Precious (A/U: What if Jason had been Chloe's first crush?)

Chapter 1

(by Fidomom)

Chloe was in study hall when she became aware of him, of his eyes, blatantly staring at her. He was sitting at the cubicle directly beside her.
Chloe was getting annoyed. "What are you staring at me like that for, Jason?"
Without an audience Jason was actually a little self-conscious. He blushed and averted his eyes. Then he looked straight at her.
"I don't believe any of the things I've ever said about you."
Chloe's back stiffened at his statement. "What?"
Jason leaned a little closer to her, close enough that the scent of her shampoo was driving him wild.
"I was just being the jerk everyone expects me to be. I could learn a thing or two from you. You never let anyone dictate your actions for you."
Chloe's mouth opened slightly in shock. Jason Master's had just complimented her.It had to be a trick.
"Jason, what awful thing have you got planned for me? Why are you being so nice?"
Jason turned his eyes away before she could see the hurt. What did he expect really?
"Nothing, Chloe. I'm not going to start any of the name calling anymore and I won't let anyone else either."
He looked her in the eye as he said it and she saw a fierceness in his look. He had the most beautiful, incredibly green eyes she had
ever seen. Why had she never noticed before? Probably because she was always too busy avoiding looking at him.
"Ooooh! Jason Masters my unsung hero!"
He didn't avert his eyes quickly enough ... she saw him that time.
Chloe couldn't explain why after all the horrible names he had called her she felt remorse for having hurt him. She reached out a hand
and touched his shoulder. He groaned inwardly as she touched him. They had never had occasion to come into physical contact with eachother before. They both felt the magnetic pull.
"Jason? I'm sorry for making fun of you. Your offer was really very sweet! Thank-you, I appreciate it."
Jason fidgeted on the spot. Finally, he blurted out,
"The glasses don't really hide as much as you think they do. The baggy clothes don't conceal everything either."
Chloe suddenly felt exposed, defensive and angry,
"Who says I'm trying to hide anything anyway? And who the hell asked you?"
Jason knew the defensive strike all too well.
"Face it, Chloe, you are beautiful. I don't know why you try to hide it but it isn't working. I see through your disguise."
Chloe gave him a disdainful look while quietly panicking. Her disguise had always kept potential sexual predators away. Was she becoming lax? If so why?
"That's impossible, Jason, because there is no disguise for you to see through. This is me. What you see is what you get."
It was out before he could censor it,
"And I want to get you."
Chloe glared at him over her glasses.
"Just what do you mean by that, Masters?"
Jason considered lying, covering up how fascinated he was by her.
"Exactly how it sounded. I want to go out with you, on a date, I mean."
"What? Me? You do? Why? You think I'm easy prey?"
Jason's eyes widened in surprise.
"You? Easy prey? Not a chance! You intimidate the hell out of me!"
"So then why would you want to go on a date with me?"
"I like you. You are smart, beautiful and well no offense but bitchy. I'm attracted to you."
"You just called me a bitch and now I'm supposed to be thrilled that super-jock Jason Masters wants to date me?"
"I didn't call you a bitch! I said you were bitchy, as in you don't take any crap from anyone and you speak your mind even if it makes you unpopular. It's one of the things I most admire about you."
Chloe's defenses were wearing down which made her even angrier ... at herself. Did he have to be so earnest, so honest, so easy on the eyes?
"One of? Oh, right I'm supposed to believe that you admire a lot of things about me?"
Jason felt a growing excitement and awareness expand in his guts. She was actually fishing for compliments! Fine, if she wanted to know what he thought of her, then he would tell her.
"Chloe, I'm a teenage guy, the things I first noticed about you, first liked about you were definitely hormone based but since then other things about you have gotten my attention."
Chloe felt her heart pound and for once a sexual allusion did not repulse her as it had in the past. The way Jason was looking at her mouth as he spoke made her nervously lick her dry lips.
Jason saw that little bit of her tongue and his imagination went into overdrive.
"Ha! You are speaking in very vague terms, that tells me you are making all of this up! Probably just to humiliate me."
Jason was starting to get annoyed at her disbelief in her own attractiveness.
"The first week you were here, we were in math class. Your pencil rolled off your desk. I was sitting in the next row over one seat back. You stood up and bent at the waist to pick it up. I damn near fell out of my seat because damned if
Ghoul Girl didn't have a nice ass!"
Chloe gasped in shock.
"You pig!"
She raised her hand to strike him but he grabbed her wrist. He kept a firm non-painful grip on her wrist.
"Another time you arrived to class late and out of breath. I couldn't keep my eyes off your heaving chest. And your hair well I've always liked long hair on girls. It's incredibly sexy. Then of course there's your mouth, your lips. I got so
distracted last week when you reamed me out for calling you a freak, because you have the kind of lips that are meant for kissing. I love it when we have the same classes too because when you speak in class you sound like a genius. I am so totally in awe of you. I'm not as smart as you Chloe but I'm not as stupid as I seem either. I have one academic strength and it's spelling. Also, I may not be a singer like you are but I am an opera buff ... albeit, a closet one. Your bravery in the face of peer pressure astounds me everyday. I heard you laugh at something Shawn D. said recently and it was one of the most beautiful sounds I'd ever heard. I wish I could hear you laugh more. I saw you smile at Belle one day and it took away my breath. Is that specific enough for you? Now, will you at least, consider going out with me, on a date?"
Chloe was dumbfounded by everything Jason had just told her. By the look on his face, he already knew she was attracted to him too. He had been lightly stroking the pulse at her wrist as he talked to her in a quiet, confidential voice that was somehow very seductive. He had broken through a crack in her defensive wall and they both knew it.

"No Jason, you haven't done anything wrong. It's your friends. Jason you've been friends with those kids since what? Kindergarten? I don't want to come between you and your friends. I figure if we call off our date they'll quit teasing you."
Jason looked at her incredulously,
"Are you for real? You want to call off our date to make my friends quit teasing me? Chloe, I can take a little teasing.
It'll totally ruin my day though if you call off our date. Please tell me we're still on?"
Chloe looked at him puzzled,
"I don't understand Jason. I just gave you an easy out and you didn't take it. Won't you feel embarassed to be seen with me?"
Jason smiled at her softly,
"Nope. You're beautiful. And I'm finding out that you're sweet too. I really want us to still go out. Tell me yes again please?"
"Are you really sure Jason because I'll understand if you don't want to afterall?"
Jason took her hands in his and looked into her eyes imploringly,
"If it is up to me, Chloe then we are still on. Just tell me you'll still go out with me."
Chloe smiled into his eyes,
"Ok, Jason, yes I'll still go out with you. Jason? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jason seemed to be in shock.
"I ... um ... I.... wow, Chloe! You've never smiled at me like that before! God, you're so beautiful!"
Chloe blushed and averted her eyes. She changed the subject.
"What time do you want me to meet you? And where?"
Jason was still somewhat distracted,
"What? Oh, what time? Um. I was kinda hoping we could get an early start. Say 6ish? I'd like to take you to Tuscany'sfor dinner. Is that ok with you?"
Chloe was surprised but pleased.
"Yes Jason it's fine. So I should meet you there around 6?"
Jason looked upset,
"What? No! Can't I come pick you up at your house? Or is it that you're ashamed of me?"
Chloe drew in a sharp breath and reached out to touch his arm,
"No, Jason of course not! Wouldn't that be rich?! I am not ashamed to date you at all! I'll be ready at 6.What else are we doing?"
Jason grinned,
"Well actually there's one part of the evening I want to keep as a surprise. After the surprise I was hoping you'd play a game of Scrabble with me before we go dancing at that club I told you about. Ok? What time is your curfew?"
Chloe grinned,
"Sounds um interesting! Scrabble huh? Ok. As for my curfew ... I've really no idea ... in case you don't know I don't go out much so Nancy and Craig have never had occasion to give me one! What time can you get me home?"
Jason was pensive for a moment,
"Midnight? Is that too late?"
Chloe nodded smiling,
"Midnight's fine with me! I think I should start the negotiations for 2 am though, what do you think?"
Jason chuckled appreciatively,
"You really are a genius aren't you?"
Chloe smirked,
"Maybe I am ... I agreed to go out with you didn't I?"
Jason's whole face lit up in a dazzling smile. He leaned in to kiss her cheek, just as she leaned in to give
him a quick hug. Their lips touched. They both pulled back in surprise.
"I'm sorry, Chloe I just meant to kiss your cheek. Don't smack me, ok?"
Chloe laughed out loud,
"Jason, I wasn't going to smack you! I know you weren't trying anything. Besides I didn't mind, so much. There's something about you Jason that makes me break all my own rules."
Sapphire eyes locked on emerald ones.
"Any chance you'd let me mean to kiss you tonight?"
Chloe got all up in his face,
"Why wait?" And she kissed him.

It wasn't a long kiss, it wasn't a passionate kiss, it was gentle and reassuring. Jason barely had a moment to return it and it was over. They looked at eachother and smiled.

"I'll see you tonight, Jason."

Then she was walking quietly, gracefully away. Jason stood there with a dreamy look on his face and he whispered under his breath,

"She kissed me. Chloe really kissed me. I am going do everything I can to make tonight memorable and special for her!"

***********************************

Jason pulled up in front of the Wesley's residence, more nervous even than before a pivotal game. He took a deep breath and left his vehicle to go knock on the door. The door opened and there stood a man, presumably Chloe's dad,

"Hi, Dr.Lane, is Chloe ready?"

Craig couldn't help it, he bust up laughing and Jason colored profusely.

"I'm sorry it's just that nobody has ever called me Dr.Lane before! That is Chloe's adoptive last name, I'm Dr. Craig Wesley and you presumably are Chloe's date Mr. Jason Master's?"

Jason looked mortified,

"I'm so sorry, Dr. Wesley, I didn't realise! Oh, man. Is Chloe ready?"

Craig smiled at the young suitor good-naturedly,

"Don't worry about it. Chloe will be down in about 5 minutes, won't you please come in?"

Jason nervously stepped over the threshhold.

"So, Jason, I understand you play for several of Salem High's sports teams. Is there one sport you favor above the others?"

~Sports.Whew! Ok. This is a topic I know about.~

"Actually, Dr. Wesley, there is. I'd say it has to be basketball,. When basketball season starts up I get so hyped!"

"Ah, yes, basketball. I, myself used to play Intramural Basketball in med school. It was a great stress reliever, that didn't require a committment. We should try a little one on one sometime."

Jason nodded smiling in agreement. Craig and Jason both turned at the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Moments later Chloe was standing in front of Jason,

"Hi, Jason! Sorry to keep you waiting, I hope my Dad here wasn't giving you too hard of a time!"

Jason's mouth had opened and not closed since he first set eyes on her. She was dressed in black clothes still, but they were nothing like what she wore at school. She was wearing a simple classic cut black silk tank dress, black hose, and simple matte black leather flats. Her hair was down and in natural waves. The dress hem ended 1 and a half inches above the knee. There was a side slit that stopped just before her hip. The dress was not tight but it certainly didn't hide her figure either. She had a black velveteen hooded cape draped over her arm which she started to put on. Jason finally broke from his reverie and hurried to take over the task of helping her put her cape on.

"Chloe, you look incredible! I mean I always think you look beautiful but tonight even more so!"

Chloe smiled sweetly at Jason,

"Thank-you, Jason. Shall we?"

She placed her hand in the crook of his arm and turned to Craig,

"Ok, Dad, we're off. I promise I will be home by 1 as we agreed on. Tell Mom I hope she's feeling better and I'll see her tomorrow. Love you. Bye."

Craig smiled at his daughter with pride,

"Ok, honey, have a good time! Love you too sweetheart!"

As the door closed behind them Jason caught Chloe's hand in his, halting her,

"Thank-you, Chloe for agreeing to go out with me tonight. You really do look amazing."

He caressed her cheek with the backs of his fingers and smiled at her.

" Thank-you for asking me out, Jason. I am flattered. I have a feeling we are going to have a really good time together tonight."

Jason bestowed his most charming smile on her,

"Same feeling I get. Let's go beautiful!"

They got into his vehicle and Jason drove them over to Tuscany's.

Jason and Chloe were greeted by Maggie Horton's too bright smile,
"Good evening! Welcome to Tuscany's!"
"Masters."
Maggie seemed taken aback by his brusqueness but looked at her reservations list.
"Ah, yes! Come right this way and I will show you to your table."
Jason and Chloe followed Maggie through the restaurant. Jason pulled out Chloe's chair for her and she bestowed a surprised, pleased smile on him, and sat down. When Jason had seated himself, as well, Maggie assured them a waiter would be with them shortly, and she left them.
"Jason? Do you bring a lot of your dates here?"
Jason gazed intensely into her sapphire eyes,
"I've never brought any date here ever until you, until tonight. Usually my dates get fast food and a movie."
"So why did you bring me here then? Did you think I was too weird to enjoy a typical date?"
Jason was stunned,
"If you don't like it here Chloe we are so out of here. I'll take you wherever you'd like to go. I just wanted to show you how special I think you are. And for the record I do not think you are weird because weird implies something negative. You are unlike anyone I've ever met, and the more you let me know you the more I like you. Do you want to stay here, Chloe or go somewhere else for dinner?"
Chloe had visibly relaxed as he answered her,
"I'd like to stay, Jason. Thank-you for bringing me here." She smiled a gentle smile at him and he breathed it in.
The waiter came to the table, gave them menus, and took their drink orders.
When the waiter returned with their drinks Jason and Chloe were ready to order.
"I'll have the pasta primavera and a green salad hold the dressing."
"I'll have the lasagne and a green salad with house dressing."
The waiter took their menus and left.
There was an awkward silence. Jason fidgeted a little and looked at his hands,
"Why did you agree to go out with me, Chloe? I mean I'm really glad you did but I have been really mean to you in the past. It feels so surreal to me that you are sitting across the table from me smiling at me. You're about to have dinner with me and all I can do is recall every nasty thing I've ever done or said to you. I'm wondering why even though I'm almost afraid of your answer."
Chloe looked at Jason puzzled,
"Afraid? Why?"
Jason shrugged,
"Maybe you're just stringing me along and then you are going to pay me back for my past stupidity by publicly dissing me like I used to do to you? I'd definitely deserve it."
Chloe laughed outright,
"Oh, Jason! I'm not out for revenge against you. Not at all. I like you. I really do. I agreed to go out with you because you were so honest with me. You even risked a smack in order to truthfully relay events that led you to be interested in me in the first place. Honesty is important to me. Having said that I now feel obligated to tell you that I haven't been completely honest with you myself. Did you ever notice that you were the only one I ever reemed out for calling me names? It's because the only time the name calling hurt was if it was you doing it. It scared me that you got through my defenses. I was afraid you would catch on to the fact that it hurt and that you'd find a way to hurt me even more ... like maybe by pretending to like me, asking me out and stringing me along so you could make fun of me with your friends? This date held risks for us both, I'm feeling like it was a risk worth taking. How do you feel about it, Jason?"
Before he could answer the food arrived and the moment was gone.

Jason and Chloe stuck to safe topics throughout dinner. Topics such as school, mutual friends, teachers, opera, and basketball. When they had finished eating their meal, the waiter came and took their dessert orders. Chloe was humming along to the ambience music without really being aware that she was. Jason listened and watched in fascination. Chloe suddenly realised what she was doing , blushed and stopped. Jason was disappointed.
"Chloe that sounded so beautiful! I wish you would continue."
Chloe shrugged and looked apologetic,
"Thank-you, Jason, but I don't think this is the most appropriate place for singing."
Jason took in their surroundings for the first time, noting that other couples were up dancing on the token dance floor. He smiled nodding his head in agreement with her,
"I guess you're right. Care to dance with me instead?"
Chloe was somewhat taken aback, but pleased,
"I'd really like that."
Jason got up from his seat and escorted Chloe to the dance floor. They moved into eachothers arms, both were surprised again by the magnetic pull they felt on contact. Chloe could feel his muscular build through his dinner jacket. He felt so solid and warm. So masculine and he smelled so good. Tough yet tender like soft leather. Oh, she knew he could be angry and agressive, and could hold his own in any battle but right at this moment he felt so strong and safe, smiling into her eyes soothing her soul. Jason could feel her curvy body through their clothing. She felt so soft and feminine. Fragile and fragrant like a delicate flower. Oh, he knew she was strong and independent and could hold her own in any battle but right at this moment she was soft and sweet, smiling into his eyes soothing his soul. They maintained eye contact throughout the entire dance. Emeralds carefully caressing sapphires, sapphires tentatively touching emeralds.

I want to be
The first man you remember,
I want to be
The last man you forget.
I want to be
The one you always turn to,
I want to be
The one you won't regret.
May I be first
To say you look delightful?
May I be first
To dance you round the floor?
The very first
To see your face by moonlight?
The very first
To walk you to your door?

Well, young man, I'd be delighted!
There is nothing I would rather do!
What could be a sweeter memory
Than sharing my first dance with you?

I want to be
The first man you remember...

The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

I want to be
The one you always turn to...

The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

Seems the stars are far below us...

The moon has never felt so close before...

Our first dance will be forever...

And may it lead to many more!
I want to be
The first man you remember...

The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

I want to be
The one you always turn to

The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

I want to be
The one you always turn to
I want to be
The one you won't regret...

The very first...
The very first...

When the dance ended they both stood there for several seconds longer than necessary. Fighting the urge to kiss in public, they broke eye-contact with eachother. Their desserts arrived and they re-seated themselves to enjoy them in mutually comfortable silence.
When Chloe had finished her dessert she smiled at Jason and excused herself as she went to "powder her nose". He stood as she left and then sat to finish his own dessert. She returned just as he finished. Jason caught the waiter's eye and dealt with paying the bill. He looked at his watch and smiled. ~So far so good!~
"Chloe? I'd like for us to go now. Are you ready?"
Chloe smiled happily,
"Yes. I can hardly wait to see what the surprise is that you have planned for me. I've really enjoyed this first part of our date, Jason. Thank-you."
Jason grinned making his emerald eyes gleam,
"You're welcome, Chloe but you really ain't seen nothing yet!"
He stood and offered his arm. They left the restaurant together and Jason drove them to his place. He could hardly wait to see her reaction to his surprise. He was so sure she would love it! He glanced over at her and caught her looking at him, she didn't look away.

