SURPRISINGLY YOURS

Psycho

Julia

"Private party?"

I asked as he guided me out the door of the frat house and into the night air.

"You're jealous of Moose."

Jagger smirked, "The big lug? In his dreams."

I let Jagger take my hand as we left the party.

"We aren't going back to your dorm, are we?"

Jagger frowned,"On the contrary. Even though I still wanna get you in the sack, I'm taking you to the drive-in."

My eyes widened,"What? Why? Jagger, I can afford to go out."

"It's on me, baby. Don't you worry."

But I did and I had every right to.

"Jagger..."

"Alright, I'll take no for an, but a little mediocre coercion never hurt, especially when I'm taking you to the drive-in."

Jagger

The drive-in.

A place where a guy could at least make out with his woman.

His woman. I had to chuckle to myself because Julia was definitely not mine.

Nor would she ever be.

"I'm not dressed for a drive in, Jagger... "

I shrugged out of my coat and put it around her.

"I can't keep wearing your clothes, either," she tried to shrug out of it, but I pulled her closer to my body, "Jagger..."

"Just humor me, alright?"

"Fine," she rolled her eyes as I led her to the school's parking lot,"Nice Corvette. Bet you take all the cheerleaders out in this."

"Bet I do, too," I winked as I opened the door for her.

"Ew," she scowled,"I don't want to sit on your semen."

I laughed and shook my head as she grabbed some sort of wipe from her purse and ran it across the seat.

"Are you done?"

She sighed and nodded,"I suppose so."

I enjoyed her adorable little snootiness even though she probably didn't have a snobbish bone in her body.

"What movie are we seeing?"

"Who says we're watching a movie?"

I could have sworn she tried to roll out of my car, but I gripped her thigh.

"I'm joking. It's an old retro film, darlin."

"Oh? I didn't know they played those here."

"Bet you were in theater."

"No, but I went to enough plays to know that I love old movies."

"Yeah you're weird, but I guess you'll be fun."

Julia smiled,"Still trying to get this ass, Jagger?"

Julia

This guy's audacity was beyond comprehension.

I knew I wanted him, but not in a relationship sort of way..

I wanted a meaningful relationship, not a fling, but he was hot and we were adults.

What did I have to lose?

I was on the pill, he would definitely be using protection.

"Julia?"

"Huh?"

"Daydreaming about me?"

"You wish."

"We're here. Casablanca is playing and Psycho."

I laughed,"Damn... totally different genres. Let's do Psycho."

"Popcorn and pop?"

"And chocolate."

"Women.." Jagger shook his head, smiling as he parked us and headed to the concession stand.

I looked around at all of the cars surrounding us.

Was I really at the movies with Jagger the Jock?

I was actually surprised that he'd taken me out instead of hurling me to the side and finding another girl for the night.

"Here ya go," he handed me my soda and popcorn through the open window and I leaned over to open his door.

"Thanks, nerd."

I laughed.

This nerd was quaking inside at the prospect of having Jagger between my thighs.

"You keep ogling me like that, Julia, and I'm gonna show you what I'm made of."

"Oh, you wish you could."

"I do, actually. Am I gonna have to grovel at your feet at this point?"

"Watch the movie, Jagger."

Contrary to what I thought he'd do, Jagger listened to me and continued to watch the film, handing me the chocolate as we both stayed focused on the screen in front of us.

"My favorite part.." Jagger snickered as the infamous shower scene played out.

"Oh it would be," I joked.

"You can't tell me you don't like it," he said, "I even love the other films in the franchise."

"I thought you weren't, -"

"I was in theater."

Jagger

Fuck.

She wasn't supposed to know that.

I was supposed to be Mr. Jock who wasn't interested in what she liked.

How we made it to this point floored me, especially when the movie ended and we both found ourselves talking about film history.

"You're such a film geek," she yawned,"Ready to go back to the dorms?"

"Stay the night with me, Julia."

"Wh-what?"

"We don't have to do a damn thing, but I don't want to take you back to your place just yet."

"Wanna go get real food?"

I was trying so hard, too hard really, but it was oddly not about sex.

"Alright let's go get some grub."

"I'll buy this time."

"You'd better. I'm running out of funds."

Julia

A guy like Jagger didn't run out of funds and I'm sure the looks we got from the frat boys and sorority girls made for great rumors later on.

"My ex is here..."

"Huh? Who?"

"Samantha Grant."

Of course...

"She's eye fucking you hard right now."

"She's a psychopath."

"Oh really? The two of you have that in common?"

Jagger looked perplexed, "She... let's just say that you're my girlfriend tonight, alright?"

"Excuse me?"

I was about to protest when Jagger pulled me into his arms and looked me dead in the eyes, his gorgeous orbs seeking my soul.

"Forgive me, Julia.." he whispered.

And then... he kissed me.
