Ch. 2- The Date!

“Hey come on already and help us verplaats the furniture into the house slackers,” called Athan in his usual impatient voice.
“We’re coming,” Jareth called back leaning out his window. “You should start moving some of your boxes inside will it’s still sprinkling out so they don’t get too wet. That is the last piece of furniture they need to verplaats inside so I won’t belong.”
“Okay, I’ll get to it,” I zei obediently.
“Thanks,” he zei leaning towards me to give me a peck on the cheek.
As soon as he was over with his brother and their vrienden I climbed out of the truck to start unloading the boxes. The very first box I pulled out fell open at the bottom, sending all of its contents falling to the ground. The volgende thing I knew Jareth was behind the truck helping me pick everything up.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that it was raining on the way here,” he apologized.
“It’s fine; it was my stupid fault for not bothering to support the bottom.”
“No it’s not fine, you’re not stupid, and it’s not your fault.”
“Yes it is.”
“I forgot how stubborn u are.”
“Mother says I got it from my dad.”
“You probably did.”
“Thanks,” I zei sarcastically.
After that we moved all of my boxes in a little meer carefully. He got them out and took them up to the room that I got. He didn’t let me do much of the work period. He actually unloaded everything but one box because he had so much time. He zei that I had to unload the last box because he had to go home pagina for avondeten, diner before his mother yelled at him through his cell phone to get home. I was glad he chose not to unpack hat box since it contained everything that I didn’t want him to see like my favoriete picture of him with chocolate frosting all around his mouth. I told him that I had gotten rid of it. He was dumb enough to believe me considering the fact that I’m a horrible liar.
“How did the moving in go,” asked my nosiest sister, Elvira.
“It went fine,” I zei avoiding the direct answer that I wanted to give saying that it was the best thing in the world for me because I knew that she would raise cain and tell him about my answer.
“Only fine, I thought it went over a little better than fine with the peck on the cheek he gave you,” she provoked me even farther into almost giving away what I really wanted to say but also keep to myself.
“Quit provoking her Elvira! If she wants to keep her reply to herself then let her,” exclaimed Aleera with Alla right behind her.
“Oh come on Al, u know u want to find out to,” complained Elvira.
“Yes I do want to find out but I have enough sense not to ask unlike some people that I know,” Al zei aiming her words directly to Elvira.
“Sounds like u wanna fight sister,” snarled E getting into a crouching position ready for attacking.
“I thought you’d never ask,” snarled Al right on back.
“E, Al not now remember what happens to A if a fight goes on around her,” zei Alla who was now stepping in between the two of them.
“Thank u Alla,” I zei just as soon as I had caught my breath enough to speak.
“She’s right E, we shouldn’t fight in front of A. I can’t believe that I could be so thoughtless.”
“Yeah, I should have remembered also,” zei E getting up from her crouch.
“Girls, it’s time for dinner,” called mother from the bottom of the stairs.
“You coming,” asked Aleera.
“I’ll be down in a few minutes,” I replied looking up from the box I was opening.
“Are u going to be alright,” asked Aleera looking a bit nervous and worried.
“Yeah I’ll be fine. Leera just go down and tell mom I’ll be down in a few minuten after I unpack this last box.”
“Okay but yell if u need anything.”
“I will,” I promised.
After a minuut of two I heard a tap on my window. I turned around to see if it was just the trees but it wasn’t. It was Jareth. I immediately went to the window to let him in.
“How did u get up here,” I zei in a whisper.
“I climbed the boom just outside your window,” he answered in whisper like he didn’t want to get caught being here.
“I have to finish unpacking then I have to eat dinner. You’re meer than welcome to stay in here just as long as u keep quiet.”
“I was going to ask u if u wanted to go out and let me toon u around the town when everyone else is asleep.”
“I’d love to, just let me finish unpacking, eat, then we can leave just as soon as I make sure everyone else is asleep, but under one condition.”
“What’s that condition?”
“You have to stay with me until I’m in a deep enough sleep for u to leave after we come back.”
“I don’t mind that condition.”
“I figured u wouldn’t. u need to hide somewhere now, I hear somebody coming to check on me. Hurry!”
“Are u alright,” asked Lucine a little suspiciously.
“Yeah I’m fine. Lu u look a little suspicious about something, why?”
“I thought I heard u talking to someone in a hushed tone.”
“You’re just being paranoid,” I replied.
“I guess I am, any ways, when are u coming down to eat?”
“I’m coming right now,” I zei so he would leave.
“Okay, I’ll see u downstairs then.”
“I’ll be back up as soon as I’m finished eating, don’t move,” I whispered as soon as I knew my brother was out of earshot.
“I wasn’t planning on it,” Jareth whispered back from his place on the ceiling between two beams.
“I promise I’ll be back in just a few minutes, I’m not really all that hungry anyways.”
“Just hurry up before I fall and give us away,” ordered Jareth.
“’Kay, love you.”
“You didn’t eat very much A,” complained my mother.
“I wasn’t all that hungry,” I replied.
“You should’ve been after that long trip here.”
“Well I’m not so I’m going to go get a douche and go to bed a bit early to night.”
“Alright just be careful when u and vlaamse gaai, jay go out tonight.”
“MOM HOW’D u KNOW THAT?!”
“I have ears.”
“Of course u would use your supersonic hearing to listen in on my private conversation.”
“I heard a tap on your window so I had to listen.”
“I’m leaving now.”
“Remember to take a douche before u leave.”
“Whatever.”
“What’s wrong?”
“My mother was listening in to our conversation.”
“So she knows that I’m taking u out for a night on the town,” asked vlaamse gaai, jay dropping down lightly to his feet.
“Yep and she’s expecting to hear all of the details as soon as I’m back. Oh and Lu says he doesn’t want me injured in any way while I’m out with you,” I zei heading towards my closet to get myself a cute outfit for our date.
“Okay and don’t worry about your outfit, I’ve already picked out and put it in your bathroom for when u get out of the shower.”
“Thanks,” I zei a little weirded out.
“No problem,” Jareth replied smiling at my reaction.
I couldn’t help but smile with him. His perfect teeth gleamed in the light of my room. I couldn’t imagine how my teeth looked though door the way his eyes lit up when he saw me smile they seemed to be perfect for him. I could see the intensity in his eyes. I could tell that he wanted to pull me close and hard, kiss me like there was no tomorrow, never let me go and for a moment I was wishing he would do just that. I hesitated a moment before breaking this extremely intense but still comfortable silence with, “Well I should probably get in the shower.”
“Oh, yeah. I’ll wait right here,” he replied sitting on the edge my bed.