Chapter 8
by Fidomom

Jason helped Chloe out of the car and they walked to his front door. Chloe put her hand on his forearm, halting him before he let them both in,
"Jason, is anyone else home?"
Jason grinned flirtatiously,
"What do you hope the answer is?"
Chloe smiled and laughed,
"Like I'd tell you!"
Jason winked and relented,
"Yes. Both my parents are home. They'll check up on me at least once while we're here. Hope you won't be freaked out if you have to meet my parents."
Chloe stiffened and her eyes hardened,
"Worried the freak will freak out and embarass you in front of your parents, Jason?"
Jason closed his eyes realising his lousy choice of words. He opened one eye and looked at Chloe warily,
"Forgive me while I take my foot out of my mouth? Poor choice of words is all it was,Chloe I swear! Come on, don't you know by now I don't think of you that way?"
Chloe closed her eyes took a deep breath and opened her eyes again. She looked Jason in the eye and gave him a weak smile,
"I'm sorry, Jason. Old habits... you've been nothing but sweet to me all day. What you said before about calling me names and not really believing what you were saying ... I don't know why but I believe you. I guess I'm just still sensitive about it. I'll forgive you if you forgive me for um freaking out!"
They both laughed.
"It's cool, Chloe, shall we go in now? You are getting your surprise in like 10 minutes and I had hoped to give you a quick tour of the house first."
Chloe smiled and nearly agreed to carry on like it was all okay, but she halted him again,
"Jason, wait."
Jason looked at her expectantly,
"Sure. What's up?"
"This."
She hugged him. Keeping her arms around him, she leaned back and looked up at him,
"I just wanted to say thank-you."
Jason smiled down at her pleasantly surprised. He tightened his arms around her giving her a gentle squeeze,
"You're welcome! Now, can we go in?"
Chloe laughed,
"Yes of course!"
Jason opened the door and allowed Chloe to preceed him into the foyer.
"The tour will have to wait, Chloe." He put her cloak in the closet and led her down a hallway and down some carpeted stairs to what was obviously a rec room. He showed her to an overstuffed comfortable looking sofa in front of the television. The VCR clock read 8:56PM. Jason started to sit on the sofa with Chloe when suddenly he stood up and slapped his forehead,
"Crap! I forgot something! Stay right here, Chloe, I'll be right back!"
Jason raced from the room and she heard him pounding up the stairs obviously skipping some. A minute passed and she heard him on the stairs again. He re-entered the room flushed and out of breath, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at the VCR clock and saw it change from 8:59PM to 9:00PM. He scooped up the remote control from the coffee table with his free hand careful to keep his other hand from Chloe's view.
"What are you up to Jason?"
Jason smirked at her,
"You'll find out soon enough!"
The television screen lit up and an announcer's voice filled the room,
"We proudly present Luciano Pavarotti LIVE in concert!"
Chloe squealed in delight,
"Oh, Jason! No way! This is my surprise isn't it?!"
"You like?"
"Yes! You are the sweetest most thoughtful ... oh wow I can't believe you did this Jason!"
She turned to him and hugged him briefly, then turned back to the mega-sized tv screen. Her face was lit up with a huge smile. Jason stared at her mesmerised. He put down what he was holding and he got Chloe's attention. She turned back to him questioningly.
"Don't get mad at me but these have got to come off at least while we watch the show, ok?"
Chloe jumped back in alarm as he gently removed her glasses. She half-heartedly reached to grab them back. Jason peered through them and gave her a knowing look,
"Just as I thought. You don't need these, they are just one more piece of your disguise.
Doesn't matter. You can have them back after the show. I thought these were more appropriate anyway. Kinda corny or whatever but I thought it would add to the experience."
Chloe accepted what he handed her with a puzzled smile,
"These are what you raced upstairs to get? Oh, Jason, I never would have guessed you had this side to you! You're right of course! It definitely will add to the experience, especially cuz your tv screen is nearly theatre size! This is so great! This is just the best!"
"Well they're broken but ..."
Chloe interrupted him,
"Jason, please don't apologise, I really like this!"
She put her palm on his face and kissed him softly on the cheek. Jason couldn't stop his slow pleased grin and nervous chuckle. He stole a glance at her. She put the opera specs up to her face and stuck her tongue out at him. They both laughed. Jason casually put his arm around her shoulders as they settled in to watch the concert. Chloe moved in a little closer to him so she was leaning against his body. Jason reached across his lap and placed his hand over her free hand and she spread her fingers so they could lace them. Jason leaned slightly and pressed a gentle kiss against her temple. They sat that way in comfortable silence as they enjoyed the concert together.

Chapter 9
by Fidomom

Chloe had long since given up on using the opera specs because her arm got tired and she wasn't willing to stop holding Jason's hand so she could switch. When the concert ended however Jason reluctantly let go of her hand to pick up the remote and turn off the television. He turned to Chloe,
"So you enjoyed the concert?"
Chloe smiled and nodded her head vigorously. Her de-spectacled sapphire eyes sparkled at him making his breath catch,
"Yes, Jason it was wonderful!"
"Well, good because while we were watching that, it was taping and the tape is for you to keep."
Chloe gave him such a tender look he thought his heart might stop,
"Jason, you just keep surprising me how thoughtful and considerate you can be. You've spent much of the school year being mean to me and in a mere day you've managed to wipe the slate clean. I usually hold grudges but as I said before you make me break or want to break all my own rules. I am enjoying spending time with you, Jason. I feel so close to you, tonight. I feel safe with you and I don't usually trust so easily."
Jason looked uncomfortable,
"Don't say that Chloe. Don't say you feel safe with me. You are not safe. Not safe at all. The things I want ... oh, nevermind ... just don't let me persuade you to do anything you aren't ready for."
Chloe felt a shiver of fear and oddly curiosity,
"What do you mean by that Jason? Why shouldn't I feel safe with you? What things do you want? What would you try to persuade me to do?"
Jason closed his eyes and groaned,
"Chloe ... I .. oh, hell ... for the first time ever for me, I'm thinking way far ahead in terms of me and you. I want you to go out with me again and this date isn't even finished. I'm so afraid of messing up so royally that you'll never go on a date with me ever again. I'm afraid I'll ruin this date for you and you'll regret this night, regret saying yes to even going on a date with me at all."
She just had to go and touch his arm,
"Jason, no. You are wrong. I'll never regret tonight. You've made everything tonight so special and wonderful for me. Tonight will always be precious to me because it was tonight I finally admitted to myself that ... that.... I.. um ... I have a really big crush on you. Even before you started being nice to me. I have been so envious of the easy going relationships you have with Belle, Shawn and Mimi. That's why it hurt so much when you called me names. I wanted you to like me, I wanted to be friends with you like they are. Only now I realise I don't want to be just friends with you. I like the way you make me feel when you ... when we ... when we touch."
Jason reached for her and pulled her in close like he was going to kiss her. He stopped and rested his forehead in the crease of her neck and shoulder instead, his ragged hot breaths against her neck doing curious things to her own breathing.
"Chloe, do you have any idea at all the things I want to do to you, with you, for you? The most difficult part of being on this date with you tonight has been remaining a gentleman with you, when I want you so bad I can barely think straight."
Chloe smiled unseen and stroked his hair near his ear,
"I'm hoping that at least one of the things you want to do is kiss me properly."
Jason lifted his head abruptly to look into her eyes for confirmation that he had heard her right. He got it. He crushed her lips to his own, with a groan of released pent-up passion.

Chapter 11 (NC-17)
by Fidomom

Jason looked at Chloe incredulously, not believing or trusting his own ears.~This has to be another fantasy. She did not just say she wants to sit in my lap and make out with me. Oh, crap I'm gonna blow it if I take her up on her offer. I can't do this. I really like this girl. I can't treat her how I've treated other chicks. She deserves so much better. Damn she is so beautiful! Change the subject Jason! Get both your minds off of what you want to happen.~
Chloe's heart was constricting painfully in her chest as she saw him look at her like that.~Oh, damn, Chloe how could you be so stupid!? Now he thinks I'm easy. He doesn't want me I can see it in his face he's working up to letting me down gently. But I felt how turned on he was. Duh! All teenage boys get those it doesn't mean it was specifically because of you! Get ready here it comes the excuses why we can't. This probably was just a prank. As if Jason Masters would ever like me the Ghoul Girl of Salem High. No matter what he says Chloe keep your dignity don't let him see the hurt.~
Jason cleared his throat,
"Chloe? I think we should go play Scrabble ... unless you'd rather skip it and go straight to the club? I'd really like us to finish our date."
Jason wasn't sure what exactly it was he said but he felt the chill as her entire attitude towards him changed.
Chloe stood up and looked through him, her expression unreadable, her body stiff, controlled. She smiled tightly,
"Fine Jason, if you're so anxious to finish our date, why not just take me home now?"
Jason was panic stricken,
"Oh, Chloe, no that isn't what I meant! I meant I wanted to spend more time with you doing what I originally told you -playing Scrabble and going dancing! Damn, Chloe, I tried so hard not to offend you all evening and I thought it was working but obviously not. I'll take you home if you really want me to, but just know that I don't want our date to end. I don't even know what I did wrong but I'd take it back if it meant you'd go back to being happy and relaxed with me again."
Chloe's face remained impassive while she fought her emotions. She wanted to believe him, but it was much too risky. Chloe had never been a quitter though and she wasn't about to start now,
"Ok Jason. Let's go play that game of Scrabble."
Jason heard her words. They were the words he wanted to hear ... she was going to see their date through to the end. Why then did he feel sad like he'd lost something so precious? As Chloe passed him to head upstairs to the kitchen where he had told her they would be playing, she let the mask slip, the hurt show through never expecting what he did next.
Jason felt like she was slipping further and further away the closer she got to him. As she breezed cooly by him he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her hand suddenly and turned her to face him. He gasped when he saw raw pain in her eyes before her sheild was back in place. He panicked and reacted on instinct. He grabbed her and kissed her passionately. Chloe froze, thawed, then froze again and pushed him away. Suddenly Jason's cheek was stinging and burning. Chloe glared at him and whispered through clenched teeth,
"I don't appreciate being toyed with Masters!"
Finally Jason got it. He smiled in relief. Chloe saw his smile and was wounded by it believing he was making fun of her. She spun on her heel away from him in an effort to escape her own feelings. He reached for her waist halting her. He pulled her hard against his chest, wrapping his arms snugly about her waist. She struggled but he held on. He whispered near her ear while nuzzling and kissing her neck, tasting her earlobe,
"Chloe Lane you drive me crazy. You are so beautiful, so sweet, so soft. You smell so good. Kissing you is like a drug. I'll never get enough. I want to take off your dress and lay you down and touch you everywhere until you can't think straight. Then I want to touch you some more. I want to hear you gasp in pleasure when I caress your skin. I want to watch you writhe in ecstasy just from my touch. Oh, Chloe I want you so badly! Please don't shut me out, baby. I'm so sorry I hurt your feelings. Please let me kiss you some more..."
Chloe prided herself on being strong-willed. She was not that strong. She turned in his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, tangled her fingers in his short dark blonde hair, and opened her mouth to his hungry kiss. Jason backed up as he kissed her until the edge of the sofa was at the backs of his knees. Jason broke from their kiss without letting her go. He buried his face in her neck tasting, kissing, nibbling, sucking. Chloe let her head fall back to give his mouth better access to her neck. Her eyes were closed in ecstasy and small moans and sighs of encouragement were escaping her throat. She nearly orgasmed at Jason's next words.
"Can I yank down your panties, Chloe? Can I touch you down there? Please Chloe let me take your panties off?"
Chloe nodded her head yes, unable to speak. Jason began kissing her mouth again as he reached under her dress and hooked his thumbs in the leg elastics and tugged downward. Chloe helped him by squirming, and rolling her hips. Jason broke their kiss and followed her panties down her legs. He helped her step out of them. He put the panties behind him on the sofa. Staying on his knees he began lifting her dress until her patch of glistening curls came into view. He untangled a path along the opening of her lips with a gentle caress of his finger. Chloe gasped at the intimate touch, and spread her legs wider. Jason used his thumbs to open her lips and then he lightly licked her clit. He felt Chloe grip his hair. He tasted her a little more boldly, and was rewarded with her loud gasp of pleasure,
"Oh, Jason, oh that feels so good. Oh Jason yes right there oh please I'm gonna fall down Jason please let me lay down!"
Jason obliged, and lay her down on the sofa. He took a moment to take in the beauty of her laying before him bare-assed and legs open to his eyes, open to his mouth.Then he resumed his onslaught of pleasure on her maidenhead. Chloe let out a sob of passion as she came against Jason's mouth. Jason didn't quit. He continued lapping at her. He carefully and gently inserted his long index finger into her and found the back of her clit. He stroked it, while his tongue teased the front of it. Chloe saw stars as she came, letting out short shreiks of pleasure, saying Jason's name over and over again. Jason slowly eased back on his ministrations as Chloe became coherent again. He kissed her patch of curls, and gently tugged her dress down to cover her up again. He snuggled in beside her on the sofa. Chloe cuddled against Jason's chest enjoying the feeling of his arms around her and his excited, racing heartbeat against her ear. She pressed her full length against him and got some information she wanted. She squirmed out of his arms despite his protests. She straddled him and set to work undoing his pants. Jason was worried she felt obligated,
"Chloe you don't have to do this."
Chloe smiled at him seductively,
"I know I don't have to. Why, that would take all the fun out of it if I did wouldn't it? Besides I think turnabout is fair play."
She released him from the confines of his boxers. She locked eyes with Jason and stroked him. Jason's eyes rolled back in his head and a dreamy smile spread across his mouth. Jason could barely comprehend that this was happening.~Chloe Lane is touching me ... my fantasy lover is touching me for real. Maybe I died. Maybe this is heaven. Naaa. Too carnal. Well if this is a dream I will seriously injure anyone who wakes me up from this. Oh, fuck! I'm in her mouth! Oooohhhhhhhoooo yeeeeeeehhhheeeesss! So hot, so wet oh man I'm not gonna last!~
Jason was stroking her hair as she tasted him, sucked on him, licked him, drooled on him, sliding him in and almost out of her mouth repeatedly. Her long hair tickled and teased his groin, adding more pleasure to his mindlessness. He whispered encouragements to her,
"That's right Chloe baby, oh yeah honey oh yes I like the way you suck on me, you're so good to me! Harder sweet precious angel yeah like that oh Chloe oh baby feels so incredible. I never want this to end I'm gonna cum oh Chloe better move away I oh damn oh Chloe honey I'm so sorry I tried to warn you. Here I'll get you something to spit into."
Chloe wouldn't let him get up. She smiled impishly into his eyes and let him watch as she swallowed. She smiled and licked her lips.
"I heard it clears up acne."
He looked at her in amazement and they both laughed at the much perpetuated myth. Just then the lights flicked on and off 3 times.
"Oh, crap my parents are checking up on me!"
Jason and Chloe scrambled off the sofa and straightened their clothing but Chloe didn't have time to get her panties back on. She quickly shoved them into Jason's pants pocket. Jason's dad walked into the rec room and looked between them. He could smell the musky aroma of sex in the air but didn't let on,
"Everything ok down here kids?"
Jason smiled brightly, "Yeah, Dad everything is fine. Oh, hey, by the way, this is Chloe Lane."
Mr. Masters shook Chloe's hand gently but firmly. Mr. Masters was taken aback by the sheer beauty of the girl his son had just introduced him to. It did not mesh with everything he had previously heard about her and then to top it off she was supposedly a gifted singer and a borderline genius. His son could do worse for sure. He smiled at Chloe amicably,
"It's very nice to finally meet you, Miss Lane."
Chloe shot Jason an inquisitive look but smiled graciously and returned the nicety.
Jason shrugged grinning, glad he had already told her he had been interested in her for a long time otherwise his Dad's word choice could have been really embarassing.
Mr. Masters looked at his watch pointedly,
"Jason? Hadn't you two better get a move on? Isn't Miss Lane's curfew at 1? It's already 11:30."
Jason's heart sank there was no way they could play Scrabble and go dancing if she was going to make her curfew.
Chloe interrupted Jason's thoughts by addressing his Dad,
"Excuse me, Mr. Masters? Jason and I were supposed to go dancing and play a game of Scrabble together but we got to talking and time slipped away. I was wondering if Jason could come to my house at my curfew and he and I could play Scrabble there instead. My parents are both home and my Mom is a night owl she'll likely still be up. If it's ok with you then I'll ok it with her now. That way Jason and I can just go dancing until my curfew."
Mr. Masters smiled at her easy lie and quick thinking ~Talking? Yeah right!~.
Mr. Masters looked over at his son,
"You'll come home straight after your game?"
Jason bobbed his head up and down vigorously,
"Yes, sir!"
Mr. Masters smiled,
"Ok, it's fine with me, as long as Miss Lane's Mom is ok with it."
Chloe beamed a smile at Mr. Masters and reached in her purse for her cell phone, sneaking a quick wink at Jason.
"Hi, Mom. No no everythings fine. How's your headache? Oh good. I'm glad you're feeling better. Listen Mom, I have a favor to ask. No I'm not trying to extend my curfew exactly. I was just wondering if it'd be ok for Jason to come over at 1 with me and play Scrabble together and he'd go home straight after. His Dad is ok with it if you are. Sure I'll put him on. Mr. Masters? My mom wants to confirm with you that this is ok." Chloe handed her cell phone to Jason's Dad. Chloe went over to stand closer to Jason and he laced his fingers with hers as he leaned in and whispered,
"You are brilliant!"
Chloe responded flirtatiously,
"Yeah, well my motives are not pure. By 1 am you may be tired enough that I might actually have a shot at beating you in Scrabble!"
Jason glared at her appreciatively,
"You are so devious!"
Chloe smiled at him innocently,
"I know."
Jason's Dad interrupted their little tete a tete,
"Your Mom says to tell you to have fun and she'll see you when you get home. It's ok for Jason to play Scrabble at your place after you go dancing. You kids have a good time." He handed the cell phone back to Chloe and went upstairs. Jason pulled Chloe into his arms and kissed her mouth hard,
"You are the most amazing girl I've ever known!"
Chloe smiled into those captivating precious emerald eyes of his,
"You're not so bad yourself!"
Holding hands they left the rec room. In their absence it was as though they had never been there except for three minor details. The opera specs were sticking out of the sofa cushion, there were a pair of black rimmed galsses laying forgotten on the coffee table and the faint, unmistakeable, pungent aroma of sex hung in the air.
**************************************************************************************
As Jason drove he and Chloe to the club he noticed something lumpy in his pocket. He chuckled,
"Hey, Chloe, babe? Are you missing anything important?"
Chloe knew already,
"What's the point in wearing them. Before our date is over you'd just take them off of me again."
Jason smiled at that idea but was stunned silent by her next comment,
"Besides, Jason, you were right I don't need them to see anyway."
When Jason found his words again he said with a smirk,
"Oh, well I was talking about your panties not your glasses."
Chloe countered,
"Oh, those. Never occurred to me you meant those. Your question was am I missing anything important. I feel bare without my glasses ... I don't mind not wearing panties."
Jason sucked in a deep breath. Jason chuckled lightly,
"Damn girl you are just full of surprises tonight!"
Chloe knew he was referring to their earlier sexual encounter and couldn't help feeling a little self-conscious about it,
"Jason? What we did tonight ... do you think badly of me for it? I mean this is our first date and we went kind of far."
Jason shrugged,
"I don't regret anything you and I have done together. Besides we didn't really go that far. I mean our own ex-President doesn't even consider what we did to fall under the heading of sexual relations!"
Chloe shot him an amused look of gratitude, and leaned over to kiss his cheek,
"Thank-you, Jason. For everything tonight. You have been so sweet to me. I hope they play some slow songs at this club, you are taking me to. More than anything I just want your arms around me."
Jason looked over at her and smiled softly. He reached for her hand and squeezed it briefly before returning both hands to the steering wheel,
"I don't need slow songs as an excuse to hold you in my arms, Chloe. It's what I want to do more than anything, too."
They smiled at eachother and spent the rest of the ride in happy, relaxed, comfortable silence.

The moment Chloe took in the atmosphere of the dance club she felt the deepest sense of gratitude toward Jason.The club was filled with a mish mash of people from all walks of life. It was a music video dance club. She halted him a few feet into the entrance,
"Jason?"
Jason was immediately concerned. His happy expression became worried,
"What is it, Chloe? Why do you look ready to cry?"
Chloe smiled through the lump of emotion,
"You really were serious... about me fitting in here even if I had worn what you usually see me wearing at school. You actually cared how I would feel ... even before we got so close. Thank-you. I seem to be saying that to you a lot tonight."
By now Jason's features had softened into a look of tenderness. He smiled softly at Chloe,
"I told you, no matter what you chose to wear, it would be ok here, and with me. I only see beauty when I look at you. I will admit that I'm glad you are wearing the outfit that you do have on ... just a lil less work for my imagination!" He winked at her and pulled her in for a hug. She pressed into him and lifted her face for a kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and her fingers in his hair. Jason obliged her unspoken request and kissed her thoroughly. A new song started up,

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you outta my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you outta my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

Chloe jerked away from kissing Jason suddenly, and looked at him with her eyes radiating enthusiasm,
"I actually know this song! Belle plays it constantly! Let's go dance? Please?"
Jason was familiar with both the video and the song and liked them. He grinned,
"Let's go!"

