When The Lights Go Out

0.3 ~ The First Lesson

     It only took about 5 minutes for Alec to bust through my door. I am still in the same position, unable to move from the pain. I lift my head to see him breathing heavily, staring at my condition. "Oh my god," He breaths out, rushing over to me.

     "I can't move, it hurts." I groan and he takes a seat next to me. I cry in fear as he begins to touch my shoulders, he instantly lets go and throws his arms up.

     "It's Alec, Jade. It's me." He pleads. I relax slightly and nod, giving him the okay. He lifts me up from my shoulders and I collapse into his lap, my head resting on his leg. "What can I do?" 

     "Just hold me please." I cry out. He leans back against the headboard of my bed and pulls me into his chest. I can hear his heart beating a hundred miles an hour, just like mine. He holds my head as I sob into his chest, "It's okay, I'm here."

      After I cry all my tears, I look up at him. He was looking back down at me, a worried expression on his face. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as I realize how ugly I must look. As if he read my mind, he sighs and says, "I know this might not be the best time, but you're so beautiful."

     I buried my face in his chest again, not wanting to look at him. He chuckles at my reaction. How do I respond to that? 

     I gulp, "Alec?" 

     "Yes?"

     I lock eyes with him again. "I know you said the deal starts tomorrow but-"

     "Don't worry," He cuts me off, "I'm not going anywhere." 

     An hour had passed and I finally released myself from his grip. He pushes himself of the bed and positions himself on my bean bag. I sit up a little, wincing at my sore hips. "You don't have to sleep on the floor." I tell him.

     "What do you mean?" He wiggles around in the bean bag, "This thing is comfy as hell."

     I laugh and shake my head before throwing him over a fuzzy blanket. I stretch my arm out passed my bed and flick off the lights. The room falls dead silent. I let out a deep sigh. I start to close my eyes. Fear starts crawling up my stomach and I squeeze my eyes shut in frustration. It's not working, I'm still horrified.

     "Alec?" I whisper.

     "Hmm?"

     "I, um... I can't-"

     "I'm coming over." He says. I sigh in relief, happy he didn't make me ask. I hear him push himself off the bean bag and make his way over to my bed. Luckily I had a big window so it was far from dark. I saw him smile softly. 

     "No touching, no dirty jokes, no dirty thoughts, no dirty anything." I warn him and he just chuckles the slides next to me.

     "Come on," he complains, "Just one dirty thought?"

     I sigh in defeat, "Just one."

     I look over and see him squeeze his eyes close with a huge smile across his face. "Mmmm," he moans dramatically. I reach over and slap his chest. I am smiling, but I don't want him to notice.

     When we finally settle, I feel his hand slide over next to mine. "No touching," I reminded him. He ignores me and places his pinky finger over mine. 

     I open my mouth to protest but close it as he pleads, "Please?"

     I scoff, "Okay. Just one pinky."
