The second tale of love, this time with J&A. Enjoy!
Jeremie and Aelita's First Date
"Oh
wow, I can't believe this is happening!" Jeremy said excitedly.
Odd and Ulrich watched him pacing up and down his room. "Chill
Einstein, otherwise you might explode, and then whose going to go out
with Aelita?" Odd said.
At the mention of her name Jeremy's
face went red, which made Odd laugh which made Jeremie just blush
even more.
"Come on, leave Jeremie alone. He's nervous enough
as it is." Ulrich said.
He grabbed Odd by the shoulders and
steered him towards the door.
"And don't forget to tell us
all the details tomorrow!" Odd shouted as Ulrich pushed him
away. Jeremie sat down on his bed and took a deep breath, trying to
calm down. "OK Jeremie, just take it easy. It's just a date. No
big deal right?"
'Wrong' he realised. Groaning, he fell back
on to the bed.
At Yumi's house, things weren't any better.
"Come on Aelita, calm down. It's
no big deal. Lipstick, yes or no?"
"Uh, Yes! No?
Maybe?" Aelita said, wringing her hands. She was sitting on
Yumi's bed, trying to decide what make up to use. And failing
miserably.
Yumi sighed and sat down next to her. "What's
wrong Aelita, why are you so worried?" Yumi asked, holding her
hand. "It's just... what if something goes wrong? What if I do
something to make him hate me? or embarrass him?"
she said,
tears forming at her eyes. Yumi smiled and wipe the tears
away.
"Aelita, I don't think Jeremie could ever hate you,
even if he tried. He loves you so much. And as to embarrassing, well,
between the two of you it'll be a match".
Aelita laughed
slightly and sniffed. "Thanks, Yumi, for everything."
"Hey,
that's what friends are for. Now, how about some perfume?"
At
school, Ulrich was once again dragging someone, namely Jeremie.
"Come
on, Lover Boy, it's time to go" he said, frog marching Jeremie
down the stairs. "Hmm, Can't we do this tomorrow?" Jeremy
asked nervously.
"Uh uh, it's no or never" Ulrich said.
They walked to Yumi's house, and twice Ulrich had to stop Jeremie
from bolting away. He rang the bell, one hand tightly clamped on
Jeremie's arm. "Hey guys!" Yumi said, Aelita hiding behind
her.
"Hi Yumi, everything ready?" "Yep" she
said. She turned, grabbed Aelita, twisted and bumped her out of the
house with her butt. "Have fun!" she said.
"Don't
be out to late." Ulrich said, pushing Jeremie forward into
Aelita. They fell into each others arms, blushing red and eyes wide.
"Good night!" Yumi and Ulrich said, closing the door. For a
few minutes neither Aelita nor Jeremie said anything.
"Uhm,
you look good" Jeremie said, trying to break the awkward
moment.
"Th,Thanks" Aelita said, looking at the ground.
Jeremie sniffed and asked "Is that
perfume?".
"Yumi gave it to me. Do you like it?".
Jeremie blushed and said "Oh yes.
It's very nice."
He offered her his arm and asked "Ready?".
She looked at his face, smiled softly
and took his arm.
They went to the city's shopping center. Aelita
stared in amazement at the bright lights, trying to take in all the
different smells and sounds around her.
She clung tightly to
Jeremie's arm. "Don't worry, I won't let go" He said.
They
went to see something called a movie. Aelita was spellbound by it,
asking Jeremie something about it every few minutes. Afterwards, more
relaxed, they went to a cafe and shared a soda. "Having fun
Aelita?" Jeremie asked.
She sipped on the straw, smiled at
him and said "With you, always" Jeremie smiled and blushed.
Late at night they left the mall. It started raining, but Jeremie
had come prepared.
He opened an umbrella, and together underneath
it they walked, arms around each other. They walked back to the
school and up to the dorms.
They stopped outside Aelita's door.
"Thanks Jeremy, I had a great time"
"My pleasure,
Aelita" Jeremy said. She smiled at him, then kissed him on the
lips.
"See you tomorrow" she said, walking into her
room. In a daze Jeremie walked back to his room. He closed the door,
pulled of his shoes and sat down on the bed.
For a few minutes he
sat there, looking at the floor.
"YES!" he shouted, jumping up and down on the bed.