The dance floor was jam packed and so Chloe and Jason had to dance nearly forehead to forehead. Jason watched Chloe's face as she sang along, watching the video over his shoulder. He had his hands low on her hips and was thrilled and surprised at her wild hip movements as she danced. He'd had no idea she could dance like this. He suspected there was a lot more he didn't know about her... yet. He was looking forward to getting to know her way better.

I just can't get you outta my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you outta my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

Every night every day
Just to be there in your arms

The music picked up speed and the singer in the video uncrossed her arms as she danced. Chloe's face turned pink when she saw the revealing outfit the singer wore and she wondered if Jason liked it.

Won't you stay
Won't you lay
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

Jason saw her blush and looked over his shoulder at the video.

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

He turned his head back to face Chloe and seemingly read her mind,
"She's got nothing over on you, Chloe! You are a million times sexier than Kylie Minogue! I'd pick you in your typical school clothes over her naked any day ... for one thing cuz I know I could always try to get you naked myself!"
Chloe looked taken aback yet amused,
"Well we know you could steal my underwear from me, anyway!" Jason grinned, and changed the subject,
"So how come you know all the words to this song?" Chloe smiled shyly,
"When I said Belle plays it constantly I forgot to mention it's at my request. This song always makes me think about you, Jason." Jason's face got serious as he absorbed her words and then a slow smile spread across his features like a rising sun. Jason had a new favorite song. They danced the rest of the song without talking. As Jason reflected on their entire conversation a nugget of an idea began to form.

I just can't get you outta my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you outta my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me locked in your heart
Set me free
Feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
I just can't get you outta my head

La la la

When the song was over, Jason led Chloe to an empty table. He pulled out her chair for her. He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned down to talk in her ear,
"What would you like to drink, Chloe?"
Chloe looked up into his face so close to hers. She smiled at the little thrill she felt being with Jason like this, him being so attentive and considerate,
"Just a bottled water, please."
Jason considered her request and nodded,
"Ok, Chloe. I'll be back in 5 minutes."
He kissed her quickly before leaving her side.
Chloe's eyes followed Jason and she saw him approach the vj and say something to him. Then she saw the vj nod and Jason and the vj gave eachother thumbs up.
~What are you up to I wonder, Jason?~
Jason headed back toward their table, made a pitstop at the refreshment counter, and returned to her side bearing 3 drinks: a bottled water, a red drink, and a white drink. Chloe looked at him questioningly,
"What are those?"
Jason smiled,
"Mixed drinks with no alcohol content. The red drink is a virgin Caesar, the white one is a virgin Chi Chi. I want you to taste them both and you can have the one you like best. I'll have the other one cuz I like them both."
Chloe looked skeptical but she tasted them both, and chose the virgin Caesar.
Jason held up his glass,
"Here's to getting to know eachother even better."
Chloe raised her glass and clicked it against Jason's,
"I definitely second that!"
They drank to their toast. Just then the vj made an announcement,
"Lip sync time!"
Jason got a wicked gleam in his eye. Grinning impishly, he pulled Chloe up and dragged her back to the crowded dance floor. Chloe managed to halt him long enough to ask,
"Jason? What are you up to?"
Jason grinned and kissed her lips quickly,
"You'll see!"
Laughing they made it to the dance floor just as the next song began. To Chloe's astonishment, Jason began mouthing all the words to her very suggestively. Chloe paid close attention. At the last line of the first verse, Chloe's eyes widened, her mouth opened in a small gasp, she turned pink and let out a giggle. She swiped playfully at Jason's arm, but she let Jason finish lip syncking the song to her. In a strange way even though she thought the notion behind the lyrics was absurd the words were kinda turning her on. Especially the way Jason was looking at her, and directing the song to her as if he meant every word...

I wanna be your t-shirt when it's wet -
I wanna be the shower when you sweat
I got to be the tattoo on your skin -
yeah lemme be your bed baby -
when you climb in yeah
I wanna be the sheets when you sleep -

I wanna be - your sunglasses - hey good lookin'
I wanna be - wanna be the one -yeah ya stick your hook in'
I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear...
Oh yeah I wanna be - your underwear!

When the song was over, Chloe still laughing good-naturedly moved into Jason's arms. She took his face in her hands and looked him in the eye,
"You are such a goofball!"
Jason grinned,
"But can I be YOUR goofball?"
"Oh, I insist!"
Chloe grabbed him in a lip lock and kissed him thoroughly. Jason was deliriously happy. When they came up for air, Jason smiled into her eyes,
"Let's go back to our table and finish our drinks."
Chloe's eyes lit with mischief as she slowly shook her head no,
"I don't think so, Jason. Let's get out of here now ok?"
Jason didn't need to be convinced. He knew exactly what she wanted to go do with him ... and he could hardly wait.

Jason had a small smile on his mouth as he drove and Chloe was intrigued by it,
"What are you smiling about, Jason? And have you decided where you are taking me yet?"
Jason glanced at her briefly and his smile got bigger,
"I'm smiling because I didn't know you had it in you to be naughty and I have to say that I like how you're being with me tonight!"
Chloe suddenly felt very self-conscious,
"Jason? I've never even thought of behaving this way with anyone except you. You know that right? I mean it's just that when I'm with you, the way you look at me the things you say to me you make me feel so alive and so bold. Naughty kind of implies bad. Is what I did a bad thing for a girl to do? I thought it would be ok because it happened earlier and you told me it made you happy. Now I'm wondering if I went too far; I'm wondering if I've pushed the envelope. Tell me the truth Jason. Do you have a bad opinion of me, because of what I did?"
Jason's heart sank. ~Am I destined to forever put my foot in my mouth around this girl?~ Jason pulled into a long unused gas bar. He drove around back and killed the engine. He turned the key to keep the radio playing. He undid his seatbelt and leaned toward Chloe. He slid his hand along the side of her neck, and into her hair. He pulled her towards him and kissed her deeply. He pulled away from her mouth and looked her directly in the eye,
"Chloe, I so do not have a bad opinion of you! You are the sweetest girl I've ever known. When I said naughty I did not mean bad I meant fun and well sexy. Chloe you make me feel alive too. You make me want to treat you right. I really do not want to mess things up between us. It seems like everytime I open my mouth I say something that upsets you. You asked me to bring you someplace dark and secluded and I have but now I'm wondering if maybe you'd rather not be here with me. If you don't want to make out with me, afterall, I'll understand. Whatever you want Chloe, just don't be mad at me for what I said, please?"
Chloe smiled slowly,
"You really find me sexy?"
Jason wasn't expecting that and it took him a moment to comprehend her question,
"Definitely!"
Chloe moved awkwardly into Jason's arms and onto his lap, hiking the skirt of her dress to her hips and straddling him. She kissed him full on the mouth. Jason's hands rested lightly on her bare hips as he returned her kiss. Chloe whispered against his mouth,
"Touch me, Jason. Please touch me? Make me do what I did before but only with your fingers this time?"
Jason groaned with desire as he reached between her legs and gently caressed her core,
"Like this, Chloe? Is this where you want me to touch you?"
Chloe gasped against his mouth and released a contented sigh,
"Yes! Oh, Jason, oh that feels so good! Please don't stop!"
Jason's caresses turned into bold strokes,
"Do you want my fingers inside you, Chloe?"
Chloe recaptured his mouth, moaning and nodding in answer to his question. Jason slid one finger into her easily,
"How many fingers do you want, Chloe? Just one?"
Chloe shook her head as she writhed her hips against his hand. Jason smiled at her as he slid in a second finger and she whimpered with pleasure,
"Two?"
Chloe's eyes fluttered in ecstasy but still she shook her head. Jason slid a third finger into her, stretching her gently,
"Three?"
Chloe's eyes snapped open and she exclaimed breathlessly,
"YES! Oh, Jason, oh Jason, Jason Jason Jason oh feels so good, oh please don't stop oh please please Jason oh I'm so oh Jason oh mmmmm ohhhhh oh oh oh Jason oh huh huh huh ...Jase ... Jase... JASONNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Oh Jason thankyou thankyou thankyou oh huh huh oh Jason oh yes oh sweet Jason oh ahhhhhhhh!"
Chloe collapsed with a sob of relief against Jason's shoulder. She rested there as her ragged breathing returned to normal. She realised they were running out of time and suddenly had an idea. She shared her thoughts with Jason and he grinned appreciatively,
"You are so devious!It's perfect!"
Jason set about planting evidence on himself as Chloe made the phonecall to her mom,
"Hey Mom. I wanted to let you know so you don't worry and so you know I'm not breaking curfew on purpose, but we have a flat tire. Jason thought he could change it quickly but the bolts are on really tight and he is having a heck of a time getting them undone. Hey Jason? About how much longer do you think?"
"Ow! Fuck! What? Oh right um at least twenty minutes! Dammit!" Jason stood there faking frustration and for good measure threw the tire iron onto the broken and cracked tarmac where it clattered loudly. Nancy of course heard this all and bought it hook, line, and sinker. Chloe clicked off her cell phone smiling,
"Jason you should be in the drama club! Bravo! You were so believable! You look so cute with that streak of grease on your forehead! If your performance just now didn't convince her then that will! Thanks to your stellar rendition of a guy changing a difficult tire we now have a few more minutes to be all alone out here. I know what I want to do with our time, but I'll take any requests into consideration!" Chloe winked at him. Jason grinned predatorially and advanced on her. He caught her around the waist and pulled her into a hard kiss,
"You are brilliant! I have no requests. I'm more interested in what you have in mind!"

Chloe looked at Jason knowingly,
"Oh, I think I know what you were hoping I had in mind, but first I want to talk to you. Can we sit on the hood of your car?"
Jason wrapped his arms around her tighter and nuzzled her neck,
"Sure, Chloe. Whatever you want. Talking is good, too."
Chloe smiled up at him and slid her fingers into his hair as she brought his head down to kiss him softly on the lips. He tried to deepen the kiss but she playfully pushed him away,
"Seriously, Jason, I really want to talk for a bit first."
Jason searched her eyes to see if he'd ruined things again and breathed a sigh of relief that she still seemed pleased to be in his company,
"Ok, come on."
Jason got comfortable on the hood of the car. He pulled Chloe onto his lap,
"The hood of my car is much too dirty and uncomfortable for your cute little butt!" Chloe giggled and settled herself on his lap leaning back against his chest with his arms hugging her middle. He rested his chin on her shoulder,
"So what's up? What did you want to talk about?"
Chloe laced her fingers with his,
"Does it seem surreal to you too how close we've become in such a short time?"
Jason smiled lightly,
"I don't know, Chloe. I mean to me it feels like it took forever for us to get this close. I've had the hots for you oh damn I mean I've been interested in dating you for a long time, I was just too chicken to say anything. For me this feels like it's been a long time coming uh no pun intended."
Chloe laughed softly at his foot in mouth tendencies,
"Jason, you don't have to be so guarded with me when you talk to me. Don't clean things up on my account, I can take a little sexual innuendo ... well from you I seem able to anyway. I am so not like this with anyone else Jason. This strong attraction between us is so new to me. I wasn't always ghoul girlish you know. Before my adoptive parents were killed and I became an orphan I dressed like any other girl my age. After they died black simply became my favorite color to wear. When puberty caused me to get attention that frightened me, I started dressing in layers to hide. So then the black layered clothing became my uniform of choice. It kept unwanted attention away. I didn't like being leered at. I didn't like boys being friendly with me and basically talking to my chest. I thought it would always keep me safe. I told you I've had a crush on you for awhile myself. I had no idea you were noticing me. I was too busy trying to figure out why I wanted your attention and wondering how to get it and still feel safe. I was floored by what you told me in study hall. I kind of lied to you. I wasn't nearly as offended by your comments about noticing my umm figure as what I acted like. To be honest Jason when you said you noticed me in spite of the layers it gave me a perverse thrill. When you asked me out I actually pinched myself to make sure I wasn't daydreaming. I like you Jason. A lot. I mean I really like you."
Chloe turned in his arms and repositioned herself so she was facing him straddling his lap. She clasped her hands behind his neck and looked unflinchingly into his eyes,
"I have no regrets about anything that has happened between us tonight. I never will."
Jason saw the honesty in her eyes and his own became moist,
"I crave you, Chloe. You are in my dreams nearly everynight and they are very sexual dreams make no mistake. I have been struggling all evening because I want you so bad and yet I respect you too much to treat you the way I treat other girls I've dated. Maybe it hasn't escaped your attention but I've never had a steady girlfriend, to be honest I've never wanted one. I've never made it through an entire first date without offending the girl I'm with. I just know how to suck up until she caves and I get what I want. No girl has ever agreed to a second date with me because well, I'm an asshole. Normally I like my reputation. It makes me popular with my guy friends and it intrigues other girls enough to want to date me thinking they can make me nice. They learn pretty quick that I don't do nice very well. I'm a pig. I like curves. I like touching curves. I like talking about curves. I like staring at curves. Your curves in particular, drive me wild. Somehow though, you've gotten under my skin and made me do things I never wanted to do never thought I would ever want to do."
Chloe gave him a puzzled look,
"Oh? Like what?"
Jason reached up and stroked her cheek tenderly,
"Care about the soul inside the curves. Want to learn to do nice better. Want to leave you with a good opinion of me. Want a second date. Regret my reputation. Want to be friends, too. I've never met anyone quite like you, and I'm over the moon crazy about you. Everything about you not just your curves. Chloe even the way you think is a turn on. You fascinate me. You are so brilliant and devious and creative and affectionate and funny and sweet and so damn sexy and beautiful and unpredictable and responsive. The more I get to know you the more I want to know. You even make me want to impress you. I'm seriously planning to kick your behind in Scrabble later, because it's something I'm actually good at that doesn't involve strenuous physical activity."
Chloe smiled,
"As far as I'm concerned, you do so do nice and extremely well! What you label as being a pig I choose to view as you being attentive and complimentary. I happen to have a very high opinion of you. I'm expecting us to go on lots of subsequent dates together after this one. I enjoy your company Jason. I like holding hands with you and kissing you. I like the way you look at me and talk to me. I like cuddling with you and watching opera with you. I like that you respect my wishes yet still give me opportunities to try new things. I like the way you touch me and hold me. I like your laugh. I like your emerald eyes. I like how special you make me feel. I like your honesty. I think it's adorable the way you suck up to me when you think I'm mad at you. Maybe I even overreact a little bit on purpose just so you will suck up to me!"
Jason grinned,
"See? Devious! Mmmmm! You turn me on dreamgirl!"
Jason ran his hands up and down the curves of her body as he kissed and nibbled her neck. Chloe giggled contentedly, thoroughly enjoying Jason's attention,
"Would you like to see all of me, Jason?"
Jason searched her face to see if she was merely teasing him. Her eyes were twinkling in the starlight and she was smiling but he didn't detect any deception. He nodded mutely. She moved off of his lap, then off of the car hood. She waited for Jason to join her,
"Ok, I want you to go sit in the car. Turn up the radio so I can hear the music, I'm feeling very daring particularly after the talk we just had! Put your highbeams on I've always wanted to be in the spotlight!"
Jason looked at her suspiciously,
"Just what are you planning, Chloe?"
Chloe grinned provocatively at him,
"Wouldn't you like me to dance for you ... in my birthday suit?"
Jason's jaw dropped open in a gasp of desire as his imagination gave him a visual.
"Hot damn, yes! Oh, Chloe, you naughty, wild girl! Dance naked for me baby!"

Chloe laughed nervously at his response and she danced out of his reach to stand directly in front of the car but far enough back that Jason could see her from head to knees, when he sat in the drivers seat. He obliged her requests, turning the radio up and the high beams on. Initially Chloe squinted from the sudden glare in the darkness. The radio station was on a commercial break and Chloe reached for the zipper of her dress only to discover she couldn't quite do it. She hurried to the driver's side of the car,
"Jason, help please before the next song starts! I can't undo my zipper!" She turned her back to him as he jumped out of the car to assist her with it. As he pulled her zipper down he spoke into her ear loud enough to be heard above the blaring announcer,
"Chloe, you make my heart pound! I can hardly believe what you're about to do!"
Chloe turned to him with a smile. She embraced him and kissed him quickly as she admitted breathlessly,
"Me either!" She yelped in alarm as the announcer introduced the next song,
"Next up we've got Mitsou giving you her Deep Kiss!"
Chloe raced back to where she had stood previously and Jason settled himself into the drivers seat again. Chloe couldn't see Jason but she felt his eyes on her. She smiled for him and started to sway to the music,

1 2 3 4
Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da
Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da
1 2 3 4

I've been cautious, very cautious
I've been unconscious to love
Been suspicious of men's wishes
And when they push me I just shove

She slowly hiked her dress up her thighs ...

Oh, ah, oh
But when you come around oh, ah, oh I go gentle
Oh ah oh
I never felt like this
Oh ah oh
I never I never felt like this

Jason groaned with desire as her groin was exposed to his view ...

Baby, your deep kiss touches every part of me
Touches every part
I go crazy, boy (Every part)
Your deep kiss goes to the very heart of me
To the very heart

Chloe nervously exposed her belly ...

Is it safe to let you (Very heart) near my dreams?

She lifted her dress over head and tossed it on the ground ...

Da da da da da da da da da
1 2 3 4
I've been angry, very angry
I've been so angry at love
I've resisted every tryst
Yeah, I've just about had enough

Jason watched as she unclasped and removed her black lace bra. His eyes glazed with lust as the highbeams spotlit her bared breasts ...

Oh ah oh
But when you come around oh, ah, oh I go gentle
Oh ah oh
I never felt like this
Oh ah oh
I never I never felt like this

Chloe was amazed at how free she felt. She wasn't nervous anymore. She danced letting the music fill her senses and move her body.

Baby, your deep kiss touches every part of me
Touches every part
I go crazy, boy (Every part)
Your deep kiss goes to the very heart of me
To the very heart

Jason watched fascinated as Chloe danced for him, completely mesmerised by her beautiful, curvy, nude body.

Is it safe to let you (Very heart) near my dreams?

Da da da da da da da da da
1 2 3 4
Da da da da da da da da da
1 2 3 4
Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da
1 2 3 4

Oh ah oh
But when you come around oh, ah, oh I go gentle
Oh ah oh
I never felt like this
Oh ah oh
I never I never felt like this

Jason's erection was becoming painful as he watched her dance. Her hair was flying with every shake of her head. Her hips moved just as wildly as they had on the dance floor earlier. He remembered vividly how it had felt to have his hands on her hips when she moved like that. Her arms were swinging and her breasts were bouncing and Jason could hardly stand to watch anymore without touching.

