Her Unexpected Life

Chapter 3

Cereza's POV

Dinner went well, Jason didn't bring up the whole 'Eric' situation to my mom, which I was grateful for.

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.

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

"Imma ask you one more time! Are you going to homecoming?" Jason asked again.

"YES! Yes, I promise!" I screamed.

"That's more like it." Jason said  after he 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.
