"Case, get up," Amy said softly. I rolled over and looked at her. I
pulled the covers over my head to block her out. She sat down on the edge
of the bed and tapped my foot. "You know, it's 4:00."
"So what?!" I grumbled.
"Well, a certain Shane Helms will be here in 2 hours. And unlike Jeff, he's normally on time." I shot up and looked at her.
"2 hours to get ready?! I gotta take a shower, get dressed, do my hair, do my make-up. Oh hell!! What am I gonna wear? What the hell am I gonna do with my hair?" I leaped out of bed and ran for the door. Amy jumped up and grabbed my arm.
"Do you want me to help you with your hair? I would love to help you pick out an outfit," Amy said. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly.
"Amy, has anyone every told you that you are an angel?"
"No, but I always had a feeling I was." I laughed as we walked out of my room. "Now get in that shower!"
I quickly got in the warm shower. After my half hour shower, I wrapped a towel around me. I opened the door and looked right into Jeff's face.
"Whoa. That's something you don't want to go surprising people with," I teased grabbing his face.
"Ha ha. Very funny." I pushed my way past him and into the bedroom. He followed me and watched as I dug through my bags for clothes. "So, you must be really excited about tonite."
"Yeah. I am. Now I only have an hour and a half to get ready. Could you possibly send Amy up?" I asked trying to push him out.
"I get the feeling you don't want me in here."
"No Jeff. I just love having men watch me get dressed," I said sarcastically. Jeff smiled mischievously and walked down the stairs. I shook my head and closed the door. I sat on the bed and waited for Amy. Soon after Jeff left there was a knock on the door and Amy walked in. "So, any ideas?"
"I know exactly how to do your hair. The clothes, not a clue." She sat next to me on the bed. "What are you guys doing?"
"I really don't know. He said something about going to dinner and maybe dancing. I don't know about anything else." "What about a cute little skirt?"
"One, I don't have a skirt. And two, I'm not a skirt girl."
"Hmmm, well, let me see your jeans." I handed her the bag that I kept most of my jeans in. She looked through them and found a faded pair of flairs. "These. They would look awesome with a pair of black combat boots. And you can wear mine."
"Thanks. What would I do without you?"
"Probably go naked!!!" She laughed as I took the jeans from her. "Okay now onto shirts. Tank top. Especially if there's a chance you could go dancing. What about that one that has the slash across the top and the gems along it?"
"That would be awesome! I need you around more often to dress me. I don't know how I do it everyday without you," I laughed as I pulled the shirt out. I ran into the bathroom and quickly got dressed. I went back in the room and put my belt on. I spun in a circle for Amy and she whistled. "Now what are you going to do about my hair?"
She laughed and led me into the bathroom. She pulled out a curling iron and plugged it in to heat it up. She sat me down on the toilet and left. A few minutes later Jeff walked in with Amy's boots.
"Alright. Amy, what the hell kind of make-up are you using?" I asked taking the boots from him.
"You're just the regular old comedian tonite!" Jeff said. "Amy is talking to Matt. She asked me to bring these up to you."
"Thanks. So, what do you think of my outfit?" I asked pulling the boots on.
"You look really nice. He'll love it." He smiled sweetly and I smiled back.
"Thanks." Amy walked in and pushed Jeff out. She shut the door and began working on my hair. When she was done I had a head full of blond, blue streaked ringlets. Whenever I moved my head they bounced.
"You look awesome!" Amy said as I began working on my make-up. I wore gray eye shadow and black eyeliner. On my lips I used a sparkly peach color. I wore medium sized silver hoop earrings and a silver Libra necklace. Around 6:00 I began to hear the guys talk. Shane's voice suddenly appeared.
"Oh my God!! He's here. I'm not ready." I said frantically looking around my room for my cell, id, some cash, and gum.
"Don't worry. It's okay for the girl to be late on the first date!" Amy smiled and headed downstairs. I quickly grabbed my stuff, checked myself in the mirror one last time, and calmly walked downstairs.
"Dude, girls love the hurricane deal. I've had tons more girls since I started with it than I did when I was just Sugar Shane," Shane said as I stood in the entrance to the living room. Matt looked up and me and smiled. Shane gave him a weird look than did a double take at me. He stood up and walked over to me.
"Hey," I said calmly.
"You look beautiful," he said taking my hands.
"Thanks. If it wasn't for Amy, I wouldn't be wearing anything right now!"