Baby, your deep kiss touches every part of me
Touches every part
I go crazy, boy (Every part)
Your deep kiss goes to the very heart of me
To the very heart
1 2 3 4
Baby, your deep kiss touches every part of me
Touches every part
I go crazy, boy (Touches every part)
Your deep kiss goes to the very heart of me
To the very heart

Baby, your deep kiss touches every part of me
Touches every part
I go crazy, boy (Touches every part)
Your deep kiss goes to the very heart of me
To the very heart

As soon as the song ended Jason snapped off the radio startling, Chloe out of her trance-like dancing. He strode over to her quickly and purposefully,
"How's this for a deep kiss?"
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. Chloe kissed him back just as deeply, allowing herself to melt into him. She wrapped her arms behind his neck and pressed herself against him. She broke their connection and gasped,
"Touch me Jason! Touch me everywhere this time!"
Jason attacked her neck with his hot kisses. His hands voraciously stroked and fondled her full breasts as his mouth worked it's way down from her neck to her aroused nipples. He kissed them feverishly, licking and sucking on them in between kisses. Chloe's eyes were closed in ecstasy as she gripped Jason's head holding him close to her heart as he lavished attention on her breasts. She shivered whenever the night air met the moistness Jason was leaving on her skin with every kiss, every lick, every suckle. Through the haze of his passionate pursuit Jason realised Chloe was likely getting cold now that she wasn't dancing and generating extra heat. He tore himself away from her breasts reluctantly and held her close trying to catch his breath. Chloe let out a whimper of protest,
"Why'd you stop, Jason?"
Jason chuckled wryly,
"Trust me Chloe not because I wanted to but because you are shivering with cold and our time is nearly up. I think we've only got 5 minutes left before I'm supposed to have finished changing that difficult tire, remember?"
Chloe snuggled into his hug trying to steal his warmth,
"I know you're right. I am a little chilly too I guess, but it felt so good having you touch and kiss my body."
Jason briskly rubbed his hands up and down her arms and back trying to warm her up,
"Come on my dreamgirl time for you to get dressed again before you catch cold!"
He helped her get her dress back on and pulled the zipper back up for her. Then he fished her underwear out of his pocket again and handed them to her. Chloe looked at them and smiled shaking her head refusing them,
"No, Jason, you keep them!"
Jason frowned at her in bewilderment,
"Keep them? What do you mean?"
Chloe shrugged suddenly embarassed at her own suggestion,
"I don't know, I just thought you might like to as a date memento or something. It was stupid. Nevermind. I'll put them back on afterall." She stretched her hand out to take them but he played keep away,
"Not so fast! The idea of keeping them as a memento is growing on me. So can I still keep them?"
Chloe let her hand drop and smiled shyly,
"Yes, Jason."
Jason grinned,
"Cool! Thanks Chloe. Now we'd better get a move on or your mother will never let me date you ever again!"
Chloe halted him,
"If she ever tried to keep me away from you I'd just sneak out to be with you anyway."
Jason blinked in surprise,
"Really? You'd do that?"
Chloe nodded her head and kissed him gently. She stepped back and looked into his eyes,
"This has been a really amazing night for me, Jason. I've liked our date so far and if you're not too tired I'm hoping we still play Scrabble together when we get to my house."
Jason looked at her in amazement,
"I'm not too tired at all. I'm surprised that you still want to play Scrabble with me. I'd really like for us to do that."
They hugged eachother and then got into the car. Jason turned the radio back on and turned it down. A late breaking local newsstory caught their attention,
"A serious accident involving three vehicles and a transport truck has halted traffic in both directions on the north south connector..."
Jason and Chloe looked at eachother,
"That's the only way to my place, Jason. I sure hope nobody we know is involved. Guess I better phone my mom." Just then Chloe's cell phone rang. She answered it promptly,
"Hello, Mom. Don't worry we weren't involved in the accident we just happen to be stuck on the wrong side of it. I guess this will keep Dad working overtime at the hospital tonight. Are you ok? Ok, good. Yes, Mom, I promise! The moment traffic is allowed to proceed Jason will bring me home. Ok I love you too. See you when I get home. Yes I'll call if there are any other problems. Ok bye Mom."
Chloe clicked off her cell phone and put it away. She looked at Jason and smiled mischieviously,
"Looks like we get to be alone a little while longer, what should we do?"
Jason winked at her,
"Actually I'm going to at least get into the queue so that we know immediately when the road is cleared. Once we are there though I'll just turn off the engine and sit in the dark with you doing whatever you'd like to do!"
Chloe's eyes gleamed with ideas,
"Sounds good to me. Before we get going though, I want one more kiss, please?"
Thrilled by her request Jason didn't need to be asked again. He slid his hands into her hair and kissed her thoroughly. He pulled away with his hands still buried in her hair and he looked into her eyes with tenderness,
"I'm crazy about you dreamgirl."
Chloe's sapphire eyes shone with happiness,
"I'm crazy about you too Jason."
Jason got a silly grin on his face hearing her say that, and he pulled out of their little hideaway wondering just what Chloe wanted to do in the dark when they reached the queue. Whatever it was he was certain he'd like it - she sure hadn't disappointed him so far.

Chapter 18 (NC-17)

by Fidomom

As soon as Jason was in the queue waiting for the road to clear, he turned off the motor but left the radio on. He turned to face Chloe,
"So now what dreamgirl?"
Chloe laughed,
"What do you think?"
Jason grinned,
"You're here. I can't think."
Chloe giggled,
"That may work in my favor during our Scrabble game later!"
Jason glared at her in mock anger,
"Don't count on it Lane! I am seriously planning to beat the um hahaha panties off of you oh oops guess that would be redundant!"
Chloe burst out laughing and hit him playfully in the shoulder,
"Keep that up Masters and I'll ask for them back!"
Jason pouted,
"I was just funnin'."
Chloe smiled fondly at him and undid her seatbelt. She made her way over to his side of the vehicle. She touched his pouting bottom lip with her thumb rubbing lightly,
"Now that is adorable and very kissable!"
She sucked on his pouty lip enjoying his gasp of pleasure. His hands spanned her waist as he returned her action to her. Chloe's breath caught and her heart began to race with desire. She wasn't content to kiss only his mouth. Her mouth travelled over his face, his lips, along his jaw and all over the column of his throat. Kissing, tasting and nipping. She insisted he take off his shirt and he obliged. Her mouth continued exploring him. Jason was beyond excited, beyond aroused he was quite simply on cloud nine. The ends of her hair kept lightly brushing against the exposed skin of his torso tickling him and majorly turning him on. His erection was becoming painful again but he didn't care. He just never wanted her attention to stop. She was kissing his chest. Jason's eyes were closed in rapture and they snapped open when he felt her tongue lick his nipple. He looked down at the top of her head as she continued kissing down his body. He felt hope rising in his chest as her kisses got closer and closer to his groin. He felt her fingers at his jeans button and his hard cock leapt excitedly. He hurriedly took over undoing his pants. Jason's breath was coming in short gasps as he felt her hands touching him, stroking him with her fingers. Then he felt her lick him lightly, he felt her hot breath on him. He groaned,
"Oh hot damn dreamgirl! Are you really gonna do it again? Are you really gonna give me another blow job?"
Chloe was very involved with what she was doing and merely answered absentmindedly,
"Mmmmhmmmm."
Jason was having trouble breathing regularly as she continued playing with his hard on. He had to know for sure. He had to let her know,
"Oh, fuck, oh dreamgirl baby you don't have to do this again! I like what you're doing don't get me wrong but I don't want you to feel obligated to continue."
Chloe was stroking his inner thighs, rubbing her face lightly against his erect cock, exploring it's shape and size as she hadn't done before, licking and kissing the sides of it between whispers,
"I know Jason. I know I don't have to. I want to and I need to. I feel a blemish threatening to erupt so I definitely need more acne medicine.", with those words, she took him completely into her mouth and felt encouraged by his moan of ecstasy. She was still in a dreamy exploring sort of mood. His skin was so smooth, so hard, it was like silk wrapped steel pipe. She tasted his pre-cum and got excited. She sucked faster and just a bit harder. Chloe was power-tripping. Jason was mindless with pleasure and she had made it so. She eased up teasing some more then sucking just the way he was teaching her he liked it. Jason could only feel, could only marvel at the sensations she was sending through his body with her hot, wet mouth. He both wanted to come and yet he didn't want to. He didn't want the delicious feelings to stop but he ached for release. He began to fidget and squirm against her mouth. Chloe eased back letting him slide slowly out of her mouth so she could ask,
"What do you want Jason?"
He opened his tortured eyes and looked into her benevolent ones,
"Make me come dreamgirl!"
Chloe smiled,
"Ok."
She took him back into her mouth and did all the things with her lips and tongue that she had learned he liked. She sucked and licked and drooled and bobbed her head over and over again and she made Jason Masters come. She swallowed every precious drop of her acne medicine ... gladly.

Chloe finished touching up her make-up. She smoothed her hair and stepped out of the car onto her driveway. She straightened her clothing and turned to Jason,
"How do I look?"
Jason grinned,
"Well personally I prefer your birthday suit but otherwise you look like you always do, very beautiful and very well um put together!"
Chloe's eyes twinkled merrily,
"Let's just hope Nancy thinks I look the same as ever."
Jason paled and gulped,
"Oh right. Your mom. Will she really still let us play Scrabble? I mean it's already twenty to three in the morning. You're more than an hour and a half late for your curfew. Oh God! Is she ever gonna let me take you out again?"
Chloe smiled reassuringly and squeezed Jason's hand,
"Don't be such a worry wart. Anyway I already told you if she tries to keep me from seeing you I'll just sneak out to spend time with you. Let's go in and play that game of Scrabble you're so sure you're gonna win!"
Jason gave her a look of condescending sympathy,
"I will win. Let's do it! Oh, damn! I meant let's go play the game."
Chloe just laughed shaking her head at him and they went inside. Chloe led Jason directly to the livingroom to meet Nancy. Mrs. Wesley was doing a crossword puzzle. She finished entering a word smiling smugly and then abruptly put the puzzle book away. She looked up smiling expectantly,
"So Chloe, how was your evening? Did you have a nice time? Oh my, I mean other than the flat tire and accident business! This must be Jason. Jason dear you seem to have a smudge of grease on your face. The bathroom is at the top of the stairs first door on the left."
Jason looked positively frightened as he looked to Chloe. Chloe smirked at him as she answered her mother's questions,
"We did have a nice time Mom other than the delays getting home~The delays were the best part!~. Yes, this is Jason Masters. We still want to play Scrabble so I will show him to the washroom to deal with the smudge on his face. I guess in the dark it wasn't discernible or I would have helped him wipe it off before we came in. I'm gonna get ready for bed so that as soon as our game is over I can say goodnight to Jason and turn in."
Nancy had already picked up her puzzle book again. She was nodding and smiling distractedly,
"That sounds fine sweetheart. Good luck with the game! A-ha! Rigor Mortis! I knew being married to a Dr. would come in handy someday!"
Jason and Chloe left the room smiling and ascended the stairs. Chloe showed him where the washroom was and tried to proceed to her room but Jason caught her hand, halting her. She looked at him expectantly,
"What?"
He cozied up to her sliding one hand around her waist while his other hand stroked her arm up and down. He nuzzled her neck and whispered,
"So where's your room?"
Chloe leaned in to him and whispered back,
"Last door on the right."
He looked into her eyes smiling as his hands moved to her hips and pulled her closer. He slid them slowly over her ass enjoying the absence of a pantyline. He kissed her once briefly, teasingly, then pulled back to gauge her reaction. She slid her arms around the back of his neck and kissed him properly. She pulled away abruptly,
"I promise we'll do that some more later Jason but right now you need to clean your face and I need to get ready for bed."
Jason was briefly disappointed but then suddenly brightened,
"So like do I get to kiss you like that when you are in your pajamas? Do you wear sexy ones?"
Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief at his brazen questions but she laughed anyway.
"Yes to the first question and to the second question ... hmmm ... for you I just might start! Tonight though ... no, I won't be wearing sexy ones. Sorry, Jason!"
Jason shrugged,
"It doesn't matter anyway. I told you already you're sexy to me no matter what you wear. I have a very graphic imagination."
Chloe felt herself blush and blushed harder knowing how silly it seemed considering he had already seen her naked. Jason saw her blush and was surprised but strangely pleased. He hugged her briefly and kissed her cheek,
"Ok well, let's get a move on, then! Be prepared to lose very badly! I really like you Dreamgirl but I don't throw games ever ... not even for beautiful sexy girls who dance nak ..."
Chloe reached out and put a hand over his mouth,
"Jason! Sssh! Don't say it out loud! My God if my Mom heard you ... that's just our little shared memory? Just between you and me, ok?"
Jason smiled against her palm and kissed it, before gently removing it from his mouth,
"Ok, Dreamgirl, just between me and you."
Chloe smiled in relief,
"Thank-you. See you downstairs in ten?"
Jason winked, smiled, nodded and entered the washroom closing the door behind himself.

Chapter Twenty
by Fidomom

Chloe was about to slip her nightgown on over her head when there was a light tap on the door.
"Who's there?"
"It's me, Jason. Are you almost ready to come play Scrabble?"
Chloe smiled,
"Almost. Come in, Jason."
The door opened a crack and she saw beautiful green eyes taking in her state of undress. She walked over and yanked him into the room laughing lightly.
He met her eyes,
"Thought you said you were almost ready ... you look ready for something but not Scrabble!"
She winked at him,
"Nothing you haven't already seen. Besides I am almost ready, see?"
She pulled a long, loose, flowing, pale purple, cotton nightgown over her head. When she poked her head out through the neck her eyes immediately met Jason's. He smiled softly as he looked her up and down,
"Damn, dreamgirl."
She seemed surprised at his comment.
"What? You like my nightgown?"
He nodded silently.
"I just want to look out your windows and then we need to get out of your bedroom or I'm liable to get fresh with you."
Chloe was bemused,
"Why do you want to look out my windows?"
He looked at her in all seriousness,
"So I never go to the wrong window when I'm out there some night needing to see you or talk to you."
She broke out into a huge smile,
"Oh. I see. By all means, go take a look."
He walked over to her window and looked out lingering as he took in the backyard features. Chloe came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind him. She stood on tiptoe to peer over his shoulder. He drew in a deep breath as he felt her press into his back.
"Nice yard. We should um get downstairs and play Scrabble now probably."
Chloe kissed the back of his ear,
"In a minute. Turn around and kiss me Jason."
He turned and leaned his behind against her windowsill. He spread his legs slightly and pulled her in close for a half dozen small, soft, gentle, quick kisses. He slid his hands down her backside, resting them there, the thin cotton nightgown in no way preventing him from enjoying her continued pantyless state.
"We better go downstairs because I don't want your mom to hate me my first time visiting you here."
Chloe nodded with a smile and backed away. She grabbed her houserobe from the back of the door, put it on and tied the sash. Jason stayed put just watching her. She opened the door and beckoned over her shoulder,
"Come on Jason, let's go play Scrabble."
He smiled as he pushed himself away from the windowsill and followed her downstairs and into the living room. Nancy was just tidying up after herself before going to bed.
"Well, it was very nice to meet you Jason. You're a very handsome boy when your face is clean. Chloe, sweetheart, I'm going to bed but I'll be awake reading for a while yet. I'll be down to check on how it's going before I go to sleep. Have fun kids!"
As soon as Nancy disappeared at the top of the stairs, Chloe and Jason set up the play area with the game and scorepad.
"Hey, before we get started I'm gonna get a drink and a snack. Could I get you something, as well?"
Jason grinned,
"Yeah. Whatever you're having is fine with me."
"Okay. I'll be back shortly. You can watch some tv while you wait if you like or maybe put some music on."
He nodded his acknowledgement.
When Chloe left the room, Jason turned on the stereo and tuned in a soft hits station. He turned off the stereo and turned the tv on. He watched MTV for company until Chloe came back. Chloe returned with a tray of crackers, cheese and sliced fruit along with two large glasses of milk. Jason turned off the tv and turned the radio back on. He made room on the coffee table for her to put the tray down.
"Wow, Chloe this looks great! I'm hungrier than I even realised!"
"I could make you a sandwich if you like?"
"No this should be fine, but thanks! Never would have pegged you as the domestic sort."
She blushed but didn't say anything. She joined Jason at the table. Jason shook the bag of letter tiles vigorously and held it out to Chloe.
"Pick a tile. Closest letter to A gets first word. A blank tile beats an A."
Chloe put her hand in the bag and pulled out a B. Jason pulled out a J. He smiled as he took note of the letters they had happened to pick. Chloe didn't catch it.
"Okay so I get to place the first word?"
He nodded.
"You need to have 7 tiles on your rack at the start of each turn. You did say you haven't played in a while right?"
"Yeah. Thanks for the little reminders, it helps."
Chloe looked at the 7 tiles she'd pulled. She had V, Q, E, E, A, U, and A. She placed the word AQUA reading down with the Q landing on the starred pink square signifying a double word score. She tallied her score at 26 points. Jason was duly impressed.
"Nice point start!"
Chloe replaced the four letters she'd used with a G, A, A, and S.
Jason contemplated the tiles on his own rack. He had W, N, H, S, O, A, and a blank tile. He placed the S beside the final A in AQUA and then under the S he placed HOW reading down. Chloe tallied his score at 16, and couldn't resist gloating a little.
"Thought you said you were going to beat me. Just when would that start to happen?"
Jason grinned at her,
"Oh believe me dreamgirl this game is just starting! I will win."
Chloe nodded,
"Uh-huh. Okay, sure!"
Jason smirked,
"Your turn beautiful."
She rolled her eyes with a smile and placed EAVE beside the W in SHOW, bringing her score to 48.
Jason immediately placed the word NAVEL reading down, using the V in WEAVE. He was still lagging 10 points behind Chloe but she kept quiet about it this time. Using the N in NAVEL she placed the word GNASH across, earning her 18 more points for a total score of 66. Jason sighed as he placed ORN under the H in GNASH. His score rose a measly 8 points. He was starting to wonder if he would make good on his assertion that he was going to win this game. The moment Chloe placed her word Jason knew there was a God and that God was on his side. He decided to play a little prank on her first before he blew her out of the water. Jason placed his blank tile in front of the word LIT which Chloe had just placed using the L in NAVEL. Her score was at 69. She looked at what Jason had just placed in confusion.
"What letter does that blank tile represent Jason?"
Jason chuckled,
"It's a C!"
It took her a moment but when she understood that he had just placed the word CLIT on their game board she panicked blushing as she reprimanded him,
"JASON! You can't have that word on our board! What if my mom comes down here and asks what the blank tile is?!"
Jason chortled merrily,
"Relax, dreamgirl I was just joking with you! Can't use it anyway because it's a short form of a longer word! I just wanted to see your reaction! Sorry beautiful but that was really funny!"
Chloe tried to glare at him as she handed him back his blank tile but she let a small giggle slip,
"Oh my God Jason if my Mom had seen that she would have had a whole herd of cattle I swear!"
They giggled over that image for a few moments. Finally Jason announced,
"Well, dreamgirl the game is almost over. The points I'm about to make will make it impossible for you to ever catch up. I told you I was going to win. Even you will have to concede that my next play finishes the game."
She crossed her arms looking at him with skepticism,
"Well? Quit talking about it and lets see what you've got!"
Jason suddenly looked worried.
"Can I have a kiss first in case you're too mad after this to ever kiss me again?"
She laughed shaking her head and gave him a long, slow, sensual kiss.
"I'm not that much of a poor sport, you know, Jason, but there- I kissed you so let's see your power play already!"
He nodded and placed a Y at the end of the word HORN, landing on a triple word score. Chloe protested,
"Jason there is no such word as LITY!"
He nodded,
"I know. I wasn't finished yet."
He placed S, E, N, ?, U and A in front of the word LIT to complete the word SENSUALITY. His N landed on another triple word score. He used all 7 of his tiles in one turn for an automatic 50 points. SENSUALITY was worth 12 points but triple word scored twice for the N and the Y, it ended up being worth 72 points. HORNY was worth 11 points but triple word scored using the same Y as SENSUALITY it jumped to a point value of 33. Jason had made a total of 155 points in one turn for a new total of 207 points to Chloe's 69 points. Chloe closed her eyes in amused, exasperated defeat.
"Oh my God, Jason! I see what you mean. Yeah, I'm definitely white flagging you! You won. Game over."
Jason looked at her worriedly,
"You aren't mad?"
She smiled wryly and shook her head,
"No Jason I'm not mad I'm too busy being impressed! That was an awesome play!"
He smiled hopefully.
"So would I be pushing my luck to ask for another kiss?"
In answer she crooked her finger at him. He leaned forward eagerly and they kissed slowly, lingeringly, tugging on each other's lips. They broke apart abruptly when they heard Nancy come downstairs. Chloe hurriedly messed the tiles on the board so Nancy wouldn't see Jason's power play words HORNY SENSUALITY. They put the tiles in the bag and folded up the board. Nancy peeked in and asked in surprise,
"Oh, are you kids finished your game already?"
Chloe looked at Jason and grinned before answering,
"Yeah, Mom. He beat the pants off of me!"
Jason nearly choked and turned three shades of red. Nancy wasn't privvy to the inside joke and so didn't notice Jason's discomfort.
"Okay well then I guess Jason needs to go home now as was agreed upon by his father and I. Congratulations on your win dear! Maybe we'll have you over for dinner sometime."
Chloe looked at him to gauge his reaction to her mom's forward suggestion. He smiled.
"Yeah maybe. Thank-you for your hospitality Mrs. Wesley and for being so understanding about our delays in getting Chloe back by her curfew. I'll be sure to double check my tires next time Chloe and I go out."
Nancy giggled completely charmed by the young man,
"Yes well that might be a good idea! It was so nice to meet you Jason, goodnight and safe home! Chloe, I'm going up to bed now. I'll see you later this morning sweetheart!"
Nancy and Chloe gave each other a quick hug and kiss goodnight.
"G'night Mom. Sweet dreams."
"You too sweetie!"
Nancy disappeared up the stairs and Chloe walked Jason to the door. They embraced and Jason held his dreamgirl for several moments.
"This was the best night of my life so far. I know I have to go but I sure don't want to. I wish I could just hold you like this all night."
Chloe leaned back and held his face smiling into his eyes,
"I had a really great time with you tonight. I hope we really will go out again sometime and soon. I don't want our date to end either. I would love for you to hold me indefinitely, but hey if I'm your dreamgirl then you can just go home and dream that you're holding me, right?"
Jason nodded and grinned,
"Yeah. Among other things ... especially now that I have some personal experiences to fuel my dreams!"
He slid his hand along her cheek and into her hair as he dipped his head to kiss her mouth. He kissed her thoroughly wanting to give them both a lingering final impression of this night. She pressed in close to him, clinging to his broad, muscular shoulders. Her lips were tingling and swollen when their kiss ended. Jason had difficulty regaining his composure. He managed to whisper raggedly,
"Goodnight, my beautiful dreamgirl, I'll see you in my dreams tonight and we'll see each other at school on Monday. I hope you have a good weekend. For once I'm actually looking forward to going to school on Monday because I'll get to see you in person again. I better get going or I'll never be able to leave you. Bye Chloe."
She caressed his face briefly.
"Goodnight Jason. Thank-you for everything. I'll see you at school on Monday. I hope you have a good weekend, too. Bye. Drive safe okay?"
He nodded, gave her one more quick kiss on the lips, winked, and smiled. Then he opened the front door, got into his car, waved, blew her a kiss and he drove away.
Chloe stood in the open doorway for a few more moments with a dreamy expression on her face before closing and locking the door. She tidied up the remnants of hers and Jason's snack, finished putting away the Scrabble game, turned off the radio and the lights, then ascended the stairs to her room. The smell of his cologne lingered on her and in her room. She smiled hugging herself briefly. She took off her robe, hung it up and climbed under her bedcovers. She began to dream almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
"Mmmm, Jason ...." she sighed, smiling in her sleep.

