Chapter Two: Goodnight Moon
Kiva smiled. The whole birthday thing had been fun. She had liked the cake and had even gotten presents. A book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from Coop and a framed photo of Jamie, Coop and herself sitting inside Megas from Jamie. Jamie had told her that Goat had taken it shortly after she had arrived. Kiva laid back on the blanket and stared up at the night sky. The fog had finally cleared and the moon was big and full.
"For someone who spends half the day in space fighting aliens you sure stare at the sky a lot." Jamie said as he plopped down next to her.
Kiva said nothing but she did sit up. "Aren't there stars in the future?" Jamie asked.
Kiva finally took her eyes off the sky and looked at him. "Yes, but so many of the stars are dead or gone that..." But she couldn't finish. She didn't know how to make him understand without sounding like some lame teen movie.
Jamie looked at Kiva for a long time before he spoke up again. "Hey I almost forgot, I got you something else." He said with a smile.
Kiva looked down at the book and photo, secretly still thinking that the book from Coop would be more helpful, she still liked the photo. "Isn't this enough?" She asked still looking down.
Jamie patted his sides for a moment before he realized that Kiva was still wearing his jacket. He leaned in close to her, so close that Kiva thought he was going to kiss her. Panic and anticipation ran though her, it wasn't like she had never been kissed before, she just wasn't expecting it from Jamie. But he didn't kiss her. He just leaned in and slipped one hand into an inside pocket of his jacket. Kiva felt his finger brush up against her side and blushed slightly. His hand was slower to come out of the pocket that it was to come one and Kiva was starting to think that he was purposely running his fingers up her side when he finally pulled out what ever it was he had gone after.
"Here," Jamie said as he pressed something hard and cold into her hand, "this is your real gift from me."
Kiva opened her hand to see a tear shaped crystal with a metal chain. She knew what a necklace was, she just wasn't use to seeing them up close yet. She lifted the necklace up in one hand holding it by the chain. It caught the light from the dying fire and sent dozens of rainbow light burst over the ledge. Kiva's eyes grew wide.
"Its like, stars." She said softly. She turned to Jamie and thanked him.
"Let me help you put it on." He said as he moved behind her. She reluctantly handed over the necklace and he carefully draped it around her neck. Once the clasp was secure he lean forward and whispered into her ear. "All done."
She turned around quickly, surprising them both at how close they were. Kiva began to thank him once more but he placed one finger over her lips to silence her. They leaned into each other, eyes slowly closing and head turning to opposite sides and then just as Kiva began to feel the pressure of Jamie's lips against her own Coop ruined the whole moment by turning Megas brights on.
"Hey!" Coop shouted over the loud speaker. "What's going on."
Jamie and Kiva both rose and looked towards Megas, Jamie with a look of anger and Kiva with one of confusion. "Was I really about to kiss JAMIE?" she thought.
Jamie snatched the blanket off the ground and put out the dying fire before climbing abode Megas. Kiva was already in the back seat and as much as Jamie would have liked to have joined her back there he sat up front instead. It didn't take very long to get to Jamie's in Megas and he mumbled a good bye as he got out and walked in to his home. Kiva claimed his seat and watched out the window as Jamie's house diapered from view. She was so lost in her own mind she never heard Coop talking to her.
"KEY-VAH!" Coop screamed. "You've been sitting in Megas for half an hour."
"So, doesn't it take half an hour for us to get from the cliff to Jamie's and then to here?" Kiva asked as she climbed out.
"Yea, and you've been sitting here for half and hour since we got here." Coop stated. "Hey!" he added as Kiva was beginning to climb the stairs to the upstairs garage apartment she stayed in. "Are you still wearing Jamie's jacket."
Kiva looked down and sure enough she had forgotten to give the jacket back. She shrugged. "He can get it back tomorrow." She said and proceeded to go upstairs to sleep.
Coop shook his head. Tomorrow he and Jamie were going to have to have a nice long talk.
Hey did you like it? Then review and say so. As for the Hitchhiker thing, I thought it would be cute if in a movie someone gave that to an alien and they did not know it was just a book. (Not like it is JUST a book or anything.) I hope you know what I mean. And no this is not going to be one of those stories where two guys like the same girl this is a Kiva and Jamie love story, even though I really don't like love stories.
