my left. Jasper wasn't to far behind, and he had given me a head start. I pressed on the gas harder with my right foot, and the go-kart shot up faster. I could hear Jasper laugh faintly from behind me. A sound emitted from Jasper's kart, it was the same sound that came from mine when I had sped up.
So that's how it was going to be was it.
A curve in the track was up ahead, but I kept straight.
"Alice!" I heard Jasper yell. So caring, I thought, and sighed dreamily.
The curve came and I was still going straight, just as I was about to make contact with the curb I made a sharp turn.
Once I was on a straight lane I let myself look at Jasper, he still hadn't come to the curve and was staring at me in shock, as he drove, his hands clenched on the steering wheel.
I drove on with a tight grin on my face, and then something made my devilish smile vanish.
My kart started to slow down.
What was happening?!
I stomped on the gas again, and it jumped a foot ahead of itself. I screamed, but then it started to slow again.
"What's happening?" I whispered to myself, worriedly.
It came to a stop and I was inches away from the curb. I yelped as it suddenly shut off.
I squeezed my eyes shut, and opened them again, only to find myself in the same situation.
I looked behind me desperate to find Jasper. He sat in his kart staring at me, amusement in his blue eyes, a wide smile on his face. His kart was parked at the end of the lines of karts. He was getting out and walking towards me, that same goofy grin on his face.
When he reached me he laughed, probably at my horrified expression.
"What are you so sunshine-y, smiling about? I broke the go-kart!" I exclaimed, turning in my seat to look at his gorgeous face.
"Sweetie you didn't break it." His tone was caring. "It shuts off after a little while. The guy told you to turn in, I guess you didn't see him."
"Oh my God!" I groaned, getting out and trudging toward Jasper. I threw my head into his chest, and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I'm such an idiot!" I started banging my head on his chest. I looked up at him. He had a sad expression on his face.
"Alice," he said, cradling my face, "You are not an idiot. You're brilliant, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Knowing you, you probably wouldn't allow that anyway." He chuckled.
I got on my tip-toes, and Jasper bent his head down still holding my face, and kissed me.
After the electrifying feeling ended, we got back in our karts, and Jasper gave the man two more of our tickets.
We went around the track again, and again. When this time was up, and the karts stopped, I didn't throw another fit. I silently congratulated myself for that. The man verbally congratulated me for that.
Jasper gave the man our last two tickets, and he went back for one more.
This time we got a double ticket, which cost almost as much as two tickets.
A double ticket allowed us to get one two-seated go-kart. I sat on the passenger side, and Jasper drove.
He drove with one hand despite the fact we were in a go-kart. His other arm was draped across my shoulders. I leaned my head into him. I breathed in his scent.
He smelled fabulous, it wasn't a cologne though. His natural smell was so sweet. If they could bottle his smell, and sell it as body spray for men, I would buy it so I could sniff it in the bathroom like it was a drug.
I almost fell asleep. My eyelids were closing as we came to a stop, the thing that made my eyes snap open was Jazz's smooth voice in my ear, excitedly asking, "Wasn't that fun?"
I nodded and smiled at him. He took my hand, and before we got out of the kart I kissed his cheek.
I had to remind myself to stay awake on the ride home on the back of Jasper's motorcycle. If I were to fall asleep...well, that just wouldn't be very fortunate on either of our parts.
He walked me to my front door at the porch, and we sat down on the swing together.
"I had fun today, Jazz," I told him.
He smiled slightly. "I'm glad," Jasper whispered. He tucked a piece of my hair, behind my ear.
It was silent for a few minutes.
"We should do this again sometime," he finally said.
"Most definitely."
His expression was thoughtful. "Is Tuesday night okay? I would say tomorrow, but I have a baseball game."
"Tuesday is great. Can I come watch you play tomorrow?"
"Sure. It's at three o'clock, at Wilson High."
I smiled at him, "I'll be there."
He grinned, at there was a short silence that Jasper broke.
"You probably need to go now," he said, quietly.
"Yeah. Goodnight, Jazz," I whispered.
He leaned his forehead against mine, and whispered back, "Goodnight, Ali," and began to kiss me softly.
When he pulled back, I grabbed him and latched my arms around his neck.
"I. Don't. Want. You. To. Go." I said, punctuating each word with a kiss.
"Neither do I," he said quickly before I pecked him again. "But. I. Have. To."
I quit kissing him and held him close. I had handfuls of his shirt clenched in my hands, and he was smoothing down my hair with one hand, the other hand wrapped carefully around my waist.
I finally grasped the idea that he did have to go. I allowed myself one more kiss, long and passionate before I uttered the small word that I didn't ever want to say to him, "Goodbye."
"Bye, Ali," he said in my ear.
We were acting like we wouldn't see each other for years and years to come, but in truth—today is Sunday—I would see him tomorrow. But I guess that's just how it is when your in love. And there was no doubt I was in love with him. And I was still falling.
Hard.
AN. WARNING!!! My inner romantic has been unleashed! Be afraid, be very afraid. Dear God! Now I sound like something from a Tim Burton film.
Since I am lonely and have no love in my life, I will unintentionally do to Alice and Jasper what I wish my life had. Yes, in case you were wondering it indeed does suck to have my love life.
Sorry if I'm sounding kind of emo right now, like Athena says, "I'm depressed."
So yeah, I hope you liked this chapter, I loved writing it.
Please review!
