Soda Pop And Ritalin, chapter 2
Billie Joe unlocked the door and as he went inside he turned the lights on to reveal a beautiful house, which was big but it was still homey.
"Wow, I like your house." She said.
"Thanks. The bathroom is just upstairs on your first right." He said pointing up towards the stairs.
"OK." She said and ran upstairs. She was touching up her make-up and redoing her hair when Billie Joe knocked a couple times on the door and said, "I'm just gonna go out for a bit if that's OK? I made you a sandwich and you can watch some TV if I'm not back by then."
"Oh, OK."
"Oh, I nearly forgot, what size shoes are you?"
She laughed and replied, "Size 7."
"Thanks." He said and ran out the door.
"That was weird." She said to herself
***
When she had finished in the bathroom she walked into the kitchen where there was a plate with a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly.
"Oh my God, he is so sweet." She mumbled and picked up the sandwich and walked into the living room.
Having watched 10 minutes of Friends and having finished her sandwich she heard Billie Joe come in through the door.
"I'm back!" he shouted and Jackie followed. "I'm in here!"
"Hey." He said while walking into the living room. "I got you some clothes. By the way, I got you a pair of shoes and that's why I wanted to know your shoe size. I'm not just some physco creep who collects people's shoe sizes."
Jackie shook her head and laughed quietly while Billie Joe held up two bags then sat down next to Jackie.
"Here."
"Oh my God Billie. You shouldn't have."
"Honestly, its fine. I like spending my money on good deeds. And as you don't have any warm clothes or not to mention shoes I would consider this as a good deed." And as he said this he smiled which made Jackie week at the knees. Even though she wasn't standing up she knew she would most probably fall over if she got up on her feet.
"You sure?"
"Yeh. Now go try it on. If it doesn't fit I'll go back and return them."
"Thanks Billie."
And with that she took the bags and run up stairs as quick as possible to stop herself from falling over in front of Billie Joe.
He looked at her run upstairs and laughed quietly to himself and when he couldn't see her any more he turned to the TV.
***
Jackie walked downstairs and stood in the doorway until Billie Joe had spotted her.
"Wow! You look... Beautiful." He said. She was wearing a white tank top with a gray woolen jumper, jeans and a pair of classic black converses.
Jackie smiled and looked down at her hands. "The last person who said that to me was my boyfriend but who obviously thought someone else was more beautiful."
"Sorry that I brought it up."
Jackie looked up and Billie Joe could see that she was crying and her newly put-on make-up was starting to run down her face.
"Oh my God. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. Come sit," He said and patted the sofa. Jackie took this as a sign of comfort, sat next to him and leaned her head against his shoulder. It was warm and she could smell the musky smell that's just perfect for a man.
"I'm am so sorry for all this, I really don't know... " Jackie started to say but Billie lightly pushed her chin up to face him and kissed her gently on the mouth. She kissed him back and could feel his warm lips on hers and soon they were passionately kissing each other as if they had known each other for years.
***
Billie had been watching Jackie for over 10 minutes now as she lay like an innocent angel on a cloud. Her skin was vibrant and the sun shone on her beautiful brown hair. Soon after, Jackie woke up and found Billie Joe looking at her.
"Morning." He said, "Did you have a good night"' She was speechless for a moment as Billie Joe caressed her face making her shiver.
"Amazing!" she replied finally.
***
When Jackie had got dressed, she walked downstairs to find Billie Joe making breakfast for them both.
"I hope you like eggs."
"I love eggs Billie. Thanks for all this. Your really great."
"No problem." He said and kissed her on the cheek, "Eat up."
"Yum!" Jackie said and soon started eating away on the egg and occasionally taking a sip from her juice.
"I need to go buy a new pair of shoes cause my ones are starting to look a bit rough, you wanna come?" Billie Joe asked while holding up his old converses.
"Yeah sure." She said and grabbed Billie Joe's hand.
"You are so amazing!" he said quietly.
Jackie smiled making Billie Joe weak at the knees and they both walked out of the house and jumped into Billie Joe's car.
***
Billie Joe and Jackie walked into the crowded mall and to avoid any unwanted press Billie Joe had put on his gray cap and a pair of sunglasses. Jackie thought he looked great and couldn't help herself from stopping Billie in the middle of the mall and kissing him right there and then.
"That was unexpected." Billie said afterwards.
"It's called spontaneous." Jackie replied and gave him a cheeky smile.
They carried on walking but Jackie saw two people in the distance who she immediately knew she recognized. Tom and Amy.
"What is it?" Billie said and looked were Jackie was staring. "Who are they?"
"Tom, my ex-boyfriend and Amy, my ex-best friend."
"Oh do you wanna go somewhere else and shop or... "
"No. Come with me Billie." She said and dragged Billie along towards them.
***
"Hello Amy. Hello Tom." Jackie said giving them each a sarcastic smile. "I see you've 'worked things out.' Is that right? Or are you just together cause you thought I'm lying dead in some gutter."
"Listen, Jackie... "Amy started but Jackie interrupted her.
"No, you listen you two-faced bitch! How could you do this? Do you have no respect for others? Or yourself even? You're a whore and I hate you! You don't have to say anything cause its clear from where I'm standing and you should just go bury yourself in a hole somewhere."
"Jackie, stop it. We're in a mall for God's sake. Cant we just talk about this?" Tom asked.
"I wouldn't care if we we're in a fucking church!" She screamed. "And no. We can't talk about this because I have better things to do, like go shopping and getting on with my life and my new boyfriend. Which reminds me? Billie honey, would you mind introducing yourself."
"No, not at all."
Billie took of his sunglasses, held out his hand to Amy and Tom and said, "Hi I'm Billie."
"Oh my... It's... Can I have your... "
Just as Jackie was about to interrupt her Billie Joe beat her to it and said, "No. I'm sorry. I don't give out autographs to people who cheat on their best friends. Anyway, we better go. See Ya."
And with that Billie Joe put on his sunglasses, put his hand around Jackie's waist, kissed her on the lips and walked further on into the mall.
As they walked on Jackie could see in the corner of her eye that both Tom and Amy were staring at them. Then she looked back at Billie and could see that he was smiling.
"Thank you!" She laughed and looked into Billie's eyes.
"My pleasure."
There was a long pause until Billie said, "You had bad taste in guys before. Personally, if I were a girl I don't think I would want to go out with him. '
"Your right. I had bad taste. But I have good taste now."
Billie laughed and pulled Jackie in even closer to his warm body. It was now official. Jackie was going out with a rock star and she loved it. Maybe it was a good thing that Tom and Amy had cheated on her.
"Wow, I like your house." She said.
"Thanks. The bathroom is just upstairs on your first right." He said pointing up towards the stairs.
"OK." She said and ran upstairs. She was touching up her make-up and redoing her hair when Billie Joe knocked a couple times on the door and said, "I'm just gonna go out for a bit if that's OK? I made you a sandwich and you can watch some TV if I'm not back by then."
