The Girl With Painted Wings

Chapter 6: Shut up and kiss me..

Jess's P.o.V
"Jess, are you almost ready?" Aunt Beth calls from the other side of the changing room.
We've spent the past two hours at the mall trying to find me a dress to wear, and I'm starting to get a little hungry. Im standing in yet another dress posing in front of the mirror. It's a short, black dress with fishnet like trim outlining the top and around the hem, which shows off my legs a little...and by a little I mean a lot! It takes me a while to like what I see, but when I do I'm quite satisfied.
"Yeah, I think this is the one I want.." I reply as I give the mirror one last twirl.
"Okay, whenever you're ready, we'll go get ourselves some fast-food."
"Okay.." I respond as I step out of the black material.

Once I set foot out of the dressing room, we walk around in search of some matching shoes. Whenever my Aunt "dragged" me out the door to go shopping, I already had an idea of what I wanted. I pick up a pair of black heels that lace up to the top.
"I like these." I say holding them up.
"What is it with you and dark colors?" Aunt Beth replies as we walk to the check out counter.
"Will this be all today?" the cashier asks.
"Yes it is."
I watch my Aunt as she swipes her card to pay. She hands me the bag and we walk out of the store.
"So, where do you want to eat, Jess?"
"How about Steak and Shake?"

Jeff's P.o.V
"Damn it!" I yell as I throw my Xbox controller at the wall. I'm just glad my mom isn't home at the moment to hear me yell. I turn off the Xbox and head downstairs to get a Pepsi from the fridge. Tomorrow is the school dance, and I immediately think of Violet.
What will she be dressed like? What will she think of me when I get there?
From there I begin to think of other things.
Those tempting lips begging me to kiss them..
How I wanna run my hands through her hair and have them roam all over her...
I quickly snap out of it. Damn that girl. She doesn't even know what she does to me. I grab my Pepsi and go back to my room.

The Next Day...
"Dude, you've got nothing. I thought you said that you had a tux." Conner says as I rummage through my closet...well, what's left of it.
"Well, I thought I did." I reply.
I spend the next ten minutes trying to find a tux.
"Okay, that's it! We are going shopping my friend, whether you like it or not!" Conner proclaims.
"Yeah, yeah.."
We head out the door and hop in my truck, which finally got out of the shop, and head to the nearest clothing store.

"How do I look?" I ask Conner as I adjust my bow tie.
"Nervous." he says bluntly.
"Gee, thanks.."
"No prob."
I roll my eyes and head back into the dressing room to change.

Conner and I purchase our suits and head back to my place.
"So who's your date" I ask.
"Her name is Kathy, I asked her during history class."
"I never knew you were seeing someone."
"I'm not. She wanted a date, I wanted a date, so I asked."
"Cool." I reply as I toss him a small bottle of Pepsi.

Jess's P.o.V
I sit in the bathroom and look up at the clock. Six-thirty. The dance starts in thirty minutes and I'm not even dressed yet. I quickly finish changing my hair from black with a purple streak to black with reddish tips. I apply eyeliner and a dark shade of lipstick. I rush out of the bathroom and into my room to change as "Got Your Six" by Five Finger Death Punch blasts from my phone.
"Won't go down, never gonna quit, don't look back cause I got your six!" I sing along as I lace up my shoes. I put up a few strands of my hair in the back and secure it with a matching bow. I quickly search for a matching bracelet and necklace to complete the outfit along with some dangling earrings. By the time I look at the clock it's six fifty-five.
"Jess are you ready?" Aunt Beth calls out.
"Yes!" I call back as I grab a small purse and head downstairs.
When I reach the bottom of the stairs my and gazes at me in awe.
"If only your parents could see you right now.." she says as we head out to the car.

"Okay, so I'm going to be out of town because of work tonight and tomorrow, so I want to make sure you have your key to the house."
"Yes, Auntie, it's in my bag along with my phone." I answer.
"Okay, sweetie, have fun!" she says letting me out.
"Thanks, I will."
I hope.

Jeff's P.o.V
Conner and I enter the gym in search for our dates.
"Hey, I'm going to go look for Violet."
"Okay, good luck bro." he says as I make my way through the crowd of people.
There are so many people it's hard to tell where I'm going when suddenly, they begin to clear out and there she is, sitting at a table thinking to herself while she waits. I quickly approach her
"Hey, nice hair." I gesture to the color change.
"I know, I know, it looks bad. I was kind of in a hurry."
"No it doesn't, I think it looks cute.
"Cute. You had to say cute. You and I both know she's a lot more than cute!" my sub conscience screams at me.
"Um..thanks.." Violet says in an unsure way.
I am so bound to screw this up.

"Do you wanna dance?" I ask, standing up.
"S..sure.."
Violet stands up and let's me pull her out to the dance floor. When I let go of her hand, she spins around as she begins to move with the beat.
"I didn't know you could dance.." I watch in amazement.
"Yeah, it's something I kind of keep to myself.."
As Violet spins around again, I grab her hand and bring her close as the Dj puts on a slow song. Her other hand lands on my chest as she faces me. I watch her eyes as they trace her hand, which is sliding its way up and around my neck as my other hand wraps around her waist. We slowly sway side to side. Pretty soon Violet rests her head on my shoulder and I begin to forget where we are.

After awhile, I walk Violet back to our table and get us some punch. When I return I notice Violet staring off into space.
"Tired?" I ask, handing her a cup of punch.
She shakes her head as she takes a sip.
"Don't deny it, I can see it in eyes..and your posture."
"Okay, maybe a little bit.. What time is it anyways?"
"Fifteen minutes past eleven."
"What!?"
I look around and notice that nearly ten people are still here.
"I guess I should get you home before your Aunt has a heart attack."
"No, she's out of town tonight, but I guess we could chill at my place if you want."
"Sure."

I follow Violet up the pathway to the front door. Right as we're right in front of the door, I grab Violet's shoulder and spin her around, shoving her against the door as I crash my lips onto hers.
Finally, this is what she tastes like..
"Jeff.." she whimpers as we separate.
I let her unlock the door and watch as she fumbles with the doorknob, stumbling inside. I shut the door then turn and grab Violet by the waist, pulling so her back makes contact with my chest. I begin to massage her waist as I place a kiss on her forehead.
"You have no idea what you make me want to do to you.." I whisper closely into her ear.
"J..just shut up and kiss me again.."
