Across The Stars

Chapter 12: Back to normal..."normal is vastly over-rated", an unexpected randomness (when is randomness expected?) and an unexpected surprise...and a couple unexpected interruptions.

 

~Sarah's P.o.V.~

I stirred awake, feeling air on my neck. I rolled over slightly, looking at the sleeping form of...Mayank. I smiled, at him, at his arms around me, at...everything. We were both asleep on the small couch in Kim's and Max's dorm. Meg was curled up in Online Jack's (yes, giggle, damn you Meg) arms on the other couch, both of them sitting up, Meg sort of sitting in Jack's lap. I glanced over to the two beds. They were small beds...but not small enough to stop Jonathon and Kim from laying together, their arms around each other, asleep. And definately not small enough to keep Jake away from Max. She was curled up, her back against his chest, their feet tangled together with his arms resting on her hips gently.

It was sweet, all of us, acting like it was normal...but we were comfortable. I kissed Mayank on the lips and he stirred awake, jumping up,"What time is it?" he asked, quietly, but in a bit of a sleepy panic. I smiled, pulling him back down,"Relax...we're not going to get caught...you don't have to leave me this time, you don't have to hide under a bed..." I whispered. He smiled back, holding my hands, kissing me on the lips.

"Sarah..." he said quietly a few moments later. My eyes were closed, my head on his shoulder with his arm around me, but I was still awake, barely, but still awake. "Yea..?" I asked. "I love you...you know that, right?" he said, looking down at me. I met his eyes and nodded,"Yea, I know...I love you too Mayank..." I said. He kissed me on the lips deeply and we both...seemed to fall back to sleep.

It was normal, but it wasn't.

According to Max,"Being normal is vastly over-rated..."

Now that held new meaning for me.

But I don't think...I, Meg, Max or Kim could ever be normal. We were just too...not normal. We were...comfortable.

And I liked it.

~a couple hours later...~

~Meg's P.o.V.~

I rolled off the couch first, bumping me head. "Fuck!" I yelled, half awake with stars in my eyes. "Urgh...that's my love, for sure..." Jack murmured. I would've grinned if my head wasn't FUCKING pounding. He rolled off the couch, on top of me, gently and easily. I groaned fakely. He kissed my lips,"Better?" he asked. "Hm, not sure..." I said, alright, now I was grinning. He grinned too, kissing me on the lips, nose, forehead and neck. I kissed back,"Now I'm better...maybe," I added at the end. He kissed me again, until we were just lying there, kissing with no care in the world.

"Do you guys have no care for the others in the room?" Kim asked, smirking. I broke mine and Jack's...make-out session and laughed lightly as Jack jumped off of me and helped me up. Everyone had started stirring awake somewhere around when I'd yelled out my profanity.

Sarah and Mayank...weren't...on the couch or anywhere in the dorm. Max was still curled asleep, soundly as Jake was silently untangling his feet from hers and stealthily rolling off of her bed. It was amusing to watch. Especially since Max...wasn't really asleep. She watched him with a smirk, one eye open as he...thumped onto the ground.

Kim stretched out, commenting on Jake's grace,"Smooth," she said, before kissing Jon awake in a way. He kissed back and they went into their own little...world. I went to Jack as he dug around the mini fridge. I wrapped my arms around him, poking my head over his shoulder,"Find anything good in there?" I asked. He smiled, kissing me on the cheek,"Um...leftover Spaghetti-O's?" He suggested, holding up a bowl of...Spaghetti-O's. "Eh, I prefer Zoodles," I said, sniffing at the leftovers. Kim snatched it from his hand,"Mine!" she said. Max snatched it from her in a half-awake kind of way,"Mine?" she asked. Jake pounced her, grabbing the Spaghetti-O's from Max's grip. "Mine...I'm starving," he said. Max pretended to pout and kissed him on the lips. While they were busy, Jon grabbed the Spaghetti-O's and tossed them to Kim,"Kim's," he decided, kissing her. She smirked and kissed back, both of them...backing onto the couch. Making out. Which gave Jack every right to grab the Spaghetti-O's and...swallow them. I perked a brow,"Gross, love," I pointed out. "You're right...Zoodles are still better..." he mumbled, smiling. "Canadians know their stuff?" I asked. "So true..we have the comedy, the hockey and..." he said. "And Tim Hortons!" I finished. He smiled and kissed me,"So true," he said again.

