She gently placed one of her hand on his face and slowly guided his face to look at her. "Albert. I’m in love with you… You are the one I want… I want a future with you… Even if you end up having to go back to Germany. I can’t and won’t go back to being just a friend after what we did.” He moved one of his hands to brought it up to hers that was on his face still. Wrapping his hand around the back of hers as he slowly moved it to his lips. Placing a gentle kiss on the palm of her hand as he kept his eyes locked on hers.
“Hearing you say this really does make me happy. But as of right now, I just don’t see us being together really being possible. I will have to return back to Germany once the school year is over… As much as I wish we could be together forever, unfortunitly life will keep us apart..” He sighed. “I love you more than you will ever know, and I, myself, don’t see us being able to just going back to being just friends.”
She smiled when she noticed Ash was looking at her puzzled. But she kept her thoughts to herself as she giggled quietly. She still couldn’t believe what they had done back in the room. And in the elevator. She placed her fingertips up to her lips as she recalled both of their lips against hers. They were almost alike yet different at the same time.
With her other hand, she lowly moved it underneath the table, grabbing the bench between her legs. She then closed her legs around her arm.“Sooo… Are we official…or is this just a one time thing…?” She was curious on what this had made them. Really wishing they were more than just a friend and her boyfriend.
Piper stood there nervous for what he would or could say. She watched him move his hand to hers. He wrapped it around the back of her hand as he slowly moved them to his lips. He gently kissed the palm of her hand as he stared into her eyes. She stared into his too. She wasn’t prepared for what was about to be said.
“Hearing you say this really does make me happy. But as of right now, I just don’t see us being together really being possible. I will have to return back to Germany once the school year is over… As much as I wish we could be together forever, unfortunately life will keep us apart..” She smiled at first hearing him say it made him happy made her smile. However, what he said after that made her heart sink.
She felt the tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn’t loose him. How could she possible keep him here though. She had no words to say. What could she say in this moment. Her mind was racing with thoughts. Maybe he said that because he liked someone back in Germany. She knew this was too good to be true. However, her eyes never left his. Then she heard him sigh “I love you more than you will ever know, and I, myself, don’t see us being able to just going back to being just friends .”
This part made her smile weakly. It was sweet. She agreed. “So… we agree that we can’t be just friends anymore. You know… there is alwasy long distance. I could come visit you in Germany… I’m sure you could come back here and visit me… Like if we decided to try that is… We don’t have to figure it all out right now.” She said to him. She knew though that if it was true love then they could make it work. Sure it would be hard, but she was willing to do hard for him because she wanted him… All of him forever and ever.
Ash watched her. He took in everything she did. He smiled as she touched her lips. It looked as if she was recalling things. Then she said “Sooo… Are we official…or is this just a one time thing…? ” Jax just sat there listening. Jax was cool with whatever they decided. Yes he had a say in it too, but he didn’t want to make things awkward. Ash then spoke before Jax could even think of speaking. “What do you want US to be baby? You make the call in this… Just remember… I make the calls in bed.” He smirked at her. He knew they both had moments in the bedroom to call the shots. Jax just smiled and nodded.
She smiled weakly. " So… we agree that we can’t be just friends anymore. You know… there is always long distance. I could come visit you in Germany… I’m sure you could come back here and visit me… Like if we decided to try that is… We don’t have to figure it all out right now.”
Taking in her words carefully, he knew what she said was always a possibility but it would come with a whole new set of struggles. Challenges were sure to arise from being so far from each other, and they would have to have absolute trust in the other to stay faithful. It felt like a gamble. His eyes scanned her eyes as if looking for something he already knew.
He leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead. Lingering for a moment longer before he moved his face down so his forehead was against hers. His voice lowered then normal as he spoke. “I love you, Piper. That is all I really know.” He paused for a second to let it sink in. Though he felt like she didn’t really need it to sink in at all. Maybe he just needed it to sink in for himself.
Her eyes flickered between the two of them. Ah had made it sound like he really didn’t care as long as she was happy. While Jax had stayed quiet. Her gaze swept from Ash to Jax. Curious what they all really wanted. "ooookay…Jax… What do you want…this to be? Us to be?
Piper watched Albert take her words in. She was nervous and scared for what he might say. All she knew for sure was that she loved him. They could figure everything else out later. Albert leaned in placing a kiss on her forehead before resting his forehead on hers. “I love you, Piper. That is all I really know.” She smiled softly at him then leaned in and kissed him. “I love you too Albert”
Jax watched Jennifer look at him. Then she said "ooookay…Jax… What do you want…this to be? Us to be? Jax thought for a moment. He wasn’t sure what he wanted them to be. He took a deep breath. “Honestly, i haven’t thought about that. I don’t know… I mean like do we have to label it right now? It’s new…” He said as he looked at Jennifer and not at Ash.
