Chapter12

Ezekiel's POV

I was floating aimlessly through dark blue water. I wasn't wearing a shirt so I checked to see if I was wearing any pants. I was thankfully. I had no idea why I was floating through water like this, but it felt very relaxing. I wondered if there would be anyone else in this aimless ocean of nothingness. I could see myself reflected in the top of the water like a mirror. The usual shine that was in my emerald-green eyes was gone. My eyes were a shady type of jade green that had no shine in it at all. I felt free, but totally alone. I wasn't sure that I liked it; I wish that Jenny was here for companionship. Actually, anybody would be good, but I'd want Jenny to be with me most of all.

I woke up and gasped. My breathing was ragged; I felt scared, but the dream was not scary at all. "Whoa," I said; an edge of surprise touched my voice. "That was a weird dream."

I heard a light knock on the door. "Who is it," I called at the door.

"It's me," I heard Jenny's song-like voice say. "Can I come in?"

"Sure, I'm decent."

She opened the door and walked in. She was already dressed—obviously in clothes that Alice had picked out. She looked completely gorgeous! "Hi Zeke," she said happily. "How are you this afternoon?"

"Afternoon," I said in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon Zeke."

"Are you sure about that; I can't have slept for that long!"

"Well, you did."

I looked at the clock on my bedside table and surely enough, the clock read, '1:06'. "Did I miss breakfast," I asked.

"Yes you did," she said; my goodness she was chipper today.

I sent my power out towards her to show her my thoughts. She blushed and giggled as I showed her the thoughts of her that I had when she wasn't around. She walked over to me and sat down on the bed. She leaned toward me and kissed my neck. "You know something Jenny," I said with my head rested on top of hers. "You look absolutely, positively beautiful today."

"Well thank you Zeke," she smiled gleefully at me. My answering smile was full of nothing but adoration. She looked back at me with the same look on her face. We lost all sense of where we were and quickly leaned towards each other. We closed our eyes and our lips met; softly at first and then passionately. She pulled me closer and kissed me more urgently. We unlocked from each other and for the first time today, I got a good look at her.

She was wearing all pink clothes and a denim jacket; all culminating to the conclusion that Alice had dressed her. Her hair was long and flowing and completely natural—not done up at all. I looked down at myself and noticed the way that I was still in my pajamas—just some long pajama pants; no shirt involved. That might explain why I wasn't wearing a shirt in my dream. She giggled when she actually got a good look at me. I blushed a billion different shades of red; that was something I got from my mom's genetics.

"I'm g-gonna go t-take a sh-shower," I said nervously; still blushing.

I walked to the bathroom and took off my pajamas. I turned on the hot water and stepped in there. The hot water felt really good after the cold, dark feeling that my dream had left behind.

I heard Jenny's voice coming from downstairs. I walked into my room and changed into black jeans and a black hooded sweater. I walked down the stairs and saw Jenny alone downstairs. I remembered that everyone was going hunting today; Jenny and I were completely alone today. I ran to her silently. I spun her around and locked my lips with hers. She was shocked at first, but then her eyes closed and she kissed me back fiercely. I stopped for a minute, but she kept on going; she still fiercely kissed me and I fell over. She then noticed and stopped. "Er, sorry Zeke," she said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry about it," I said; smiling and blushing at the same time. I heard her stomach growl. "Now," I began. "Do you want me to make the both of us something to eat, or would you like to assault me again?"

"I think something t-to eat would be the right thing."

"You'd rather eat something?"

"I never said that, it's just a little more responsible."

"But you'd rather be irresponsible?"

"Yes."

I chuckled. She is so perfect, I thought adoringly. I was making pancakes and waffles for the two of us to eat; and lots of them too. I sat down next to her at the coffee table in the living room. "Thanks," she said happily.

"You're very welcome," I said; an edge of adoration saturated my voice. She moved closer to me. She wrapped her arms around me. I lowered my face to her neck and held my lips there for a while. "You missed," she joked. She lifted my head up to face hers. We intertwined together even tighter. Her tongue traced my lips. That action tempted me so much. I kissed her passionately. She kissed me back even more fiercely then before. "Enough," I mumbled through the kiss.

"Pardon," she asked; also through the kiss.

"Enough!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Zeke."

"It's okay, let's just eat now."

"Alright then, let's eat."