"Well, that wouldn't be such a bad thing either." Shane winked at me and I rolled my eyes. He was wearing a black wife beater, baggy blue jeans, and boots. He was dressed very casually and I was glad I didn't got to too much trouble to figure out what I was gonna wear. Yeah, riiight!!! "Are we ready to go? I figured we could go for a picnic at the park. Then out to the clubs!"
"That sounds great." We started walking to the door as Matt stood in the entryway with his arm around Amy. Jeff leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. "Lata guys!"
"When can we expect you to be home?" Matt asked.
"Whenever I get home," I said as we walked out the door.
Shane walked me to the car and held the door open for me. I climbed in and shut the door. He ran over to the driver's side and started the car. The music of choice in the radio was Puddle of Mudd. We drove to a nearby park and he opened the door for me to get out. He grabbed a basket and blanket out of the trunk of the car and took my hand as we headed for a hill to sit on. He laid out the blanket and we sat down.
"So we are eating tonite, Mr. Helms," I asked trying to peak into the basket.
"Ah, now that's a surprise. Close your eyes." I did as was told and closed them. I heard him moving things around and opened my eye slightly to see what was going on. "Nope, no peaking!"
"Come on Shane. It smells really good." I took in a deep breath and could smile chicken. He held something up to my lips and I took a bite. "Popcorn chicken?!"
"Yeah. I stopped at KFC on the way to pick you up. I remembered you saying something about loving the stuff. So I figured we would eat that on our first date. This is a lot more romantic than standing in the restaurant waiting for our food."
"Shane, this is very romantic. I love it!" He smiled as he fed me more chicken. I couldn't believe that he had remembered me telling him about loving popcorn chicken. It was one of my favorite foods. "Okay, now, it's my turn to feed you. You need to eat too!"
He laughed as I picked up some chicken in my fingers. He leaned in and took it out of my hand with his teeth. The whole picnic idea was sweet and romantic. I couldn't think of anything else I would have rather done. Once we finished the bucket of chicken Shane sat next to me and put his arm around me. I rested my head on his shoulder and watched as little kids played on a swing set. It reminded me of my ex-boyfriend Eric. We worked together one summer at a park. We spent a lot of our time on the swings, but when the summer ended, we parted and never spoke to each other again. I saw him a couple times after, but it was like he didn't recognize me. So, I moved on with my life.
I lifted my head and he looked at me. I smiled playfully then took his hand and stood. I pulled him up off the blanket and dragged him to the swings.
"What are we doing?" he asked.
"Playing on the swings!" I sat on a swing and started moving my legs back and forth. He stood with his arms crossed and smiled at me. "Come on!! It's fun!"
He shook his head and sat on a swing next to me. "I can't believe I'm doing this. I don't remember the last time I was on swings!"
"It's fun though, isn't it!?" He nodded.
After about 15 minutes of playing on the swings, he pulled me off and we sat back down on the blanket. I looked at him as he searched through the basket. He pulled out a box of strawberries, a jar of chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. He raised his eyebrows suggestively and I laughed.
"I didn't know if you liked chocolate covered strawberries or not, so I brought the whipped cream. Then I figured we could use the whipped cream later!" I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"Well, you're lucky cause I happen to love chocolate covered strawberries. And as for the whipped cream, we'll just have to see how the nite goes!" I smiled a half smile and his eyes grew wide. He dipped a strawberry in the syrup and fed it to me. I took a bite as chocolate dripped off. He wiped the chocolate off my chin with his fingers as I fed him one. He then put half a strawberry in his mouth as I bit the other half. Okay, so maybe for a first date it was a little on the sensual side, but that was just the kind of guy Shane was. He was a little forward without being over the top. I liked that. He went for what he wanted. I was perfectly happy being what he wanted.
"Okay, so now that we have no more strawberries, let's go hit some clubs," Shane said licking some chocolate off his lips. We put everything back in the basket and headed for Shane's car. I stood next to the trunk as a couple kids walked over to us.
"Oh man! You're the Hurricane!" one of them said excitedly. Shane shut the trunk and looked at them.
"That I would be, my fair citizen." I giggled as he put on the Hurricane act.
"Can we have your autograph?" the other asked handing him a pen and piece of paper.
"Of course! What are your names?" He began to sign the paper and then waited for their names so he could personalize it.
"My name is Kenny and this is my little brother James."
"Well, there you go citizen Kenny and citizen James. I hope to be seeing you again soon. And let me know if you find any evil doers!" Shane said happily. They shook their heads and then looked at me.
"Are you Jeff Hardy's girl?" Kenny asked.
