Hi everyone,
I'm really grateful for all the reviews and alerts, they all mean a lot to me, but when I don't update in a month, believe me, it doesn't mean I'm abandoning this story or not planning to update ever again! Please, be a bit more patient, since I'm drowning in school and work, and this way I'll be more relaxed and write better! I'll never leave Jaspenor lovers alone! ;)
This chapter is an important one! I'm not gonna say anything else...
The songs used in this chapter are "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey and "Talking Body" by Tove Lo.
ENJOY!
Chapter8_Electric
Eleanor walked into the room, trying so hard not to radiate sadness off herself, and turned around to watch him leave, again. He was nervous, she could feel it, but she ignored it. He muttered: "Good night, Princess…"
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
I'm feeling alive
Moonlight was shining her face as Eleanor gave him a broken smile and something clicked deep inside of him. And Jasper realized something in the darkness of her room. He wasn't ready to give up. Not one bit. And he rushed to her before Eleanor could even comprehend his words: "They say third time's the charm…"
Oh my God
I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above, all sizzling like a snare
Jasper's lips crashed on hers and they both felt that electrical shock that's supposed to happen with only one person in your life. Her eyes shut on instinct and she gave herself completely to the kiss. His lips were tenderly but firmly claiming hers and nothing felt sweeter than that.
Honey I'm on fire
I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
Jasper thought his whole body was on fire but nothing seemed to cool him down more than the feeling of her lips. Their bodies were filled with an indescribable energy and it seemed to take both of them high off the ground. Higher than the moon itself.
I'm feeling electric tonight
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
The kiss lasted only for a couple of seconds but it seemed like a couple of years had passed when Jasper slowly pulled away from her. Eleanor flicked her eyes open, looking into his, and her breath was gone once more.
Oh my God
I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above, all sizzling like a snare
Jasper only whispered: "Wow…" Eleanor chuckled quietly but then whispered back: "We should've done this a long time ago…" He nodded his head in agreement but kept quiet. Their faces were still inches apart but neither of them made a move.
Honey I'm on fire
I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
Eleanor was dying to taste him again but she was afraid to make a move. Jasper looked down on the ground as he whispered: "I think I should leave…" Eleanor wanted to object, to kiss him, to not let him leave, but she just nodded her head.
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best
Jasper raised his head and took another look at her, taking her all in, and marched out of the room. Eleanor heard the lock for the hundredth time but instead of feeling miserable, a smile was planted on her face. A sad one, but still.
I've got that summertime
Summertime sadness
Got that summertime
Summertime sadness
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She woke to the sound of birds chirping and instead of groaning as usual, she smiled from ear to ear. Sunlight was caressing her face but she didn't pull the covers on her face and instead let the warmth gently tickle her.
She was still giddy from the kiss and she couldn't even hide it. It was obvious from every move she made. She skipped to the bathroom, washed up and changed clothes, all the while humming a song that was stuck in her head.
Love, give me love
Anything you want I'll give it up
Lips, lips I kiss
Bite me while I taste your fingertips
She stared into the mirror and saw flashbacks from last night and quietly giggled. She could almost feel his lips on hers, soft but demanding, and so warm. She let her fingertip touch her lips and her mouth opened in need.
Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
She shook her head as her imagination got the better of herself. She really didn't need to imagine him shirtless, on her bed, or even worse, imagine what it would be like to be touched by him, right there. She sighed shakily and sat on her bed, her mind clearly somewhere else.
If you love me right, we fuck for life
On and on and on
There was a knock on the door and she jumped in her place. She quickly ran a hand through her hair and watched as the door slowly moved. Her anticipation quickly faded as Kyle marched in carrying her breakfast.
Kyle was not wearing his mask anymore and he was all smiles but when he saw Eleanor's face, he asked: "Are you okay?" She nodded and gave him a fake smile before she asked: "Where's your brother?" Kyle put the tray down and said: "He went to the city to run some errands."
Eleanor couldn't hide her disappointment any longer so she let out: "Oh…" All the giddiness she felt just moments earlier was wiped clean with one sentence. Jasper had left, just like he did all those times before. Kyle frowned and asked: "Anything you wanna say to him, you can tell me."
