Her Unexpected Life

Chapter 3

Cereza's POV

Dinner went well, Jason didn't bring up the whole 'Eric' situation.

It's only 6:30PM and Jason doesn't need to leave till 8:30PM. We were in my room talking about homecoming.

"Find a homecoming dress yet?" Jason asks. "No." I say.

"Well, you have to get a dress." He said. "Why?" I ask.

"Because, I told you that you're going to homecoming and that's final. What? You thought I was playing?" He asked.

"Homecoming is 4 days from now! I don't think I'm going at all!" I whine and plop down on my bed.

"So, you're telling me, that you not going?" He said walking to me slowly.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

He made his hands move in a tickling motion. "Uh oh." I said.

"Uh oh is right. Come here Cereza!!" He shouted. "Ahhhh no!!!" I screamed trying to make a run for it. He caught me and lifted me onto his lap and started tickling me.

"Haha! Oh my God, Jason stop!! Hahahahahaha!!!" I scream. "Are you going to go to homecoming?" He ask.

"I don't know!" I said. He started tickling me harder.

"Ahahaha! Noooo! Stop! Hahahaha! Stop, before you get punched! I ca-hahaha! I can't control my limbs when I get tickled!" I yell.

Jason laughed. "Ha! Punch me and see what happens." He said grabbing my side. A very ticklish spot for me.

"Hahahahaha! I'm gonna die, stop!" My eyes were starting to water.

"Imma ask you one more time! Are you going to homecoming?" Jason asked again. "Yes!" I screamed. Jason stopped tickling me. I caught my breath.

I had a thought about something.

"I don't have a date!" I exclaim. "Did you have a date before?" Jason asked. "Not really, no." I said.

Come to think of it, I've never had a date for Homecoming. What made me even say that?

"I'll be your date." He said quickly. Too quickly.

"Wait, really?" I asked shocked.

"Well, yeah. Now tomorrow, I want you to find a homecoming dress." He told me.

"What color are you wearing?" I ask.

"Black." Jason says. Guess I'm looking for black dresses.

I also noticed, that I was still in his lap. It was comfortable, very comfortable, too comfortable. I would have loved to stay there, but it was getting a bit awkward.

"Wanna watch TV?" I asked Jason.

"Yeah"

We both went downstairs to watch TV. After about an hour, it was around 7:15PM, and I was beginning to fall asleep. Early, right? I tried to stay up, but I was exhausted. From what exactly? Maybe I'd have more energy if I didn't exert myself trying to fight off being tickled!

My head started to drop and eventually I gave in and fell asleep right on Jason's shoulder. I still could hear a little bit of what was happening around me, but the sound was fading in and out the deeper I slept.

"Cereza. Cereza?" He shook me.

"Wow, she's really knocked out." He said. I really was, I was too tired to do anything. Jason got up. I don't know what he was doing, but all of a sudden he picked me up bridal style.

"W-What are you doing?" I said groggily. "Shhh, go back to sleep, I'm just taking you to your room." He said quietly.

"Okay." I close my eyes, but I don't go back to sleep just yet. He lays me on my bed and puts my blanket over me.