The halls of Salem High were crowded Monday morning, just before first bell and Jason was standing around talking to Hawk, Philip, and Tim. He was pre-occupied with thoughts of Chloe. He'd been keeping an eye out for her since he'd arrived 15 minutes ago. All week-end long he couldn't wait for Monday to come so he could see her again. His friends noticed he was distracted.
"So Jase how was your date with Vampira? Hey, Phil and Tim hold him steady so I can look for puncture wounds!"
Jason's attention was quickly grabbed as he finally caught what had just been said. He looked around at his friends glaring,
"What did I tell you losers about that? Her name is Chloe. I dare you to try to look for puncture wounds, Hawk- try it and I'll give you free cosmetic surgery understood?"
Hawk held up his hands in surrender,
"Whoa Jase chill would you?! It's us man! Since when do you threaten your friends over some freaky chick?"
Jason gave the halls the once over again still looking for a glimpse of Chloe. He was distracted from whatever else his friends were saying.
Chloe rounded the corner behind Jason, in time to hear Philip say to him,
"I mean we know you Jase! It's obvious the only reason you're even being nice to her is because you're hoping the freak will get kinky with you or something! Maybe she already did! Did she Jase? Did she get kinky with you? Did she let you hit a home run? I'll bet she did! You dog man she did! Was she any good?"
Jason was so flustered by Philip's razzing he couldn't keep up with the questions, he just got redder by the second and shuffled from one foot to the other grinning uncomfortably. His friends took his silence and his grin as an admission. So did Chloe. Her face turned red then blanched. She was mortified that Jason was not denying it. Tim looked up and saw Chloe. He got Jason's attention,
"Uh-oh dude. I think you've just been busted. I think she heard you bragging."
Jason felt his heart drop into his stomach as he turned around and saw the look on her face. She just shook her head and turned from him to hurry off down the hall. He wanted to go after her but he had to set things right with his friends first.
"Listen up and get this! What Chloe did or did not do with me is nobody's business but hers and mine! I like her- A LOT! I hope you losers haven't killed any chance I had of getting her to go out with me again. FYI if by some miracle she even talks to me ever again, all three of you are going to apologise to her for what just happened and don't even think of not doing it! You will do it! Don't forget I know who each of you actually do brag about!"
Philip sputtered,
"That's blackmail man! You'd rat us out over her?"
Jason gave him a cold look,
"In a heartbeat."
Jason turned away from his friends and went to look for Chloe. He caught up with her at her locker.
"Chloe, please! I know what you think just happened but I swear to you I didn't tell them anything! Philip was asking me so many questions and I wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying because I was too busy looki ..."
Chloe fixed her icy glare on him as she interrupted,
"I didn't exactly hear you denying what he was saying, though either did I, Jason? Just leave me alone. I don't want to see you or talk to you. I want nothing to do with you. Get lost Jason." She slammed her locker closed and stalked away. He started to follow her to try to apologise properly but the bell rang signalling he was now late for class. He felt sick inside at the thought she would never believe he really liked her as he made his way to the office for a late slip. All he had wanted to do when he saw the hurt on her face was hold her and reassure her that his friends were wrong about his intentions with her. He punched a locker door as he walked down the hall,
"Monday mornings suck!"

Chapter Twenty-Two
by Fidomom

"Jason?"His head snapped up at the sound of her voice and he stood up,
"Chloe, I'm sor..."
She held up her hand to stop him,
"Hey that's my line."
He looked at her completely baffled,
"Pardon?"
She looked down at her feet before looking up into those precious emerald green eyes of his.
"I suspect I overreacted this morning. I don't know why I do that. I've gone over and over it in my mind and I keep reaching the conclusion that you would never purposely try to give me a bad reputation. I must have misinterpreted what I heard and what I saw. Then to make matters worse I cut you off when you tried to tell me what actually was going on. Jason, I don't know what all was said but I shouldn't have been so quick to condemn you. I'm sorry. I understand if it's you who doesn't want to speak to me ever again."
He just stood there staring at her and not saying anything. She nodded once believing he was declining her apology and turned to walk away. She felt his hand on her arm and she stopped and looked up at him again. He gave her such a profound look of incredulity,
"Excuse me, did I hear you right? Did you just apologise to me?"
She nodded her head wondering what he was so incredulous about.
He shook his head in denial utterly stunned and took a step back,
"No, see, I'm the screw up. Girls don't apologise to me- ever! How do you figure you have anything to be sorry for? I don't get it."
Chloe was overcome with such a tenderness for him just then.
"Jason, I hate to be the one to break it to you but you do not have the market cornered on being wrong. I was in the wrong this time and I apologise at the very least for not giving you the benefit of the doubt. Not that you owe me an explanation after my apalling behavior towards you but if you'd like to tell me what really happened this morning I'll shut up and listen this time. I just wanted you to know that I really am sorry."
He gave her a small hopeful smile,
"So you really aren't mad at me?"
She smiled encouragingly and touched his arm,
"No Jason I'm not ... unless of course you really were trying to sully my impeccable reputation."
Jason looked immediately worried,
"No! I wasn't Chloe, I promise I wasn't!"
She chuckled,
"Jason, I was teasing."
He was startled momentarily speechless and then his face broke out in a huge grin. It made her breath catch. He reached out for her hand and she let him take it.
"I've never known any girl quite like you before. I like you a lot, Chloe. I do want to tell you about this morning. Basically the only reason I didn't say anything to those jerks when they were razzing me is because I wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying ... I was umm too busy keeping an eye out for you. All I could think about all weekend was getting to see you today. By the time my brain caught up to their words I didn't know which comments to refute. When I saw how hurt you looked by what they had said and you turned away from me I wanted to go after you but I couldn't let them off the hook. Maybe I was too late with it but I did tell them to mind their own business and that what happened between you and I is between you and I and it's not up for general discussion ever again."
Chloe smiled at him,
"You really said all that to your friends?"
He nodded and winked at her,
"Course I did. They were dissing my dreamgirl."
A little thrill went through her when he said that and she squeezed his hand,
"Then I am even more sorry for the way I treated you this morning."
He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes,
"Okay so like are we all made up now?"
She shook her head,
"Not quite but almost. Would you mind very much if I hug you?"
"Chloe, who ever heard of hug and make up?"
He didn't even wait for her answer, he just pulled her into his arms and kissed her ... right there in the middle of the cafeteria at the peak of lunch hour.

Chapter 23
by Fidomom

Chloe's heart thundered in her ribcage and her knees went weak as Jason's lips moved over hers. Her hands slid up around his neck and his arms tightened around her waist. Jason was filled with happiness that she was back in his arms. He was so relieved she wasn't angry with him anymore and that he hadn't lost her because of his idiot friends. He lifted his mouth away from hers but then changed his mind and swooped in for a few extra quick kisses. He smiled down into her beautiful precious gem eyes. She smiled stealing his breath the way only she could. From one of the lunchroom tables someone yelled,
"Get a room!"
Chloe blushed and attempted to move away from him but he held fast with his arms and with his gaze,
"You're all I'm aware of. Will you have lunch with me? Will you sit with me?"
She looked at him in wonder and nodded her head almost imperceptibly. She was immediately rewarded with a dancing light in his emerald eyes as he grinned. He offered her the crook of his arm and led her to his table. He glared warningly at his friends when it looked like they were going to get up and leave if she sat with them. The guys all sat back down but Philip had to yank Cynthia back down beside him. He nuzzled her neck whispering in her ear,
"I don't want her here either but it's what Jase wants and he's our friend. Be nice Cyn Cyn and I'll buy you something really pretty and special. Anything you want, babe. I'll make it up to you I promise."
Cynthia held Philip's face and looked into his baby blues,
"I don't make nice with anyone I don't like and I don't like her. How's this though, I won't go out of my way to be mean. It better be something very expensive and you better keep your promise to me for this. Having to look at her is sure to ruin my appetite for lunch Philip, so you better have plans to take me out for dinner tonight."
Philip turned his dimples on full blast and winked at her as his hand stroked her hip,
"That's my girl! Thanks babe! You won't regret this I promise!"
She gave him a warning look,
"I better not!"
Philip pulled her to him and kissed her placatingly. Chloe looked around the table cautiously, but nobody was staring at her, whispering about her or making snide remarks. Jason sat so that his thigh was flush against hers, and it bolstered her confidence. Somehow Jason managed to laugh and joke with his friends and still he included Chloe in the conversations. Every so often his arm would find it's way around her back or across her shoulders as they ate their lunches. When it looked like his friends were about to gather their things and leave Jason cleared his throat.
"Ahem. K-man? Tim? Hawk? Our little talk this morning? Now would be a good time."
All three guys rolled their eyes but only Hawk complained,
"Awww come on Jase don't do this to us man!"
Jason glared at Hawk menacingly,
"Hey Hawk? I saw Amy Matthews today. Didn't you used to date her? Say did you ever meet her older brother? I hear he's the quarterback for the Salem Universi..."
Hawk's face blanched and he interrupted Jason to address Chloe.
"Hey Gh- I mean Chloe. About this morning. I'm sorry for prying into yours and Jason's personal business. I won't let it happen again. I gotta go Jase, see ya around."
Chloe looked surprised but nodded her acceptance of his apology and watched puzzled as Hawk high-tailed it out of there. Tim didn't hesitate he knew when Jason meant business,
"Yeah, Chloe. I'm sorry about this morning too. Jason didn't tell us anything. We were just razzing him. No hard feelings ok?"
Again Chloe could do little more than nod. She felt like she was living in the Twilight Zone. She wasn't the only one. Cynthia looked from Philip to Jason to Chloe and back to Philip,
"Alright what the hell is going on here? Why did Tim and Hawk practically kiss Vampira's feet just now? Philip? If you even think of apologizing to that freak and groveling for it's forgiveness I will give you something to be truly sorry for!! And you Jason! I don't know what you have on Tim and Hawk that made them say sorry to that thing you're sitting beside but I absolutely forbid Philip to humiliate us by apologising to it! You have nothing on him because he wouldn't dare lie to me or keep a secret from me! Philip we're leaving! NOW!"
Jason caught Cynthia's eye and smiled dangerously,
"Sit down and be quiet Cynthia. I'm in the mood to trip down memory lane. Beginning with last Fourth of July when Phil had to be out of town with his Dad. Did she ever tell you Phil how much she missed you when you were gone?"~There's no way you'll ever want Phil to know you two-timed him with our rival team's quarterback. You'd lose access to the love of your life- Phil's money!~
Still standing Cynthia stared at Jason panic-stricken and placed her palms on the table,
"That's enough Jason. Philip say what you have to say to Morticia and then we are out of here. Hurry up! The atmosphere here is making my skin crawl."
Philip was completely lost and confused about what Jason had just said. He was also wondering why Cynthia had spun a 180 on her edict that he not apologise to Chloe~What the hell is Jason on about? Of course Cynthia missed me last 4th of July! Duh! That's only our anniversary! What a dumbass question! Whatever. As long as Cyn never finds out I exaggerated when I told the guys how far we went on our first date. I'd have to spend a whole lot of cash to get her to take me back if she ever did find out, and dad is already convinced I spend too much money on her, as it is.~
"Sure Cynnie babe. Umm sorry about this morning Chloe. Won't happen again. Satisfied Jase?"
Jason smiled and shrugged,
"We're cool K-man! Cyn you seem a little bitchy. Why don't you go buy something expensive with Phil's credit card? Shopping always makes you feel better doesn't it? Almost as good as oh, say, the 4th of July?"
Cynthia glared daggers at Jason and practically dragged Phil from the cafeteria. As soon as they were gone Jason turned to Chloe,
"I'm really sorry about that Chloe. Cynthia can be a real bitch sometimes."
Chloe looked at Jason shaking her head sadly,
"Jason, I get that you were trying to make things right and I appreciate that you did that but I think you made them hate me even more."
Jason chewed the inside corner of his bottom lip.
"Chloe if that is how they feel I'm really sorry, but it really wasn't about forcing them to like you. It was about my friends respecting me. It was about me letting them know that I do like you and that I won't tolerate them putting you down whatsoever."
Chloe looked at Jason thoughtfully a moment. A slow smile spread across her face.
"Oh." Jason returned her smile and leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips. He pulled away and winked,
"You know if we hurry up and clean up our table, we'll still have a few minutes before our afternoon classes to just hang out together."
Chloe looked at his mouth,
"What should we do?"
He looked at her mouth,
"I'm sure we'll think of something. Come on let's get this mess cleaned up and get out of here!"
They tidied up their table, gathered their things, and walked out of the cafeteria holding hands, smiling about how they would be spending their next seven minutes before afternoon classes started.

Chloe was in the middle of homework when her phone rang. She answered quickly hoping it was Jason.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chloe I'm on a homework break and I'm dying of curiosity! So tell me about you and Jason! I saw you guys kissing in the cafeteria so don't even try to downplay anything! I want dirt girl!"
Chloe laughed,
"Hi Belle! I'm fine gee thanks for asking! Try asking me a specific question because I'm a little unclear what exactly is meant by dirt. You're my best friend Belle I trust you. I wouldn't try to keep anything from you I'm just not very quick to offer information even in the best of circumstances. Fire away! What exactly do you want to know?"
"Hmmmm. Well are you guys going on a second date?"
A concerned look crossed Chloe's face,
"I don't know, Belle. He hasn't asked me to. Even if he did I'm not so sure I'd say yes."
"What? From the way you two were kissing today I thought you really liked him. Don't you?"
Chloe's mouth turned up in a small smile,
"Actually, Belle I do like him- a lot!"
"Then I don't get why you think you might not say yes if he asks you out again?"
"Belle? Just what are the kiss and tell rules? I mean if I tell you stuff is that breaking some sort of privacy thing with Jason? I mean I'd absolutely die if he told anyone so maybe I'm not supposed to tell anyone either."
"Okay, hon, you can't say stuff like that to me and then not elaborate! Spill it Chloe! You have my word I won't tell anyone whatever you tell me. I promise. Not even Shawn."
"Oh God Belle especially not Shawn! Not only would I die of embarassment but he's Jason's best friend! They tell each other everything just like you and I do ... oh dear God maybe Jason's already told him! Okay I'm officially a pile of dead on the floor! I'm never looking Shawn in the eye ever again!"
"Oh my God Chloe, what gives already?! What are you so freaked out about? Oh my God did you and Jason ... oh Chloe did you and Jason go all the way or something? Did you and Jason do IT on your first date?!"
Chloe bit her lip and cringed,
"Not exactly. Think more along the lines of Clinton and Lewinsky."
"Oh my God Chloe you had me so worried! All the girls do that for their guys. Even me. Like the man says it doesn't count."
"And the guys do it back too?"
"WHAT?! Oh my God! He didn't! Oh my God Chloe did he? Seriously?"
"Okay by your reaction I've done something bad."
"No no no no no! You didn't do anything bad Chloe. It's just that a lot of guys won't do that no matter how long they've been with their STEADY girlfriends and you and Jason have only been on one date- you aren't even going steady, yet."
"That's why I'm thinking I might say no if he asks me on a second date. We went so far on the first date and I liked what we did but there's no way I'm ready to go further, you know?"
"Oh I get it now! Duh! Lightbulb! You think he'll expect you to go all the way next time."
"Pretty much. He has a reputation Belle. I really like him so much and I'm so worried he's just playing me but then I think about how incredibly sweet and silly he was with me on our date and I have to believe he couldn't fake that, if he didn't really like me. And then today he actually stuck up for me to his friends. Belle only you and Shawn have ever done that. I want to go out with him again but I'm afraid he'll either never ask or that I'll chicken out and say no and then he'll just give up on me."
"Wow, Chloe! You've got it really bad for him huh? It's hard to believe just last week the two of you were trading insults!"
"I know Belle. I'm so confused. I guess I could worry myself sick about all the what ifs but I won't know a thing unless or until he asks me out again."
"I may have an idea you could live with Chloe."
"Oh?"
"What if on your second date with Jason you had a chaperone?"
"What, like an adult you mean? Ewww, no way Belle!"
"No silly! Me! Shawn too of course! The four of us could go on a double date and that might relieve some of the pressure you're feeling about being alone with him and going too far. What do you think?"
"Sounds great, Belle except for one thing. He hasn't given me any indication he wants to go on a second date with me."
"I will work my oh so subtle Belle Black magic on my boyfriend who just happens to be Jason's best friend! Don't worry I won't tell Shawn why we want to double date."
"Belle I don't want Jason to feel pressured into asking me out."
"Leave it to me Chloe! Not only will Jason ask you out on a second date- a doubler with me and Shawn, but it will be Jason's idea!"
"How on earth can you promise that?"
"Belle Black magic! Bye, Chloe my homework is calling out to me!"
"Belle! Belle?"
Chloe hung up her phone and went back to her homework trying in vain not to think of emerald eyes full of mischief. She didn't even know she was smiling.

