Unexpected

Chapter Six: Pardon my Enthusiasm

The red haired boy known as Flash wouldn't let her move and tightened his grip on her, "No, I like you soaked."

Of course, after those words slipped from his mouth he knew he was in trouble and that he would end up with a red handprint on his face. So he followed Jinx's example and braced himself for the pain that didn't come. He let his eyelids shut and waited for her hand to slap some sense into him and show him he was being a jerk.

But it didn't happen. Instead, something completely unpredictable happened. She sat up in his lap and her hands slid past his face and entangled in his hair as she lowered her lips upon his. And the anxiety he'd had evaporated as the chemistry between them heightened to a point of electricity. He'd always known that Jinx was the girl he'd wanted, but he'd never thought that maybe she'd think he was a guy she'd want.

He'd acted that way of course. Flash had been arrogant and overly confident in himself around her. Somehow he'd convinced himself that if he acted like he knew he was the guy she wanted and somehow she'd think that too. It didn't work. She chose him for her own reasons, and he didn't know what they were and he intended to find out.

The boy's hands felt around her waist and she broke off her lips from his, "I'm all soaking wet, Flash. If you don't stop, the electricity will shock me."

The red haired teenager quirked an eyebrow, "You really want some dry clothes, huh?"

"Yeah, I'm really cold," she said nodding her head ferociously, "and I want some nice, dry clothes. Of course, I don't really NEED them. Just food and water and air to breathe are okay…" she trailed off, hoping he wouldn't think her weaker than he already did. After all, she was still an independent… whatever she was.

Flash laughed, "I knew you would stay, so I got you something."

Jinx boiled inside, that arrogant jerk. She could have refused if she wanted to and she was going to let him know it, "Well, I was also planning on leaving, so don't get your hopes up. This is just a little visit."

A frown tugged at his face for a split second, his ego obviously bruised but he soon recovered, "Well it's going to be one heck of a visit, huh?"

The teenage boy slowly guided the teenage girl to a large closet where there were several empty hangers and no clothing in sight. Jinx was somewhat disappointed. Knowing that she shouldn't be so excited to be given anything but she couldn't help herself from being anxious for the gift. She'd never been given a present before. But before she could think disgustedly about how selfish she was being, Flash pulled out a black dress and a white dress from the very end of the closet.

She felt kind of silly because she should have seen them in the back. The young enchantress suddenly was torn between feeling touched that he bought her the dresses and angry that he actually thought she'd stay before she said she would.

"I'll take the black one," Jinx took the dress from out of his hands and smiled mischievously, "No peeking."

And with that she ran off to go change into the dress. Her teenage companion smirked, knowing soon enough she'd realize why he bought her that particular dress. She was going to hex him into next week for this, but seeing her in the dress would be totally worth it to him.

At least that's what he thought. He didn't expect her to come out of the bathroom with the black low-cut v dress with a smile. The poor boy also did not expect for her to twirl in it and move her hips in that certain way when she walked back to him. The redhead's throat was suddenly dry and he gulped nervously. He was in for trouble and a lot of it.

The enchantress smiled, "Pardon my enthusiasm, but you were right. This is going to be one hell of a visit."
