Jaz perked up when Teddy spoke. She sat up and slid off the bed to sit beside him. "Yeah, she's an alright lady," she said with a smile. "She's kind of nosey, but I still love her. She's a great teacher."
Jazmin turned and looked at Teddy. "Teddy, are you seriously a virgin?" she blurted before she could stop herself. Teddy was too hot to be a virgin! He had to have been lying just to get on her mom's good side. "'Cause, honestly, you're too hot to be a virgin. You've had to have had gotten into someone's pants before!"

Teddy threw back his head and laughed. He laughed for awhile, just enjoying the feeling of warmth the laughter brought to his body. When he calmed down enough to speak, he still had a huge smile on his face as he looked at Jaz. He ran his hand back through his hair, spiking it up and adding volume, a sheepish grin replacing the large smile.
“Thanks, but yeah. I’m still a virgin. I’ve never even kissed a girl before.” Teddy said, ducking his head to avoid Jaz’s eyes. It wasn’t his favorite thing to admit. He really was embarrassed by it. He had tried dating twice. The first ended when he brought her home and she met Tanner. She left Teddy for him, three days into their relationship. The second ended when Teddy changed after his brother’s death. He had already begun to change for the worse after his mother left, and they never even got alone together.

Jazmin smiled as Teddy howled with laughter. She was happy she could make him laugh, but it was a serious question.
"What?" she asked in amazement when he finally answered her. "You've never-- I mean, you--" she just stopped herself, baffled.
Suddenly a sly smirk crossed Jaz's lips. She gently cupped Teddy's cheek with one hand. "You're unbelievable," she breathed. She quickly shot forward, crashing her mouth against Teddy's. Her smile distorted the kiss for a moment before it faded, her soft green eyes closed. She slowly pulled herself closer to Teddy, dropping her hand from his cheek to his chest and sliding it up to his shoulder. It had been too long since she had last kissed a guy. She wanted to stay like this forever.

Teddy's eyes widened in surprise as he felt Jaz's lips on his own. His mouth and body were frozen for a few heartbeats, unsure of what they should be doing. Then his hand slid around her waist and his lips reacted.
He had never been kissed until then, and he couldn't believe what he had been missing out on. He didn't want to stop, but the thought of Jaz's mother being in the house made him pull back. He grinned at Jaz, raising one knee and resting his arm on it. His other hand left Jaz's waist and slid back through his hair, his way of procrastination. He simply didn't know what to say, or what to do, or how to act. He couldn't even tell if Jaz had kissed him just because she felt sorry for him.

Jaz grinned as he pulled back. She was surprised that he had known how to move, more or less. "There," she said quietly, opening her eyes, "now you've kissed a girl, and I got to properly thank the guy that saved my life. Thanks," she added, snugging against his chest for a second before pulling back and standing up.
"You want something to drink?" she asked. "Maybe just something to help ease the events of the day?" She huffed. Today was way too much for her. Between the gang that had tried to rape her, the gang member that helped them escape, and the hot bad-ass biker boy that had dragged her down the street and also saved her from a deadly Drip, she had had almost zero time to herself to just relax.
A can of Sprite sounded like Heaven.

Teddy grinned and stood, following Jaz. "Sure, I'll take water or something. he said. It had been a long day, hanging out at Jaz's home was a great escape. After having saved a girl from a gang, almost getting killed by a Drip, and the random kiss, Teddy honestly wouldn't be surprised if when he went out of the room he'd find Jaz's mama hula hooping in her bra and panties.
Teddy had to bite down on his lip to keep from laughing at the mental image. He was in too good of a mood to go home. It was rare when Teddy was this happy and carefree. His father would immediately spoil his mood.

Jaz led Teddy down the narrow wooden stairs, deciding she should learn to let him follow instead of dragging him around by the arm. She could hear the old record player downstairs, playing the loving tune that Jazmin's parents had danced to at their wedding.
Jaz turned around to Teddy and pressed a finger to her lips, willing him to be quiet. Her mom would most likely be dancing. Reaching the bottom of the staircase, Jaz slowly peered around the corner.
Her mom stood next to the old record player, swaying slowly, one hand placed on an imaginary shoulder, the other on a non-exiting hip. Jaz felt her heart ache by watching her. Her mother had danced with her daddy three times this week.
Jaz tore her eyes from her mom and motioned for Teddy to follow her into the kitchen. She pulled open the fridge, and took out a Sprite for herself. Teddy had said he would go for a water. Jaz put her can of pop between her legs and pulled out a second can and a bottle of water, holding them out to Teddy to chose.
"Pick your poison," she whispered with a smile.

Teddy watched Jaz's mom dance with an unseen partner, staring in wonder. He didn't speak, although he wanted to ask questions. And as Jaz continued into the kitchen, he tore his gaze from the dancing woman and followed.
Teddy smiled back at Jaz, taking the water from her. He hated how conceited he was, but he refused to let himself look bad. He was always worried about his image, and he refused to eat or drink unhealthily, not wanting anything but protein to reach his abs. His image was all he seemed to have left, if he couldn't be hot he was no one. He would just blend into the crowd. He would always be known as just "Tanner's little brother."
"Thanks Jaz," he whispered.

