Chapter Four
The Next Morning Jareth woke to the smell of food cooking and a radio playing and Sarah singing along. She wasn’t that great of a singer, but she wasn’t bad. He could hear her clattering around in the kitchen with dishes. He smiled and lied there, looking up at the ceiling. The door creaked and he turned his head. Brandy the dog stood in the doorway, wagging her tail. He smiled at her and patted the bed. The dog ran and pounced on the bed, making him moan in pain from the jump. Brandy started to lick his face happily. Jareth groaned and tried to push her away. Then he heard giggling. Brandy must’ve heard it, too, because she stopped licking him and looked at the door. Sarah stood in the doorway with two plates in her hands. “Get down, Brandy,” she commanded. The dog jumped off the bed and ran into the living room. Sarah put the plates down on the desk then gently helped Jareth sit up and made sure he was comfortable. She grabbed a tray and put it over his lap then put his plate on top of it with a glass of juice. “I hope you like bacon and eggs,” she said. “Yes, I do,” he said. He took a bite and watched her bring a chair over to the bed. She grabbed her own plate and sat down, holding it in her hand. "This is really good - maybe I should have you cook for me.” “I’m not that great of a cook - I can only make easy things,” she replied. They ate their breakfast in silence, both not knowing what to talk about. After their plates were clean, Sarah removed the tray and took their dishes to the kitchen. “Is there anything you need? A book? Do you want to watch TV?” she asked curiously. Jareth mumbled something. “What?” she asked. She noticed Jareth’s face had a slight tinge of pink - she'd never seen him blush before - and waited patiently for him to repeat what he said. “I said I need help to the bathroom,” he told her softly, embarrassed. “Oh.” She walked to the bed and grabbed his legs, helping him swing them down to the floor. Then she grabbed his arm to wrap around her neck and helped him to the bathroom. Once he was in the bathroom and seemed to be able to stand okay, she turned to walk away. “Aren’t you going to help me?” Sarah turned around. “That is where I draw the line. I helped you by taking care of you and I walked you to the bathroom, but helping you pee? No, thanks! You’re on your own with that one!” “Relax, Sarah, I was kidding,” he told her with laughter in his voice. She was relieved. “Why do you flirt with me so much?” she wondered. “Well, I haven’t seen a woman in ten years - you being the last. I thought of only you so I flirt with you to make up for the ten years I missed,” he says as he turned his head away from her. Sarah’s face turned pink. “Oh, well, I will leave you to pee.” She walked out, closing the door behind her. She pacied the room until she heard a male voice yell her name. “Oh, shit,” she mumbled under her breath, knowing exactly who it was. The guy walked into the room. “Sarah, I have been calling your name,” he told her. Sarah sighed deeply. “Kyle, why are you here?” “You haven’t returned my calls,” he told her. “There is a reason for that,” she told him. At that moment, the toilet flushed. Kyle stared at the closed bathroom door, his face full of jealousy. “Who’s in there, huh?” “Kyle, it is none of your business,” Sarah said. The door opened and Jareth stood in the doorway. Kyle stared at him. “Is this why you broke up with me?” “No,” Sarah said, her voice shaking with fear. Jareth didn’t like the way the guy made Sarah afraid and he watched in case he was needed. Kyle stalked up to her, angry. “He is not the reason you dumped me?” Sarah didn’t say anything, merely shaking her head. Kyle got even more angry and slapped Sarah so hard she lost her balance and fell on the floor, holding her cheek. She looked up at him. “That is why I broke up with you,” she said. Jareth walked up to Kyle. “I think you should leave.” Kyle looked at Jareth angrily. “You do, do you? If Sarah wants me to leave, then she can tell me herself.” Sarah stood up, facing Kyle. “I want you to leave." “I came to get my stuff,” he told her. “Fine, then leave,” she told him. Kyle walked out of the room and down the hall to her room. Sarah walked over to Jareth and helped him to the bed. He sat on the edge and looked up at ger sadly. When he saw the red outline of a hand on her cheek, he ran his fingers gently over it. She turned her