It took us five minutes...or seconds, to figure out, Kim and Max only had college foods. So we all decided to go to...McDonald's. Duh. I dug around for some extra clothes and took an attempt at using Kim's brush and Max's blow-dryer to straighten my hair a bit. I finally gave up and put it up in a pony tail, my bangs hanging in my face. I wore my extra-sexy and extremely low-cut as Max pointed out, black shirt with the skull and crossbones on it...and Jack's eyes widened until I fwapped him and kissed him to keep his jaw from dropping. So we were randomly headed off for McDonald's...

~Kim's P.o.V.~

I slipped on my awesome shirt that Max had made for me. It was red with black fishnet sleeves and had a safety-pinned patch across it that said,"I Suck At Life...but I'm wicked cool" on it, and came out of the bathroom...to find the empty dorm. Except Max, sitting on her bed.

She was putting on eyeliner around her eyes and managing to slip on her black slashed tank top, (complete with a zipper across the chest) while digging around for a belt. "Have you seen my striped socks..?" she asked absent-mindedly. I shrugged lightly,"Which ones?" I asked. "The...knee high black and white ones..." she said, still digging for a belt. I threw her linked handcuff belt at her and dug around in my drawer for her socks. I managed to find them as she finished up with her eyeliner and mascara and slipped on a black pleated skirt and hook her belt around her hips. I perked a brow,"Smexy?" I said, balling up the socks and throwing them at her. She caught them and slipped them on, lacing up her dressier military boots. "Thanks?" she asked. "No, really...going somewhere..?" I asked, smirking slightly. She blushed a bit, putting on some eyeshadow,"Jake and I...are going on a lunch date...so I decided to make myself look nice..." she mumbled, searching for her brush. I threw that across the room and she caught it all...skillfully. We were getting used to throwing things at each other. "Oh..." I mumbled, glancing at the door. "He's getting his clothes from his car..." she said, looking at me. I nodded and sat down,"Come here," I said.

She walked over and sat beside me. I took her brush and started brushing through her hair,"You really love him, eh?" I asked. "Yea...just like you love Jon..?" she replied. I smiled, blushing slightly, nodding,"Yea...now you know, I guess, heh," I said softly,"Just...be careful, hun, alright?" She turned to look at me,"What do you mean?" she asked. "Don't...settle down too quick and get yourself too deep..." I muttered. She flipped her hair over her shoulder, letting it dangle down her back, slipping a black, silver and white pinstriped hair band in it, never breaking her gaze,"You're too protective. I can take care of myself...and I won't get my heart broken," she said sternly, standing up. I stuttered to say something back at her...sudden...seriousness and Jake walked in, dressed casually but nicely. We all just...stood or sat in silence for a minute or so, the only sound was Max's fingers searching through bracelets and Jake shuffling his feet slightly. I coughed and stood up, giving Jake a stern look. He looked back at me confidently.

"Jake..." I began. "If you hurt my little sister in any way, you know I will kick your ass," both Jake and Max said together. "Told you," Max said to him, winking at me. "Cheater..." I muttered, smirking slightly. "Cheaters never lie and liars never cheat?" she offered randomly. "Random," I pointed out. "But...true?" she said, smirking as well. Jake cleared his throat. "Right then..." I said, giving Max a bit of a push, and putting on a fake deep voice,"You kids play nicely...Jake...have her back early." Max rolled her eyes,"Kim, shut up," she said, sticking out her tongue. "Yea, don't come back TOO early though, you know, because Jon and I..." I said until Jake grabbed Max's arm and they both ran out of the room. I shouted down the hallway after them,"JON AND I MIGHT FIX SPAGHETTI-O'S! AND YOU KNOW HOW WE LOVE TO HAVE OUR SPAGHETTI-O'S TO OURSELVES!" A chick poked her head out of her dorm room down the hall and glared at me. I smirked and took the elevator down to meet Jon and the others.

~a bit later...~

~Max's P.o.V.~

We got to the restaurant and Jake pulled out my chair for me, letting me sit down before taking his own seat across from me. I smiled, flipping my hair over my shoulder again, nudging his leg slightly, blushing. He turned bright red, picking up his menu and hiding his face behind it. I giggled softly, looking over my own menu.

