My Redheaded Girl!

Chapter Six: Tease

The light shun from the back window of Jenny's car into our sleeping faces. Being able to see the golden rays through my lids causing me to wake up. A groan exited my mouth in irritation of not being able to fall back asleep. Both my eyes fluttered open to see Jenny's flawless face glisten in the sunlight. It took every ounce of my body not play with her radiant red hair or cup her soft peach fuzzed cheek.

The weird part about that is I've never really wanted to touch someone in my entire life. Just the idea of it made me cringe. I can barely touch my own skin without wanting to cry. Though once it comes to Jenny I start to question myself.  Do I want human touch or do I not? I mean I did like the cuddling a bit and it did go to show me how touch starved I actually really am.

"Sophie?"

My focus came back to realty. Seeing that I had my right hand unconsciously on Jenny's cheek slightly stroking it with my thumb. Embarrassment took over me in a heart beat. Yanking my hand off of her as fast as I could.

"I'm so s-sorry. I d-didn't mean to do that. I r-really didn't! I don't know what came over me?"

"Dude take a chill pill. It's okay."

I watched as her freckled hand guided it's way towards my hand, grabbing it gently so she didn't hurt me and force it back onto her rosy cheek. All of this was foreign to me so it all felt immense. For some reason warm tears started to run down both my cheeks. Why am I crying?

"Are you okay!?"

Jenny popped up quickly from her comfortable spot. My hand fell down back to my knees. I could tell she looked worried about what was happening but little did she know I have no idea myself.

"I d-don't know. J-just ignore it."

"Ignore it? Soph you're crying!"

"I know. Tr-trust me I'm okay. It happens sometimes."

Jenny leaned back down in her seat. I could tell that she was still worried about it. Which I completely understand. If I saw Jenny crying all of a sudden I'd probably do the same thing. So I just give a little sweet smile to show her that every little thing is gonna be alright. I could tell Jenny started to calm back down a bit.

"Thanks for caring by the way...it's very sweet."

That is one thing I love about Jenny. She seems like she actually cares about you. Not like most people who clearly pretend to care but once you start to tell them what's wrong. They either make fun of it, try to one up you like it's some competition or they just don't care even though they asked.

"That's what being a friend is for. You'd do the same for me."

She was right I would do the same for her after all she is the only person besides my family that I truly care for which scares me. I've only hung out with this girl for almost a day and I'm already getting attached. I know that if Jenny leaves me, like my other past so called friends, I'm not gonna take so well. Most likely gonna breakdown and cry for days maybe months about it.

"Can we sit another date for when we're gonna see each other again?"

I knew that if we sat up another hang out I'll feel less anxious than I am right now. Jenny looked a little surprised at my sudden question.

"Of course! How about Friday after school we go thrift shopping and get a snack at Chester Cats Cafe?"

"I'd love that and how about you sleepover at my place that night?"

I felt guilty for asking that. Of course I don't want to be seen as clingy already in the relationship. I'm just offering the choice to her if she wants to take it.

"Are you kidding!? I'd love to sleepover at your place!! I'll get to meet your parents, hangout with you for longer, show you some good horror films, gossip about our crushes and eat candy til our teeth rot!"

Jenny grabbed my shoulders and shook me around but gently. I knew she was just excited so I went along with the vibe. Just so I can see Jenny's lit up face a little longer.

"And don't forget the most important thing Jenny..."

"What?"

"Pickles."

Jenny curled up in laughter at my slight joke. Not knowing it would be that funny. She just kept giggling at it though.

"You okay Jen? It wasn't that funny."

"To me it was. God I love your jokes."

We stared at each other for a good long while in silence. Nothing awkward between it. Just admiring each other for the moment. Jenny reached under the blanket for my sides, making me flinch a bit and started to tickle me gently. I quickly grabbed her hands to hold them in place so she didn't do it anymore.

"You do not want to do that. Trust me."

"Aw but I want to hear your laugh soph~"

Of course Jenny being stronger than me, got out of my grasp and started doing it again. Causing me to flail around like a tube man in front of a car dealership. My hands tried to snatch hers away. Slipping every time I finally got a hold of her.

"Please...hehe...STOP!"

"Aw but your laugh is so cute!!"

I knew she wasn't gonna stop anytime soon so I did the next thing that came into my head. My hands pushed her away from me, letting me get a small break to be able to open the car door and slip out of the back seat.

"Oh no you don't!"

Jenny latched onto me by wrapping her arms and legs around me hugging me tightly so I didn't go anywhere. I watched as her long arm closed the car door and lock it.

"You tease let me go."

A evil giggle came out of Jenny. Actually kind of creeping me the fuck out. I tried everything to get out of her tight hold on me. So much that I started to get tired. Just letting her hold me as we laid there intertwined with each other.

"Giving up already soap?"

"I only have so much energy Jenny."

A warm feeling on my face surprised me. Realizing that her freckled cheek was connected to mine. Making my heart flutter a bit. How am I not freaking out right now? Why do I like this? My eyes closed, taking in all of the feels and emotions right now. This girl makes me feel weak but not in a bad way.

"I should probably get you home. I've got to work tonight."

My heart sank into my stomach knowing that this feeling is gonna be gone. She can't be with me forever. Even though I'd do anything for that to be true.

"Work?"

"Yeah I work at Chester Cats Cafe right now. Probably not gonna last long. That's why I offered it because I get discounts."

"Oh...I see."

She unwrapped herself from around me, getting out of the backseat and stretched herself out. The same empty feeling came back to me but more intense. What is this girl? A drug? Jenny sat down in the drivers seat, fixing the rear view mirror to look at me with her enticing eyes and smirk.

"You gonna come sit down in the passengers seat or you gonna just stay back there all by yourself?"

Part of me wanted to stay back here so Jenny didn't have to see me pout about how I want her to not go away from me. Kind of like a little kid who wants their toy. Though I knew that would be immature of me so of course I got out and sat in front with her.

"Thats better."

(( I hope you enjoyed Jenny's teasing. I know everyone has teased their crush at some point. Also if "Chester Cat Cafe" is an actual place I don't own the name. Honestly just came up with it.))