Chloe was just drifting off to sleep when her telephone rang. She answered it before it could ring a second time.
"Hello?"
"Hi. It's me Jason. I'm sorry to wake you."
Chloe smiled and sat up in bed instantly alert. She clicked on her bedside lamp.
"That's okay, Jason I wasn't completely asleep yet anyway, just drifting. Is everything okay?"
"What? Oh. Oh yeah, everything's okay. I'm really sorry for calling so late. You're not mad at me?"
She smiled picturing his worried face,
"No, I'm not mad, Jason. I am curious though. Why are you calling?"
She heard him laugh nervously,
"It's kind of lame. I just wanted to hear your voice. Okay it's more than that. I wanted to see you ... tonight."
Chloe's eyes filled with warmth,
"Awww that's not lame! That's so sweet! I wish we could have seen each other tonight too."
"We still could. Chloe I really need to see you. Even if it's just for a half hour or so. Please?"
Chloe frowned becoming worried,
"Need? Jason I thought you said everything was fine. What's the matter?"
"Nothing. Forget it. I'm sorry for calling so late. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye Chloe. Sweet dreams dreamgirl."
Chloe leaned forward as though the action could stop him from disconnecting,
"Jason! Wait! Don't hang up, please?"
"I'm still here. Why don't you want me to hang up?"
She frowned again,
"Where are you?"
She heard him let out a short quiet laugh,
"In your back yard."
Chloe scrambled out of bed and went to the window to look out.
"Really? Why didn't you say so in the first place?"
They made eye contact through her bedroom window. She saw him shrug.
"I don't know. I guess I would have said if you had agreed to see me."
She gave him a puzzled look,
"Please stay right there Jason I'll come outside. I'll be down in five minutes ok?"
She saw his relieved smile and he nodded his head,
"Okay. I'll wait even if it takes a bit longer for you to come out here. See you in a few minutes. I guess we can hang up now?"
She smiled and nodded back to him,
"Yeah. I'll be right down. See you in a few minutes."
Chloe hung up and put her robe and slippers on. She cautiously opened her bedroom door trying not to make any sounds that would attract her mom's attention. She crept down the stairs and discovered that a few of the steps creaked. She made a mental note of which were the noisy steps for future reference. She unlocked the back door as quietly as she could and stepped outside closing it behind her just as quietly. She turned to survey the back yard and didn't see Jason anywhere. He startled her by dropping out of a tree. He smiled at her and walked over to stand in front of her. He gently stroked her hair and then caressed her cheek with the back of his index finger.
"Thank-you for agreeing to meet me out here afterall."
He put his arms around her and just stood there with her swaying slightly to an unheard melody. Chloe's arms crept around his middle and she lay her head against his broad strong shoulder as she wondered why he was really here.
"Jason? Please talk to me. You seem I don't know out of sorts or something. What's upsetting you?"
Jason stood very still and in a hoarse whisper told her,
"Us."
Chloe stiffened in dread,
"Us? What do you mean?"
He leaned back and rested his hands lightly on her shoulders,
"I think I messed up. I did something that I think you're gonna get angry at me for. Maybe you won't even want to talk to me ever again."
Chloe felt her heart drop into her stomach,
"Were you kissing another girl?"
Jason looked confused then surprised,
"Another gi ..? NO! No of course not! ... That would make you mad, huh?"
Chloe was suddenly awkward about the conclusion she had jumped to. She ignored his probing question.
"Then what was it, Jason? What did you do?"
After several false starts he finally managed to divulge a little bit more.
"I've been wanting to ask you out again but I've been worried about it figuring you'll say no. Yeah sure we joked that our first date didn't go that far according to ex-President Clinton, but it did go pretty far in retrospect. I don't regret anything we did that night I'm just afraid that it may deter you from agreeing to a second date with me. I'm crazy about you, Chloe and I do want you- as in I do want to go all the way with you. I realise though that if and when that ever happens that it's somewhere way far down the road in time because I know you aren't ready for that and it really is okay with me. I know what my reputation is and I have no way of letting you know without a doubt that I intend to respect you that I won't put any pressure on you. Chloe if you wanted to just hold hands with me indefinitely I'd settle for that I really would. Anyway I was really worried about us and where we go from here and that's when I did the thing I think you'll be angry about."
Chloe suddenly knew what he had done and decided to put him out of his misery,
"Jason? Did you confide in Shawn about what happened on our first date?"
His jaw dropped open and he looked scared,
"Yeah but not all of it I swear Chloe! I tried to be really vague but he got me to admit we went down on each other. I'm so sorry Chloe! Please don't be mad at me?"
Chloe kept her features expressionless,
"Okay, Jason on one condition."
He looked so relieved,
"Anything Chloe! Name it."
She gave him a sheepish hesitant smile,
"You don't get mad at me for telling Belle the exact same thing under very similar circumstances?"
Jason blushed,
"Belle knows what we did?"
Chloe fought a burst of laughter,
"That's pretty much how I feel about Shawn knowing! I guess we're even. Besides I trust Belle and I guess Shawn too. They won't gossip about us or anything. Jason? About a second date? You were justified in your worries about it. I would have declined."
Jason absorbed what she said,
"Would have? What about now?"

Chapter 26

"Jason? About a second date? You were justified in your worries about it. I would have declined."
Jason absorbed what she said,
"Would have? What about now?"
Chloe hesitated then cautiously spoke,
"Well ... I don't think I want to be completely alone with you again ... at least not for a good long while ... you are much too tempting for me."
Jason smirked and whispered,
"You're completely alone with me right now and we've both still got clothes on!"
Chloe had to stifle a giggle,
"You're right! You haven't even kissed me! We weren't even holding hands! All we did is hug each other."
Jason looked at her full of hope,
"What would make you feel okay to go on a second date with me?"
Chloe shrugged uncertainly,
"I don't know. Maybe if we were to agree to ground rules regarding how affectionate we get with each other?"
Jason gave her a reassuring smile,
"Okay. It's like I said I'd be happy even if all you'll let me do is hold hands with you."
Chloe gave him a wry grin,
"Jason I like you way too much to be satisfied with us never doing more than holding hands. I ... I like kissing you. I even like it when you rub my backside when we're kissing. Making out past that though is disconcerting for me. Especially when it happens as spontaneously as it did on our first date. It's not that I'm against going that far with you again it's just if we ever did want to go that far again then I'd want it to be something we planned on beforehand and not something we get carried away to. Do you know what I mean?"
Jason looked intrigued,
"Yeah I think so. So holding hands, kissing and even a little ass stroking is okay for the most part but other things like me touching your tits or between your legs that's more like something we might decide on together if we're I don't know celebrating a milestone in our relationship or something? Is that what you mean?"
Chloe closed her eyes and groaned in sudden sexual frustration,
"This is getting so complicated! Jason, I'm crazy about you! I liked all the ways you touched me on our first date. Okay how's this? In front of parents hand holding and small kisses are in, around the kids at school well the way you kissed me in the cafeteria I was okay with so that's in, on dates when there are plenty of other kids around the umm ass stroking as you called it is in, the other touching you mentioned only through our clothes and only if we're in a dark public place. Under the clothes and going down on each other only if we plan on it ahead of time. Oh man! It's too much isn't it? Too many rules, right?"
Jason breathed a sigh of relief,
"No actually. Those are simple and very helpful to me. I've been so worried about disrespecting you or pushing you too far. It eases my mind to know exactly what you're comfortable with and under what circumstances. At least with your rules I still get to hold you and touch you and kiss you. My way would have had us stuck only holding hands so I could avoid the risk of offending you or coming on too strong. Hey, maybe if I use those rules with all the girls I ever date I'll have a better chance of getting second dates more often!"
Chloe's eyes blazed in hurt anger,
"What!? You can just forget it Masters! You can just go ahead and take me off your dating list entirely! Goodnight!"
Jason laughed lightly,
"Gotcha!"
She glared at him,
"Yeah well the joke's on you bub and I am not amused! Goodbye, Jason!"
Jason closed his eyes mentally kicking himself,
"Come on Chloe please? I was just kidding. There really aren't any other girls I'm even interested in dating. There's only you. You're my dreamgirl ... Don't make me serenade you! I can't sing worth beans! Only you ... "
She tried really hard to stay mad but his singing was so awful and it was so cute the way he was willing to make a fool of himself. She laughed in spite of herself.
"Why did you even say that?"
He looked at her with puppy dog eyes,
"I wondered if you were jealous over me when you thought I had kissed another girl. I kind of liked the idea of you wanting me all to yourself. Hmmm....you know I've been trying to convince some of the other guys at school that you're a Goddess. I think I'm gonna stop doing that, because if any of them realises I'm telling the truth, they'll turn your head away from me and you won't want me anymore. You'll want some other guy who's smarter, funnier, nicer, better looking, a better singer, has a better repu ..."
Chloe swiped his arm playfully,
"Would you stop! That will never happen! I am YOUR dreamgirl nobody else's and I happen to be crazy about you and only you ... 'only you' ..."
Jason burst out laughing at her perfect mimicry of his off key singing and he put his hands over his ears,
"Oh Goddess please stop! Stop and I promise I will never torture you with my singing ever again ... well except for the birthday song but hey nobody can sing that song so it sounds good!"
Chloe laughed, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Jason's hands quickly left his ears. He wrapped his arms around her and returned her kiss. As he kissed her he wondered if the rules were in effect~Guess there's one way to find out.~. He deepened their kiss and his hands roamed her ass, her breasts and between her legs- all through her clothing. Chloe moaned and yanked herself out of his arms. Breathing raggedly she looked at him incredulously,
"Jason! Why did you do that?"
At first he was going to apologise but then he smirked at her,
"Your rules Chloe. It's dark, I figure outside is pretty public, we're alone and my hands didn't venture underneath your clothes. Did I mess up?"
Chloe closed her eyes with a self-deprecating laugh as she shook her head,
"No, Jason, you didn't. I umm I forgot the rules and I thought you were trying to seduce me and umm well it was working and that scared me because we just talked about that. You umm wanna try that again, same rules apply?"
Jason grinned widely and he pulled her back into his arms. He nuzzled her neck and whispered,
"You feel incredible even through your clothes, dreamgirl!"
They made out for a little while then Jason pulled away.
"Hey Chloe? Would you go on a second date with me if we double date with Shawn and Belle for it?"
Chloe was stunned~Wow, Belle! You work fast!~
"A double date? What made you think of that?"
Jason shrugged,
"Dunno. I just figured if we're around Shawn and Belle for our second date then we'll have a better chance of sticking to the rules. It'll give me a chance to prove to you too that you don't have to be afraid to be alone with me. I really won't pressure you Chloe, I mean it."
Chloe smiled,
"A double date sounds perfect Jason! I'd really like to go on a second date with you. I think it's only fair to mention though that you not pressuring me is only half the battle ... you don't have the market on raging hormones! I'm still concerned that in the heat of the moment it might be me who pushes for more than I'm ready for."
Jason's eyes filled with delight,
"Really? So you umm want me to play the heavy? You want me to promise not to let you do anything unplanned in the heat of the moment?"
Chloe grinned,
"Only if it's a promise you can keep! I can be very determined you know!"
Jason mustered up some mock arrogance,
"Yeah well bullying is my strong suit, I can take you!"
She held his face in her hands and still laughing kissed his mouth,
"Well we'll have to argue about this some other time ... say maybe on our second date? It's very late Jason I need sleep! I'm going to be so dead tired tomorrow during afternoon classes!"
She tried to move away from him but he pulled her back,
"Wanna have a picnic lunch in the courtyard with me tomorrow? I'll even let you nap if you're very tired. You in?"
She nodded smiling at him,
"I'm in. Kiss me goodnight you and let me go to bed!"
He kissed her softly on the mouth,
"Goodnight, Chloe. Sweet dreams dreamgirl."
"Goodnight Jason. See you tomorrow."
He grinned,
"Actually I'm going home to sleep so I'll see you in less than two hours ... dreamgirl!"
She laughed and walked to her back door. She stopped looked over her shoulder and blew him a kiss before going inside. Jason stood there a few minutes longer watching her bedroom window. She looked out her window and waved to him. He blew her a kiss, waved goodbye and left the Wesley's back yard for home ... to rendez-vous with his dreamgirl in dreamland.

Jason smiled with delight when he felt hands slide around his waist from behind and drift up to his chest. He put his hands over them so he could bask in the sensation of the warm body pressed up against his back. His smile widened when the arms around him squeezed. He turned so he could return the embrace. He looked down into the pair of sapphire eyes glittering up at him with pleasure,
"Hey handsome!"
He leaned down to kiss her briefly,
"Hey dreamgirl! Ready for our picnic?"
She pouted,
"Hey I wasn't done yet, bring your mouth back down here!"
He raised his eyebrows and let out a little chuckle.
"Oh you wanted a proper kiss did you?"
She smiled, nodded her head, and hooked her arm around the back of his neck,
"Uh-huh!"
He put his hands at the small of her back and pulled her in close as he dipped his head. Chloe sighed happily as his mouth settled over hers again and she parted her lips. She caressed his soft lips with the tip of her tongue and he let her in. They melted into each other as their tongues got reacquainted. Jason made a deep, low sound in his throat and Chloe reluctantly let their kiss taper off. Jason was torn between disappointment and relief as their kiss ended. He knew if they hadn't stopped kissing he'd have had something to hide. He leaned his forehead against hers with his eyes closed,
"Proper kisses feel good Chloe, but they are way dangerous for me."
She snuggled into him and tightened her arms around his waist, resting her ear against his thundering heart,
"Sorry Jason. I'll try to remember not to kiss you like that here at school. I got a little carried away myself. I am ready for our picnic now if you still want us to have one."
She looked up into his translucent green eyes as she waited for a response. He smiled and dropped a kiss on the tip of her nose,
"Of course I still want us to have a picnic together! Come on, we'll eat in the courtyard."
Jason and Chloe stepped through doors leading to a private courtyard boxed in on all four sides by school walls. The courtyard was only accessible from inside the school. It was about the size of 2 Olympic swimming pools. There were benches, trash bins, flowerbeds, trees, shrubs, fountains, lawns, a small goldfish pond and pathways. Other students were in the courtyard as well but it was by no means crowded. Jason and Chloe strolled along the pathway with their elbows linked. He stopped her near a fountain and pointed to a patch of grass under a cherry tree,
"How about there?"
She nodded and they settled in at the base of the tree. They ate their brown bagged lunches in comfortable silence. When they had finished eating Chloe gathered up their refuse and put it in a nearby trash bin. She returned to Jason. She kneeled between his legs facing him, and gave him a slow lingering kiss,
"Thank-you, Jason. The picnic was a really great idea. It's really pretty out here and I feel very relaxed and happy being here with you."
He kissed her again but very briefly,
"I'm glad you enjoyed our picnic. Think you feel relaxed enough to have that little nap? You can if you want to. I'll keep an eye on the time for us and wake you up for afternoon classes. It's only fair since I kept you up well past your bedtime last night."
She smiled and held his hand in hers, caressing his fingers,
"Well, I can't let you take all the blame for me being awake so late last night. We were having a very necessary talk and it's partly because of our talk that I'm in such a good mood today. Admittedly though I am a little tired! You sure you won't be bored or insulted if I take you up on your offer of letting me have a little power snooze?"
He frowned then smiled,
"Nah! I won't be bored or insulted. Come on, turn around and lean back against me. There. You comfy? Good. Now, just close those gorgeous eyes of yours for a while, and I really will let you know when it's time to go in for afternoon classes."
He wrapped his arms across her waist and she rested her arms over his. She closed her eyes and let herself be lulled by the sounds around her and the feeling of warmth and security as Jason held her. Jason kissed her temple and leaned his head against the tree. He couldn't recall ever feeling so peaceful. He let his eyes close for a moment. When he opened them he and Chloe were stretched out on the grass with their arms around eachother. Chloe was still sleeping. With a sinking feeling he stole a peek at his watch. He groaned inwardly~Fuck! Can't I do anything right? She's gonna be so pissed at me and rightly so! 'I'll keep an eye on the time for us and wake you up for afternoon classes' Arrrgghh!~ He shifted his weight so he could look at Chloe's face~God you're beautiful, dreamgirl!~,
"Chloe? Chloe? Hey, come on Chloe, wake up. Come on sleeping beauty open those gorgeous blues. Well, I'm no prince but when you do wake up and find out how royally I've screwed up I may not get to do this for a good long while, so...."
He softly placed his mouth against hers and tugged her bottom lip between his. He felt her stir . She smiled against his mouth and then responded to his kiss. He let her for a moment but his conscience jabbed him. He lifted his face away from her and looked into her eyes apologetically,
"I screwed up. I fell asleep too." He moved away to accomodate her sudden bolt upright. Disgusted with himself he showed her his watch. She gasped aloud and her eyes flew to his,
"Oh, Jason no! Please tell me that isn't the right time! Oh my God! My mom is going to kill me! How the hell am I going to explain this? 'Oh gee Mom I fell asleep with my boyfriend and missed all my afternoon classes! Why, Chloe? Well, Mom I was tired because he and I were up very late together last night!' Oh, yeah right! That oughtta go over real well! Shit, Jason, now what are we gonna do?"
Jason's jaw hung open. He took a deep breath.
"Okay I'm needing some clarification here ... one- aren't you pissed at me? And two- did you just refer to me as your boyfriend or is that just wishful thinking on my part?"
Chloe's eyes widened in surprise,
"Angry at you? Why would I be? You were up even later than I was. No, Jason I'm not angry at you. Not at all. Truth be told that was the best nap I've had in a very long time. However we now have a lot of explaining to do to our parents and teachers."
Jason was relieved and surprised she wasn't mad at him but a little anxious about her avoidance of the other item he'd mentioned.
"Chloe? Am I your boyfriend? I mean can I be? I mean I'd really like to be. If it's too soon it's okay and all it's just you said it and I just wondered ... oh nevermind ... I heard you wrong or misunderstood ... sorry. I'll just shut-up now."
Chloe looked at him as he fidgeted and turned redder by the second~Oh my God he is so cute!~. She reached out her hand to touch his bright red cheek and smiled when he stole a glance at her.
"Jason. You weren't wrong and you didn't misunderstand. I did say boyfriend. It just kind of rolled off my tongue. I think it's a pretty safe bet that it isn't too soon for me since I said it so easily. I'd really like for it to be true too."
A slow grin spread across his face like a sunrise,
"So um official and exclusive?"
They shared a small, soft kiss and she nodded,
"Yeah, Jason. Official and exclusive."
His grin stayed put as he hugged her,
"Way cool."
She pulled out of their embrace and looked him in the eye,
"So what should we do about this? Should we just tell the truth and accept the consequences?"
Jason hung his head,
"Oh man if we do that not only am I so grounded for sneaking out to see you last night but my folks are going to take away my car keys for cutting classes!"
Chloe chewed on her lip,
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Mom will make me postpone our double date and she'll take away my phone. Hmmm. Is there any other way to explain this and not get in trouble?"
Jason gave her a very apologetic look,
"I don't think there is. I'm really sorry Chloe for falling asleep and putting us in this situation."
Chloe shrugged and squeezed his hand,
"It isn't all your fault Jason. We'll just get through our punishments and then we'll go on that double date we talked about. Hopefully Belle and Shawn won't be too disappointed about the change in plans."
Jason got to his feet and pulled Chloe up to stand too.
"Shawn and Belle are cool. They won't get bent out of shape over this. Come on, dreamgirl, I'll give you a ride home."
She nodded and linked her arm with his. They left the courtyard, each dreading admitting to their parents that they had slept through their afternoon classes- together.

