A/N Own Nothing
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Jareth what could your house possibly need, well besides food and bathroom supplies for me?"
Jareth looked at me for minute, "That small television set is hardly adequate; I need a new microwave; I am sure there are other items you would like to have in the kitchen to cook with."
I continued eating my lunch and rolled my eyes at him, "The television is fine. Why would you want a larger TV anyway, you don't watch it? Where would you put it?"
Jareth didn't answer me and didn't bring it up again until we were at Best Buy. He was showing me a catalog for the new TV stand he was going to buy for it. It matched his living room furniture and had plenty of space for the TV and a ton of DVDs. We were waiting for a salesperson to come over and help us pick out the television for a few minutes. The manager came over and said, "No way. Get the hell out of my store."
Jareth and I spun around to see Bill looking really pissed off. "What are you doing here? This isn't your store." Bill managed a Best Buy, but it was the one I used to live near which was about an hour away.
"I got transferred now get the hell out of my store."
I took Jareth's hand and walked towards the entrance, but Jareth didn't move. "Come on, let's go." Jareth just stood there staring angrily at Bill. Finally he gave in and walked with me out of the store. Bill ran up behind us once we were out.
"Hey freak, what did her parents think when they found out you beat her?" Jareth turned back around looking absolutely pissed.
"If you would have kept your hands off of her it would not have happened."
"Yeah right, I am sure you two will have a happy relationship. You will find out soon that she is not as perfect and innocent as she seems. Just look at the way she dresses. She doesn't give a shit. She is a bitch and always wants to go out. She will never leave you alone, always nagging about something. She will never learn her place." Bill crossed his arms and glared at me, satisfied that his rant had hurt me.
The sad thing was it really did. I liked the way I dressed and he didn't. I occasionally put on something special for him but he never appreciated it. I didn't like to spend every single weekend in the house and I only ever bitched at him because he didn't do shit. I knew he was completely in the wrong but it still really hurt and I knew my eyes were filling up. I couldn't see Jareth's face because he was standing in front of me, but I was worried that he would listen to Bill and realize he didn't want me.
"Oh god, not the crying again. You can't say anything to her."
Jareth turned around to look at me, but I just looked away. I didn't want him to see the tears that I was trying not to make fall. "Can we please just go home now?" I whispered to him.
Jareth turned back towards Bill and walked right up to him, "If you come near her again or say one more thing that hurts her I will hurt you." I was flattered by that but still worried.
Then the fight began. Bill took a swing at Jareth and missed. Jareth got Bill right in the stomach and then an elbow right to the back. Bill was on the ground in seconds. Jareth turned around to walk away but Bill tackled him to the ground. I just stood there like the stupid girl you see in the movies. I was the one that people are always wondering why she isn't doing anything. I was too stunned to move. I couldn't tell who was winning or who was actually hitting who.
"Stop! Both of you please stop!" I didn't want to take a punch for them this time so I stayed out of it. I ran into the Best Buy and got someone to help me. A bunch of people came out to see the fight. I was just in time to see Jareth kick Bill off of him and stand up and turn once again to walk away. Bill went to tackle him again but this time was caught by a bunch of people.
Someone above Bill was called in to watch the security cameras. We were told we had to wait so Jareth asked them if we could continued shopping like we have originally intended. A saleswoman stayed with us and sold us a very large HD television. It was as least as big as the one in the employee room.
Jareth also picked out a DVD player. He wanted me to pick it out, but I really wasn't in the mood for shopping. Jareth took me over to the DVDs and asked me to pick out what I liked. I told him I didn't want him to buy me any movies so finally he told me to tell him about all the movies I wanted him to watch. It took some time but eventually I started telling him about the classics like Back to the Future and Indiana Jones. Jareth was doing a really good job of getting me to tell him every movie I have ever liked and every movie I ever wanted to see. We ended up buying over 200 DVDs if you include the TV show seasons I also told him were good.
Someone came over to us apologizing for Bill's behavior. He was fired for starting the fight and they gave us a discount on our huge purchase. I had never seen anyone spend so much money in all my life. Jareth took care of getting everything to our house. I still loved that, our house. Then we went home. I still wasn't in a very good mood so Jareth picked me up and took me to his big Jacuzzi; he filled it up with lots of steamy water and bubbles and gave me a kiss. He got me a big fluffy black robe and left me in there. I heard him on the phone ordering Chinese food while I got in and relaxed.
I sat in the tub and thought about things. Jareth was so good to me, but after Bill told him what he thought I was like would he still want to be good to me? Jareth was really pissed at him. Even though he was trying to get me to enjoy the outing I could tell that he wasn't himself. He didn't talk much and he was talking kind of slow and quietly. I ducked my head out of the water and considered never coming out. I could stay in the tub forever.
