A Love To Last A Lifetime

Chapter 3- The Day It All Began.

Hello chipmunks, this chapter is the start of new and unknown feelings erupting in Jennifer's heart, feelings that she never knew existed... Enjoy :-)

Jennifer's POV

"Beep beep beep..."

"Shut up!"

"Beep beep beep..."

"Will you just shut your mouth?!" I asked, exasperated.

But what was I thinking? I was an idiot to talk to an alarm clock. Checking the time, it was still qauter to six, meaning I had ten minutes to myself before I had to get out of my bed.

The date with Aaron was still playing in my mind. And that kiss, how could I forget it? It was so passionate but yet, I didn't feel a spark. Not even a glitch. Or is that supposed to happen only in novels?

My mind was spinning around these details when it settled on my dream. Now that seemed so romantic. Rogan and my hands were intertwined, sending that warm, fuzzy feeling throughout my body. I never felt that way with Aaron.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Oh yeah, you have to disturb me again, right?"

"Beep beep..."

But before it could complete the third 'beep', I switched it off. These things are nasty and irritating. Why were they even invented? Oh right, to wake me up on time. Hatred for alarm clocks ran in the family. You should see my brothers reacting to these damn things. I am much sober than them.

Brushing my teeth and getting into the shower, I was getting ready for today. Being late is an offense in Westmont High School's books and a girl like me who is being considered as the valedictorian this year shouldn't be 'late'.

Infact, as far as I remember, I had never been late to school. I was pretty adamant on that thing. Shelby used to be my ride to school but within a few days, I told her that I would go on my own. Local buses were a life saver.

As soon as I ate my breakfast, which consisted of just grilled cheese sandwiches, made by me, I began to walk the small distance of going till the bus station. My brothers were sleeping which was not a big deal because their jobs didn't require to get up early.

Since I was consumed in my thoughts, I didn't notice the bus coming. I got on it without much effort and began to scout for a seat to sit on. My usual seat was taken up by someone else. I sat down, pretty comfortable. Only five more stations to go.

At next station, a lot of people got in since the population was denser over here. Suddenly a person sat on the seat next to mine. While doing so our hands brushed and once again that warm fuzzy feeling spread through my entire body.

I quickly whipped my head around to see who it was. Moments later, I was staring into those pair of big brown doe eyes that had me captivated since the first day I saw them.

Rogan.

We didn't make a move to stare away. It seemed as if he was searching for something in my eyes, for his eyes narrowed down a little. His eyes glistened in the sunlight, making them even more beautiful. How could someone be so attractive was beyond me! Hell, even Aaron's blue eyes were nothing in front of Rogan's brown ones. I could stare into those brown eyes for eternity. But dear God had other plans for me.

The bus jolted at the next stop, effectively breaking our eye contact.

Why does this happen to me?

"Err... Hello, good morning Jennifer." Rogan initiated the conversation.

He's making an effort, talk to him!

"Yeah well... Good morning to you too!" I said, in an overly chirpy tone.

What is happening to me? Get your act straight girl.

"So... Do you always travel by this bus route?" I asked him because I had not seen him before.

"Yes, I do. You just didn't notice me." He said in a very sad way, I couldn't help but feel ashamed of myself.

How did I fail to notice this gorgeous boy beside me?

"I am sorry, Rogan."

"Oh no, not a big deal." He shrugged it off.

"Ok..." Now how am I supposed to talk further, ask him some question. Hell, why am I being nervous?

"Are you nervous?" He asked me.
What the hell? Did he just read my mind?

"I haven't read your head if that's what you are thinking."

"Then how do you know?"

"By the sweat beads formed on your forehead, any one could guess you're nervous."

"Oh, the sweat, FYI I am the most sweaty person ever. Even if I walk one metre, I'll start sweating."

"Ooh, that's kinda disgusting!"

"Am I disgusting?" I asked, a bit disappointed.

"Nope you are NOT. Your sweating habits are. You are really pretty Jennifer."

"Thanks" I said, already feeling a red creeping up my neck.

"Your welcome. How are studies going on?"

"Good, actually really nice. What about you?"

"Awessssomeeee!" He squealed like a girl which made me laugh.

"That was- ha ha ha- hilarious!"

"What was hilarious?"

"The way you said 'awesome'."

"Should I do it again? I would really like to see you laugh like that." He said, which made me look at him again.

"You want to see me laugh?"

"Yeah, that was a very peaceful laugh to hear, you know?"

Holy shit, is he saying that he likes my laugh? Should I tell him that I love his eyes?

"I love your eyes" I said, hoping that he wouldn't run away from me.

"Really?" He asked, as if confirming what I just said.

"They are really beautiful" I said before I could stop myself.

"Beautiful, huh?"

"Uhmm... No, I mean..."

"Thanks for the compliment Jennifer."

"Your welcome" I said mimicking his earlier husky, and really velvety voice.

The bus stopped at our school, which was really convenient because then I didn't have to walk a lot.

"Hey Rogan, do you go back by the same bus?"

"Yes, I do, again. But why?" He asked, a bit puzzled.

"Then we can be bus buddies!" I said happily.

Being with Rogan is really making me happy. Now I am officially going crazy!

"Bye!" I called out to him, splashing him a really big grin.

I heard a faint 'bye' in the background as I hopped and skipped to my school.

This is great!

Bye chipmunks, enjoy! But don't forget to vote and comment!
