Part 9.
Jubilee had never really fallen on the car ride home; she was still awake when Lance carried her up the stairs and into her room. As he put her down on her bed she started to feel the fire inside again, she didn't wanna be alone as Lance turned around to head to his own room she grabbed his hand, he turned and looked down at her.
"Don't go" She mumbled.
"You don't feel good?" He asked as he sat himself down beside her on her bed.
"No not really" She said and looked up at him. "Don't go" She asked again and sat up leaning her head onto his shoulder. "Please" She added in a little happier tone, she didn't want to be totally pathetic. Lance just sat there stroking her hair enjoying the moment.
"Maybe you should stay home tomorrow" he said.
"But I don't wanna" She complained. "And besides the concert is tomorrow, you can't stop me from going to see Evanescence I love Amy Lee!"
"Can you listen?" Lance asked. "You said the same thing today and look what happened!" He said holding her by her shoulder looking at her.
"I just need to have control" She told him. "I almost did it today I didn't let it all out"
"It doesn't matter…" Lance begun. "What if you get hurt…?" She looked up at him.
"I have history first period tomorrow" Jubilee told him. "I´ll go and do my presentation with Kurt and then I will go home" Lance nodded, it was not like she needed his approval but he seemed really concerned and it sounded good to her to.
"What about the concert?" he asked her.
"If I rest almost the whole day it should be okay" She said with a sigh. "I´ll be okay" she added as she saw his face. Lance looked at her, she looked so beautiful but the again he had always thought that, he felt himself being pulled towards her and decided it was time to go.
"Meet me after history and I will drive you home" He told her before getting up to leave. "Night Jubs"
"Night" Jubilee managed before he closed the door behind him then she could hear him slam his door pretty hard. She lay down with a sigh; she hadn't wanted him to go. Yeah she had done it fallen for Lance Alvers.
She had admitted having feeling for him and Pietro but lately the feeling for Pietro was more of friendly feeling, but the feeling for Lance on the other hand just kept growing. It was like when she saw him even though she did it everyday she got butterflies in her stomach like a 13 year old with her first real crush, and when he touches her she just wanted to pull him close…in more then a friendly hug.
But Lance was just like her, distance, bad past, lost of love once, no trust. She looked down at her grandfather's old book and picked it up. Jubilee hadn't really believed in anything, her parents hadn't lived by any special religion well they had gone to church on Sunday's but it was like only because everybody expected them to.
She opened the book and looked over a few pages.
"The spirits will come for you in the time of need" She read out load, it was written in English and judging by the handwriting the person who wrote it had just learn to write and probably speak English. "When you leave this life your spirit will join those of your ancestors" She read a little further down the page. "Live your life by giving what you take" she read before putting the book down beside her, Rain jumped up on the bed purring as she went up to Jubilee wanting attention.
"What do ya think Rain?" She asked the kitten. "If I asked these spirits for Lance would they give him to me?" She said and smiled, Rain looked up at her making a small noise.
"Yeah your probably right, and besides grandfather always told me never to upset the spirits" She told the cat with a small laugh. "And I wouldn't want him coming back from the grave giving me the "evil eye" now would I?"
She sighed and pulled the covers over her and Rain.
"Night Rain sleep tight" She said before closing her eyes falling asleep in the matter of minutes.
Lance slammed his door in anger as he entered his room. Why did he half to run away everytime he got close to her?! He was so stupid! He sat down in an old chair leaning back with a heavy sigh.
It was just hard; everybody had always let him down. As soon as he had start feeling safe somewhere they had taken it away, and as soon as he had start liking somebody they had let him down…or called him a "hood" he added mentally.
But then again he knew Jubilee wasn't like that, she had been thru basically the same thing he had although much worse.
He had heard her cry from her dreams at night, he knew what kind of things OZT had done to her and it was just sick. Every cry she cried made him wanna go to her, but the thought of her sending him away telling him to go, stopped him like it always did. He stood up and went over to his bed lying down.
"Get over yourself and do something about it or she will be gone" Pietro had told him just the other day and he was right, he knew he was right. What to do? He thought before closing his eyes to try and get some sleep
The Next Morning.
Jubilee had gotten up early that morning to finfish of her work for the presentation and she wanted to get in time to school to find Kurt before class. She collected her work and the old book and rush out to the jeep where Lance and the others were waiting.
"Just remember to meet me after first class, okay?" Lance told her as they got out of the car.
"Chill L.A I´ll be fine" She told him. "I gotta go and find fuzzy now, bye" She said and took of before any of the four boys could say another word. She rushed thru the hallways until she reached her locker where Kurt stood picking out stuff from his own locker.
"Kurt!" She called to him, he looked up at her.
