Chapter Eighteen: Jon (Elise)
âIS IT MIDNIGHT YET?â He trailed kisses down my neck.
âJon, non,â I said, giggling at my rhyme, ânot for five more minutes.â I snuggled into his arms and tried to push the horrible events of the day before out of my mind. Giselleâs assault, Michaelâs kiss. Jon was making the memories flee so quickly.
âBut what if the clock is five minutes fast? Hmm?â He breathed in my ear. âDoes that count?â
I turned over in bed to face him. âYou know what I crave right now?â
âMe?â he quipped.
After the events of yesterday, I was alarmed to realize the last thing I ate was half an ice cream cone at the zoo, over 12 hours ago. I pushed myself up. âA cheeseburger!â
âElise,â he looked at me seriously as he said it. âitâs almost midnight. Where would we get a cheeseburger?â
âAt the minimart.â I bit my lip. I knew it drove him crazy. Almost as much as how close it was to midnight.
He sighed. âYou really want a cheeseburger?â
âAnd a Slushie.â
âA â really, Elise?â
I sat up, hugging my knees. âPlease?â
âOh Lord, how can I resist that face?â He mumbled, turning over and reaching for his glasses. âYou coming?â
âNot right now, but could be later, if you choose,â I said coyly, batting my eyes at him.
He licked his lips. âAre you sure you need that cheeseburger in the next five minutes?â
âYes,â I told him, nodding. I knew I was driving him crazy, but in my experience, thatâs what made it even more better.
âAre you coming or not?â he repeated, and I could tell he was frustrated by my obvious advances. I was playing a dangerous game, I knew, because the last two weeks Iâd put him off. France and America had that in common: he was over 18, and I was night. Not until today.
âAnd miss a chance to visit a twenty-four-hour mart with my favorite man? No way!â I jumped up and pulled my pants from beside the bed.
Jon snatched his keys off the table. âWhat is your obsession with mini marts?â
I shrugged. âWe donât have them in France. Or, at least that I was allowed to visit. Sean would have just laughed at me.â I puffed up my chest and pointed my finger, in an attempt at a Sean impression. ââNot now, Cheri,â He would say, âwhat would your maman say?ââ
Jon laughed as he locked the door. âWas he really that bad?â
âNo.â I wrapped my arms around me. The night was humid and muggy as ever, but I suddenly felt a cold shiver. âI actually miss him. And my mother and brother and sisters.â
The drive to the store was quiet. Not even the radio played, because Jon hated all the types of new, modern music and preferred his underground bands, as he called it. I didnât prefer the grungy, quiet lyrics, and we could never agree, so it was easier to leave the radio off.
When we arrived, I was like a kid in a candy store. It was far too late for cheeseburgers, but I had a type of nacho addiction, as Jon called it.
