"Sure thing Jasper!" She called back. Gloves...gloves... Meghan looked around for the box, occasionally looking out of the back room into the shop to where Jasper was working. While looking, she tripped over a pile of boxes and fell to theground, another pile of boxes falling on top of her. She rolled her eyes and laughed, deciding to lay unter the boxes for a moment. She was such a klutz sometimes...

He turned back to the shelves and finished working on them as Meghan looked for the box of gloves. The next thing he heard was boxes fall and then her laughter. Jasper stopped what he was doing and went to the back. He stopped in the doorway and shook his head. Luckily the boxes were that heavy that fell on top of her.
Jasper laughed but went over and moved some boxes off of her and helped her up. "You alright," he asked.

Thankfully, the boxes were'nt that heavy as JAsper came back and helped lift the boxes off of her. "Thanks," she said, still laughing. "Yea, I'm alright, I'm such a klutz..." she said, moving to stand up. Next to her foot was a box with the word "gloves" written across in Jasper's handwriting. "And look," Meghan said. "I found the box!" She laughed.

"I believe that you'll always be one," Jasper teased. "At least you were not hurt by the boxes though." He smiled and picked up the box of gloves. "Come on Ms. Klutz. Let's finish up this shelf down here and then you can go flip the nice little open sign and help me out for a little bit. What do you say?"

"I get a special job too!" Meghan laughed, her voice mocking shock. "Well Jasper I'm honored!" Meghan teased. She got up and pulled out her wand, giving it a little flick so that the boxes she knocked over had righted themselves again. She then followed Jasper to restock the shelf.

"Special job for a special person," Jasper said with a teasing tone. He led her back to the shelf and re-stocked the shelf. "Now that is over, I think that we could turn the sign now," he got a playful look on his face, "or we could do this!" Jasper reached up and poked her sides, only to quickly grab the now empty box and started to run to the back room.

She squeeked when Jasper poked her in the sides and laughed at the playful glint in his eye. "Hey!" Meghan called, following him into the back room. "Get back here," she laughed again. She reached the back room and placd her hands on her hips. Looking around, she didn't see where he went. "Oh Jasper," she called. "Come out come out wherever you are!"

He made sure that he hid behind some boxes that were able to cover him. Although he wanted to laugh, Jasper hid it and kept his breathing quiet. Where he was he could see Meghan standing there with her hands on her hips and he grinned. Meghan hadn't changed all that much since school got out, except for the fact that she became even more beautiful if that was possible.
Jasper was distracted by his thoughts, but pushed them away and then focused on what he was doing at the moment, just having fun. Finally, he jumped out of his hiding place, and said 'boo' with a grin on his face.

He truely startled her. "Ah! Jasper," she squeeled. Meghan had nearly fallen back when Jasper jumped out at her and she waved her arms wildly, trying to catch her balence. But before she knew it, she was falling back to the ground.

Jasper laughed as he scared her. He noticed that Meghan started to fall backwards and Jasper caught onto her arm before she fell backward. He pulled her to him and shook his head with a laugh. "This time I did catch you," he said with a grin.
He made sure that she was good with standing and slowly removed his hands from her. "You good now?"

Meghan's facew reddeded again when Jasper caught her. It was so embarrassing how often she fell. "This time you did," she agreed. "I'm good, probably should go turn that sign around eh?" she said, still not ready to actually go do her "special" job. She was having fun just goofing around with Jasper like in the good ol' days

He was quiet for a moment. Jasper just looked down at her. Meghan's question went right by him, however a few moments later, it registered with him that she had said something. "Oh, um, y-yeah if you want to do it early. We still have about ten minutes before our lunch time is up."
Jasper didn't move from where he was standing, nor had he let go of her arm. This part hadn't registered with him either.

"Oh, well then," She had just noticed his hold on her. "Then I guess we still have time," she said quietly. Meghan made no move to move away from Jasper, a private war going on in her head. You like him! You can't go through this again! But it's Jasper, you know Jasper! EXACTLY!

Meghan wasn't moving either. He continued to look down at her. Memories of old times entered his mind and he moved just a little bit closer to her. Jasper leaned down slowly. He wasn't sure what came over him, but he leaned down further until his face was close to hers.
Jasper let his eyes meet hers, then he kissed her without regret.

Meghan was still in the middle of a mental war when she saw Jasper mere centimeters away from her. Before she knew it, he kissed her. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, but a few moments later, reluctantly pulled away. "Jasper..." Meghan said, not looking at his eyes. She couldn't do ths, not now.
"There's five more minutes," Meg checked her watch. "Are you all set up? Do you have money in the cash register?" She began to turn away.

He wasn't fully expecting Meghan kissing him back, but Jasper didn't pull away. Whenever she pulled away, he was disappointed. Jasper sighed audibly. He knew that she probably regretted it. She was trying to avoid what just happened.
"Everything is ready," he finally said. Jasper still was close, and he reached out as she started to turn around. He wasn't sure what he was going to say. "Meg..."

Meghan bit her lip when he reacched out to her. "Please Jasper," she said, almost pleading. "I can't... we can't..." she wouldn't go through the pain again like they had in school. Meg wanted someone that would fight for her, not just give up when the going got tough.
Ugh. why did she have to kiss him back? She basically opened Pandora's Box on their friendship! Meghan took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and tried to let what had just happened pass. They needed to move on. They can't go through this again. She can't go through this again...

"Meg," he said again. Jasper knew that he messed up last time, and he was lucky that Meghan had still wanted to be his friend. He was a coward and he did know that but he wasn't going to admit that outloud. It was his fault that they fell apart while they were in school. He didn't do the right thing and he did regret that he didn't. However, even though they fell apart, they were still friends. Jasper liked that because she was still around, but then again he didn't like it because they weren't more.
"Don't turn from me," he said softly and almost pleadingly. "I'm sorry Meg. I truly am."

"We can't do this Jasper," Meghan said sadly. Another deep breath and she turned to face him. "You and I... we both know it won't end well. Something will happen, I'll start to pull away..." Meg felt her throat begin to close up. "You won't fight for me. You won't. And I can't go through that again like I did in school Jas." She took a step back, "I won't" Before he could say any more, she turned on her heals and walked out into the store. She walked to the door, flipped the sign to read 'open', and then walked out, wiping her eyes once she cleared sight of the Quidditch shop.