"Yeah, Mystic Angel?" James asked.
"Yes, I'm Mystic Angel," I replied.
"Can we have your autograph too?" James asked handing me the pen and paper that Shane had just signed. I smiled and nodded. I handed it back to them and crossed my arms. "Thank you so much."
"Not a problem. Now me and this hurri-chick need to be going. Be good. I don't want to hear that you have joined the dark side!" Shane said. He was really good with his character. He certainly didn't disappoint the fans. I smiled as they walked away to their parents jumping for joy that they just got the Hurricane's autograph.
"They were sweet. You were sweet," I said as we got in the car.
"You have to be awesome to your fans. If you're not then you'll lose them. You'll get them soon. I know you will," he said smiling.
"I hope I got some as sweet as them."
"Case, you've already got them. I know that from this moment on, they'll be watching the t.v. for you. And every time you're on they'll be screaming and cheering because they actually got to meet you."
We pulled out of the park and drove to a nearby club. It was only 8:00 so there really wasn't anyone there. We decided to walk down to a convenience store and get something to drink. When we walked in Shane was bombarded by little teenybopper girls. They were the spitting image of Britney Spear and Mandy Moore. I stood back and laughed.
"Oh my God!! It's Sugar Shane!! I'm in need of a Sugar fix!! You rock my Hurri-world!!" That's all that came from their mouths. Shane stood there smiling trying to sign as my autographs as possible. They were nothing like the two cute boys we met at the park. They were like rabid dogs. I fully expected one of them to walk away with a piece of Shane's hair hanging out of her mouth.
I walked in the back where the drinks were and grabbed a Dragon fruit Sobe. I went back to the group of girls and there was now only a couple older girls standing there. They seemed to be polite and didn't scream out any sexual fantasies to him. He seemed to enjoy them. When the last girl walked away he walked over to me shaking his head.
"Well, you've had quite the productive nite, now haven't you?" I grinned as he grabbed a soda and paid for the drinks.
"As much as I love my fans, there are just some that should be beaten with a stick. I mean, gees, did they have to scream out they're every dream and fantasy about me? ICK! They're like 16 years old!" he exclaimed as we walked back to the club which now had a line at the door.
"Oh come on. You know you wanted some of them. Young, innocent, cute," I said smiling.
"Okay, so yeah, but they're so young."
"Shane, I hate to tell ya. But I'm not much older than some of them." He looked at me strangely and confused. "I'm only 18."
"You are not. You can't be. You've got to be like 21. Otherwise you wouldn't have gotten into the club the other nite." I started laughing as I pulled out my id.
"Shane, I'm 21 on here. I got hooked up with a fake id," I whispered as he examined it.
"Wow. I really thought you were older." I shook my head. "Oh who cares? Age doesn't matter, right? As long as we have fun together and are into each other, what does age have to do with anything?"
"Are you trying to say that you like me?" I asked innocently.
"Yeah, I am. I really do like you. We seem to make a good pair. I wouldn't have asked you out if I didn't."
"What do you like about me?"
"Everything. You're strong, sweet, intelligent, sensible, and so damn cute!" I laughed as he took my hand in his. "You're just the kind of girl, I'd go for. I just like you."
He moved his face close to mine and we were about to kiss when we were interrupted by the bouncer. "I need to see your ids." We flashed him our ids and walked into the club. Shane walked up to the bar and got us a couple sodas as I found a table in the upper level. We sat across from each other as we watched the club fill up. The later it got, the fuller it got.
"You ready to do some dancing?" Shane asked grabbing my hand.
"Am I ready to dance? Hell, I'm always ready to dance!" We walked down to the dance floor and stood in the middle. Lights were flashing, Pink was blaring from the speakers, and people were grinding all around us.
Shane pulled me close and we began to grind. It wasn't that innocent, middle school dance grinding either. It was hot, attraction grinding. While we danced it seemed like no one was around us. We were the only ones on the floor. I knew at that moment that I could easily fall in love with him. Whenever Shane's around I feel nervous, but outgoing. He makes me feel like the only one in the world. None of my other boyfriends made me feel that way. I really hoped that he was feeling the same thing I was.
"Hey, ya wanna go for a walk?" Shane asked in my ear. He bit my ear softly as I nodded. We had been dancing for a few hours even though it only felt like minutes. When I looked at my watch it was already 1:00. We got in the car and drove back to the park.
"Gees, I recognize this place," I said as we walked down the path hand in hand.
