Chapter 1 -
Naughty Meets Nice
~ AN HOUR
LATER ~
“Stupid
piece of junk” Jet hissed pushing the buttons harshly on the
coke machine before her.
“You have
to kind of hit it here” Nick said walking up behind her
He smacked the
side of the machine and a can came tumbling out.
“Oh, well
thanks” Jet smiled picking the can up
“Nick”
he announced extending his hand
“Jet”
she replied taking his hand
Her small hand
vanished as his larger hand enveloped it. She stood just under
his shoulder, her large dark green eyes surrounded by black
eyeliner and silver eye shadow starred up at him curiously.
“Jet!”
a voice called from behind her
She dropped
Nick’s hand and spun around. Nick looked as well and quietly
studied the tall dark haired guy. He seemed a lot older, maybe 23
or something.
“We got
to go, I gather you need a ride home”
“Yeah I
do, Kat dropped me off, so I’ll need a ride back”
Jet turned to
Nick.
“Well
thanks for the coke” she smiled “See you around”
she added, not really thinking she ever would.
<I>Covert
</I>got the deal they’d been hoping for, the 2 years
of slaving over the furnace had finally paid off.
~ 10 MINUTES
LATER ~
“Jet”
Nick sighed as the name rolled off his tongue with ease
“Hello?
Nick? You alive?” Brian laughed waving his hand in front of
his friends absent looking face
“Huh?
What?” Nick spluttered
“I said
we’re going”
“Oh
right, yeah okay”
They headed
down the passage way and out the doors, caps and sunglasses
hiding them from both the sun and any on-the-look-out fans.
“I don’t
believe this, you need to get a fucking new car that’s what”
Jet laughed stepping out of the smoking car
“It’s
alright, she just needs to cool down” Devin replied stroking
the cars roof lovingly
“You are
so screwing this piece of junk” Jet muttered under her
breath
“Oh watch
your mouth, she can hear you”
Jet rolled her
eyes in frustration.
“I must
be adopted” she mumbled as her brother kissed the roof panel
of his bet up piece of trash, he called a car.
“Hey, Jet
right?” Nick said almost running up to her
“Oh hey
Nick” she replied not nearly mimicking the excitement in his
voice.
“Having
some trouble?”
“Duh you
think?”
“Well I
could give you a ride if you want, my cars right there” he
said pointing over to the deep green jeep with the license plate
“4Kaos”.
“Oh well
I don’t generally accept rides from people I don’t know”
she said carelessly shrugging him off
“Oh”
Nick pouted “Lot’s of people know me” he stupidly
replied
She raised one
perfectly formed eyebrow.
‘You
idiot’ Nick chastised
“Well
that’s nice” she smiled
“Come on
baby please honey” Devin pleaded stroking the dash board
“On
seconds thoughts, you don’t mind?” Jet questioned
“Not at
all” Nick smiled
“Great”
she grabbed her tasseled bag and followed Nick over to the car.
~ 10 MINUTES
LATER ~
Despite Nick
carrying out a conversation in his own head, the drive moved
along in complete silence.
“So um,
where about’s do you live?” Nick questioned finally
breaking the prolonged silence
“Westman,
off Main in Tampa” she replied, studding the passing trees
with seeming interest
“That’s
near where I am”
“Oh cool”
“So how
old are you?”
“18”
“Same”
“Cool”
“Well
here’s my street” she announced as the car turned into
the road
He pulled to a
halt outside number 15.
“Well
thanks” she said hopping out of the car
She closed the
door and began to walk away.
“Jet?”
he called
She spun
around looking at him.
“Would
you um, maybe like to well maybe um – “
“If you’re
trying to ask me out” she said walking back up to the car
“Then I’ll see you at 7” she added with a smile
~ 7.00 PM THAT
NIGHT ~
Nick breathed
heavily as he approached the front door. He could hear an
electric guitar blaring behind the walls, and the occasional
banging of the drums. He nervously fluffed with his sun kissed
hair, and tugged on his leather jacket. He reached out his finger
and pushed the door bell. He instantly felt the wanting desire to
run away, but stood his ground. The door flung open and the same
guy he’d seen at the car park stood before him, a burning
cigarette in his hands.
