Bedtime Stories

Unpredictable love

Jared, P.O.V.

As I finish recording a new song, I decided to take a long walk to clear my mind.

I don't know how I got so far from home, in a area I didn't had been before; I saw a playground, were, some kids was playing; I stood in silence, on a bench, remembering how me and Shannon used to play, when we were kids.

Suddenly, a ball, came from nowhere, hitting me in the head.

I stood up, taking it in my hands and looking for the owner.

"I'm so sorry, I kicked the ball too hard" she said with a bright smile on her face.

She was a beautiful girl; the simple way she looked, turned me up side down.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's not like I was hit by a brick"

"Umm, do you wanna play with us?" She took the ball from my hand, showing in direction of few little children.

"Why not? Sounds fun"

I spend few hours there, laughing and feeling like I wasn't a mature person with a thousands things to do.

At the end, I invited all to ice cream. I couldn't take my eyes from her and I knew that I have to act then, or never.

"For hitting me today, you owe me something. Dinner, tonight, just me and you"

I felt that she hesitate to respond me and I swear that I saw h eyes getting watered.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. I have responsibilities to take care off. Thank you for this wonderful time, for ice cream. I gotta go now"

"There's something I need to know? Are you married or something?" I grabbed by the wrist, stopping her leaving.

"Yes, I'm married with my work" she gave me a shyly smile.

"Listen, Jared *she sit down* I take care of 30 children from an orphanage house. Today you saw only few of them. In every night, before sleeping, I kissed them, on forehead, each one of them and I can't miss. They need that"

I felt a little bad, but then I had an idea.

"Listen, I volunteer to teach them how to play at guitar. What do you think? It will be entertaining and useful"

After few moments of thinking, she agreed.

Days had past and with every moment spend there, I discover myself, I felt more better...I started to truly live, between those innocent kids, who filled my soul with joy. But also, I started to fall in love.

In one night, after the children was in their beds, I took her on the roof.

Sitting down and looking at the stars, I took her hands in mine, and I leaned to kiss her lips.

She respond me, and feeling her taste, I felt my stomach twist inside me.

"Jay, I ..."

"Shh, tonight I don't wanna hear a word, only moans"

There, on the roof, only the moon and stars saw what we did, but tonight, I will take her to my place, I need to hear some screams.
