The Light To My Darkness

Jasper

She looks absolutely gorgeous.
I can't even take my eyes off her.
I feel like a magnetic force is pulling me closer to her, so I don't have a choice but walk in her direction.
Now she notices me and I can see her beautiful long legs trembling, which makes me smirk like a dumbass.
She has this unbelievable effect on me. I don't think my body ever reacted to someone this hard.
I eye her from top to bottom. Her hair is up in a high ponytail and she wears more makeup dann usually.
This dress she's wearing makes me want to do things to her that I really shouldn't.
Her legs are endlessly long and I wonder how they'd look wrapped around me.
Her whole look today makes me want to kill every man who even looks in her direction. I'll make sure they know who she belongs to.
,,Hey." Her voice is so soft I could listen to her talk for hours. How can a human being be so perfect?
,,Hey. Wow, you look...gorgeous." I can't not tell her how beautiful she is. I hope she knows it too.
Her expression tells me otherwhise. It's obvious she's uncomfortable by my compliment.
,,Thank you." Now she's even quieter and there's this tone in her voice that makes me think she doesn't believe me.
,,Do you want a drink?" I offer, to change topics so she isn't uncomfortable anymore.
,,Sure."
Before we can make our way to the bar a loud voice fills my ears and we both come to a stop.
,,Yo Jasper!" Jason and some other guy are marching towards us. His friend narrows his eyes as he sees Maeve beside me.
,,I wanted to introduce you to Noah. I told you about him." Yeah right. The guy that stole our headmasters car. I remember.
,,Jasper." I introduce myself and he nodds.
Jason turns to Maeve then, grinning :,, Maeve. You remember Noah?" That was obviously ironic.
,,Y-yes." It's like she has crawled back into her shell as soon as this guy showed up. I can't quite place the look in her eyes. Is it sadness? Worry? Fear?
Noah eyes us again. I know exactly what he's thinking right now. He looks like he wants to kill me.
They quickly get distracted by some other guys that joined so I usher her through the crowd to the bar.
,,Sorry about that. Noah is... doesn't matter." Why is she apologizing for that guy?
,,What'd he do to you?"
I probably crossed a line there and I don't expect her to tell me but to my surprise she opens up.
,,We were together last year and he cheated. So when I broke up with him he... he hurt me."
,,What do you mean he hurt you?" I press but she looks lost in thought.
,,Sunny?"
,,H-he hit me." She's looking at me now with a haunted expression and I feel like there is more she isn't telling me.
He fucking hit her? I swear, I could kill him now.
I'm so close to walking over to him and smashing his face into pieces.
,,After that he didn't stop harassing me for months but it finally stopped when he changed schools."
,,Fuck, Maeve. How could you love that asshole? I'm not kidding, I am going to kill him."
,,Please don't do that." she laughs. How can she laugh right now? ,,And I didn't love him."
She didn't? Good.
Fuck. My mood is ruined now. I don't want to talk about her duchebag of an ex anymore, so I order my drink.
,,One Bud Light and...," i turn to her , ,,What do you want?"
,,I'd like the same please." She tells the bartender.
I give him the money and take our beers and as I hand her hers I ask :,, You drink beer?"
,,Why?"
,,I don't know just didn't take you for that type."
She laughs at my answer. Her smile is also fascinating. Fuck. What isn't absolutely perfect on this girl?
,,Yeah, I'm not. I don't drink alcohol much but I thought I could try it. You like it so it has to be good." She's way to good for me.
I don't think I've ever went longer than a week without a sip of alcohol since I was 14.
I open the lid for her and watch her take the first sip.
She stares at me in disbelief :,,It's good! Really good." I just grin.

An hour later i finished my bottle, while she's already working on her second one and she's definitely drunk. I have to drive later so I didn't push it. I tried to tell her not to order that second one but she's really stubborn. She took it hard though, because this was her first beer. I notice her going for another sip and have to interfere. This might not end well.
So I take her drink away and she frowns at me.
,,Hey! I want to finish it." She nags like a child.
,,You're already drunk enough Maeve. I should have never given you another one in the first place."
,,But you drank too."
,,I only had one and my body is used to the alcohol by now. Yours isn't and you really shouldn't compare yourself to me. You don't want to end up like me." I mean that.
,,Why not? I like the way you are." I know she's just drunk but it still makes my stomach flip.
She's quiet for a second but then looks up at me in panic.
,,Jasper! I think I'm gonna puke!" I knew this was gonna happen. I fucking knew it.
I follow her into the bathroom where I patiently bend down behind her and hold her hair.
,,I'll never let you drink again." I promise her.
When she's done I search the guest bathroom for a toothbrush and- Bingo.
The face of disgust she gives me is absolutely priceless. ,,It's new." I laugh as I hand it to her and she reluctantly takes it.
,,You shouldn't drink and smoke either you know."
,,I know." I want to stop. For her. But I'm not sure if I can.
After brushing her teeth for a good ten minutes to be safe as she calls it and I know there's no risk of her puking again I lead her back to the party.
,,I don't think I want to go in there again." She wraps her soft hand around my biceps.
,,I can drive you home." I offer her. I know I drank a bit but I feel pretty light.
,,I'd like that." She gives me a shy smile.

,,Here we are." I sigh as I park in front of her house.
She looks at me and I can just sense that she doesn't want to leave this car.
,,Can we stay inside a little longer? I don't want to deal with my mother right now." Does she think I'll just throw her out?
,,Of course. Meave...Can I ask why?"
,,She just always complains and I don't want her to tell me how fat I look in this dress. She's probably right but I already feel bad about myself and she'll make it worse."
,,Are you serious? Do you not see how fucking beautiful you are? You are pure perfection!"
,,Do you really think that?" She is so unaware of the affect she has on me, it's almost funny.
,,Maeve, you look so good that I basically died having to keep myself from kissing you right there in front of everyone."
That made her speechless. Her expression is shocked but as she licks her lips I know she wants it to.
,,We're alone now." She whispers with that beautiful voice of hers. We are. And so I don't wast any more time and press my lips to hers.
Her lips are heavenly soft and she tastes like strawberries which only makes me want more.
It doesn't take her long to adapt to my rythm and now we are just two people trying to close the distance between us.
I feel her hands grabbing my hair as I slowly push my tounge in her mouth.
If I had known that kissing her felt like that I would have done it days ago.
It's sweet, desperate and hot at the same time.
She's beyond amazing.