She had leaned in and kissed him before pulling away. “I love you too Albert.” He glanced over and noticed they had been standing there for a bit longer than needed. They were getting stared at. He leaned in and whispered. “As much as I’d like to stay here and continue talking, I think we should probably go elsewhere. What do you think?”
“Honestly, I haven’t thought about that. I don’t know… I mean like do we have to label it right now? It’s new…” She felt her heart sank a little but she kept her playful smile. Taking in both of the guys demeanor, it just seemed they were just gonna go with whatever decision she’d decide, or at least play along.
She let out a small sigh. Maybe it was just her that wanted to rush into this and label it. Maybe Jax was right, it’s new and probably should be taken slow.. She looked down at her lap. “. . .” She didn’t even know how to respond, so she stayed quiet a bit longer.
He leaned in and whispered “As much as I’d like to stay here and continue talking, I think we should probably go elsewhere. What do you think?” She giggled and nodded her head. “Yeah, I think we should get out of here. Where to now?” She asked as she headed for the door.
Jax leaned towards Jennifer. Then he spoke barley above a whisper. So only she could hear him. “I thought that was the best thing to say to keep Ash from trying to kill me… I mean… I want you is all I know.” Luckily for Jax, Ash was busy on his phone.
Magnolia was in the Pancake Crown diner with her brother Luke on a Saturday afternoon, just getting up to trouble. The diner was a ways from the school she and her brother went to but since the diner was close to St Andrews, she would frequently go to it by driving in her old beat up truck. St Andrews was the school she and her brother had left 3 years ago when their mother took them out if it, still, that didn’t mean she had to stop talking to some of the people she had met there.
“Ur stiff arm is about to give out feller.” Magnolias face was red from arm wrestling with Jax. Her body was stiff and she was completely focused on taking him down. A group of people around them were watching. Some people being from St Andrews and some from West Nottingham Academy. Like she thought she would due to practice, his arm went down and she jumped up from the table with her arms raised, hooting and hollering. “Take that Jax! Now who arm wrestles like a girl?” She made a funny face at him. Jax was her ex but they were no longer together. Now she just teased him whenever she could and didn’t like him very much at the same time. They were in between friends and enemies at this point. Her brother Luke just laughed beside them, shaking his head. He didn’t often get up to stuff like that as much as she did and Magnolia thought it was a shame. He could probably arm wrestle Jax too. “Hey your arm was still shaking!” Jax spouted back. "Hey, ur arm was shakin too feller."Luke retorted. He laughed and looked at his friend Leo who was also standing around them. Magnolia continued teasing Jax when her sister Corbin walked in the diner with her friend Fleur.
Corbin walked in the diner and immediately saw her sister surrounded by a crowd as usual. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Oh my gosh they’re so embarrassing. I bet she’s telling that story about how she arm wrestled an alligator again.” She just shook her head and continued watching her sister. Corbin always found it embarrassing how her siblings acted sometimes but deep down she loved them.
Jax smiled as he took a sip of his soda. “I can’t wait for food to get here” He smiled as he leaned back. Ash was now off the phone. [color=darkturquoise] "Yeah, it should be here shortly. Then he saw Albert and the girl leave. He sighed, he still couldn’t believe Jennifer.
With her hand in his, he lead them out of the cafe. Not entirely sure where to look but he just followed the crowd of people. Looking back to make sure Piper was alright every so often.
He wasn’t sure how much walking they had done so far but he decided to stop walking, and getting himself in front of her. Crouching down for her to get on. “Hop on love. I’ll carry you.”
She had noticed that Piper and the guy from earlier were leaving the cafe. Before they left, Piper had glanced over at them. Jennifer held up her hand and did the motion of texting as if to say “talk later?” She had so many questions to ask, but she could tell now wasn’t the time… Ash made that clear to her as well as Piper. She just hoped that she hadn’t ruin whatever was going on between the two of them.
She sighed as she took another sip of her water as they waited. The silence was unbearable but she wasn’t sure what to even say now. Since Ash didn’t really answer her question the way she had hoped and Jax was just Jax, trying not to p-ss off Ash.
She down cased her eyes to the floor. Not really ready to look at Ash, she knew he was disappointed at her for earlier…Or maybe she was just over thinking it once more. She began biting the corner of her lower lip as her feet were fidgeting with the other.
Piper followed him close behind like she was a puppy. She saw him looking back every so often at her and she would smile. Then she was shocked when he got directly in front of her and crouched down. His back was facing her as he said “Hop on love. I’ll carry you.” She giggled “Are you sure baby?” She asked as she walked closer to him leaning her body against his back.
Ash had been on his phone not realizing what was going on. He looked up and noticed Jax and Jennifer were both sitting in silence. “You okay babygirl?” HE asked as he saw the food comign their way.
“Are you sure baby?” She leaned her body against his back. He smiled as he looked slightly back. “I wouldn’t be asking you if I wasn’t sure.” He chuckled lightheartedly.
Ash smiled but didn’t believe her. “Food is here baby. Let’s eat. We will talk more after we get done eating yeah?” He could tell something was bothering her.
He stood up as he wrapped his arms around behind him to better support her as he walked. Enjoying the way her small frame felt against his back. “Let me know if you want down, love.”
She grabbed her fork and started to eat her food, even though she no longer had an appetite. She forced herself to eat as she looked towards the window. Being drawn in by the warm of the sun light.
She smiled as he did what he had to and started walking again. “Let me know if you want down, love.” She laid her head on his shoulder whispering in his ear. “I will baby… I can’t wait to get you back to the hotel and have you again.”
Ash wondered what was wrong. Did he do something wrong. He was so confused. However, he started eating. Jax smiled as they ate. “D^mn this is better then it looks.” He smiled at them both. He could feel some tension between them. “What happened before I came in? Like when I looked into the window you two were talking and stuff. Now… now y’all are silent..”
He chuckled. “To get me back to the hotel? Are you already planning to have me again, Piper?” He laughed slightly as he walked. Noticing the music shop just ahead of them.
She looked over at Jax before giggling slightly. “*Your food smells good, Jax…” A playful smile played on her face as she leaned her head to the side slightly. “We were talking to my friend that had just recently left…How are you feeling?”
She heard him chuckle. Then he said “To get me back to the hotel? Are you already planning to have me again, Piper ?” She couldn’t help but giggle. “Maybe I am… maybe I’m not… guess you will have to wait till we get back to the hotel to find out.” She giggled as they reached the store.
Jax smiled as he listened to Jennifer. “Your food smells good, Jax…” He nodded at her. “IIt is very good, but I know you don’t eat hamburger steak. So, I won’t even offer you a bite.” Then Jennifer said “We were talking to my friend that had just recently left…How are you feeling? ” Jax smiled “I’m feeling good and you?” He winked at her.
Jennifer had ignored Ash. Then Jax spoke and she responded to him and was smiling and stuff. Ash rolled his eyes. Then Jax said something about Food and Jennifer doesn’t it. Ash looked curious at them.
He made his way over to the door, before he crouched down for her to get off. “I guess i will just have to wait and see.” He stood back up once she was off and opened the door for her to enter. Following in behind her. He browsed around the store until he found what he was looking for, a guitar he could test out.
He asked the employee if he could give it a try and when the dude said go for it. That is what he did. Gabbing it and setting himself up on a seat. He smirked as he looked over to Piper.
She flinched back a little. A bit surprised that he remembered. “I’m a bit surprised you even remember..” She glanced over at Ash and noted him looking at them curiously. But her attention on him was short as she looked back at Jax. “But I wasn’t even going to ask for a bite.”
She outstretched her leg to try to get Ash’s foot locked between hers but she was only able to nudge the tip of his shoes with hers. She cursed in her head for being born with little legs and looked over at Ash with a pleading eyes. She didn’t want to say what it out loud.
It had been a week since the Halloween party and she was feeling rather bored. Nothing interesting was going on it the school nor the town by the school so she had set off to got to a different town. She had heard that this town had a couple of pet stores and a few petting zoos. So she had made her way to the places and haven’t been able to peel herself away. The endless fluff loves was all she needed to feel whole and complete.
Jax was at the diner with his ex and her brother. Him and his ex, Magnolia were arm wrestling. He had no intentions of winning it. However, he couldn’t just let her win without making it seem like he put up a fight. Jax wasn’t one to usually give in and let other’s win. However, when it came to Magnolia, he would always let her win. He watched her jump up from the table. He chuckled but what she didn’t know was he let her win. “Take that Jax! Now who arm wrestles like a girl?” Then to make it seem like she beat him fair and square she said “Hey your arm was still shaking!” Then her brother came back with “Hey, ur arm was shakin too feller.” Jax just smiled and let her tease him.
