Dressing like a girl ((boyxboy)) ON PAUSE

👗👠46👠👗

"..C-can I still have that water" Danielle breaks the silence.

We're all sat quietly in Jasper's living room. His dad staring him and I down. His mom is sat next to him with a beaming smile. Complete polar opposites. She seems to always have a smile on her face but in the few minutes I've know his dad his subtle frown hasn't even faltered.

"Of course,why don't you come with me" Mrs. Vandella takes Danielle's hand and basically glides into the kitchen.

"They were technically business parties" Jasper mumbles once the girls are out of sight.

"What" his dad's voice booms throughout the room.

"I never missed any business meeting to call him only business parties.. and I wouldn't even be gone that long" he speaks up.

"Even so" his dad leans forward a bit to examine me. "This is your future I'm trying to mold for you and you'd go and mess it up for.." he looks at me in disapproval before returning the look to his son.

"I can make a living on my own" Jasper straightens up. "I don't need your business to fall back on" he says looking him in the eye.

"Fall back on?" His dad chuckles a little. "So you're fully ready to throw away all of my hard work for some little high school fling" he scoffs.

I notice Jasper's mom peak into the line room with this look on her face. It isn't happy or anything like that. It's like a kind of blank murderous stare. She isn't looking at Jasper or me though, she's looking at her husband. She quickly dips back into the kitchen before she runs out with a rolled up newspaper in her hand.

"What did I tell you-" She jumps over the couch smacking him with it.  "I said be nice and don't get out of line" she continues hitting him as he tries to block the newspaper from hitting him.

"I'm just messing with them honeybun" Mr. Vandella's previous macho and threatening exterior completely melts away.

"And I told you to take them seriously because they are both very serious about their relationship" she stops hitting him but continues to scold him making Jasper snicker.

"He was serious about working on race cars for a living too" he rolls his eyes.

"Does Ohio look like a race car to you" she motions to me raising the newspaper again.

"Your parents named you after a state?" He turns to me with a judgmental confused look.

"I think it's a nice name" Mrs. Vandella says before I can even think of a response. "You might not have scared Jasper but Ohio is sure enough about to shake his insides into a smoothie" she goes back to scolding him.

"I apologize for scaring you Ohio" he grins at me. "But Jasper do you really think of my business as something to fall back on?" He questions him.

"Not necessarily something to fall back on.. I guess more like something to do in the background of my main work" he shrugs. "Or something to do incase what I have planned doesn't work out"

"And is Ohio.. your plan" he glances at me.

"Ohio isn't gonna work" Jasper locks our fingers making me grin like a kid in a candy store.

"So you're using him for his money" he glares at me causing his wife to glare at him as she winds up her newspaper again. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding" he raises his hands in defeat. "Well what about Victoria"

"What about that girl? She's rude, snobby, entitled, and overall has no respect for the people around her. Don't try and bring up other people after I told you these two are serious" she voice finally breaks into a yell making everyone go wide eyed.

"I'm not suggesting anything I'm just asking what of her. She's been-" his wife glares at him. "Anyways my flight leaves out in about three hours so you can take me to the airport and just keep my car here so you can use it" he says trying to apologize to her.

"Yay!" She drops the newspaper and hops into his lap. "As much as I love the car I'm sad that you're leaving so soon" she pouts rocking a little.

"Jasper is old enough to watch himself just come with me" he pleads with her rubbing his nose against hers.

"Let's go before I throw up" Jasper whispers to me as he pulls me into the kitchen.

"Oh thank goodness I thought you two were about to die in there" Danielle says with a steaming blueberry muffin in her mouth. "Your mom is a wonderful cook" she says grabbing another even though she's barely finished the one in her mouth.

"That's it? No "You'll never be with him and that's final" kind of stuff" I say trying to mimic his dad's voice. "And who's Victoria?" I ask trying not to sound jealous or anything.

"What mom says goes and he'd rather give up his whole company before he upsets her. And as for Victoria, she's just the daughter of one of dads good friends who also happen to be in business with us. You'd think we were childhood friends but I didn't spend time with my dad much and when I I'd sit quietly in the room" Jasper rolls his eyes. "Seeing as I was forced to sit in there I didn't do much interaction and I still don't. Victoria just thinks cuz she's seen me a couple of times she's entitled to my hand in marriage or something like that" he shrugs.

"But can't her father and yours just arrange a marriage between you two" I gulp and he shakes his head no before kissing my cheek.

"You read too many fanfics" Danielle teases as she takes another bite out of the muffin. "Holy fuck I'm gonna have to take some of these with me" she rolls her eyes.

"Come on I'll take you home" he laughs as he grabs his keys. "Ma, Pops I'm heading out real quick" he walks past the living room ignoring the two of them in their own little world on the couch.

"So just to check one more time" Danielle leans into the car from my window. "Neither of you are coming into the house and I should tell your parents what again?" She asks.

"Tell them I'm hanging with Jasper because he just got back, Papa will understand so tell him first" I add just in case.

"Okay bye" she says dragging out the 'e' as she runs up to the door to my house.

I watch her enter the house before rolling up my window. I slowly turn to Jasper to find him already staring at me with a huge smile. I bite down on my lip trying to keep the smile off my face. He suddenly grabs my face and shames our lips together. I pull on the hem of his shirt deepening the kiss. He starts smiling then pulls away to look at me.

"I missed you so much" he hums happily as he rubs our noses together before bringing us back into a kiss.

"Let's go before my dad comes out here and snatches me out of the car" I peck his lips before buckling my seatbelt.

"But we deserve a pass" he pulls my chin so that I'm facing him.

I force my head down to hide the smile on my face. He chuckles as he dips his head low to make eye contact with me. I turn away and pull my head into my hoodie to hide my face.

"Okay okay we'll go home just take your head out of my hoodie" he tugs at it.

I let him pull it down all the way only to see him recording us. I make a 'really' face at him then get closer to the camera and start fixing my hair.

"You didn't tell me I looked like a mess" I say as try and comb through my hair.

"You never look like a mess" he grins looking at me lovingly.

I quickly peck his lips then sit back in my seat. I look out the window towards my house so the camera can't catch my smiling. He pecks my cheek then starts the car and pulls away.

All is finally right in the world. I'm finally going to get a good nights rest. We can go back to the ice cream shop and on more dates together. I'll even introduce him to "Violet Evergarden." Maybe this time we could even-

"I love you" he glances at me as he leaves my neighborhood.

I move his hair aside to see his face, "I love you too"
