Hyperactive girl meets prince charming

chapter 10

Jack's Pov

"So what do you want?" I heard Tess shout as she stuck her head out of the window, I smiled; she looked adorable as the wind blew her brunette locks around her face. I shook my head quickly to clear those thoughts away, my parents were meeting Dana later unfortunately and I couldn't afford to be attracted to another girl, let alone a girl as hyper and outgoing as herself. My parents would never approve, would they? I was broken out of my thoughts by Tess's amused laughter.

"And you say I day dream!" she laughed before repeating her question. I smirked before telling her just to get anything she wanted. She widened her eyes before disappearing in the window. I stood there waiting until I heard a clatter coming from the window; I started to shift nervous on my feet. I had NEVER done anything like this before...I know how pathetic it sounds but I haven't.

"Tess!" I hissed looking around nervously. I couldn't afford to be caught; I was pushing it by skipping class. The only thing which has kept me in his good books is when I mentioned Dana; my father was already looking for a bride for me. Can you believe that, I was 17 and he was already setting me up with a wife! I remember going to my mum and demanding she spoke to my dad about it, only to find it was what they both thought was best. Finally I heard Tess laugh from the window, why wasn't she being more secretive? I looked up to find her grinning at the window with a bag in her hand.

"Catch me" she screamed before she jumped out of the window. Yes she fucking jumped! I moved my position just in time to catch her as she fell into my arms, was she mental? She could have been killed!

"Thanks!" she giggled and kissed me on the cheek before jumping out from my arms. I stood there stunned; did she even know that she kissed me? Yea I know it was just on the cheek, but still... I snapped out of it and looked over to Tess to see if she had noticed my staring, I breathed a breath of relief when I saw she had that dazed look in her eyes which she seemed to have most of the time.

"I want to lick chocolate off his abs" I heard her say and I could feel my face heating up and swallowed hard, she wasn't making this easy since I already found her attractive. She seemed to still daze off until she came out of it with a shake of her head.

"Nice daydream?" I asked as we walked back to the spot on the field. She sat down cross legged and I joined her.

"It was a weird one" she concluded and I couldn't stop myself from saying...

"What you licking chocolate off my abs?" I said and I saw her cough and blush at the same time. I burst out laughing before giving her a smirk; she smacked me playfully before holding the bag she was carrying in the air for me to see.

"What did you get?" I asked amused, my smirk still in place. Though it turned into confusion when I saw an evil smirk plaster on her face, I admit I was kind of scared.

"I. Got..." she said dramatically and I waited for her to continue, I leaned in slightly only to jump back when she screamed in my ear.

"MILK"

"What?" I asked confused, I thought she was meant to be getting food. I was hungry, not thirsty. Though milk did sound good right now, let's hope she got flavoured...I know I'm weird right? But I have this addiction to coloured milk, my parents have tried to get me to snap out of it since when were out I always ask for it, the look the waiters give is hilarious though and I got banned for doing it by my parents who always ordered me a drink before I could. They can be so annoying at times.

"I got milk, banana, chocolate, strawberry..." she trailed off in thought and my eyes widened. Not many girls tend to drink it since it's meant to be fattening for you or something if you don't get the low fat ones. Well that's what Dana said when we played 20 questions and she asked what my favourite drink was and I said chocolate milk. She seemed to stiffen slightly when I answered which was kind of weird.

"Tess!" I whined, the bell was going to go and I would have to go check in with John about my whereabouts, he was the only one who I told even though it was every guards job, but he was the only one I didn't get irritated with when they flooded me with questions. Tess muttered something about cherries before snapping out of it and giving me a strange look, as if she was trying to confirm something. I shrugged off the feeling and gave her the puppy eyes, the bell was going to go in like ten minutes and after checking in with John I had to go to my parents house, I was not looking forward to it as much as I hoped I would. Dana had still yet to grow on me and I was worried she never would. Why couldn't I love her? It would make things so much easier!

"What flavour?" she grinned as she started to take about 20 cartoons of milkshake out of her bag; I looked at her with wide eyes.

"20?" I asked accusingly, I liked milkshake sure...but 20?

"Ye 'p'" she laughed popping the 'p.' She asked me what flavour again and I grabbed the chocolate ones, I looked at her when she started laughing but I said nothing at her strange display. I stuck a straw in the first one only to find she had lined up all of the banana ones, stabbing a straw in each of them as she went. Was she seriously going to drink all of them, there was like 7 there? We sat in silence drinking until I heard the bell ring, as I grabbed three of my empty cartoons I looked over to find Tess on her last one. Seriously...she was on her 7th cartoon and still didn't look sick of it. She laughed at my expression but I looked at my watched and realised I was late.

"Look...urm..." I started nervously, wanting to leave but at the same time didn't. She seemed to gather this as she replied with that it was fine and that she had to get to work. I smiled at her and grabbed my rubbish, throwing it away I went to change into something more appropriate. Tonight was going to be a long night I thought with a scowl.
