back at me and kissed my nose.
“You have no freaking idea how damn adorable you are right now.”
Minutes later the DJ actually announced for guys to line up on one side and girls on the other and Jax beamed. “Ha! Let's go.”
He escorted me to my side of the rink and then glided over to his. He was the oldest guy lined up and I laughed out loud. I looked down each side of me and realized I was the oldest girl too and I laughed even harder.
'Breath Me' by Sia came on and it was the boys turn to choose first. Jax was the first one to leave the wall and skated to a stop right in front of me. He presented his hand and said, “My lady, may I have this skate?”
I took his hand and we skated off, the first on the rink as other boys shyly started making their way to the girls. Jax's hand gripped mine softly, his thumb tracing circles on my skin.
“Kind of a sad song, huh?” he asked.
“Yeah, a little. Are your legs killing you as much as mine?”
He nodded, “Yeah. Does your ass feel better?”
“It does; that was super embarrassing. Thanks for not making fun of me about it.”
“Teeg, I wouldn't make fun of you. I like you too much; you really have no idea how much. I was just a little worried. Every time I get the wind knocked out of me in football, it scares the crap outta me.”
We skated around a couple more times, not really talking. The DJ called a switch, and Jax let go of my hand. “Which one should I choose?” he whispered in my ear. We looked down the line and I spied an older girl, probably in middle school, that was nervously biting on her nails. She looked kind of miserable.
“Her, in the blue. Biting her nails,” I said, pointing discreetly.
“Good call. Don't get jealous girlfriend, I've only got eyes for you.” He pecked my cheek and skated to her. I watched with admiration as he stopped in front of her and said something. The way her eyes lit up and the shock that registered on her face made my chest constrict a little. He had apparently just made her day. And I was proud.
They skated past me and I gave a wave. A little boy, who couldn't have been older than nine or ten, came up to me and asked shyly to skate and I grabbed his hand. Jax winked at me and I blushed. I made small talk with Michael, the little boy, and then it was time to change again. After it was over, Jax and I met outside the rink.
“I'm beat. I think my feet are gonna fall off,” I announced. I sat down and began untying the laces.
“Yup, me too.” He paused then bit his lip. “Um, do you think it'd be cool to go back to your house and maybe go to your dad's study? I've been wanting to finish Lord of the Flies.”
“Nothing sounds better, boyfriend. And you just earned major sexy brownie points by the way.” I leaned over and kissed him. “I told you there is nothing sexier than a guy who reads.”
“I know, I know. True story.” Jax laughed and we stood to walk back to the skate counter. As we headed to his truck, he brought our locked hands to his mouth and kissed the back of mine. “I hope you had fun Teegan,” he said.
“I sure as hell did. You're amazing.”
And he was; this whole date had been awesome. But even though I was extremely happy, happier than I was almost two weeks ago waking up like this, my soul still felt lost. I still had too many unanswered questions, and too much of a longing to stay right where I was.
Chapter Nine
Teegan – April 2014
Feeling like an idiot, I hesitantly typed the words ‘time travel’ in the search engine bar.
I scrolled through page after page of mainly stupid questions posted on public forums and multiple Back to the Future references.
Frustrated, I tried ‘go back in time’ and those results didn’t yield anything substantial either.
Hopeless, that’s what my situation was, completely hopeless.
I typed in ‘reincarnation’ and found a few interesting articles. The thought that maybe I had died and been sent to relive my life crushed