"Hey I didn't know if you would come today" He said giving her a weird look. "Are you okay"
"Yeah I´m fine and I told you that I was gonna finish the job at home"
"Yeah but you didn't seem to be yesterday you just blew up a wall and took of" Kurt said, Jubilee quickly covered his mouth with her hand looking around to see if anyone had heard.
"Are you crazy?" She half whispered in anger to him. "You want to send an angry mob after me?!" Kurt who couldn't speak since Jubilee´s hand still covered his mouth just shock his head no.
"Good now should we do the presentation like you said yesterday?" She asked and removed her hand allowing Kurt to talk again.
"Yeah sure but still……" He begun but didn't had a chance to finfish as the school bell rang in. Jubilee sighed and looked at Kurt before heading into the classroom. She took her regular sit next to Kurt and waited for Ms. Tanner to come, wishing that she would let them go first but of coarse that was not the case. They had been put last at Ms. Tanners "list".
After many strange and funny presentation from their classmates it was finally their turn, the both of them went to stand infront of the class.
"Okay Jubilation, Kurt start with telling us what your work is about" Ms. Tanner told them "And like the others I will grade you as you do it". Kurt and Jubilee looked at each other and then they begun. They explained how changes needed to happen other wise they wouldn't have a future, how changes thru history had taken them to where they are now and how you shouldn't fear them. And then Jubilee read a story from the book and passing thru class so that they could see actually history in writing. After the book had been returned Ms. Tanner started to clap her hands and was soon fallowed by the rest of the class.
"That was great, you two really but your minds into this" Ms. Tanner told them. "I´m very proud of you" Then she turned to the class. "Proud of all of you, this was what I wanted you to see that it's more to history then dead kings and hard cold facts" She finished the sentence just as the bell rang out. She then turned back to Jubilee and Kurt.
"I´m gonna give you two an A" She told them and scrambled something down at her papers. "You can go now" She told the class and everybody got on their feet's and headed out included Kurt and Jubilee.
Jubilee stayed outside the classroom waiting for Lance as she had promised.
"Your not coming to English?" Kurt who suddenly stood right before her asked, Jubilee was about to answer when Jean, Scott and Kitty came over to them.
"Jubilation right?" Jean asked her, they only knew her as Xapphire so it wasn't odd that they didn't really know her name.
"Jubilee" She corrected Jean before turning around to leave.
"Wait" Scott said and grabbed her arm, Jubilee turned around to face them.
"Let go" She said or rather demanded, Scott let her go and sighed.
"Look we just want to talk to you" He said.
"About what?" She asked.
"Look we like totally know that it was you who like trashed the aula and class room" Kitty piped. "And like Scott and Jean like totally like saw you last night" Jubilee wasn't really caring about that for the moment she was to busy trying to figure out if it was really possible to say "like" so many times in one sentence.
"We just want to help you" Jean said.
"Oh yeah, what are ya gonna do?" Jubilee asked sarcastically. "Go back in time and stop him?" She blurted out without thinking.
"Stop who?" Jean asked her, Jubilee realist what she had done and bit her lip lightly. She was just about to turn around and go when she tripped on her own feet´s falling into Kurt's arms, she was just gonna say that she was sorry when a voice interrupted her.
"Jubilee!" Jubilee turned around and saw Lance coming down the hall; he stopped by her side and gave Scott a death glare.
"What do ya want Summers?" He asked.
"Like chill Lance we were just talking to her" Kitty said putting one hand on her hip.
"I wasn't talkin to you" Lance snapped. "So what do ya want?" He asked angrily.
"We know that she was the one who trashed the aula" Scott said. "And we came home last night we told Professor Xavier and he wants to talk to her"
"Well to bad Summers because she´s leaving" Lance said and put an hand on Jubilee´s shoulder and started to guide her out, normally she would have hit him over the head for doing something like that but for the moment she just wanted to get away. Lance continued to lead her until they reached the car, Jubilee got in the car next to Lance who slammed the car door hard behind him. After about five minutes of silence Jubilee looked over at him, Lance kept his eyes on the road looking really angry. It could be because he had just seen Scott Summers but she had a feeling that there was more to it.
When they reached the house Lance jumped out the car slamming the door even harder then before leaving Jubilee in the car, she slowly got out not saying a word you didn't wanna be piss of Avalanche when he was already in a bad mood. She fallowed him inside the house and dropped her backpack on the floor before heading into the TV-room where Lance had thrown himself on the sofa.
"Are you mad at me or something?" Jubilee asked standing by the doorframe. Lance just made a noise that sounded like a growl. He was pissed how could he not be? He had been going down the hallway to look for her to find her in the arms of a freaking X-man! No he wasn't mad he just wanted to kill the blue little demon!
"Lance?" He stood up and looked at her.
"You could have told us you know, instead going behind everybody's back!" He yelled.