"You mean you've been here before? With who?!" he joked. I laughed, as I got closer to him. I shivered as he put his arm around me. "You're cold."
"No, I'm just chchchillyyy," I said as my teeth began to chatter.
"Oh yeah. Chilly." He rolled his eyes as he rubbed my arm softly with his hand. I continued to shiver and he pulled me closer to him as we walked to a pond. "Do you want me to go get my jacket out of the car?"
"No, I like you right here warming me up." I smiled as he wrapped both of his arms around me. He held me tightly as it got colder. "Okay, the body heat thing isn't cutting it."
"I really didn't think it would. Come on, we'll go get my jacket." We walked back to the car and he draped his jacket over my shoulders. We walked back to the pond and sat down. The moon reflected off the pond as crickets chirped in the grass. I leaned against Shane as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. I looked up at the stars and saw one fall. 'Please let him kiss me' I thought, hoping the falling star would make the wish come true.
"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" Shane asked. I sat and thought for a second. The best answer to his question would be 'right here with you', but I decided to give him a serious one.
"Australia. Or Paris. Or Athens. Or Rome."
"Okay, I believe I said one place."
"Or Cancun. Or New Zealand. Or Egypt."
"Okay, okay. I get the point. You want to travel." He laughed as I shook my head.
"I have so many places I want to go. I really want to travel. These places have always interested me."
"You'll get there someday. I'm actually going to Australia next weekend. I'm really excited about it."
"I know, and I hate you. You better bring me back something."
"I'll bring you back me."
"Can I have a stuffed kangaroo instead?" I teased.
"Well, gees. Here I am thinking I'm being all romantic and stuff like that and then you go and ruin it! I'm not gonna bring you back anything at all for that remark!" he said removing his arms.
"I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please!!!" I pleaded.
"Yeah, alright. I'll bring you back something." He put his arms back and yawned. "It's getting late, huh? I should probably get you back home and get myself home."
I nodded as he helped me off the ground. We got back into the car and made our way back to the Hardy house. We drove up the driveway and he put the car in park. I sighed and looked over at him.
"I had really good time tonite," I said.
"Me too. I'd love to go out again," he replied. We smiled and he moved a ringlet of hair out of my face and moved his hand down my cheek. "I'll call you soon. If I don't call soon enough, call me. I really want to see you again."
"You know, it's gonna be really hard for us to date. I mean, I'm on RAW and you're on Smackdown." He put his hand on my leg and looked into my eyes. His brown eyes were sweet and dark. They were the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen.
"Yeah well, we may be seeing each other more often than you think, very soon," he said softly.
"Why do you people keep saying stuff like that? Jeff's been saying the same thing. Now, what's going on?"
"I can't say anything. Just trust me. It's pretty good, okay?"
"Yeah, alright. I'll take your word for it." He smiled and moved towards me. He put his hand on my face softly and pulled me close. Before I knew it his lips were softly touching mine. When we parted, I smiled at him and he smiled back. The kiss was short, but sweet. When our lips touched I felt warm and butterflies. No other person has made me feel like that during a kiss. I've had some good ones, but that was definitely the best.
"I'll call you," he said sweetly. I shook my head and got out of the car. He made sure I was in the house before driving away. I smiled as I walked up the stairs quietly. It was 2:30 and I knew there would be no one up. I walked into my room and flipped on the light.
"AAHH!!" I screamed as I saw someone sitting on the edge of the bed. I looked closely and saw the green hair. "Jeff?! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I wanted to make sure you got home safely."
"Why the hell are you sitting here in the dark?" I asked as I sat next to him.
"I thought that I could get some sleep. I didn't think you'd be back this late." He sighed. "Nice jacket."
"Huh?" I looked at the jacket that Shane had let me wear. I took it off and laid it on a nearby chair. "I was cold so Shane let me borrow it. You can go home now if you want. I'm home perfectly safe."
"I can see that. Actually, do you mind if I stay here?" he asked. I pulled out a pair of netted shorts and a short tank top and started walking towards the door. I looked back at him sitting on the bed.
"I don't care. You can if you want." I walked out and got changed in the bathroom. When I went back in the room Jeff was already under the blankets. I smiled and climbed in next to him. I rested my head on his chest and we fell asleep.
"So what?!" I grumbled.
"Well, a certain Shane Helms will be here in 2 hours. And unlike Jeff, he's normally on time." I shot up and looked at her.