Still reeling from his parents' reaction to his admission Jason picked up his ringing phone,
"Yeah?"
Chloe could tell something was wrong,
"Jason? It's me Chloe. Did you tell them?"
Jason brightened and sat up straighter,
"Oh, hey Dreamgirl! Yeah. I told them. Everything."
Chloe frowned hoping he wasn't in too much trouble,
"And did they react like you expected? No car keys?"
Jason wasn't ready to tell her yet,
"I'll tell you all about it in a bit. First tell me how things went for you. Did you tell your Mom yet?"
Chloe pursed her lips,
"Uh-huh."
Jason absorbed her answer then suspicion crept over his features,
"Wait just a second. You say you told her? But you're on the phone with me. She didn't take away your phone? Or is this your last phonecall for a while?"
Chloe raised an eyebrow and smiled,
"Actually Jason it's the reason I'm calling. She isn't taking my phone away. She wasn't real happy about me missing afternoon classes or the reason I was that tired but she was- get this- PROUD of me for telling the truth. I couldn't believe it. I was expecting her to completely lose it and she didn't. She said my grades are good enough that she isn't worried about me making up the missed work. I'm not completely off the hook however. She told me that I have to limit my deep discussions with you to reasonable hours at least on school nights. She even said she doesn't mind you visiting late as long as we are not sneaking around; as long as it's on the up and up. Frankly her reaction is kind of freaking me out."
Jason's brows knit in puzzlement,
"What, so she doesn't completely hate me for what happened? She's still gonna let me see you?"
Chloe grinned,
"Yeah, she's still gonna let us see each other. I was ready to go sneaking, Jason and now I don't even have to."
Jason frowned,
"Sneaking? What do you mean?"
Chloe laughed lightly,
"I told you before silly, if she ever tried to keep me from seeing you I'd just see you behind her back."
A huge grin spread across his face,
"Yeah you did tell me that. You really would have, huh? Cool. Well guess what? My folks didn't take my keys. My dad looked me in the eye and said and I quote 'Son, of all the excuses you've ever given for cutting classes that one is just absurd enough that I actually believe you and if this girl Chloe has you telling the truth then I'm just gonna let this one slide.' he did say that he wouldn't tolerate it becoming a regular habit or nothing. Oh and he's cool with me having the car for our date. I think my dad likes you Chloe."
Chloe let out a small gasp,
"Well, you don't have to sound so surprised about it Jason!"
Jason's mouth opened slightly and his eyes widened,
"I'm not! I didn't mean it to come out like that!"
Chloe laughed,
"Jason, you're so much fun to tease. I knew you didn't mean it like that."
Jason scowled,
"Yeah well you'll be teasing a dial tone soon if you keep being a brat!"
Chloe smirked,
"You'd really do that? You'd hang up on me? So much for me being your dreamgirl."
Jason fought a smile,
"Oh you're definitely my dreamgirl but don't think for a minute it means you can treat me badly and walk all over me."
Chloe's face turned pink,
"Jason I'm sorry. I was just teasing. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Jason chuckled,
"You're kinda fun to tease too! I wasn't mad. And just for the record no matter how much of a brat you were being I wouldn't hang up on you for it."
Chloe laughed softly,
"Oh. Guess I deserved some of that, huh? Jason? Do I have to wait until tomorrow at school to see you?"
Jason's eyes twinkled with happiness,
"You wanna see me tonight?"
Chloe twirled the phone cord around her finger and smiled,
"Yes."
Jason paused to think biting his bottom lip,
"Okay. How's this? I could come over after supper tonight and maybe you could help me with my homework? I mean would you?"
Her whole face lit up,
"Sounds perfect! I'll have to ask my mom just to make sure but I'm pretty confident she'll say yes. I'll call you back after supper and let you know for certain okay?"
Jason smiled,
"Okay. Since you're thinking she'll say yes I'm gonna think positive. I'll see you later. Chloe? I really do need help with my homework but it isn't the only reason I want to see you."
Chloe laughed,
"I know that, and I will help with your homework and any other reason you have for wanting to see me, well as long as it's within what we agreed on last night."
Jason was still smiling,
"Yeah, that's all I wanted anyway. Oh hang on a sec ... yeah, Mom? Okay I'll be right there! Sorry about that, listen I gotta go, just got called for supper. See you in a while?"
Chloe looked at the clock,
"Yeah. See you soon, Jason. Bye."
Chloe hung up the phone and went to put her mother's earlier words to the test.

Chapter 29
by Fidomom

Chloe finished up the supper dishes in record time and raced upstairs to call Jason. He answered on the first ring. Chloe was slightly out of breath as she informed him that he could come over as planned. He promised he'd be over in a half hour or less and they hung up. Chloe set things up at her desk to accomodate a study partner then she went downstairs to fix some snacks for later.
She was just putting the snacks in the fridge when she heard the doorbell. She heard her Mom call out that she would get it. When Chloe got to the foyer Jason was standing just inside the door with her Mom.
Jason's eyes met hers and they smiled at eachother. Chloe walked over to him and put her hand in his as she leaned her face up to his for a quick kiss,
"Hi, Jason!"
Nancy cleared her throat,
"Well then, I guess I'll just let you kids get right to work. Looks like you're prepared to study hard, Jason- that book bag looks heavy. Just remember kids you only have until 11, so use your time wisely. Umm Chloe sweetheart? Your bedroom door stays open, you get me?"
Chloe looked at Jason then smiled at her Mom and kissed her cheek,
"Yeah, I get you Mom. Thanks for being so cool about this. Come on Jason, there are heavy duty academic consequences to our extended nap earlier today- let's get to work! If we get done before 11 maybe we could even just hang out for a bit and watch MTV or something." Jason cast a charming smile at Nancy and let Chloe tug him upstairs to her room. Chloe grabbed his book bag and took out his text books and binder. She put them on her desk in front of the extra chair. Jason watched her with an appreciative smile on his face. When things were set to her satisfaction she finally turned to him and stopped short at the smile on his face,
"What?"
Jason shook his head still smiling,
"Nothing. I just like watching you. Are you always this organised and umm decisive?"
She laughed,
"You mean bossy? Yes on both counts. Now with that said ... "
Jason gasped as she dragged him behind her opened door and put him in a lip lock. He hesitated for all of 2 seconds. When she finally pulled away he smiled and whispered,
"I was wondering how that was gonna happen with your bedroom door open."
She smiled and kissed him again,
"Mystery solved for you?"
He nodded,
"Yeah. Thanks. I needed that. It feels so good to hold you and kiss you and know that my alarm clock won't ring and make you vanish."
Chloe searched his eyes and touched his cheek,
"I'm so used to you calling me your Dreamgirl, but sometimes I think you must be exaggerating. I mean you couldn't really dream about me that much, but then you say things like that and it makes me wonder."
Jason raised his eyebrows and sighed,
"Exaggerate? No. Try understate. Every night. From the first day you came to Salem High to present. Admittedly not every dream has been pleasant especially not the early ones. Even now not every dream is all mushy or sexual. Sometimes I even have nightmares but they play out like a movie where you and me are the only two surviving characters you know? Trust me Chloe, you are my Dreamgirl not just because you are everything I ever wanted in a girlfriend but because you're in my dreams every night- literally. It's kind of I don't know? Comforting? I mean I expect it now."
Chloe frowned worriedly,
"But Jason what would you do if you stopped dreaming about me? I mean this pattern can't continue indefinitely. What will you do?"
He looked at her as though memorising her and shrugged his shoulders,
"What would I do? I don't know. Grieve? Yeah probably that. I'd grieve. Definitely. Listen we should probably hit the books now, huh?" Chloe read the plea in his eyes and knew the topic had made him uncomfortable. She kissed him softly then smiled and winked at him,
"Think you and I could kick some academic butt tonight the way we kick butt in your nightmares?"
That elicited a huge grin,
"Yeah. I do. We're a good team. Let's crack 'em open!" She smiled, nodded and led him over to the desk. They sat down, opened their books and referred to the homework assignment sheet. Chloe caught his eye,
"Ready?"
He looked skeptical,
"As I'll ever be."
She laughed and they got to work.
****
An hour and a half later Jason groaned loudly and rubbed at his blurry vision,
"Do you always do your homework like this Chloe? I have never spent this much time on homework ... EVER!"
She smiled sympathetically,
"Aww, I'm sorry Jason am I pushing you too hard? I do always do my homework like this. We could take a break? I made some snacks before you came over, shall I go get those?"
He sighed and looked at her,
"Just tell me how much longer do you figure until we're done? My neck, back and shoulders are already not happy."
Chloe looked at the assignment sheet and looked over the work they'd gotten done. She glanced at the clock and smiled.
"Well if I have this figured out properly then we could be finished by 10 and then we'd have a whole hour to just hang out together. How does that sound?"
He smiled slightly and leaned in to kiss her,
"Like the best news I've heard all night. Okay with an end in sight I can tough this out better. Will we still make 10 if we have that snack break?"
Chloe rubbed his back briefly,
"Of course. Plus one other short break and we'll still make 10, okay?"
He smiled wearily and nodded. Chloe stood up and Jason leaned forward to rest his closed eyes against his forearm. He jumped slightly when he felt her lips kiss the back of his neck. He smiled as she put her hands on his shoulders and began squeezing, kneading and rubbing his stiff muscles.
"Umm, Chloe? This feels really great and all but is there time for this? I could take a raincheck for after we're done."
Her hands stilled on him as she realised there really wasn't time right now.
"Actually Jason there isn't time for me to do this properly. Oh but I know! Stand up Jason! Okay, good! Now do what I do!"
Jason watched as Chloe did some shoulder shrugs, neck rotations and other stretches. He had known to use these for sports but didn't realise it was effective for homework stiffness. Until tonight he hadn't known there was such a thing as homework stiffness. Jason saw how seriously she was concentrating on showing him the excercises and decided break time was break time. He got her attention and made a crazy face at her. Her jaw dropped open in surprise and she giggled. He pulled her into a hug and nuzzled her neck,
"How about going to get us those snacks? I promise I'll do some more stretching on my own, deal?"
She kissed him quickly and moved out of his arms,
"Deal! I'll be right back with munchies. Get stretching Jason! We still have some serious homework to wade through before our next break."
Jason smirked,
"Well if Coach Wilson ever calls in sick I'll know who to suggest as his replacement!"
Chloe laughed and stuck out her tongue.
"I'll be right back smarty pants!"
As soon as Chloe left the room Jason did a few more stretches and then lay on her bed, with his eyes closed.
"Hey! You promised you would keep stretching!"
Jason startled and got off the bed,
"No. What I said was I would do some more stretching and I did. Then I lay down because I was tired. My girlfriend is a task master and has been getting me to work harder than any teacher has ever been able to get me to do. I'm telling you letter grades are not the right incentives for teenage guys."
By now she was smirking at him,
"Oh and I suppose you'll tell me now what the right incentives would be?"
He gifted her with a grin that made his eyes twinkle mischieviously,
"Getting the one on one attention of curvaceous teenage babes like yourself! Now that would be the very best incentive to work hard and make the grade!"
Chloe stopped smiling and lifted one eyebrow,
"Oh, I see. So any curvy teenage female would do the trick then? There are lots of them at school. Shall I send you over to one of them now?"
Jason laughed uncomfortably,
"Oh, I'm sorry Dreamgirl did I say LIKE yourself? What I meant to say was getting YOUR one on one attention you curvaceous teenage babe!"
Chloe frowned and put the snack tray down,
"Oh? Have you finally convinced other teenaged guys at school that I'm a babe under my loose black clothes? Do you really think I could entice other guys to work as hard as you have tonight? Mr. Woods has asked me to be a tutor several times, so if you think I'd be good at it then I'll tell Mr. Woods tomorrow that I'd be happy to do it."
Jason scowled,
"You better not! I don't want other guys coming on to my gir...."
His rant died midstream as he caught on to the fact she was teasing him. She shook her head at him, smiling, walked over and put her arms around his neck,
"Jason, you don't have anything to worry about. Other guys don't see what you see when you look at me because they accept what I want them to see - a shapeless nameless unimportant girl - and they leave me alone. You are the only one who has ever blatantly ignored my attempts to not be noticed that way. I always wished that you would like me anyway despite my clothes and my glasses, but differently than how Belle and Shawn like me. I actually wanted you to notice me and like me the way boys like girls but I wasn't willing to risk attracting attention from anyone else. I don't know why my wish came true but I'm glad it did because not only are you handsome and popular but you are funny and sweet too. You are a good person, Jason and I like you. And just for the record the only guy I want to be an incentive for is you."
Jason pulled her closer but cast his eyes downward. He glanced at her cautiously,
"I do like you that way, Chloe and I am very attracted to you exactly as you are and however you're comfortable. I hope I don't say this wrong but if fear of unwanted attention is keeping you wearing loose black clothes it doesn't have to - I'd protect you Chloe. I'd never let anyone disrespect you or get away with hurting your feelings. I'll like you the way boys like girls no matter what you wear, because I like you for lots of reasons besides just your curvy body. I hope you know that."
She hugged him,
"Well if I didn't know it before I do now. Thank-you Jason. You have a way of making me feel special and ... safe. I feel safe being myself with you in ways that I can't be even with Belle and Shawn."
Jason groaned but with a smile on his face,
"Oh no not again, Chloe! Have you forgotten what happened last time you said you were safe with me?"
Chloe smirked at him,
"No of course not but we didn't have the understanding between us then that we have now, did we?"
Relief washed over his features,
"No, we didn't. I'm hungry and those snacks look good, so can we eat?"
Chloe's mouth dropped open in incredulous amusement,
"That's it? We were in the middle of an important talk and now it's all about 'let's eat'?"
Jason looked worried,
"I thought we were done. Uh so was there something more you wanted to say? Or were you expecting me to say something else?"
Chloe chuckled softly as she looked at him.
"Jason, neither. It's fine. I think we were done it's just your quick topic shift caught me off guard. You were right to remind me about the snacks too otherwise we won't make 10 like we want to. Fuel up- we've still got a fair amount of homework left to wade through!"
They gobbled down their snacks and got right back to work. A half hour later they had finished all the toughest homework. They had about 40 minutes worth of homework left in one subject. It wouldn't require much brain power to do it but it would still be time consuming. Chloe closed the books in front of them and began repacking Jason's bookbag. She arranged his materials for their final subject on her desk then turned to him,
"Let's go outside for a few minutes."
He nodded eagerly and they went downstairs. Chloe found Nancy in the living room reading a novel.
"Mom, Jason and I are going out in the backyard for some fresh air then we're coming right back in to finish what's left of our homework. We'll probably be finished by 10 but I'd still like for Jason to stay until 11. Is it okay if he stays?"
Nancy's eyebrows rose,
"You're almost done? Already? Chloe sweetheart I'm amazed! I saw your homework load and figured I'd have to interrupt you to send Jason home and tell you to go to sleep. How on earth did you get so much work done?"
Chloe beamed and shrugged,
"Jason and I work well together. Okay that and the potential for spending time together if we got done early may have been a factor as well!"
Nancy gave Chloe a knowing smile,
"I see. Well, in that case Jason may stay until 11."
Chloe leaned down and hugged her mom,
"Great! Thanks Mom!"
Nancy smiled and returned to her book, as Chloe and Jason left the room and went out to the backyard. Jason's hand tingled in Chloe's as they strolled over to the tree he had jumped out of the night before. They stopped at the same time and turned to each other with smiles. Without speaking she moved into his embrace and lifted her face for his kiss. Knowing they didn't have much time to get too involved, it was a very sweet affectionate kiss and it was exactly what they both wanted.

Their kiss ended slowly and Chloe lay her face against his chest as she tightened her arms around his waist. His arms were around her back comfortably snug and they both sighed contentedly while looking up at the night sky. They stood like that for just a few minutes before Jason got her attention again,
"Hey. My brain feels a lot less frazzled being out here with you like this."
She smiled,
"Good. I had hoped the fresh air would help us both! Just a half hour or so left of homework and then we get to just spend time together. So when we are done is there something in particular you want us to do?"
He grinned slyly,
"You mean other than play tonsil hockey with my girlfriend? Yeah. Course. Lots of things I want us to do ... ok well one thing I want you to do for me first of all. Chloe! I see that look! No, that isn't what I meant! I meant a massage! I want that shoulder massage you started to give me earlier to continue. Will you? Will you give me a massage when our homework is finished?"
Chloe laughed up at him and leaned in for kisses between speaking,
"Well I would have suggested it myself actually if you didn't just beat me to it! So yes Jason I will give you a massage when our homework is done!"
His wide grin made her giggle. He nuzzled her neck and spoke quietly against her ear,
"And the tonsil hockey?"
She pulled back and gave him a coy smile,
"I'm counting on it!"
He chuckled and pulled her into a hard quick hug,
"Well, with incentives like that I'm ready to get back to work! Let's go do this so we can get to the good stuff!"
She nodded and led him by the hand back into the house.

Jason looked at the clock as Chloe repacked his schoolbag and he smiled,
"Hey Dreamgirl? It's only 9:58- you miscalculated!"
Chloe looked up ready to argue and chuckled instead when she saw his smile,
"Is that a complaint Masters?"
He bit his bottom lip still smiling, gently took his book bag out of her hands, dropped it and put his mouth to her ear,
"Not even a hint of one. Thank-you for helping me out tonight. So how about that back massage?"
She pulled back and placed her hands on his strong shoulders. She smiled into his eyes and was pleased at his sudden deep breath,
"You're welcome, Jason. We'll get to the back massage in bit- I believe we have a tonsil hockey date and that takes priorit-"
She giggled against his mouth as he ate up her final word. His kiss soon overtook her senses. She moaned and pressed in closer to him accepting his tongue eagerly and offering hers mindlessly. His hands made their way into her hair and hers made their way under his shirt onto his bare back. He groaned and pulled away,
"Your rules Chloe. No going under the clothes remember?"
She colored slightly,
"You're right Jason, I'm sorry I ..."
He placed a gentle finger against her lip,
"Shhh. Don't be sorry. No harm done. We stopped in time. Come here."
He pulled her back into his arms and held tightly as he tried to regain something close to normal breathing. Chloe snuggled into his embrace and smiled as she felt him kiss the side of her head. She gave him a sudden squeeze marvelling at how wonderfully solid his body was. She lifted her head and gazed up at him,
"Jason? When I give you your massage will you take off your shirt? Otherwise I'll have to reach under your shirt and that's against the rules!"
He chuckled,
"Damn! No fair! Wish I could logic YOUR shirt off of you that easily! Yeah, Dreamgirl I'll take my shirt off for my massage."
Chloe smiled and whispered,
"It's not like you've never gotten me to take off my clothes. You do still have that little memento from our date, don't you?"
He chuckled,
"Yup! Right under my pillow! My dream inducer! Oh! Memento! That reminds me, I brought you something!"
Chloe gave him an uncertain smile,
"No offense Jason but I don't need a pair of your-"
He smirked a glare at her,
"Very funny Lane! Not that! The tape of the opera concert!"
Chloe giggled,
"Oh, okay! Good! That I DO want! Thanks Jason."
She kissed his cheek as she accepted the tape. He lifted her chin and kissed her softly on the mouth. He winked and smiled,
"You're welcome. May I have that massage now?"
She nodded and snuck in one more quick kiss,
"Shirt off, shoes off and lay on the bed please."
His eyes twinkled with a thousand unsaid thoughts and she understood them all. She laughed and pointed to the bed. He laughed and sat down on the edge of it. He yanked his shirt off over his head, toed his shoes off and lay down on his back. He made motions with the fingers of both hands for her to advance toward him. Her eyebrows rose, she laughed, shook her head and crossed her arms. He shrugged and gave her a mock innocent look. She motioned for him to roll over onto his stomach. He heaved a big sigh, rolled his eyes and obliged,
"Can't blame a guy for trying!"
She laughed and sat beside him. She reached for his shoulders and gasped,
"I didn't know you had a tattoo!"
He peered over his left shoulder,
"Oh yeah. That. I barely remember getting it done. I forget it's there myself sometimes. Does it bother you?"
She frowned puzzled,
"Why would it? I think it's beautiful!"
He smiled,
"Okay. Turns some people off is all."
She leaned over and kissed the dragon,
"Nothing about you turns me off, Jason."
He grinned at that,
"Back at you Dreamgirl! Now about that ever elusive massage, time's a wasting!"
She laughed and put her hands on his skin. She pressed her fingers against the muscles and sought out the knots. Jason winced a few times but didn't stop her. Even after she determined she'd loosened all the knots she continued for another ten minutes. Jason was pulled from a state of drowsiness,
"Can I stop now? Feel better yet, Jason?"
He blinked at her over his shoulder,
"What? Huh? Oh. Yeah, of course. Feels much better, thanks babe. Is it time for me to go home already?"
She lightly stroked his back as she shook her head,
"No. I get to keep you for another twenty minutes yet. Here put your shirt back on and scooch over."
Jason rolled over, sat up, yanked his shirt back on and made extra room for Chloe on the bed. She snuggled down beside him and into him. They both closed their eyes smiling. Jason absentmindedly rubbed her back and shoulder,
"So are we still on for Friday night with Belle and Shawn, then?"
He felt her nod her head against his shoulder,
"Mmhmmm."
Jason's hand gradually stopped rubbing her back and was still. Chloe's breathing deepened.
***
At 11pm Nancy called up the stairs,
"Chloe sweetheart, it's time for Jason to go home now."
She waited for a response. Silence continued to greet her as she trudged up the stairs.~There better not be any funny business going on up there or so help ... awwww!~
Nancy stood in the doorway and took in the sight of Chloe and Jason snuggled up, asleep together. She nearly giggled when she realised they were taking turns snoring. She tiptoed over to Chloe's computer and grabbed the digital camera. She took just one picture. She walked over to Chloe and reached out a hand to wake her. Her hand instead picked up the video cassette on the night table. She read the label~Pavarotti Live in Concert! To my Dreamgirl A memento of our first date, from Jason 'The Scrabble Champ' LOL XOXO :)~
Nancy looked at the kids again and smiled. She put the tape down, glanced at the notepad on the nightstand and quietly left the room. She picked up the phone and dialled,
"Hello? Mr. Masters? Good evening, this is Mrs. Wesley, Chloe's mom? I'm sorry to be calling so late but I wanted to know if Jason could spend the night. They worked very hard on their homework this evening and finished early and when I went to tell them it was time for him to go home they were both fast asleep. Oh no no funny business going on at all! Yes he did, he worked very hard. Doesn't he? Well, perhaps that will improve with a little help from my Chloe. I myself was amazed at the sheer volume of work they accomplished together! What? Oh of course! So you're fine with him staying then? Okay I'll tell him first thing in the morning. Yes you have yourself a good night too!"
Nancy hung up the phone and went to the linen closet. She took what she wanted and went back into Chloe's room. She gently tucked a coverlet around her daughter and then tucked a second one around Jason. She scribbled a note to them both, shut the light and left the room. Chloe frowned in her sleep and shrugged off the coverlet as she rolled onto her side away from Jason. Jason frowned in his sleep, rolled onto his side toward Chloe's back, spooning her and stretched his arm out across her clutching the edge of his coverlet effectively covering them both. Chloe's coverlet fell soundlessly to the floor and she squirmed back against Jason's warm body. His arm around her tightened and pulled her even closer. He mumbled against her hair,
"Chloe ..."
She smiled in her sleep, and sighed contentedly,
"Jason ..."
They were still and quiet for the rest of the night.

