The Experts Say I'm Delirious
“Why don’t we have a movie marathon?”
A week and a half had gone by since the incident at Alesia’s birthday party, and Jack had also gotten even better at sign language. Jack and Aly were currently sitting cross-legged on the couch facing one another. The girl’s hand moved across the paper in her sky blue sketchbook. Her tongue stuck out from concentration. It moved back in her mouth as she finished the last of the shading.
“Done!” Aly happily smiled as she set her pencil down. She gave Jack her sketchbook. “Do you like it?”
Jack looked over the newly drawn portrait of him and smiled. “I love it.” He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. A shade of pink covered her cheeks. “You’re so cute. I wish that I could draw, so I could capture that adorable face without using a camera.”
She giggled. “You can do something else.”
“What’s that?”
“You can keep being cute, so I’ll always have the best looking model.”
“Awwwwwww.” He leaned over again and rubbed his nose against hers.
“Now that my picture is done, what do you think we should do?”
A smirk appeared on his face. “Why don’t we have a movie marathon?”
“Again?”
“Home Alone never gets old. It’s the greatest movie ever created!”
“Can we watch a movie that I like first?” Jack’s eyes widened. “What?”
“I completely forgot. After you went to slept the night after your...um... birthday party that your grandma set up, she came over and dropped off your presents.”
“I got presents!? Yay!” She got up and started hopping up and down. “Where are they?”
“I go get them.” Jack made his way over to the dining room, put the straps to as many bags that he could carry on his arms. He brought them back into the room. “There’s more.” Jack made his way back to the dining room and stacked the boxes into his arms. He almost dropped them a few times, but he was able to get them in front of Aly. “That’s all of them.”
“Wow. I can’t believe that I got so much. I never would have thought that I would even get anything close to this number of presents.”
“Well, you did. Now, open them up. I want to see what they got you.”
Aly took the first bag off the floor and put it in her lap. Clouds covered the bag, and blue tissue paper was inside. She put her hand in and pulled out an envelope. She then opened it to find a card with a young girl painting a picture. Inside was a writing that was obviously from her Grandmother.
You’ll always be my little artist. I love you. -From Grandma
Aly smiled before putting her hand back into the bag and retrieving a DVD. Her mouth dropped when she saw what it was. The movie was her favorite one from right before the accident. She used to watch it almost everyday before bedtime. Jack looked at what she was holding and wondered why she looked so shocked and joyful.
“This was my favorite movie before I lost my hearing. I couldn’t watched it after I lost it because we had it on VCR, so there was no subtitles. Can we watch it right now? This is the movie that I choose to watch.”
“Of course.”
“Yay!” She gave him a big smooch on the cheek and then wrapped her arms around him. “You’re the best boyfriend ever!” She moved her face closer to his face, so their noses were touching. They looked into each other’s eyes. Jack knew that this was now Alesia. “I love you.”
Jack smiled. It always made his so cheerful when she told him this. He sometimes found it hard to believe that this girl actually loved him. It was absolutely amazing that he could hold her and she would snuggle into his chest or he could kiss her and she would kiss back. “I love you too.”
It was so interesting that they found love when they hadn’t even known each other that long. Jack thought about when they first met. Perhaps he loved her back then too. He did remember how he thought she was cute even though she was younger than him. Jack was entirely sure when he started to love her. It was like he always had loved her. Did she feel this way too? Perhaps he should ask her.
“When did you find out that you loved me?”
She didn’t quite understand why he had asked that, but she answered it anyway. “I’m not really sure. I know that it took Aly and Echo some time, but I’m not sure about myself. For all I know, I might have fallen in love with you when I opened my eyes to find you there. Why? When did you start loving me?”
“I wasn’t sure myself. It feels like I always had if that makes any sense.”
“It makes perfect sense.”
She closed the gap by putting her lips to his. Jack noticed how sweet she had tasted, and Alesia just liked the fact that he tasted like Jack. His hand moved up to cup her cheek. They both loved it when they kissed like this.
Jack would never tell the girl, but he prefered Alesia for this reason. Echo may be the one who has sex with him, but that wasn’t what he wanted. Aly may give him kisses on the cheek or quick kisses on the lips, but they weren’t enough. Alesia was the one that gave him what he wanted. Jack wanted a sweet and loving kiss. He wanted a kiss that showed both of them how much they love each other. Aly and Echo may have showed how much they cared their own way, but Alesia was the one that beat them both. She was the one that was able to put everything into one action. She had the ability to make it seem like there was only the two of them. Nothing else mattered.
“I’m going to go make the popcorn,” Jack smiled once they parted.
“Yay!” Aly was back. “I’ll put the movie in and put the subtitles on.”
Jack looked over at the rest of the gifts that were on the floor. “Are you going to open up the rest of your presents?”
“I’ll open them up after the movie marathon. I just really in the mood to cuddle and eat popcorn with you.”
“Same. Of course, I’m always in the mood to cuddle with you.” He placed another kiss upon her cheek. She giggled. “I’m going to make the popcorn now. Do you want anything with it or on it?”
“Um...I want extra butter.”
“I can do that.”
Jack got up and made his way into the kitchen. There, he grabbed a bag of popcorn from the box that was in the one cabinet, and put it in the microwave. Once that was done, he microwaved some butter and then carefully poured it on the popcorn. If he wasn’t careful, the popcorn would be soggy, and Aly didn’t like soggy popcorn. She just liked it buttery. He grabbed the bowl and walked back into the living room to find the movie paused and Aly waiting for him.
“Popcorn! Gimme! Gimme!” Jack sat down and put the treat in her lap. “Yay! It’s not soggy! You remember!”
“Of course I remembered. I also remember that you like your mac and cheese liquidy too, and if you have to have tea, you like it room temperature with tons of sugar.”
She wrapped her arms around him, almost knocking all of the popcorn onto the floor. “I love you.”
“I love you too. Now play the movie. I haven’t seen it before.”
“You’ve never seen Spirited Away!?”
“Nope, but I’m sure I’m going to love it because you do.”
“Well let’s get this marathon started.” She pressed play and they started to watched the movie as they snuggled and snacked on popcorn.
“Done!” Aly happily smiled as she set her pencil down. She gave Jack her sketchbook. “Do you like it?”
Jack looked over the newly drawn portrait of him and smiled. “I love it.” He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. A shade of pink covered her cheeks. “You’re so cute. I wish that I could draw, so I could capture that adorable face without using a camera.”

I love you all! Don't forget to comment! I really love it when you do. It makes me want to write more and makes me feel all warm inside. Love you!
Yep. I made the fist chapter 12 pages because I'm adding a bunch of stuff. The second is 10, but it's not the second chapter of this story. It's actually her just getting her stuff and having the guy character (his name is Elijah) driving her to his place. I did the same with another one that I started writing, but I haven't finished the finally copy yet. The rough draft has been done, but I only have four and a half chapters done because I'm adding more stuff.
The main difference would be that they do call her Aly in the begining because I found a way to work with it and the chapter where Alesia reveals herself, she has nightmares, and Elijah has a backstory that is also going to be a book. That, and I don't know what to call it yet because it will have a different name.
I'm happy you like this though! :) :) :)
And that's cool about your friend!
