Numbing Zephyrs -Part 2

Pins and Needles

It was the evening after cruella and Jasper had professed their love to each other on the balcony, and it had been a hectic morning of sleeping, realising Cruella was late to work and helping her get ready, and Jasper wandering around the house thinking about the night beforehand and re-organising various rooms of the house to make it seem like more of their own and less of the baroness'. He walked into what what he thought was the gallery but he opened the door and it turns out he was in the upstairs sunroom, he turned around to head out to go find the gallery as he wanted to paint his feet and walk around showing his footsteps on the floor of the gallery, but a muffled "Jasper?" came from behind him. "Cruella? Where are you" "I'm stuck behind the couch.'' Jasper scanned the room. There were 2 couches. "Which couch?" "the one with all the fabric on it'' Jasper walked behind the couch to find Cruella bunched up in a mess of fabric "take my hand, I need to re-arrange my leg" Jasper did as she said, her hand clutched in his, and he pulled her up. 

"Thanks, I was stuck behind there for a good 2 hours." "what??? Why didn't you call for help?" "because I didn't think you'd hear me, I just had to hope I'd hear footsteps at some point and yell out then but then this pillow dropped on my head so I couldn't hear much." Cruella and jasper hobbled out from behind the couch and Cruella immediately fell over. "Cruella are you ok! What the heck???" "my leg must have fallen asleep.'' Jasper grabbed her arm and helped her up. "Can you walk?" "uhh... no? Apparently not. Your strong, can you carry me downstairs?" Jasper flushed. "Uh...sure." "good. Now let's go. I need to call work and tell them where I have been all this time, and probably tell John to organise some things that need to be done as I will not be going into work today." "why? Wait a second, aren't you meant to be at work now? What happened this morning?" Jasper asked, Getting concerned that she was skipping work. "oh I went for a brief meeting but now I'm back because today I have both the optometrist and the dentist."

Jasper sat on the couch next to her and Cruella threw her arms around him "I thought you were going to carry me." Jasper blushed. "Why are you blushing? I thought we already established that I love you?" Jasper didn't say anything to this. He had been thinking all morning about his relationship with her and was beginning to get nervous. He loved her very much and was scared that they would have a bad fight and he'd lose her, in an even worse way than before. He knew that he should probably talk to her about this, but for now, he had to focus on carrying her downstairs so he picked her up and she immediately kissed him on the cheek "If you do that on the stairs, I may drop you" he said. "Why?" "oh..uhm....I...never mind." "what!" "I DON'T KNOW! Butterflies. Sorry I don't know why I said that." Cruella smiled and put her head on his shoulder and Jasper carried her through the halls and downstairs. Blushing the entire time.

In a way he was glad they were finally dating. He had been crushing on her for years. Having known her so long, he had realised that she had every quality hewas into. When she was in a good mood, she had an interesting sense of humour, creative, clever, determined and fun to be around. She was also incredibly attractive. Her hair was one of a kind, like her personality, and she has a nice smile. Everything that Jasper was into. He was finally living his dream. But as he realised as he carried her through the halls, her eyes gazing into his, He needed to talk to her about his worries about losing her. They eventually made it downstairs, Jasper carefully put her on the armchair near one of the telephones. The moment Jasper put her down Cruella stood up and walked perfectly towards the telephone, "I thought you couldn't walk!" "I still have pins and needles, but I need to re-learn how to walk!" "ok good. Because I thought you were taking advantage of me helping you. Again."

Jasper knew that the words were sharp. Especially considering she had already apologised. Cruella put the telephone down and turned around. She seemed shocked and embarrassed. Neither of them knew what to say. Luckily Horace decided to walk in right at that moment. "Hello, This house is big and John wants to talk to you about the flower shop. Also Cruella I'm meant to drive you to the optometrist. And... Jasper, are you tired? Your eyes are watering." Jasper blushed. "...um... yeah I didn't sleep well. I'm going to go upstairs, bye." "jasper..." "WHAT!" "I'm sorry." "We need to talk. But I need a moment. Meet me in the attic in 20 minutes ''Jasper left the room. "Am I missing something?" Horace bleated. Cruella glared at him and then went to the bathroom to wash her face.
