Chapter 14

Kissing, Sleeping, Snoring

We landed softly on my bed.. What a place to land! Jareth and I had escaped, we had tricked the tricksters. My first thought was to celebrate with a kiss to this awesome, sexy man in my bed, but I suddenly had this ping of worry in my stomach.

"Robin!" I ran out of my room and into my sisters room. Quickly, I turned the light on and spotted my sister, Robin, sleeping soundly in her crib. I kissed her lightly on the cheek, careful not to wake her. At last, we were safely home...

With a former King still on my bed...

Hurrying back into my room, I saw Jareth rummaging through my arts and crafts drawer. Walking over to him, I took his hand out of the drawer and placed it by his side. My faint smile caused him to think.

"Oh..." Jareth slapped his own face, "The end of Labyrinth means...I have no more magic." Suddenly, he began to sing, "Dance, magic, dance."

I laughed, "Hahaha... What are you doing?"

"Proving that I still have the power to sing. What are you doing?" His attitude was new, fresh, and flirty. I liked it a lot!

"I...am..." I thought for a second then answered in one breath, "goingtokissyou." I leaned in, about to kiss Jareth, but he backed up.

"Hang on. You can't do that."

"Why?" I questioned in a whiny voice.

"Because," He smirked, "I was going to do that." Before our lips got any closer, I heard the worst sound ever...

...The call of my Mother.

"Kara? You alive up there?" She sounded as though she were downstairs.

I freaked out, "GAH! Hide, Jareth, hide!"

"Where?" He looked around the room frantically, "I cannot turn into an owl like I used to."

Pulling him, I forced him to stand in my walk-in closet. "Stay quiet, please." I mumbled before shutting the door.

My Mom knocked on the door, calling, "Kara, your Father and I are home. It's almost midnight, so I'll leave you alone. If you're sleeping, good night. If not, I'll see you in the morning. I'm going to check on your sister."

Stupidly, I called out, "Night, Mom!"

"Oh!" She sounded surprised that I was awake and said, "Good night, honey."

Opening my closet door, I laughed as Jareth was covered in my clothes and hats. "How'd that happen?"

He stepped out of the closet, placing everything of mine back in, "They fell on me. Who was that? Your mother?"

"Yes.. I can't let her know I have a Goblin King in my room. Let alone a man. I need to figure out a way to let you live here with them knowing.. If I don't, they'll kill me when they find you. Either that or I find a tremedously great place to hide you." My words went through one ear and out the other.

Jareth randomly questioned me, "What year is it?"

"It's two-thousand-five." I hid back a chuckle as Jareth's eyes practically popped out of his head.

He cursed under his breath, then said, "I better not then. I was going to ask for you to help me find Sarah, but she's probably married by now. Besdies, I wouldn't want to start a relationship with her.. She's the one who got me into all this trouble with The Powers."

"I kind of helped though. I was the reason the spell cracked. That's what I heard. You fell in love with me, according to The Powers, which broke it."

He towered over me as I fell to my bed, "They said that, did they?" He had a sort of unknown gleam in his eyes.

Nodding of my head..

Unspeakably, Jareth sat on my bed, looking into my eyes. He cupped my chin in his hand and brought my mouth to his. Holy yummiliciousness to the tenth multiple of delectible goodness! We had kissed previously, but this...blew me away. His soft and smooth touch was irresistable. I somehow found myself being pushed by an invisible force onto my bed with Jareth's hand behind my head. Without breaking the kiss, he lifted my legs from the floor and onto the bed so that I was lying down. He hovered over me, breaking the touch for a moment, and gazed into my eyes once more. I definitely liked where this was going.

Instead of pursuing anymore 'action,' Jareth started to wander aimlessly in my room. He would stop to stare at random things, such as my photo album of my high school years or my sticker collection. I wanted him to return to me, but I was afraid to say something. I didn't want to anger him, for if he were to run away, I'd have a bitch of a time to find him. There were too many people living in my hometown, too many buildings, and too much of everything else. Upsetting a former King was also not a bright idea.

Staring up at my ceiling, I felt something brush against my arm. Jareth stood over me, emotionless and blank. Nothing seemed wrong, but nothing seemed right either.

"What are you thinking about, Jareth?" My concern startled him.

Licking his lips, he answered, "I was going to kiss you again, but knew that wouldn't be a great action right now. We need to think out a rational living arrangement. I need to hide, but not if you tell your parents. So, what shall we say to them? I can't very well say I am a foreign exchange student when you are out of high school already...I saw in the photo album that you graduated. But that's irrelevent. What can we say? I sure as hell am not sleeping in the closet."

"For now," I replied while sitting up, "you may sleep on the floor. No one will come in here while the door is shut. That's a rule they luckily never break during the night. In the morning we will determine what's best. If I have to, I will contact my best friend and see if she won't let you stay on her sofa for awhile. She's twenty-three, so she has her own apartment. I met her when a new cd was released. We had been waiting at the store for five hours, and bumping into one another ignited a chat. That bloomed into our great friendship. I know she'll help if I ask, no matter what it is. Unfortunately, I need some sleep. The way you made me hustle today was insane.. I forgive you though. You can take some extra blankets from my closet. I think there's a pillow in there too. Sleep on the right side of the bed, away from the door. Just to be safe."

Jareth comprehended everything I said and grabbed some blankets and a pillow from my stuffed closet. He lied down on the floor and got comfortable. I wished him a good night's sleep and went to bed with my clothes still on. I felt too lazy to change.

As I was about to fall asleep.. Jareth began snoring quite loudly.

So, as any crazy female would do, I shut him up by grabbing his crotch.