"2 hours to get ready?! I gotta take a shower, get dressed, do my hair, do my make-up. Oh hell!! What am I gonna wear? What the hell am I gonna do with my hair?" I leaped out of bed and ran for the door. Amy jumped up and grabbed my arm.

"Yeah. I am. Now I only have an hour and a half to get ready. Could you possibly send Amy up?" I asked trying to push him out.
"I get the feeling you don't want me in here."
"No Jeff. I just love having men watch me get dressed," I said sarcastically. Jeff smiled mischievously and walked down the stairs. I shook my head and closed the door. I sat on the bed and waited for Amy. Soon after Jeff left there was a knock on the door and Amy walked in. "So, any ideas?"

He laid out the blanket and we sat down.
"So we are eating tonite, Mr. Helms," I asked trying to peak into the basket.
"Ah, now that's a surprise. Close your eyes." I did as was told and closed them. I heard him moving things around and opened my eye slightly to see what was going on. "Nope, no peaking!"
"Come on Shane. It smells really good." I took in a deep breath and could smile chicken. He held something up to my lips and I took a bite. "Popcorn chicken?!"

"Case, you've already got them. I know that from this moment on, they'll be watching the t.v. for you. And every time you're on they'll be screaming and cheering because they actually got to meet you."
We pulled out of the park and drove to a nearby club. It was only 8:00 so there really wasn't anyone there. We decided to walk down to a convenience store and get something to drink. When we walked in Shane was bombarded by little teenybopper girls. They were the spitting image of Britney Spear and Mandy Moore. I stood back and laughed.
"Oh my God!! It's Sugar Shane!! I'm in need of a Sugar fix!! You rock my Hurri-world!!" That's all that came from their mouths. Shane stood there smiling trying to sign as my autographs as possible. They were nothing like the two cute boys we met at the park. They were like rabid dogs. I fully expected one of them to walk away with a piece of Shane's hair hanging out of her mouth.
I walked in the back where the drinks were and grabbed a Dragon fruit Sobe. I went back to the group of girls and there was now only a couple older girls standing there. They seemed to be polite and didn't scream out any sexual fantasies to him. He seemed to enjoy them. When the last girl walked away he walked over to me shaking his head.
"Well, you've had quite the productive nite, now haven't you?" I grinned as he grabbed a soda and paid for the drinks.
"As much as I love my fans, there are just some that should be beaten with a stick. I mean, gees, did they have to scream out they're every dream and fantasy about me? ICK! They're like 16 years old!" he exclaimed as we walked back to the club which now had a line at the door.
"Oh come on. You know you wanted some of them. Young, innocent, cute," I said smiling.
"Okay, so yeah, but they're so young."
"Shane, I hate to tell ya. But I'm not much older than some of them." He looked at me strangely and confused. "I'm only 18."
"You are not. You can't be. You've got to be like 21. Otherwise you wouldn't have gotten into the club the other nite." I started laughing as I pulled out my id.
"Shane, I'm 21 on here. I got hooked up with a fake id," I whispered as he examined it.
"Wow. I really thought you were older." I shook my head. "Oh who cares? Age doesn't matter, right? As long as we have fun together and are into each other, what does age have to do with anything?"
"Are you trying to say that you like me?" I asked innocently.
"Yeah, I am. I really do like you. We seem to make a good pair. I wouldn't have asked you out if I didn't."
"What do you like about me?"
"Everything. You're strong, sweet, intelligent, sensible, and so damn cute!" I laughed as he took my hand in his. "You're just the kind of girl, I'd go for. I just like you."
He moved his face close to mine and we were about to kiss when we were interrupted by the bouncer. "I need to see your ids." We flashed him our ids and walked into the club. Shane walked up to the bar and got us a couple sodas as I found a table in the upper level. We sat across from each other as we watched the club fill up. The later it got, the fuller it got.
"You ready to do some dancing?" Shane asked grabbing my hand.
"Am I ready to dance? Hell, I'm always ready to dance!" We walked down to the dance floor and stood in the middle. Lights were flashing, Pink was blaring from the speakers, and people were grinding all around us.
Shane pulled me close and we began to grind. It wasn't that innocent, middle school dance grinding either. It was hot, attraction grinding. While we danced it seemed like no one was around us. We were the only ones on the floor. I knew at that moment that I could easily fall in love with him. Whenever Shane's around I feel nervous, but outgoing. He makes me feel like the only one in the world. None of my other boyfriends made me feel that way. I really hoped that he was feeling the same thing I was.