Chapter 31
by Fidomom

Chloe knew something was different even before she opened her eyes. She stretched, testing out her suspicions. They were confirmed. Jason had spent the night. She opened one eye and peeked over her shoulder at him. She smiled softly at the sight of his tousled hair and the shadow of his lashes against his cheeks in the early morning light. Smiling wider she faced forward again and snuggled under the arm he still had draped across her. She glanced at her alarm clock and was relieved it wouldn't ring for another thirty-seven minutes. She noticed the note and she was curious but she didn't want to chance waking Jason. Chloe stilled and had to stifle a delighted giggle when she heard Jason mumble her name. Suddenly she was suspicious that perhaps he wasn't really asleep. She looked over her shoulder and tried to detect signs of wakefulness,
"Jason? Are you awake?"
In answer he snuggled closer,
"Ssshh! Don't wake me up yet, I'm having a really good dream."
She laughed softly,
"About me?"
His arm around her tightened,
"Yeah. Best one ever. It feels so real."
Chloe grinned to herself,
"Jason open your eyes."
"No. I'm busy. I'm sleeping."
She giggled and elbowed him lightly in the ribs,
"No you're not! And you aren't dreaming either! Let me turn over."
Jason sighed in defeat, lifted his arm off of her and rolled onto his back, with his hands under his head. Chloe rolled over towards him onto her tummy. She slung one arm across his middle. She bent her arm, placed her hands over his heart and rested her chin on them. Her other elbow was supported by her pillow. She looked at Jason with his eyes still stubbornly closed. She grinned and turned her face to one side to blow softly across his cheek into his ear. Jason shivered a little and a half smile lifted one corner of his mouth,
"No fair."
She rocked them both slightly,
"Come on Jason open your eyes, please?"
He opened one eye to look at her and tried not to smile,
"What?"
She lurched forward and kissed his lips lightly,
"This. Good morning Jason."
His hands came out from behind his head and he wrapped his arms around her. He craned his neck forward awkwardly to kiss her too,
"Morning Dreamgirl. Question. Why am I still here? Are we in trouble do you think?"
Chloe winked at him,
"That's two questions and I think we might know what's going on if we actually read the note!"
He raised his eyebrows,
"Note? There's a note? Where? Who from?"
Chloe leaned back toward her nightstand and plucked the note off of her alarm clock. She frowned upon realising that her alarm would sound in just twenty-three more minutes.
She turned back to Jason and re-adjusted herself so that she lay on her back shoulder to shoulder with him. Their heads were tilted towards each other and touching.
They each held an edge of the note and read it together.

Good Morning Sweetheart,

You and Jason studied very hard last night. For that reason when I saw that the two of you had fallen asleep I called Jason's dad. Once I explained the situation we agreed to let Jason spend the night. Please provide Jason with towels for his shower in the morning. Chloe eat breakfast before you go to school. That's an order!

Love,
Mom XOXO

Oh, what the heck I was going to leave a separate note for Jason but knowing you kids you'll just read each other's notes anyway and why waste paper right? So ...

Good morning Jason dear,

Your dad seemed really pleased about the effort you put into your homework last night. He wanted me to let you know that he'd have your mom drop off a change of clothes and your toothbrush to you on her way to work in the morning. If you need to shave, Chloe can show you where to find her father's shaving stuff. Be sure to help yourself to breakfast before you go to school.

Sincerely,
Mrs.Wesley

P.S.

Please be advised that this spending the night business will not become a regular habit. Have a great day kids!:)

Jason and Chloe looked at each other and after a moment of no reaction they laughed together quietly. Jason put the note aside and helped Chloe lay on her tummy almost on top of him,
"Is she always like that?"
Chloe grinned into his dancing green eyes, kissed him once and nodded her head,
"Pretty much!"
He stole another slower kiss and then smiled back at her,
"I'll consider myself warned. So should we get up now?"
Chloe looked over at the clock and smiled. She turned back to Jason and shook her head,
"No thanks. I'm busy snuggling with my gorgeous boyfriend and we still have nine minutes left before the alarm rings!"
Jason beamed at the compliment,
"Nine minutes huh? I could learn to love morning in that amount of time!"
She nodded emphatically and started giving him soft kisses between words,
"My sentiments exactly! So can I watch, later?"
Jason frowned in puzzlement,
"Watch what later?"
She gave him an amused yet exasperated look,
"You shave of course! What did you think I meant?"
Jason rubbed his nose against hers,
"It's probably better I not share what crossed my mind. I'm not supposed to tempt you, remember? My job is to play the heavy. As for what you actually meant- what makes you think I even need to shave?"
Chloe drifted a forefinger along his jawline and lifted her eyebrows at him,
"Kinda prickly."
He chuckled,
"Fine. I'll shave and yes you can watch. Okay?"
In answer, Chloe leaned in closer to him and gave him a deep kiss. She pulled back and smiled at him,
"Jason? I think I like sleeping with you."
He grinned and kissed her,
"Chloe? I know I definitely like waking up to you."
She laughed lightly and leaned in for another kiss. Just before their lips could touch the alarm clock sounded. They both groaned aloud. Chloe turned to look at the alarm in perturbance and she reached over to turn it off. Jason started to move as though to get up but Chloe stopped him. He gave her a bewildered look. She laughed,
"I just want what the alarm clock interrupted."
He smiled a half-smile,
"Oh. No problem. C'mere."
He kissed her slowly and thoroughly. He lifted his mouth from hers,
"Good morning, Dreamgirl!"
Chloe's eyes sparkled with pleasure,
"Definitely! Come on Jason I'll show you where the towels are. You can shower first. While you're in the shower, I'll go find the things your mom dropped off for you. I'll put them outside the bathroom door and knock to let you know I have. Then I'll go make us some breakfast. Oatmeal okay with you? Don't forget that I want to watch, okay?"
Jason chuckled as he followed her to the linen closet and she handed him some towels,
"Okay that pretty much tells me what I'm doing this morning, now what about you? When will you shower?"
She shrugged,
"While you're eating breakfast. Now go Jason! We'll be in trouble if we're late for school. We're already on thin ice with our parents and teachers."
He put one arm around her shoulders, squeezed her, then kissed the side of her head,
"Okay. Thanks Chloe. See you in a bit."
She nodded, smiled, and mock saluted him,
"Right!"
He smiled back and went into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind himself.
Chloe was smiling and humming cheerily as she headed downstairs to find what Jason's mother had brought for him.

Chapter 32 (R)
by Fidomom

As Chloe stepped off the last step, her eyes scanned for and immediately spotted the bag Jason's mother had dropped off for him. She quickly grabbed the small black gym bag and headed back up the stairs to give it to Jason. She could hear the shower running as she stood outside the door trying to hang the bag

handles on the doorknob; it wasn't working out so well and the third time the handles slid off, Chloe heaved a sigh of exasperation and rapped firmly on the door,
"JASON?"
She waited but he didn't answer. ~Hmmm. He must not have heard me. I wonder if ... oh good!~ she smiled with relief that he hadn't locked the bathroom door. She opened the door just wide enough for the bag to fit through with the intention of just quickly placing it on the bathroom counter and going to make breakfast. She didn't count on getting a glimpse of her boyfriend's beautiful nude backside through the mirror over the sink and vanity. She was rooted to the spot and couldn't take her eyes off of him. He had

one foot in the shower and he suddenly paused,
"You're welcome to join me Dreamgirl but close the door would ya? You're letting a draft in!"
Chloe blushed with guilty pleasure noting the smirk in his voice,
"Thought you were playing the heavy? Tempting offer but no I gotta go make our breakfast, just wanted to give you the stuff your Mom dropped off for you."
Grinning wickedly Jason glanced over his shoulder into his girlfriend's eyes in the mirror,
"Being naked in front of my girlfriend kinda made me forget my role. Thanks for bringing me my stuff. Do you think I could actually have my shower now or did you not get a good enough look at my ass yet? I mean if you need more time ..."
Chloe gasped and let out a laugh interrupting him,
"Jason! Take your shower already! I'm going to make breakfast."
He winked at her through the mirror and stepped the rest of the way into the shower. Chloe lingered on admiring the view in the mirror until Jason startled her,
"In or out Chloe but close the door, it's getting cold in here!"
Chloe drew in a sharp breath at being caught spying yet again and quickly pulled the door shut. Smiling to herself she headed back downstairs to the kitchen.

She had just turned the oatmeal off when she heard Jason call from upstairs,
"HEY DREAMGIRL?! YOU STILL WANNA WATCH?!"
Chloe grinned and raced up the stairs. When she reached the bathroom Jason was standing at the vanity watching the door expectantly. Her heart did a little pause then jack hammer as she took in his still wet skin interrupted by a little white towel secured low on his hips. He couldn't help notice the way she was

looking at him and he gave in to what they both wanted. He pulled her suddenly by her hand into his arms and covered her mouth with his own in a deep hungry kiss. Chloe let out a little moan of relief and slowly slid her hands up the wet skin of his biceps, over his shoulders and around the back of his neck. She pressed in as close as she could oblivious to the fact he was getting her shirt wet. His hands found their way into her hair close to the nape of her neck and he gripped a fistful in each hand, holding her still as he

ravaged her eager mouth. They both stilled at the same time as a certain part of his body showed interest in what they were doing. Jason groaned and dragged his mouth away from hers. He pulled her closer and nuzzled her neck with his eyes closed, breathing raggedly, inhaling her scent,
"Shit! Sorry babe, I got a little carried away. I'll get it together."
Chloe tightened her arms around him smiling,
"It's okay Jason, I got a little carried away too."
Jason sighed resolutely then slowly, but firmly pulled out of their embrace. He looked her in the eye. With a wink and a grin he said,
"So it's prickly huh?"
Chloe's smile widened and she laughed lightly,
" A little yes!"
He laughed,
"So you still want to watch me shave or what?"
She nodded slowly,
"Yep. I still do. Can I put the foam on your face?"
Suddenly she found herself being lifted with his hands on her ass and he sat her on the counter top. Standing between her parted knees he handed her the cannister of shaving foam and gripped the outside of her thighs close to her knees. His brow rose appreciatively at the view directly in front of his eyes as she shook the can. Her pale yellow T-shirt was a bit see through where it had gotten wet during their kiss. The shirt was snug across her breasts; her nipples clearly defined and still hardened with arousal. Chloe

gasped as his thumbs lightly stroked her nipples through her shirt and bra. Jason seemed mesmerised as he spoke softly,
"Nice. I like that."
He snapped back to the present, returning his hands to her thighs and looked at Chloe with a sheepish grin,
"Okay Dreamgirl, lay it on me baby!"
Chloe built a mountain of aloe and pine scented shave foam in the palm of her hand and put the can down. With her free hand she grabbed the washcloth from the towelbar, turned on the tap beside her, wet the cloth, squeezed it out some and wet Jason's face with it. She was somewhat distracted watching the water droplets drip from his chin, splash onto his bare chest and slowly trickle down towards the towel at his hips, but she still managed to remember to smear the foam over the prickly parts on his face. She wiped her hands on the wet washcloth and handed him a disposable razor. Grinning he took it and moved from between her legs to stand more directly in front of the sink. Jason wet the razor under the tap and leaned

over closer to the mirror with his chin tilted up and out. Beginning at a point just above his Adam's apple, he drew the razor through the foam leaving baby smooth skin in it's wake. He continued shaving the area under his chin, rinsing the razor under the tap periodically. When he had that finished he winked at Chloe,
"Pay attention now, I'm gonna shave the left side of my face and you are gonna do the other side!"
Chloe's eyes widened,
"Me? Oh no Jason, I can't! What if I cut you? What if I do it wrong?"
He grinned at her reassuringly,
"Nahh these disposable things can't do any real damage. If you nick me you nick me; I'm not worried about it. You can do it; I trust you. Just watch how I do this side and do the same thing on the other side, okay?"
Chloe's brows rose skeptically and she let out a long sigh,
"Okay, I'll do it Jason but I'll never forgive you if I hurt you!"
Jason laughed at her choice of words,
"I believe you too! You won't hurt me promise."
Chloe paid rapt close attention as he shaved the left side of his face until there was only the odd speckle of foam left on his face. He rinsed the washcloth and wiped the remnant foam from the newly shaved skin.

He examined his handiwork looking for strays he might have missed and finding none he straightened up, turned slightly toward Chloe and handed the razor off to her. She took it in her left hand and tentatively put it to his face. Before she could make the first stroke he grabbed her wrist firmly but gently,
"Press a bit harder or you won't get me shaved close enough."
She nodded and he let go her wrist. She increased the pressure against his face slowly,
"Tell me when, Jason."
He stilled her hand again,
"Right there. Perfect."
She smiled pleased with herself and drew the razor through the foam in a steady slow stroke. She rinsed the razor and proceeded to shave the rest of the right side of his face. When she was done she reached for the cloth but he stopped her,
"Wait a sec I think you missed a spot. See right there?"
Chloe frowned bemusedly,
"Jason that's hardly even a speckle of foam!"
He nodded,
"I know I know it's just there's this one hair in that area that I always miss I think it's right about there. Please?"
Still skeptical and feeling confident in her new found skill she put the razor to his face and drew it across his skin. He let out a yell and jumped away holding his hand to his face,
"Ow!! Fuck! Fuck that hurt!"
Filled with remorse Chloe reached for him,
"Oh Jason I'm so sorry! Oh my God are you okay? I knew it was a bad idea to let you talk me into this! Come on Jason let me see, please? Is it bleeding a lot? Do you need stitches?"
Jason dropped his hand from his face,
"I don't know. You tell me. Is it bleeding a lot? Do you think I'll need stitches?"
Chloe looked at his cheek in bafflement,
"I don't see anything. I don't see any blood at all."
He laughed, nodding his head his eyes twinkling with pride,
"I know. Psyche."
Chloe looked at him still bewildered,
"What do you mean psy .... JASON MASTERS! ARRRGHHH!!"
She grabbed the wet washcloth, balled it up and threw it at his head. He didn't anticipate her intention fast enough and it made contact against his jaw with a loud wet smack sound. It fell from his jaw, landed on his shoulder where it stayed until he grabbed it and wiped the last bits of foam off his face still laughing at his own clever dupe. Chloe was glaring at him clearly not as amused as he was,
"How could you do that? You knew I was worried about cutting you! That was really mean and ..."
Jason's eyes glazed as he filtered out her shouting and fixated his eyes on her mouth as she continued to berate him. He closed the short distance between them and kissed her still ranting mouth. She tried to pull away at first but gave up that idea when he nibbled her bottom lip. Her arms slid around his neck and she kissed him back passionately. He finally lifted his mouth from hers and whispered raggedly,
"Definitely meant for kissing."
She opened her mouth to get back to reprimanding him but he kissed her mouth hard startling her silent then he pulled back. Leaning his forehead against hers he looked into her eyes,
"I know. I shouldn't have done that. I just wanted to show you how silly you were being even thinking you would hurt me. I'm sorry. Forgive me?"
She scowled,
"It was really mean."
He smiled sheepishly,
"It was really mean. Forgive me?"
She struggled to maintain her scowl,
"I really thought I'd hurt you. It wasn't funny."
He nodded giving her his best puppy dog eyes,
"It wasn't funny. Forgive me?"
She fought a grin,
"I don't forgive easily."
He pouted,
"Please? Hey, I know! If you forgive me you and I will plan a prank together to pull on someone else; anyone of your choosing! What do you say? Now will you forgive me?"
Jason saw the gleam of interest in her eye and felt triumphant even before she spoke,
"Anyone?"
He grinned and nodded,
"Anyone at all."
She chewed her lower lip fighting an out and out grin as she looked into Jason's eyes and stroked his smooth face with both hands,
"Nice. Pricklies are all gone. Okay I forgive you."
He pulled her close and kissed her quickly,
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist that deal! So who are we gonna make chump change of?"
She kissed her fingertip and put the kiss against his lips with a wink and a grin,
"That is something we'll have to talk about later. Get dressed and go eat your breakfast. Oatmeal is on the back of the stove. Bowls, spoons and brown sugar are on the table. Coffee is ready and milk is in the

refrigerator. Now scram so I can take my shower!"
Jason's jaw dropped open in mock offense,
"You mean I don't get to watch you shower but it was okay for you to be a peeping Tom ... asina?"
Chloe grinned and winked,
"That is correct. My house, my rules! Now go Jason please! We're running behind as it is!"
He gave her a perturbed but still amused look,
"You know something? You're awfully bossy!"
He saw her reach for the washcloth and scrammed out of the washroom. Chloe was about to close the door when she saw his hand snake back in to grab his gym bag. She laughed and shut the door- double checking it to make certain it was locked. Not that she would have actually minded him peeking in they just didn't have time for anymore distractions this morning. As Chloe turned the shower back on she wondered what if anything would be said when her and Jason showed up at school together. As she stood

under the reviving spray to wet her hair she smiled and shrugged deciding it didn't matter to her one way or another.
