Jackie Jones and the Boys Next Door(COMPLETE)

Chapter 23: Turkey Tits

The next day I get up at first light and I go to the mall with my mom and Emma as promised. They buy so much stuff we had to keep making runs to the car to unload the heavy bags. At 4:00pm they agree to let me go. I'm gonna take the car home and they plan on staying behind to keep shopping. They are going to get a lyft home.

"You both are like junkies." I say as we walk towards the exit where the car is.

"Jax, we bought you a whole new wardrobe." Emma says. They did buy me so much stuff. Even if I didn't like it on and they did, it was purchased.

"You may change your mind about these  adorable half tops now that you're dating Jonas." My mom almost squeals.

"Mom, I hate them so much." I point out for the twentieth time today and Emma laughs.

"You just look good in everything we couldn't resist. If my son treats you bad I will kill him."

"His short comings are arrogance and smugness....oh and a bad temper when people treat me or Tosh poorly. I imagine he would never treat me bad."

"When you guys were little your mom and I had always seen this coming. You and Tosh are so funny together but you and Jonas have always just made us say, 'AW'." Emma has a wistful look in her eyes.

"Aw." My mom says and locks her arm in mine. "It's true."

I look at both of their faces and then I laugh. They are such nerds.

"Guys, we kissed. We didn't get married on a cliff in Barbados."

"We can both be happy about this though and say, 'AW.' as much as we want. I'm your mother, I get to be excited for you." Janie says and I clench my jaw to hold back from saying something nasty.

My mother? Technically it is her title but....

Then they start talking about more gifts and the shopping itinerary for the rest of the weekend. They plan on more shopping tomorrow.

I laugh. "You two need to eat." I point out.

"It will slow us down." Janie says and pops a jolly rancher in her mouth and then hands one to me and Emma.

They are surviving off of credit card highs and little bursts of sugar from the jolly ranchers. We haven't eaten and I'm hangry and annoyed that they bought me three half tops. I call Jonas in the car on the way home and we decide to go get food and see a movie. He comes running outside as soon as I pull up. He scoops up the basketball and makes a flawless lay up before he jumps in my car. Such a show off. He beams with smugness at how awesome he is at basketball.

He immediately leans in and kisses me and I get goose bumps all over.

"How was it?" He beams. "I missed you."

"You are going to have an amazing Christmas." I say with a huge smile. "Spoiled!"

"Tell me." He teases and squeezes my thigh. It kind of startles me when he does it. Jonas has been touching me in affectionate ways since I can remember but now this feels very sexy. I push his hand off my thigh and he shifts awkwardly in his seat.

"You okay?" He asks.

I sigh. "Maybe we shouldn't do this." I say with big eyes. "When you just did that it felt so....."

"Good." He says and raises his eyebrows.

Arrogant.

"No....it felt almost wrong." I say and study his face.

"Get out of that pretty head of yours. I'm starved." He says and squeezes my hand. It feels really nice, I hope this isn't a mistake.

"You have no idea what starving is! I was trapped in that mall with a bunch of Christmas crazed psycho's being made to try on half tops and forbidden to eat. It was awful." I roll my eyes. "And I had to be nice to my mom for a second day in a row because your mom was there."