“I’m sorry there’s not much to do in this town at night.”
“No it’s alright, it’s tons better than Luckey. I mean come on, the only cool thing that ever happened there was Luckey Fest, and that’s mainly one big flea market.”
Jareth laughed, “I guess that is worse than here. Just to get a thrill I either sneak into Botanical Gardens of Wildwood Park.”
“Show me what Botanical Gardens looks like.”
“Okay, if that’s what u want. Botanical is this really beautiful garden park; I guess u could call it.” As we walked through the dark and eerily silent neighborhoods he explained in almost full detail how beautiful the park looks at night. “I’m sorry we have such a long way to walk from the house to Botanical. Just for a heads up we’re going to pick up a few of my vrienden along the way.”
“Okay, but I don’t know any of your friends,” I complained mainly trying to convince him to have this stay just the two of us without just telling him straight out that it should be just the two of us.
“Come on you’ll love them.”
“I’ll meet them tomorrow.”
“Fine,” Jareth zei giving into my plea.

“Wow this place is soooooo pretty,” I exclaimed as soon as we got to Botanical Gardens.
“I told you.”
The volgende thing we heard were police sirens heading in our direction.
“Crap, there was a reason why I was going to get my friends. That reason was because one of them is a seer! She threatened me that if I didn’t take her and the rest of our vrienden that she would call the police on us.”
“What do we do now,” I asked. I was getting really nervous but excited.
“We run and hide.”
Apparently his meaning of run and hide was to jump an extremely tall fence and climb a huge boom somewhere in the woods behind Botanical.
“Pssst,” came a voice from somewhere below us.