"What?" Jubilee said and then she got it, it most have looked completely wrong when he came and saw her in Kurt´s arms, it most have looked like she was hugging him and talking to the other on friendly terms. "But…" She started.
"Your unbelievable Lee, come on Kurt? You gonna join them to?!!" He yelled again.
"Yeah that came from the right mouth!" Jubilee screamed back since he didn't wanna give her a chance to explain herself. "And for your information Kurt is a very nice guy but that doesn't mean that am gonna throw myself at him! And second why do you care if…" She stopped before finishing the sentence. OMG he was jealous! Lance was jealous!
"Your jealous" She said or rather told him, he looked strait at her, his cheeks getting slightly flushed.
"No am not!" He said.
"Yes you are and besides you didn't even give me a chance to explain" She said. "They came up to me I turned to leave then I slipped and fell on to Kurt, I would never…it's not even him I…" She said before turning away from him, leaving him there heading up to her room, to tired to argue with him anymore.
But she had just closed the door behind her when Lance opened it.
"What did you mean by that?" He asked still sounding kind of pissed.
"Lance I really don't have the…" She began.
"You said It's not even him I…" He said. "What did you mean by that?" He asked not sounding angry anymore. Jubilee turned to face him with a sigh. She might as well just say it, just tell him and have it done.
"That it's not even him I like, that's what I meant" She said in a voice so he would know that she meant him, she crossed her arms over her chest looking at him feeling like crying, why couldn't he see that she wanted him? Was he totally blind? It was quiet for awhile.
Lance studied her carefully; she couldn't mean him…right? But it seemed that she did, he didn't know what to say, the girl who he cared for so much had practically said that she liked him to and he didn't know what to say.
"Jubilee…" he started.
"Never min forget it okay" She told him turning away again, not wanting him to see the tear going down her cheek, it was obviously he didn't feel the same way so she just wanted him to go. She could feel him coming closer and then she was turned around to face him, but she still looked down.
He lifted his hand and stroked her cheek lightly, feeling her soft skin under his rough palm.
Fire went thru her at his touch.
Just a little wail ago she had been so confused about her feelings but now it was all so clear more clearer then anything had been in a long time.
She closed her eyes and put her hand on top of Lance keeping it on her cheek, she then opened them again looking up at him.
His face had a serious look mixed with one full with concern, then without warning (which she didn't mind) he bend down and catch her lips into a kiss. Jubilee kissed him back right away without thinking twice every fiber in her body told her that this was right and it felt good.
She opened her mouth slightly allowing his tongue to enter her mouth as she did the same to him.
Lance didn't want to stop, he never wanted it to end, she tasted so sweet so good and he didn't ever wanna let her go.
Finally they drew apart to catch their breathe, both of them were flushed and breathed heavily. Then Lance froze as he looked down at her, what if she tell him to go, to get the hell out of there, that it was just a mistake because she was tired and didn't think right? He had been let down to many times in his life by people who pretended to care for him Kitty included, but somehow this had felt real enough to try. He loved her, there he said it or atlist thought it, he had admitted it to himself anyway.
He was just about to say "Sorry" when she pulled him down on top of her for another kiss and another and another.
Then he stopped, she looked at him slightly confused.
"I love you" he managed to say.
"I love you too" She said and smiled as he pulled her closer for another kiss.
(And this is were I´m suppose to warn all you young once about the so called "sexual material" that waits, its noting bad promise and I wouldn't even put out this warning if it was up to me. And this is the "worse" I´m aloud to do here )
He pulled her up again and his hands slipped up and under her tank top stroking her back as she tore of his west, he had many more of those anyway and his west were probably the last thing on both of their minds at the moment.
Lance hands went further up until he had remover her top and bra his hands never leaving her skin,
Jubilee had already removed his t-shirt enjoying the whew infront of her as Lance started to kiss her from her belly and up.
"Are you sure?" Lance asked her softly.
"Oh yeah" Jubilee replied and drew him in for another kiss.
"Isnt there something we need?" He asked never stopping touching her, Jubilee shock her head no.
"Pill" She explained and smile before kissing him again. Hey she was no virgin she hadn't slept with many guys but still you can never be too careful.
His hands traveled down her sides from her breast until he reached her pants, he slowly begun to unbutton them, then he put his hands on her hips and started to pull them of. He slowly laid her down and she slipped out of her jeans leaving her only in black tangs.
Lance studied her for a moment before he bent down and kissed her, her small hands went down and he helped to remove his pants throwing them on the floor where most of their other cloths had ended up.
Hot kisses with passion and hot touches with pleasure fallowed as the last piece of their clothing came of and that was in turn fallowed by low whispers of names and moans of pleasure.
(Yes I know but I had just watched an romantic film)
