Amadrya's Match

Chapter 3

(Hope)

It felt like time had stopped and before I could comprehend my situation he started to slowly lean his head down and gently press his lips on mine. My head spun; I had no idea he felt this way about me. Do I feel the same? I know I technically have been dating someone but I have known Jasper way longer, and I guess I kind of like him too.

I decided to focus on Jasper kissing me. I feebly pushed him, still weak from fainting. He mistook my action as an act of passion and kissed me harder. I told him to stop and he dragged himself away, I couldn't imagine how I looked at that moment, an expression of horror slightly covered my face as well as one of shock.

I just stared at him as he raked his hands through his hair. We both sat there in silence until Jasper broke it,

"You, okay?" He started.

"You just kissed me, Jasper, what do you think?" His lips pressed together in a hard line.

"I had to kiss you Hope, you are leaving soon and I needed to show you how I felt. I wasn't sure if you felt the same but I needed to find out."

"Jasper, I don't know how I feel at this moment." I assented, hoping I did not hurt his feelings.

So many things went through my head at that moment while he stared at me. How long? Why didn't he tell me earlier! Have I been leading him on? I turned my head to the side burying my head in the pillow. This was too much for my brain to comprehend, in fact it only added to the stress I felt at that moment in time, the one thought going through my mind was, why did he do that?

As I drifted off, his lips pressed gently on my head. I was given the relief of sleep after that.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was Jasper absently playing with my hair. His blue eyes gleamed and smiled when he saw I was awake, however, he seemed to have moved past what happened, however long ago it was, I couldn't just forget that, it really messed me up.

"I called your mum while you were sleeping, Tesoro, I told her what happened."

Yes, except for when you kissed me, and what's with the pet name? My brain was in overdrive as he continued to talk.

"You can come home with me; both our mums are out." He sighed cheerfully.

"Jasper." I stuttered.

"Yes Hope, what's up." His eyes shone with curiosity.

"Why did you have to kiss me?" I hoped he would say it is because I am leaving.

"I'll tell you soon, I promise mi amor." His voice was gentle and his eyes did not pierce me as Marks did. I felt safe in his company, like he would never let anyone hurt me, and again with the pet names, I could only assume that it was something people who liked other people did, and I guess I can't complain, it was kind of sweet.

Aside from that, I was too stunned to think. All I could do was nod and say okay. We sat in silence for a while. His eyes studied me, taking in all my features as if he were never going to see me again. Technically that is true, I am leaving in a couple of days.

As I opened my eyes, I saw that I was laying on the backseat of Jasper's car. I clearly fell asleep again. Too many things went through my mind at this point, how did I get here? Did Jasper carry me?

I sat up and looked out the window, I could not help but think of Mark. I do not know what I am going to do with Jasper and his kiss. The scenery started to get blurry as I realized I was crying. I guess this day has been quite eventful. Jasper keeps turning around, he looks concerned but isn't saying anything.
