Unexpected

Chapter Seven: Almost Normal

The poor boy known as Flash could only nod his head a little at the spectacle before him. Amazing emerald cat eyes glimmering at him with the beginning of a passion that many people dreamed of at night and those others lament losing. This was to be the experience of a lifetime. Suddenly, a romantic side of the red-head showed up and started prompting him to take her out.

He just looked at her; there was no way that he could refuse her. Her snow white locks tumbling down damply and surprisingly in little ringlets down barely past her shoulders and her beautiful rose coloured lips that were playfully puckered a second ago were now innocently smiling. Flash couldn't handle not being able to touch her and so he brought his hand up to her face but hesitated. Could he?

The maiden in front of him gave him the smallest of smiles and he caressed her face just barely, wanting to make her his. He didn't care what trauma she'd been through, he wanted her to be in his arms all the time. Softly whispered as his face was so close to hers, "Come to dinner with me, please my dear,"

Cerulean eyes locked with jade eyes and he smiled at her, "I think I'll call you Jade."

She quirked a dark eyebrow, "Because I'm evil and jaded?"

"Not at all," he shook his head a little and continued to smile, "it's like your old name a little and it suits you. So will Jade come to dinner with me?"

Jinx thought the name over in her mind. Jade, Jade, Jade… it sang to her. It rolled and slid across the edges of her mind and washed over her like the feeling of drinking a steaming cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. Jade, Jade, Jade! She envisioned smiles and laughter. Jade! Jade! Jade! Yes! Yes! This had to be it. Jinx was no longer her name, the very thought of it made her ill! Jade was calling… dare she answer?

Jade slipped her hand into his, "Yes she will."
