Hey I know this chapter took a while but I wanted to make it a longerish one seeing as this is the FINAL chapter of this series. Don't cry, I know it's sad. lol, shaquell. but yes, it is done. its not the best ending but i really want to make a new but with a different perspective. Which mean, I'll be using "I" instead of "you". Interesting, really. I like experimenting. Oh and I also am thinking of doing a story where Jade is the main character over girls being the majority in mine. Well, please review to me, since this is the last one. I'll be needing some idea though for my new one cuz im a little stuck at the moment but I'll think of something that will go along with the new evanescence CD which is fabulous by the way! anyways...on to the story!
:Jade's point of view:
You awoke the next morning with Aimee lying peacefully at your side. You smiled and laid your head your head next to hers and inhaled the scent of her hair. You felt her rustle a little before she rolled over and lay feet away from your face. You watched her eyes flutter open revealing two emerald orbs looking up at you.
"Morning beautiful," you commented as she looked up at you questionably. She sat up a little bit revealing her bear chest. She quickly noticed and slid back under the covers and asked quietly, "Did we, um," she stuttered as you answered for her by pressing your pointer finger to her lips and saying, "Yes. I must add that you were very good by the way."
Her mouth fell a little open as she said in disbelief, "That was real?"
You laughed and nodded. She made an awkward face, which looked liked she was trying to smile and frown at the same time.
You saw goose bumps appear on her shoulders. Then you said, "It makes you kind of wonder if the morning after is always this awkward,"
You nodded and said, "No kidding. I don't really know what I'm supposed to say right now other than, 'woooow'"
"Works for me," you said as you sat up and put your arms behind your head. You smirked at her, who stared questionably at you.
"What?" she asked. You then stuck your tongue out and said, "Nothing. It's just that things are going to be different from now on is all. Because now, whenever I look at you, I'll know that I've seen you naked. Hehe,"
Her jaw dropped and she smacked you over the head. She then said, "I thought we were at least going to be mature about this, I mean, god. You act like such a kid sometimes."
You looked up at her with your puppy dog face and she made a twitching look and said, "God, don't look at me like that. You're going to make me give in again. How come you always do that to me?"
You shifted and turned towards her and put your hand on your cheeks and smiled and cutely said, "I just have that masculine edge, don't I?"
She coughed and said, "Masculine? You wish you were masculine! You're far too girly to even consider yourself generally masculine,"
You raised an eyebrow as if offended and said, "So does you completing me make you rather the opposite of feminine?"
"I am very feminine thank you!"
You coughed loudly and said, "I can tell…"
You frowned and said, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing…" you smiled and scooted over near her and placed your hands on her cheeks and kissed her sweetly.
You then pulled away and said, "Trust me, you sure KISS like a girl. I'm not too sure about anything else."
She sighed and said, "I thought boyfriends were supposed to boost my confidence not make me worse."
You smirked and said, "Oh, so now I'm your boyfriend? This could just be a one-night stand, you know? I'm not always this forgiving."
She glared at you evilly until you weakened and said, "Nah, I'm just messing with you. I love seeing you mad! It's so cute!"
You squeezed her lovingly and kissed her on the cheek as you slid over to get dressed. She shyly scooted over and began to do the same, when you heard a knock at the door. You put a shirt on and put pants over your boxers and went to go answer it.
You hesitated, fearing it might be one of your band mates, prepared to kick your ass for stealing the room for the night.
Finally, you opened it and saw Davey standing there with a huge smile. He didn't say anything, as you just stood there confused.
"What?" you said agitated that he wasn't saying anything to you.
"You locked me out last night. What'd you do?" he said still smiling widely as if he already knew the answer. You made a face and weren't sure how you were going to explain this to him.
"It's okay, I already know. I'm so proud of you, Jadeykins! You grew up so fast!" he cried out and hugged you. You kind of awkwardly stood there until he released you and went to go inside the room further but you grabbed his collar and pulled him back and said sternly, "Hold on a second. Let me check to see if it's safe."
He gave you a weird look as if saying, "Are you serious?"
You backed up and looked around the corner and smiled as you saw Aimee standing up completely dressed in her wrinkled clothes. You giggled at her messy hair but turned and looked at Davey and nodded. He jumped up and ran into the open room and tackled Aimee in a hug causing her to scream and fall onto the bed. You bit your lip to keep from bursting out in dead-on laughter as she got up and mumbled cuss words under her breath and held her head.
"Give me a warning next time before you attack me! Gosh, you guys…" she said playfully. She smiled shyly as Davey recalled, "I cannot believe you guys actually went through with it. I mean, you fought so often and…"
"Yeah, we still do fight but its all in good fun," you interrupted with a smirk. Davey then put his hand on Aimee's head and messed up her hair even worse than it already was causing her to fall back onto the bed laughing. She then regained her composure and sat up with her legs crossed.
"So what's going down today, Davey?" you asked slightly curious. He licked his lips and said, "I don't know. I hope we don't have to do anything…I kind of want to pal around for the day. We haven't done that in a long while."
"We did that two days ago," you said.
He smiled and said, "That's a long time if you ask me…it's really sad to say we've only known Davi and Aimee for 3 weeks."
"What?" you heard Aimee scream when she heard that.
"It's been longer than that, hasn't it?" she yelled. You made a face and looked at Davey. He sighed and nodded.
"21 days yesterday," he gagged out.