Jaz placed the can of pop back into the fridge and shut the door, taking her own can back into her hand. She motioned for Teddy to follow her once more, and she walked over to the staircase, taking pleasure in the feeling of the cold wood under her toes.
She paused at the staircase base, staring with pity into the living room, watching as her mother continued to dance. Hi, again, Daddy, he thoughts whispered. You still got the moves.
Jaz quickly ascended the stairs with a sad smile. She held open her bedroom door and waited for Teddy to enter. "She's dancing with my daddy, ya know," she said softly. "He died awhile back. They always danced together, still do."
She walked over to her dresser, pushing her thumb against the power button of her radio that perched atop it. She turned down the volume before the music began, being sure to keep it at a soft murmur. It was her sleep CD, filled with calming tunes. She went back over to where she and Teddy had been sitting before, taking a seat and opening her Sprite. Taking a sip, she patted the space next to her, goading him to sit down.

Teddy followed Jaz into her room, his gaze softening with pity when she explained. His love for Jaz's mama was growing almost by the second. He really respected her, she seemed to have been through a lot.
He looked at the spot beside Jaz hesitantly, not sure if he wanted to take the chance of sitting near her. She seemed to bring odd events with her, first making him take on a group of gang members, then take on a Drip, and then she kissed him. He didn't know what to expect with her anymore.
With a sigh and an inward shrug, Teddy sat beside her, one knee up, resting his bottle of water on his knee. Finally he registered the music, it was pretty, soothing.
"Pretty music," he said softly, taking the cap off his bottle and bringing it to his lips. He capped it and set it back on his knee.

Jaz giggled at Teddy's hesitation, but she couldn't blame him. These two had been through a lot today.
"Thanks," she said. "It's what I fall asleep to at night. It's like a dream catcher, only it uses sound. If I don't sleep with it, I have nightmares. And," she added, elbowing the boy next to her, "it's great for unwinding after a long day."
Jaz laughed quietly, taking another drink of Sprite. She rested her head back against her bed, closing her eyes for a moment, just drinking in the sound of music, allowing her mind to digest the events of the day. It would take her hours to get everything sorted out.

Teddy laughed, a little nervously, as Jaz elbowed him. He thought about her mention of nightmares. Surprisingly, Teddy never had any. Even after his brother died, his dreams stayed peaceful and happy. He could only imagine ever having one nightmare. After his father had first slapped him. He wasn't hit much, which made it scarier. It was so rare, so unexpected, and the look in his father's eyes was always one of complete hate and loathing. With a metal shake of his head, Teddy cast Jaz a sideways glance.
"You have nightmares often?" he asked hesitantly. He knew he wouldn't want to talk about the one he had. But he was curious, Jaz didn't seem like the kind of person who had many disturbing dreams.

Jaz nodded vigorously. "Plenty of bad dreams," she said after taking another drink. "Falling, being chased, weird monster things coming to eat me, but only one dream gets me worked up so bad that I wake up screaming my head off. It only happens once a moth or so," she added.
Shifting her weight slightly, Jaz leaned away, towards the foot of her bed. There was a little chest there. She placed her pop can on top of it. "It's me and my mama sitting in the living room," she began. "We're just sitting, like we're waiting for something. Anyways, she suddenly stands up and goes into the entry way. She turns around really fast and she's as pale as a ghost." She ran her dark fingers through her black wavy locks. Her hand was trembling. "Then she spits up blood and falls down, and my daddy's standing behind her." Her voice cracked and trembled and she cleared her throat. "He's got an ax in his hand, and when he starts to come for me I start screaming."
Jaz gave herself a hard shake. "I guess I'm already screaming before I wake up because Mama's already got me pulled up into her arms by the time I wake up." Jaz blinked her eyes to clear away the tears that had built up. She turned her eyes to Teddy and flashed a wide grin to assure him sh was fine. Talking about her daddy always got her worked up, as did talking about things that scared her. Scary things made her eyes water.

Teddy immediately regretted asking as he saw Jaz start to shake and tear up. He listened, eyes on the floor in front of him, as she talked about the dreams of her murderous father. As she ended her description, Teddy scooted closer, ignoring her reassuring smile. He didn't believe she was alright. Putting one arm around her shoulders, Teddy pulled her to his chest. He wrapped his other arm around her, hugging her close. He had the same nightmare. His father coming to kill him. But sometimes Teddy worried it might one day happen.
Suddenly Teddy realized he was hugging Jaz. With a red flush coloring his cheeks, he let go, scooting a good six inches from her.
Smiling nervously, he said "I'm sorry about your dream... It must be horrible." He didn't bother to tell her about his very rare nightmare. He didn't want the pity.

Jaz nearly squeaked as Teddy pulled her closer, but she leaned against him comfortably until he pulled away.
"I'm alright," she reassured him. "I'm just happy it only comes around once a month." Like a period! her mind added cheerfully.
"What about you, Teddy?" she asked, reaching over to her pop can and taking another drink before placing it back. "Mind sharing any of your night frights?"
