EIGHT DAYS LATER.
¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤
Miss Parker slowly started to regain consciousness. Moaning, she managed to get to a half sitting position, leaning on her elbow. She glanced at Jarod and couldn't help but smile as she realized it had worked. They were back in their own bodies! As she got up on her feet, her head started to ache and the dizziness almost made her fall. Pressing one of her hands against her head she walked up to Jarod and sat down next to him.
"Wake up," she said, shaking his shoulder. Nothing happened.
"Jarod!" ¤¤¤ Please wake up. ¤¤¤
Jarod mumbled something and rolled over, continuing to sleep. Miss Parker rolled her eyes.
"GET UP DAMMIT!" she yelled. Jarod opened his eyes and gave her a sleepy look.
"Did you say something?" he mumbled. ¤¤¤ Is it morning already? ¤¤¤
"Yes! I said... GET UP! Are you going to sleep forever?" ¤¤¤ Gee ¤¤¤
Jarod smiled. He got up on his feet, looking around.
¤¤¤ Now I remember! ¤¤¤
"It worked!" he stated.
"Yeah, I am aware of that."
"So how does it feel to be yourself again?" Jarod asked with a grin.
"It couldn't be better," Miss Parker said, her voice slightly sarcastic. She walked up to a chair and collapsed onto it.
"This is even worse then the last time," she mumbled. ¤¤¤ I'm in hell! ¤¤¤
Jarod walked up to her, giving her a confused look. But soon he realized what she was talking about.
"Having a headache?" he asked, knowing the answer. Miss Parker moaned in response.
Jarod rounded the chair and began rubbing Miss Parker's shoulders.
"What are you doing?" ¤¤¤ Mmmmm, that feels nice. ¤¤¤
"What does it feel like I'm doing?"
Miss Parker sighed. "It's my head that aches, not my shoulders," she said.
"It helps, just shut up and relax." Jarod smiled. ¤¤¤ Admit you like it, I know you do. ¤¤¤
¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤
LATER. IN A HOTEL.
¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤
Miss Parker was lying in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She suddenly heard the shower stop and soon Jarod entered the room.
"Your turn," he smiled.
Miss Parker climbed out of the bed, stretching her legs before she walked up to the bathroom door. She stopped and gave Jarod a look.
"What are we going to do?" she asked.
"About what?"
"This whole situation, do you still want me with you when we are back to normal?" Miss Parker asked, looking down at her feet. ¤¤¤ Say yes! I'll die if you don't me... really... ¤¤¤
"It's not like you can return to the Centre after what we did," Jarod stated. ¤¤¤ Of course I want to be with you. ¤¤¤
Miss Parker just nodded in agreement. She glanced at him. ¤¤¤ Say it! ¤¤¤
"We'll talk more about this later," Jarod said.
"But I want to know." ¤¤¤ SAY IT! Please just tell me. ¤¤¤
Jarod smiled. "Of course I want you to come with me," he said. Miss Parker let out a breath she wasn't aware of holding.
"Good!" she said with a small smile. ¤¤¤ Thank god, don't you dare scare me like that again. ¤¤¤
Jarod stood there smiling as he watched her disappear into the bathroom, closing the door.
¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤
EARLY NEXT MORNING.
¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤
Miss Parker slowly opened her eyes. She looked around wondering where she was. This was not the bed, it was much more uncomfortable, and something was sounding strange. Confused, she managed to get to a sitting position.
¤¤¤ What the hell? How did I get here? ¤¤¤
"Parker! You're awake!" Miss Parker glared at him.
"Jarod, what the hell am I doing in the car? Where are we going?" she asked, still a little confused.
Jarod looked at her in the rearview mirror. "I'm sorry, I knew you had a headache and I didn't want to wake you," he said. ¤¤¤ Please don't be mad. ¤¤¤
"So how did you manage..." Miss Parker started but cut herself off as she realized what a dumb question it was.
"You carried me here? I'm going somewhere in my nightclothes?" she said. ¤¤¤ I can't believe it! ¤¤¤
"Yeah!"
Miss Parker sighed. After a lot of struggling she managed to climb over to the passenger seat.
"You look cute in that," Jarod smiled, glancing at Miss Parker's light blue pajama.
"Shut up!" Miss Parker snapped. ¤¤¤ This is embarrassing. ¤¤¤
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that," she said after a while.
Jarod gave her a puzzled look.
"Are you apologizing?" he asked amused. ¤¤¤ This is new! ¤¤¤
"Yeah, what's the big deal?!"
As they had driven for a while, it suddenly started to rain. As the raining got worse, Jarod decided to stop and wait till it had passed.
"What are you doing?" Miss Parker asked. ¤¤¤ Don't tell me you don't know how to drive in the rain. Gee. ¤¤¤
"I don't want to drive in this weather," Jarod stated. Miss Parker rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. They just sat there for a long time, listening to the rain that was pouring down over the car. It was dark but soon lightning's lit up the sky. Miss Parker looked out through the window; this sudden change had made it much colder. She shivered, crossing her arms over her chest in an effort of getting warm.
"Parker."
Miss Parker turned her head. "What?" ¤¤¤ Hold me... ¤¤¤
Jarod didn't answer. Instead he placed one of his arms around her, pulling her close to him. ¤¤¤ Yes!!! No... I can't do this... ¤¤¤ Miss Parker tried to fight his hold of her, but Jarod was too strong.
"It's okay... relax," he soothed, placing both of his arms around her. "I don't want you to be cold." ¤¤¤ Please, just let me do this. I love you. ¤¤¤
"Jarod... I..." ¤¤¤ I'm so weak; I can't let him do this. ¤¤¤
"Shhhh."
¤¤¤ Oh what the hell, just one time. ¤¤¤
Miss Parker gave up and leaned back against him. She closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth. Being close to Jarod was what she'd always wanted. It felt so nice; she just didn't manage to fight anymore. Instead she snuggled up closer against him, letting him know that she liked it. She sighed happily, this was one of the best days of her life! She wished this moment could last forever...