head from him and helped him put his legs on the bed and sit up then put the blankets over him. Then she gently pulled off his bandages. He hissed as the bandage came off. When it was all off, she ran her fingers over his ribs gently. He breathed in deeply and she stopped. “Did I hurt you?” she asked. “No,” he said. She grabbed the tube of cream from the night table and rubbed it over his cuts and his ribs then put it away. She bandaged him up tightly. “It looks like it’s healing, but I will let Julie know you're awake so she can come over and check,” she told him. Unknown to them, Kyle was watching from the doorway. “I knew you two were more than friends! I can see it in the way you look at each other!” “We are friends - nothing more,” Sarah defended. “So how did he bruise his ribs? Did you wrap your legs around him too tightly as he was pounding into you?" He turned his gaze to Jareth. "She almost did that to me a couple of times.” Sarah turned her head away in shame. “You’re a bastard,” she mumbled under her breath. “What did you say, Sarah? I can’t hear you,” he said, cupping his hand around his ear. Sarah looked up at him defiantly. “I called you a bastard.” Kyle raised his hand to hit her, but Jareth quickly got out of bed, ignoring the pain. Before Kyle could hit her, Sarah grabbed his hand in hers tightly. He screamed from the pain. Jareth stood watching in pain and amazement. He knew right then that she did have his magic. Sarah let go of Kyle’s hand. “Don’t ever touch me again or talk like to me again. We are through! Now get out of my house!” Kyle looked down at his hand and just nodded then quickly left. Sarah turned and looked at Jareth. “How did I do that?” “You have my magic,” he told her. Sarah noticed he was wobbling and quickly helped him back in bed. She sat on the edge next to him, brushing the hair out of his face "Are you okay?” she asked. "Yes, I am fine. How are you?” he asked. “I’m fine,” she said. They were looking in each other’s eyes, each lost in the others'. They moved closer, but before their lips could meet - only inches apart - they heard giggling. Sarah turned her head and smiled, seeing her brother Toby standing there. “Hello, Toby.” Toby waved to her then looked at the bed. “Is that your boyfriend?” he teased. Sarah stood up. “No, he’s a friend.” She looked at Toby. “Where are Dad and Karen?” “They are getting my stuff out of the car,” he told her. “Toby, you are only staying for the weekend,” she told him. “I know, but I get bored easily,” he replied. Jareth laughed from behind them and Toby looked around Sarah to look at Jareth. “Who is he?” he asked his sister. “That’s Jareth - he's a friend,” Sarah told him. Toby walked up to Jareth and looked at him. “He looks familiar, but I can’t place him.” They heard the door open and Toby ran to meet his parents, forgetting about Jareth. Sarah followed out behind him and joined them in the living room. “Sarah has a boy in the bedroom,” Toby told his parents, pointing. Sarah’s parents looked at her. “it’s not what you think - a friend of mine got hurt and I am helping him. That’s it.” “Nuh-uh! You were ready to kiss him,” Toby said. Her parents looked at her again she blushed. “No, I wasn’t, Toby.” “Whatever,” Toby said, plopping down on the couch and turning the TV on. “Maybe I shouldn’t let you stay here,” Sarah said to the back of his head. “I really hope you are joking, Sarah. Your father and I haven’t been able to get away in a long time,” Karen told her. “Of course I am! Go have fun,” Sarah said. Karen smiled and hugged her and her father stood in front of her. “Now do I have to find out his intentions with you?” Robert asked. “No, Dad, we are just friends,” she told him. He hugged her and followed Karen out the door, closing the door behind him. Sarah locked the door behind them both. “How would you like some pizza?” Sarah asked Toby from behind him. Toby looked up at her with his nose scrunched up in disgust. “You’re not gonna make it, are you?” She slapped him playfully on the head. “Hey! My cooking is not that bad!” “No, but you burnt the pizza and it was gross,” he told her, smiling. “I was going to order it,” she replied. “Oh, that’s okay then,” he told her. Sarah laughed, going into the kitchen to order the pizza. Jareth sat up in bed, smiling at thir chatting. He turned the TV on and started watching it.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