Eleanor couldn't hold back her tongue when she muttered: "I can't kiss you, can I?" Kyle gasped loudly and that was when Eleanor realized what she had slipped up. Kyle exclaimed: "You guys kissed?" Eleanor shushed him even when she knew no one else was there.
Kyle pulled a chair out, sat and asked excitedly: "Last night? In the kitchen?" Eleanor pursed her lips but decided there was no harm in telling Kyle what happened so she explained: "We were about to, in the kitchen, but thanks to you it was delayed until we were here."
Kyle's eyes widened and he asked: "Did you…?" Eleanor didn't understand the question but then she saw Kyle's eyes focusing on her bed and she yelled: "No, we didn't! It took all this time to admit we wanted to kiss each other, man."
Kyle let out the breath he was holding and chuckled: "I had to make sure. So, how was the kiss?" Eleanor felt herself blush, something she wasn't very familiar with, and let out: "It was barely a kiss, only a couple of seconds…"
Kyle sensed something and asked expectantly: "But?" Eleanor bit her lower lip and quietly confessed: "It was the best kiss of my life…" Kyle sighed happily and she felt her cheeks turn even redder but then a cold voice dragged her down from her high: "And who exactly did you have this magical kiss with, Princess?"
Eleanor and Kyle turned their heads quickly and saw Jasper and a masked man standing in the doorway. Eleanor's breath caught in her throat as she realized Danny was there. She didn't know how much of her conversation he had heard so she averted her eyes to look at Jasper.
His expression was cold but she could sense how tight his jaw was. His eyes were shooting fire towards her. He was angry. She had disappointed him again. Danny raised his eyebrows, waiting for an answer, and Eleanor got herself together and said: "Just some Duke you wouldn't even know."
Danny chuckled amused and walked into the room. She could notice Kyle tense up and she gulped hoping nothing would go wrong. Danny took a look at him and asked calmly: "Where's your mask?" Eleanor watched as Kyle opened his mouth to explain but nothing came out so she tried to cover for him:
"It fell on the floor the other day so I told him to be done with it." Danny turned around and asked: "Is that so?" She nodded confidently and saw Kyle showing him a kind smile behind Danny. Danny ordered while he stared at Eleanor: "Kitchen. Now."
Kyle ran out of the room and Danny chuckled once more before taking his icy eyes off of Eleanor. Eleanor quickly turned her head to the door and saw Jasper standing exactly where he was. He wasn't looking at her but she was sure he was doing it on purpose.
Danny's back was turned to her when he ordered: "Take off your top." The words reached her ears but she couldn't make sense of them. She noticed Jasper step inside the room and stare at Danny in shock. He turned around and asked: "Are you deaf? Take off your top, NOW."
Jasper stepped in before Eleanor could yell: "What are you doing, man?" Danny gave him a look and ordered: "Stay out of this, Jasper." Jasper shut his mouth in response but he turned to look at Eleanor, whose pleading eyes were killing him from the inside.
Danny barked: "Am I going to have to take it off myself? Is that what you want?" Eleanor gulped but didn't move an inch. Danny went to step her way that Jasper stood in front of him. She only heard him: "What are you trying to do? Are you fucking insane?"
Danny huffed and finally gave an explanation: "I'm just gonna take a couple of pictures to send to her family. It's for a good cause if you think about it." Eleanor took in a breath, so loud, both men turned to look at her. She was a bit shaking, just thinking of her father seeing that picture.
Jasper turned around and reasoned: "At least, let me. You scared her and let's face it, the girl hates you." Danny rolled his eyes and sat down as Jasper turned around and walked towards Eleanor. Eleanor couldn't believe Jasper wasn't objecting to any of this. He was taking her clothes off himself.
As he cautiously looked into her eyes, he shivered at the amount of hatred Eleanor was showing him. His eyes saddened but it didn't melt Eleanor's anger. He knelt in front of her and his fingers went to grab the edge of her shirt that she growled: "Don't. Touch. Me."
Jasper looked up and saw flames of rage dancing in Eleanor's eyes and however he tried to plea with his own, it seemed like it wasn't working. Eleanor just thanked God that she had a bra on and quickly pulled her top off herself.
She ordered icily: "Take your fucking pictures."
So how was it guys? FINALLY, they kissed, but then...
Leave a review!
Love,