It took a few minutes before I realized...the feeling I had that someone watching me was actually because Jake was carefully watching me. I smiled, perking a brow,"What..?" I asked, self-conciously brushing my hand across my face,"Do I have something on my face or something?" He smiled, shaking his head, reaching across the table for my hand,"No...you're perfect," he said. I blushed feirociously, lowering my gaze with a smile. He lifted my chin and kissed me. I blused, kissing back,"My angel..." I said, a smile spreading on my lips,"My crazy, perfect angel.." His face turned red now before saying,"So..." he sighed,"I've been worried and I want you to tell me how's everything been going...Kim hasn't said anything."

I went into a crazy explanation of what had been going on...what had been left out and what else was going on.

"...and..now, I still have to deal with telling my...family, if that's what you want to call them, that I'm living in a dorm with Kim and that...I'm with you..." I finished, sighing,"I don't know which will blow up in my face worse.." He had been pretty quiet the whole time and now he looked thoughtful, a small smile on his face. "What?" I asked, smiling slightly too,"What are you thinking, Jake..?" He leaned back in his chair, looking innocent,"Nothing..." he said, obviously lying, smiling at me. I shook my head at him lightly, meeting his eyes. "What..?" I asked again. "Maybe...by the time you tell her about me, at least...you won't have to worry because your future will be set," he said. I looked at him confused and met his gaze, then started laughing, realizing what he meant.

~a couple hours later...~

~Kim's P.o.V. again...cuz she's cool and gets two?~

I was laughing, fumbling to open the dorm door then noticed that it was a crack open. I perked a brow, my laughing stopping along with Meg's and Sarah's. Jack was beside Meg, his hand closed around hers. Mayank was close to Sarah and Jon was just behind me. He pushed open the door before I could.

I was ready to like...scream or yell profanities at anyone who'd busted into our dorm room but then noticed that...Jake and Max were curled up on her bed, both of them asleep. Max had changed into jeans and I could barely tell who's legs were who's because she had them tangled up with Jake's legs. She had her back to his chest, her head resting back. His left arm was wrapped around her waist, his thumb hooked around her belt loop, and his other hand was, or had been running through her hair.

It was...cute, really. They both looked so happy like that, I almost hated that I, Meg and Sarah had the same crazy idea all at once. We jumped onto the bed and threw pillows at them both. Jake pretty much...fell off the bed instantly, making that annoyed grunt sound he always makes when someone calls him at 3 in the afternoon and it wakes him up. But the other thing was that him and Max were basically tangled up so she fell on top of him. It was even more humorous because now, the blanket was tangled around them so Max was trying to escape and jump up to attack us back but half stood up and fell down because the blanket tripped her along with Jake's legs. Meg, Sarah and I were cracking up, all of us falling down on her bed. That's when Maxine had a brilliant idea. Which was pretty rare for a girl who was amused by tea leaves. She tugged hard on the comforter, pulling it from under us and making us...tumble. To the floor. On top of her, and since she was on top of Jake...

Yea, I felt pretty sorry for Jake...>.>;;;

We got ourselves untangled and Jake got himself all...not smushed in a few moments. Max collapsed back on her bed, poking Jake, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, in the back gently. I watched them for awhile and ended up tackling Jon when he tried to eat some of my Pop-Tarts. Meg and Sarah had started a game of Quarters, with Mayank watching protectively over Sarah and Jack...cheering Meg on. I snatched the chocolate pop-tart from Jon, kissing him. He smirked and distracted me by saying suddenly,"Was (pronounced like 'Vas', for those of you who aren't German and cool?) ist das, Maxine?" in German and gesturing to her finger. But I didn't need to know German to know why he was pointing at her finger. "A ring...it's a ring Jon..duh?" I said smartly. He perked his brow at me, nodding. I thought about it then pretty much screamed,"A ring! Ohmigawd! A ring, Maxine?! JAKE! YOU DIDN'T!" Jon fwapped me and I fwapped back then threw a pillow at Max. She caught it in her expert way and hid her red, smiling face under it. Jake was smiling and blushing nervously as he said quietly,"We're engaged..." Sarah and Meg started...freaking out a bit. I was laughing too and I threw my other pillow at Jake,"What Jake? I can't hear youuu...speak up boy!" I said. He caught the pillow and laid it on top of Max's, where her head was under and laid his head gently on top of both the pillows,"We're engaged, Kim!" they said together. I was laughing and I ran over and hugged Maxine tightly. Jake looked a bit stunned,"You don't have anything to say about it? You don't have a comment or a lecture or a smart something to say?" he asked seriously. I thought about it for a moment then said,"Damn skippy!"
