My Life is Far from Free

Chapter 14

came back into the room to find Jeff and Jack sitting opposite from eachother. Jack was desperatly looking around trying to ignore the horrible stare Jeffwas giving him. I walked over to him slapping Jeff on the back of his head. "Lets go" I said giving Jeff a stare telling him to back off. I think he got the point. He just rolled his eyes and left the room. Jack took a breath relieved. I hadn't known Jeff could be that intimidating.

Jack and I walked out the door. he slid his hand in mine. "Where are we going?" I asked him letting him drag to his car. He looked at me and smiled. " It is a suprise" He said as he opened the car door and I climbed inside. I started guessing where we could be going. "Are we going to your house and hanging out?" He shook his head.

"Are we going to see a movie?" Another shake of the head.

"Are we going to the beach? Park? Tell me when I am close!" This made him laugh. What is so funny about guessing wrong so many times! I dont like getting things wrong.

After about a thousand more guesses and head shakes Jack stopped in front of a small store. I looked up and read, de belles robes. Obviously french. We had to learn it when we were younger. " Why are we at a dress store? Oh please tell me I get to see you in a dress! That would be so funny!" Jack laughed and shook his head. I think I am going to punch someone if I see one more person shake their head. "No," he replied. "Im not the one trying on dresses. You are." I dropped my jaw. "I am?" I asked "Why?"

He smiled. " You promised me that you would come to prom with me. So we are going to pick out a dress.

I reached inside my pocket and pulled out nothing but air. "Sorry but I don't have any money." I said trying to make an excuse to leave. He reached into his pocket and took out his wallet. "I do," he replied. Great. The excuse didnt work. I sighed seeing no other way out. "Okay".

In the store Jack went straight to looking through dresses to find ones he liked. There was a long red one that I perticulary liked but Jack said I it was too tight when I tried it on. He then chose a blue short dress. It was way too big and way too short. Every one we picked out there was a problem with. Too floral, too short, too long, too tight, too loose they could go on forever. I was almost exhausted and tired of trying on dresses when Jack pucked out a silver dress. It wasn't too long or short. It was made of silk and had quarter sleeves. Those are my favorite. It fit me just right so it wasnt too tight or too loose. When I showed Jack his jaw dropped and his eyes grew wide. Did it look that good? Apparently I did because he didnt take his eyes away from me. "I take it this is the one?" I asked laughing. He nodded.

After buying the dress, Jack took me to his house where I was greeted with slobbers by two cute little puppies. They were so adorable. " Come on, we can go to my room for a little while before we pick out a movie to watch." Jack said. I got up following him to his room. It was clean for a boys room. There was no clothes or anything laying on the ground. It was spotless! My room seemd like the dump compared to his. I dropped on his bed and layed there staring at the ceiling.  "This is my room! Do you like?" he asked. I nodded. "Are you ready to go to prom with me? I payed for the tickets." I looked at him and he had this wide smile that grew and grew every second. I smiled back and nodded again. "Yeah, im so excited!" His smile never left so I decided it was okay to stare back at the ceiling. "Want to play a game?" Jack asked sitting right next to me. I shrugged, "Sure!" He thought for a minute and finally thought of something. "Let's twenty questions." I I I wasn't so sure about twenty questions. " How about we ask as many questions before we get tired out?" He agreed and told me to go first." Have you ever broke the law?" Not the best question but it worked.

He thought for a moment and answered. "Yes, when I was young, my friends and I were walking an decided to go to a store. In that store was clothes including thongs. I was dared to steal one and I did. I left the store with a thong stuffed in my mouth unnoticed." I laughed.

"So you stuffed the thong in your mouth?" I barley asked. He shrugged laughing too. "I was young and didn't know how to steal it!" He confessed.  I laughed more and he continued. "Okay no that I have confessed my hanous crime its your turn. What is  the most embarresing thing you have ever done?" I stared back into my past and knew right away. 

"I peed my tutu during a ballerina recital. You could see the pee and everything!" He started laughing again. This is going to be an interesting night.; "Okay, my turn again. Have you ever regretted dating someone?" He stood quiet. "Jack?" He came back to reality.

"My last girlfriend. I thought she was the one. Obviously she wasn't."

"What happened?" I aksed.

"She was perfect, that is until I found out she was cheating on me with my best friend. I had to find out from someone I didn't even know. Turns out she was cheating on me the whole entire relationship. Three years. Three years we were together and three years she was cheating on me. I didn't even think I could be happy again before I met you." He tgurned his gaze away from me so fast I could swear you can break a neck doing that.

The game was definatly over. He looked like he didn't want to play anymore so I didn't push it. "Lets watch a movie!" I said, it was worth trying to switch the subject.  He nodded and we picked a movie and left to go watch it in the living room.

During the movie I got a little thirsty and bored. "Jack! Jack! Jack!" I whispered. He didn't hear me so I threw a pillow and it hit him. He laughed and looked at me questioningly. "I want a smoothie!" He looked away ignoring me. No way was I going to let him get away with it! I got up and sat on him and screamed his name. "Jack! Jack!" I sounded like Rose in the movie Titanic. He laughed but wouldnt look at me. Instead he looked through me like a ghost. I wonder if he can look through a pillow? Time to test it out! I pelted him with the pillow i threw from earlier and he threw his arms infront of his face. He couldn't protect himself that easiliy. He laughed and screamed "Okay! Okay! We can go make smoothies!" I yelped with joy and got off him. I prounced to the kitchen and Jack followed laughing.  We got all the ingrrediants for the makings of the best smoothie ever and piled them into the blender. I waited eagerly for my smoothie to be finished but Jack didnt turn the blender on, he just stared at me. "Please just turn it on. I want my smoothie" Ibegged. He nodded and grabbed me firmly and moved me infront of him. He pressed the blender on and smoothie squirted everywhere. I yelped and Jack laughed. We had smoothie all over us! "Did I tell you We dont have a cap for the blender?" He asked laughing some more!