“Is Jet
here?” Nick quietly questioned as another guy joined the
doorway, and open beer in his hands
“JET”
he called down the hallway
“Show him
down” came the call back
Devin nodded
Nick inside, and pointed down the hall.
“Second
on the right” he added closing the door behind him
Nick slowly
strolled down the hall he passed the first door complete with a
radioactive warning sign on it. He walked up to the second door
and knocked.
“Come in”
a voice replied through the door.
Nick pulled
down on the handle opening the door. He stepped in then froze as
Jet stood in front of him in a bra.
“What you’ve
never seen one of these before?” she smiled walking up to
him.
He backed up
banging against the dresser, and shrugged completely speechless.
She reached her arm through his and grabbed the top from behind
him. She backed away smiling then flicked it over her head, then
pulled her pure black hair out from the Asian printed mesh top.
“We can
go now” she smiled picking up her bag.
“Oh um,
yeah okay” Nick stuttered following her out the door
The way she
walked was exquisite, her hips swaying from one leg to the other.
She wasn’t particularly tall, but the tight velvet-like
pants she was wearing drew his eyes up and down the length of her
legs.
“Bye”
she called walking out the front door
There were a
few mumbles from the lounge.
~ AN HOUR
LATER ~
“So is
there a reason why we had to come in late to this movie?”
Jet inquired sipping away at her drink
“It’s
just, well – you don’t know who I am?” Nick asked
“You’re
Nick, big deal” she laughed
“Do you
know what I do for a living?”
“Clean
toilets”
“Jet
seriously”
“No, I
don’t”
“I'm in a
band, a boy band, and sometimes some people get a little excited”
“Nick
your blushing”
“How can
you tell that it’s dark in here”
“Women’s
intuition”
The lady in
the row in front turned around and glared.
“Sssshhhh”
she hissed
Nick’s
jaw locked tight.
“Let’s
piss this lady off by making out” she whispered cracking a
quiet laugh
“What?”
Nick whispered back
“It’ll
be funny”
“I don’t
know –“
The women
turned around again.
“Do you
mind?” she spat
“Not at
all” Jet said climbing onto Nicks lap
She planted
her lips onto his making an obviously faked groaning sound. The
lady looked on disgusted, then turned her attention back to the
screen. Nick could feel her tongue slid around his mouth, tracing
every inch. His lips pushing the kiss in deeper as her body too
pushed hard against him. His hands sat motionless by his side,
frozen by the sensation as she sucked on his own tongue that
ventured into her mouth. Abruptly she pulled away.
“See told
you it would be fun” she laughed quietly into his ear
“Oh ah
yeah, funny, right”
~ AFTER THE
MOVIE ~
“The look
on her face was priceless, stupid hag” Jet laughed as the
two walked down the deserted ally.
“Jet, I
ah – um really enjoyed it” Nick said stopping
“Don’t
get soft on me Nick, it was a joke” she laughed
It suddenly
seemed to Nick that everything was a joke to Jet, but he felt
different, he felt something for her.
“Jet I
think I love you” he muttered studding his own feet
Jet burst out
laughing, the complete opposite reaction to what Nick was hoping
for.
“Come on,
don’t kid yourself Nick, you cant love me”
“Why?”
“Firstly
you don’t even know my last name do you? And secondly we are
way to different”
“You
never told me your last name, and why are we different?”
“Nick I
talk straight okay. You’re nice, I'm naughty, simple, we’re
just like two complete opposites. I mean you’re friends sing
pop songs and go to church, my friends sit in a circle smoking a
joint, bitching about one another and guzzling down whatever form
of alcohol they can lay their hands on, you following me?”
“So we
both need to find new friends”
“That’s
not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that you play by the
rules and I make my own, you’re too nice Nick, and you well
need a nice gal, not me, that’s not me. You’re nice,
and I'm naughty, we live on different sides of the tracks. We
could be friends, but nothing more”
“Friends
down stick their tongues in each others mouths”
“Okay
well see, that’s where we’re different, me and my mates
do that all the time” Jet laughed
Nick looked
unconvincingly at her. Then took a step forward. He leant down
his lips to meet hers. They glided across her bottom lip and up
to her top lip, his hands shot around holding her waist gently as
he pulled her closer, forcing the kiss to meld their lips
together in heated passion. At the height of it all he pulled
away leaving her mouth begging for more.
“I can be
naughty” he whispered
