All Chapters of Vanilla (Completed): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tiredly, and with a small smile of recognition, Genevieve noted muffled shuffling from over the phone line, fragmented and static ridden from the connection that lacked quality. But Genevieve did not mind, she could still detect the raspy, husky tone his deep voice always had, the one that made her knees weak and her being beg for his. It was odd, she would note, how even just the undertones of his voice seemed more sexual than his entire naked form."How was school?"

The thought alone made her heart race, and she found an additional pressure to look her best placed against her already difficult decision...Jasper paused in his steps, his eyes caught on the cardigan thrown over the back of a dinning chair that stood beneath the light of his kitchen, and a smile found his lips at the fond memory of a familiar pair of lips against his. He sighed, his hand falling from where he had been rolling up the sleeve of his dress shirt before he continued walking, only in a new direction, approaching the garment. His ha

"Hello, Genevieve," Mark smiled in response, his hands clasped before him as he forced a warm smile behind his icy eyes.It was the kind of smile that left one attempting to clear their throat with coughs and splutters, but she decided the effort was not worth the unclear outcome and settled into discomfort with grace and a warm smile of her own. "Nice party, huh?"The gir

Jasper sighed, pulling his phone away from his ear with frustration before he placed the device on the counter in defeat and took a seat on a stool by the kitchen bench. Tiredly, the man ran his hands over his face, an attempt to rid himself of the concern that clutched him.His house seemed all too silent without her; the girl he had known for the span of a few days, the girl that remained such a mystery to him and left him begging for more.

 The sun that streamed into Genevieve's room and through the sheer glass of her window woke her as she stirred. Shifting onto her back, she was fully aware of a headache that obscured her vision with an angry, white haze, her eyes and chest raw."Hey," She was greeted by a soft voice, softer than the naked morning sunlight that danc

"Can I take you out for lunch?" Jasper broke the silence, his fingers working the buttons of his shirt back into place as his eyes watched the girl, sorting through her drawer in search of a fresh set of clothes.

Jasper reached for Genevieve's hand, clasping his fingers with hers as his thumb traced patterns against her skin, his spare hand on the steering wheel as his car jumped to life with a low purr of its engine, and crawled from her driveway.

Genevieve pulled the door shut behind her silently before she turned with light feet and began to creep through the hallway, gripping her phone tight in her hand, eyes wide and alert. 

Genevieve easily swung the storage space of her locker open and crammed her binder inside with contrasted difficulty, swinging he door shut once more and clicking the lock into place. Her steps were groggy as she spun on her heel, they were even havier as she began to make her way back through the halls.

Jasper lifted his phone away from his ear once more, placing the device onto the surface of his desk as he watched Genevieve's contact slip into voicemail. He switched his phone off only a moment after, sliding the device away from his sight as he wrestled away the pressing need to contact her. What had she thought of what happened the previous afternoon? What had she thought when she walked through the front door only to see him in the company of her mother? Through it all, he did not know how to make sense of what he had heard from Mona