"Oh my god, I'm a slut!" she cried out and sank into the sheets. Davey's mouth hung wide open as you made an, "Oh shit!" face.
"Only 3 weeks…you can't hook up with someone after 3 weeks! Jade?" she said sadly.
You walked over to her and sat down next to her and said, "We can break the rules a little. We're just cool like that," before kissing her lightly on the nose.
Davey took a double take and said, "I'm going to have to get used to the idea of you two all over each other. I can barely cope now."
"Ah, go find Davi. I'm sure she'd make you change your mind," Aimee laughed. He made a face and said, "Oh I see how it is. Well fine. Why don't you go take a walk or something so I can have the room back to myself?"
Aimee shrugged and said, "Okay, let's go. It's beautiful out!"
You looked at her weirdly and said, "Its like 48 degrees out there."
She smiled sweetly and said, "I love the fall. It's cool and breezy; it's just plain stunning."
You smiled and stood up. You grabbed a jacket with a hood and slid it over your pink f-minus shirt and zipped it up. She grabbed a sweater vest and put it on and zipped it up halfway before walking over to you and looking up, saying, "Jade, can we go to the park over by the lake?"
You nodded and said, "Sure, anything's fine."
As you were about walk outside your room you snatched your striped orange and yellow scarf and put it on. You heard Aimee laugh and looked down to see her shaking her head.
"You're such a dork," she laughed before saying, "You and your scarf. One of these days, someone is going to choke you with that thing."
"You mean they haven't already tried? I caught Hunter trying to choke me one night a few months ago. Him and his plot for revenge…he'll give up eventually. I'm just too clever for him," you rolled your eyes at your sarcasm and walked downstairs. Notice that you and Aimee have refused to ride elevators since the accident. Hehe.
So yes, you and Aimee walked outside of your prestige hotel and walked across the busy street over to where the other sidewalk was.
:Aimee's point of view:
You smiled shyly to yourself as Jade grabbed your hand as he led you across the street. You leaned slightly on his shoulder as you walked down the sidewalk past several people; not one of whom you looked at their face. You just stared on past them, for you were in your own world at the time.
Your eyes wandered throughout the fields of brightly colored trees filled with oranges and reds and yellows. You looked up at Jade and noticed the reflection from the leaves in his eyes, making them look as if there was a fire in his eyes. His vision then changed from looking at the sky to looking down as you stared. You were caught.
You felt your mouth grow moist as you cheeks turned red and your eyes fell to the ground.
"How are you still not comfortable with me? We've already done everything most couples take forever to do," he said cautiously. You bit your lip and said, "But when the first thing that happens to you is all the way, it only makes the other ones pleasant luxuries for one to have. This is all still new to me,"
"Oh," he mouthed as you walked to a nearby bench and sat down to rest. The two of you had already walked 5 blocks. You leaned against the backboard and comfortably crossed you legs and extended them far in front of you.
"You're going to trip someone," Jade commented. You looked up at him mischievously as he opened his mouth to say something but you turned away and smiled to yourself.
You waited there for a while before you both got up and walked further into the park. You lazily leaned against him and nearly fell over whenever he turned a little bit. He laughed playfully as you smiled nervously.
"Oh Jade, it's like a painting only it's real! I feel so free!" you enthused as you spread your arms widely and fell back slightly expecting to fall into a pile of crisp leaves.
"Wow, be careful, there might be more than just leaves in there," Jade said before he caught you. You looked up at him questionably as he then pointed out a long wooden handle coming out of the pile. You bent down and picked up to see that it was a rake.
"That could've been ugly," he commented before you dropped the rake and threw it away from the pile. You then went and sat down on the ground and leaned up against a tree.
You sensed Jade walk over as he sat next to you and slid his arms around you and held you close to him as you both looked at the view from the hill you were on.
"Berkeley is so beautiful during the fall," you said unconsciously. Jade turned and smiled and said, "I can't remember the last time I took the time to admire the scenery. It's a good thing we decided to walk today."
"Hey, this is random but are you ticklish?" Jade asked you akwardly.
You made a face and said, "I don't know..." before he tackled you and started tickling you ferociously.
"Haha, Jade stop! I'm going to...ahahaha!" you cried with laughter. He smiled as he rested on top of you and said, "You have a really pretty laugh. You should laugh more often,"
You smiled briefly before saying, "Will you let me get up now?"
He laughed and got up and you talked for a while before he popped a question that startled you.
"Will you move in with me?"
You stuttered and said, "Uh...Jade...I...don't know...what to say,"
He continued with, "I mean, I know we like just met and all but I have a feeling things will end up likewise and we might as well get ahead...I hope I'm not overwhelming you."
"Er, just a little," you say.
"Sorry, I know it's early and I'm getting a bit ahead and I don't want to rush things but I really like you..."
"And I like you too, Jade. Trust me; don't worry about getting too ahead. I'm so grateful to be with you now more than ever. I don't think I'd mind living with you someday."
You rested your head on his chest and stared into the pinkish orangey clouds. In this moment, you cared about nothing else in the world. You were in Jade's arms; the only arms you'd ever let yourself remain in.
"Jade," you said quietly.
"Yes, Aimee?" he said making you feel giddy when he said your name. You then looked up and kissed him softly and said, "I love you."
"I love you more."
"Never in a lifetime," you said as you closed you eyes and fell asleep in the arms of grace. Nothing could ever compare...for now...you were completed.
