I think the title says it all. Short chapter, I know, but more will be up soon!
"I feel like such a cliché," Alice groans, "but let me change into something more comfortable."
Hatter's wide grin makes Alice blush. "Alright then, hurry, if you must." He's feeling a little silly himself. Both of them are far more excited than they thought they would be. They're both adults – the prospective event shouldn't be inducing giggles in either of them.
Alice goes into the bathroom and emerges a minute later, wearing black shorts and a bright blue tank top. Hatter lets himself admire the form-fitting outfit for a minute. "You know, I did always love that color on you."
She blushes. "Well, shall we then?" She lets her voice drift off, motioning towards the bed. Hatter nods emphatically.
"You know, we only have to do this if you're comfortable with it," he reminds her. Alice laughs.
"Really, I want to."
Alice sits on the bed, but Hatter isn't having that. He climbs up next to her and, standing on his feet, pulls her up to his level.
"Ever done this before?" he asks.
"No. You're the first person I've wanted to do this with." Hatter smiles and kisses Alice quickly.
He then takes her hand and jumps.
The pair spends the next twenty minutes jumping on the bed. Alice's mother had never let her jump on their antique furniture as a kid although she'd always wanted to. Alice is loving this now. Hatter, however, is an expert at this particular activity and shows Alice how to perform a few flips. Then Alice, smiling mischievously, hits Hatter with a pillow, sparking a battle that lasts until they collapse on the floor, laughing.
"Was it how you thought it would be?" Hatter asks, only mostly teasing.
Alice just grins.
"Thank god we have high ceilings."
What else did you think they were going to do? Get your mind out of the gutter :D
