Chapter Eighteen
Author's note: Two things, one, WARNING: graphic kiss scene (nothing else but if I got kids reading this you do NOT need to figure out how to French kiss, ok?) and two this chapter is dedicated to cause I get an review from SM all the time -
What did I say? Better question, why in hell did I say it? I just took my heart and handed it to him and said 'here, please inflict massive amounts of pain!' I couldn't figure out what'd come over me, DID I really love him? Apparently so because every time I looked at him I felt light headed and my heart beat faster, my eyes hazed and I started seeing those little cartoon hearts everywhere. I blinked.
"What did you just say?" Karen asked again in her full on fae queen garb. Jareth's eyes flashed, he didn't even seem like he was there anymore. He had this far away look.
"Uh," I turned away from Jareth and stared at Karen "that you'll do anything when you love somebody."
"Who's David?" Jareth asked quietly and I turned and gave him an odd expression.
"David?" I repeated.
"Yes," he nodded "he kissed you in the spring." I didn't understand at first and then I realized that he could remember my poem.
"You remember?" I whispered and he smirked. "Oh good lord," I teased "I was just getting used to you this way too."
"Excuse me?" Karen griped "but I need to know what you just said."
"I just told you!" I snapped "would you pay attention? I said-"
"I know what you said," she growled "what did you MEAN?"
"Karen," Jareth's voice was harsh "I don't think right now is the best time for you to be harassing your step-daughter, I think you'd better come back another time." Karen griped a bit but vanished nonetheless. I turned over and Jareth smirked at me. "So what DID you mean?"
"What I said," I muttered. I didn't want him to hurt me, he could too, I knew it very well but he kept pestering me. "Is it not apparent what I meant by it?" I asked "I mean you DO remember things now, what do you suppose that means?"
"I want YOU to say it," he whispered and I froze. It was one of those moments when you're caught between a rock and a hard place and you're not sure what to do. And the rock happens to be closing in on you and you're not sure if you should either yell for help or try climbing out yourself. I went with plan A, that is, I tried until I lost it.
"I," I paused "I meant by it that I, uh-" he looked at me, and even in the dark I could see his smirk. All this time, everything that'd happened and somehow in the mist of it all, he won.
"You uh?" he mocked and I sighed.
"I love you, Jareth," I murmured. Bang, just like that he kissed me. At first I was surprised, every hair on the back of my neck and my arms stood on end but as he deepened it everything seemed to flatten out, including my heart line. I couldn't think, I couldn't function I just kissed him back like it was my only reason for being. You know how people say that your first kiss there's always fireworks, explosions, inc? I think what they mean by that is that your first REAL kiss, with someone you need to be with. I froze for a moment, unable to move when he artfully slipped his tongue in my mouth. I couldn't function, I didn't move, I just sat there a moment and then something took over. I don't know if it was hormones or lust or just the fact that I wanted him to kiss me but I greedily accepted. Moments later he pulled away and stared at me worriedly.
"I'm sorry," he murmured "I shouldn't have done that without asking…"
"Don't be," I shook my head and we both fell silent. I had this terrible fluttery feeling in my stomach and I wrapped my arms around my sides.
"Are you alright?" he asked looking at me and propping himself up on an elbow. I nodded.
"Its nothing," I breathed "my stomach feels kinda-" I didn't finish because he was smirking at me.
"How strange," he chuckled.
"What is?" I asked and he seemed surprised that I didn't know.
"Its strange that I can have this most amusing effect on you, my dear," he murmured "as you have had the same effect on me since I laid my eyes on you."
Author's note: Well, I've got about three jillion stories going - and I'm just fine with that. Conner says I still gotta kiss him though he seems as if he doesn't have the heart to cut me off from writing. I let him come to school with me today (good lord) he already hit someone yesterday for hugging me (they got knocked into a desk) which uh, reminds me to watch who I hug today.
Acantha Mardivey: ok, for the LAST time, it WAS Jareth STOP GLARING AT MEEEEE! Ah, poking of the butt, that's funny- though I'm sure you don't think so. I do :giggles: anyways, Will shall not be sicked on me because its not my fault, its Conner's. And he says he's not hiding on EVERY girl, just the ones he thinks will make me jealous. :laughs: yeah right.
LadyAniviel: YES! Finally she said it! And of course I can't kill Jareth! Good lord woman, I don't need threat reviews lol.
Firesblood- addicting people is fun. And please, don't strangle me, they way I'm going I'll be reincarnated as an ant or something (and THEN how am I gonna No I don't wanna kill you, you're a good reviewer and such a nice person! But yeah, Karen DOES kinda screw up the moment hum?

Conner: yeah, SHE'S the real push over, in fact if you look up pushover in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of- OW! Why'd you hit me?

Hippie99: shoot, I'd run in front of a bus:giggles: but that's not the point… no wait… it is.
Theshadowcat: Conner's being very nice lately (which worries me because now he's up to something) I think it's a word… I'm not sure. Humm, maybe the next chapter will have some fluff. -
SenchourAri: Ick, Karen.
Conner: perhaps, would it be you giving the hug:wiggles eyebrows:
Geez Conner stop hitting on people. You gotta excuse him, he's sorta… himself lately.
Sightlessmuse: Aw, your so nice. And I DID get some sleep this weekend, only to find my muse annoying the hell outta me. But he keeps telling me as well, take a break. I'm not sure if I should listen. I might cut it down to a chapter a night Lets take a deep cleansing breath and relax. I'll update. - if my muse will let me of course.
Divine Dark Angel: I shall writith some moreith for thou. - Well, I DID kill her, now didn't I?

Avalon-blackandgreen: I know! I love him damnit. Anyways, glad I've inflicted so many different emotions upon you. -
Sightlessmuse (again): yay, picture! And believe me, I could tell a LOT about the religion :winks secretly: And yeah, due to my recent annoyance with a muse of mine I don't know how well I'll be doing.
Conner: Well if you'd just kiss me!
Me: anyways, ignore him. I suppose I need to send you that info and the pic. But uh, you gotta tell me what its at (AOL, Yahoo, inc) cause it never shows up on the damn review. :sighs:
