“That you would risk your life for me. I saw it in your eyes Elliott. You would die for me, wouldn’t you?” She asked bluntly.
“Jules, I would kill tigers for you. Yes, I would die for you.”
“I know you would,” she whispered, so thick I could barely understand her, her face tight with pain, “but please don’t.”
She leaned in to my lips and kissed them as deeply as she could without causing me pain. The unbelievable love I felt from her was overpowering and made me forget the hurt. I pulled her into my chest, kissing her with rigid lips, trying to channel all the passion I felt for her in them instead of taking it out on the rest of her.
When the kiss came to an all too short end she laid her head on my chest and we drifted off to sleep, our electricity warming us through and making us too tired to remember that it wasn’t allowed. Before I closed my eyes I could have sworn Jules had spoken but she was asleep. I simply heard, sleep well tonight, before slipping into a deep rest.
I woke startled at five in the morning to the sound of the phone ringing. I tapped Jules’ shoulder.
“Shit. Jules. Wake up babe.”
“Huh?”
“The phone’s ringing Jules.”
“Crap.” She stood and ran to answer it. “Hello? Yes, he is. I.....okay, yes ma’am.” She handed me the phone, “It’s your mom and she wants to talk to you.”
I dragged my hand over my mouth and tried hard not to panic.
“Hello?”
“What are you doing Elliott? Do you know what time it is?” She asked.
“Well, mom, it’s a long story.”
“I’m listening.”
“Basically, I got into a fist fight at Matthew Tanen’s party and got hurt.”
“Are you okay?”
“I think so. A few cuts and bruises but I think I’ll survive.”
“Oh, you think you’ll survive huh?”
“Yeah,” I continued, ignoring her sarcasm. “I was covered in blood and could barely walk so Jules brought me here to clean me up. I fell asleep on a chair in her living room.” I conveniently left out the part where she fell asleep in my lap. I didn’t find that to be particularly relevant to the story.
“And?”
“And that’s all.”
She sighed.
“Okay, well I’ll be up and waiting when you walk in our door in about five minutes. Understood?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I hung up the phone.
“Jules?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m in deep.”
She bit her bottom lip.