"Hey, ya wanna go for a walk?" Shane asked in my ear. He bit my ear softly as I nodded. We had been dancing for a few hours even though it only felt like minutes. When I looked at my watch it was already 1:00. We got in the car and drove back to the park.
"Gees, I recognize this place," I said as we walked down the path hand in hand.
"You mean you've been here before? With who?!" he joked. I laughed, as I got closer to him. I shivered as he put his arm around me. "You're cold."
"No, I'm just chchchillyyy," I said as my teeth began to chatter.
"Oh yeah. Chilly." He rolled his eyes as he rubbed my arm softly with his hand. I continued to shiver and he pulled me closer to him as we walked to a pond. "Do you want me to go get my jacket out of the car?"
"No, I like you right here warming me up." I smiled as he wrapped both of his arms around me. He held me tightly as it got colder. "Okay, the body heat thing isn't cutting it."
"I really didn't think it would. Come on, we'll go get my jacket." We walked back to the car and he draped his jacket over my shoulders. We walked back to the pond and sat down. The moon reflected off the pond as crickets chirped in the grass. I leaned against Shane as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. I looked up at the stars and saw one fall. 'Please let him kiss me' I thought, hoping the falling star would make the wish come true.
"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" Shane asked. I sat and thought for a second. The best answer to his question would be 'right here with you', but I decided to give him a serious one.
"Australia. Or Paris. Or Athens. Or Rome."
"Okay, I believe I said one place."
"Or Cancun. Or New Zealand. Or Egypt."
"Okay, okay. I get the point. You want to travel." He laughed as I shook my head.
"I have so many places I want to go. I really want to travel. These places have always interested me."
"You'll get there someday. I'm actually going to Australia next weekend. I'm really excited about it."
"I know, and I hate you. You better bring me back something."
"I'll bring you back me."
"Can I have a stuffed kangaroo instead?" I teased.
"Well, gees. Here I am thinking I'm being all romantic and stuff like that and then you go and ruin it! I'm not gonna bring you back anything at all for that remark!" he said removing his arms.
"I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please!!!" I pleaded.
"Yeah, alright. I'll bring you back something." He put his arms back and yawned. "It's getting late, huh? I should probably get you back home and get myself home."
I nodded as he helped me off the ground. We got back into the car and made our way back to the Hardy house. We drove up the driveway and he put the car in park. I sighed and looked over at him.
"I had really good time tonite," I said.
"Me too. I'd love to go out again," he replied. We smiled and he moved a ringlet of hair out of my face and moved his hand down my cheek. "I'll call you soon. If I don't call soon enough, call me. I really want to see you again."
"You know, it's gonna be really hard for us to date. I mean, I'm on RAW and you're on Smackdown." He put his hand on my leg and looked into my eyes. His brown eyes were sweet and dark. They were the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen.
"Yeah well, we may be seeing each other more often than you think, very soon," he said softly.
"Why do you people keep saying stuff like that? Jeff's been saying the same thing. Now, what's going on?"
"I can't say anything. Just trust me. It's pretty good, okay?"
"Yeah, alright. I'll take your word for it." He smiled and moved towards me. He put his hand on my face softly and pulled me close. Before I knew it his lips were softly touching mine. When we parted, I smiled at him and he smiled back. The kiss was short, but sweet. When our lips touched I felt warm and butterflies. No other person has made me feel like that during a kiss. I've had some good ones, but that was definitely the best.
"I'll call you," he said sweetly. I shook my head and got out of the car. He made sure I was in the house before driving away. I smiled as I walked up the stairs quietly. It was 2:30 and I knew there would be no one up. I walked into my room and flipped on the light.
"AAHH!!" I screamed as I saw someone sitting on the edge of the bed. I looked closely and saw the green hair. "Jeff?! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I wanted to make sure you got home safely."
"Why the hell are you sitting here in the dark?" I asked as I sat next to him.
"I thought that I could get some sleep. I didn't think you'd be back this late." He sighed. "Nice jacket."
"Huh?" I looked at the jacket that Shane had let me wear. I took it off and laid it on a nearby chair. "I was cold so Shane let me borrow it. You can go home now if you want. I'm home perfectly safe."
"I can see that. Actually, do you mind if I stay here?" he asked. I pulled out a pair of netted shorts and a short tank top and started walking towards the door. I looked back at him sitting on the bed.
"I don't care. You can if you want." I walked out and got changed in the bathroom. When I went back in the room Jeff was already under the blankets. I smiled and climbed in next to him. I rested my head on his chest and we fell asleep.
