Clace (Liberty High School) (Completed)

50. The Midnight Talk

Jace

After sitting on my bed for hours, I decide I have to go and see her! I look over at my clock, it's midnight. Crap! It doesn't matter, I have to talk to her. I sneak out of my house and take my car to her house. Maybe I should park a block away, so her mom doesn't see the lights. I decide to part a block away. I get out of the car and find her window. I decide the best course of action is to throw a pebble at her window. I pick up a pebble and hurdle it. It lands with a sharp thud. I see her head pop out of the window.

"Red, we need to talk," I try.

"Jace, it's in the middle of the night! I want to be sleeping," Red whines.

"Please Red, it's important," I whine back.

"Fine, I'll be down in a minute," Red concedes.

"Won't your mom catch you?" I ask.

"My mom is at work. She's working late. She won't be home until early in the morning," Red replies. Yes! Thank the Angel! This was going to be an even weirder conversation if Jocelyn was home.

Red comes down, and I meet her at the back door. "Jace, what's so important that you drove here in the middle of the night?" Red asks.

We go inside and go to her room. "Red, when you asked about taking the next step, I was hesitant. However, my hesitancy wasn't for what you think. I honestly don't know all of the reasons why I was hesitant. Some of it is just that it had been a long day. Also, I just wanted to fall asleep with you in my arms. Maybe...I just wasn't....ready. The biggest part, though is that I'm afraid I won't be good enough for you. Just please don't leave me," I manage. You sound so pathetic pleading for her to keep you, but if that's what you've got to do.

"Jace, you didn't hesitate because you....didn't want to with me?" Red asks shocked.

"No Red, just please promise you won't leave me," I beg.

"Jace, I'm not going to leave you. I'm sorry for jumping the gun on you. I was nervous and got over excited," Red whispers and looks away from me. No Red! Let me see those Emerald green eyes! I push her chin up gently. My eyes meet hers. I know my pansyness put my little Red through a cycle of vigorous torture where she blamed herself. It kills me to know she did that.

"Red, I swear it wasn't becasue of you. You're the only girl I'd ever even want to do that with," I try. She looks away. Words aren't working! Why can't she see? Maybe I should just take the bull by the horns.........

I pick her up and carry her to her bed with a gigantic smile on my face. Red squeals and her face gets red. I set her on her bed and hover over her."Jace, what are we doing here?" Red asks breathlessly.

"You'll see," I reply. I press my lips into hers and she pulls me closer. Our tongues dance, until I pull out. Red looks at me confused. You can do it! Just try your best!

"Jace, you don't have to," Red whispers. She knows me too well! Ugh! I can do it. "Whatever you do, I'll be happy. It's okay if your not ready. I don't want to pressure you. You never pressure me, and I hate to think I did that to you."

"Red, I...I want to try. I......it might be horrible. I've never really done that before. I mean when we were "working" on our project, I brushed my lips across your neck, but that's not the same. Like what if I go too fast? Too slow? Too hard?" I question.

"Jace, it's a learning experience. Just do whatever comes naturally to you," Red assures me. I'm so pathetic! She shouldn't have to be encouraging me! She deserves better!

"Red, I'm sorry I'm so pathetic. I know you deserve someone....better," I hold back tears.

Red pulls me closer to her and whispers in my ear. "You are more than good enough for me. You hear me. We're both good enough for eachother. Do we have scars, yes. Do we have issues were trying to work through, yes. Will we ever be good enough for anyone else, maybe. But are we good enough for eachother, yes. Do we make eachother better people, yes. Do we enjoy eachother's company, yes. So you see as far as I'm concerned, I deserve you and you deserve me."

I can't help it after that speech. Damn! She knows how to make me feel better! I feel something else get excited and quickly make sure it's not too prominent. Then, still hovering over Red, I hold her cheek with my hand.

(Author's Note: I'm sooooooo bad at writing this! I'm sorry!😯)

I lean down and slowly lick under her ear. I hear a giggle. Then, I decide to try something. I gently blow air onto her sticky wet neck. Her hands tighten their grip on my scalp when I do that. I continue this cruel (in a good way) torture on her neck, until I have to stop to take an actual breath. "Jace...that was....spectacular! We...should get some sleep. You know with school tomorrow and all," Red breathlessly comments.

"Okay, Red," I reply. I get up to leave and she pulls my shirt. Phew! She liked it! Yes! I didn't mess up!

"I thought you wanted to fall asleep with me in your arms?" Red asks. "I mean....if you still want to be my boyfriend...."

"Of course I want to be your boyfriend, as long as.....you still want to be my girlfriend," I reply.

"Okay, then it's settled, we're officially dating again," Red smiles.

"Oh also, I'd love to stay, but are you sure?" I confirm.

"Yes, Jace. Come and hold me, please," Red whines. I crawl into bed with Red, grab her in my arms, rest my hands on her stomach, and fall asleep.
