Jonny turned around and watched as Jessie waltzed into the room, right behind her was the guy he had seen her with in the woods. He quickly turned back around. “Nothing, your dad was just asking where you were,” answered Jonny. “Oh,” she said glancing over at her father. Race glared at Jessie then the guy behind her. “Dad this is my boyfriend, Brent Michaels. Brent this is my father—“ “Race Bannon,” finished Brent. “It’s such an honor to meet you,” said Brent as he stuck out his hand. Race grunted as he shook it. “I suppose you’ll be staying in a hotel until school starts back up.” “Daddy,” snapped Jessie, “we have perfectly fine guest rooms here!” “It’s okay, Jess, I don’t mind staying at a hotel.” Jessie shot a look at Race. “No, that won’t be necessary. You can stay here,” replied Race. Jessie smiled and grabbed Brent’s hand. “Come one, I’ll show you to your room.” **** Jonny stared at the TV screen, his mind was numb. The words Brent and boyfriend kept ringing through his head. He was right. He had lost Jessie and there was nothing he could do about it. “JONNY!” “Huh? Were you saying something Race?” Race shook his head. “Yeah, I got to go pick something up. I’ll be back in a little bit.” “Okay,” replied Jonny not listening. Race shook his head again. * The boy is losing it. And I’m sure it has something to do with that guy Jessie brought home* **** Jessie pulled Brent into the guestroom next to hers. “Well, here we are,” said Jessie. “It’s..um, nice,” he said as he closed the door behind him. Jessie turned around when she heard the door click shut. She smiled. “Gawd, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you!” he said as he drew her closer to him. Jessie laid her head on his chest. “I’m so sorry, Jess, I really am. When I came to try to apologize and found you were gone I went ballistic! Why’d you leave?” Jessie pulled away from him. “I had to! Things were just too much for me and the only thing I could think of was coming home, to my family, to somewhere where I could relax.” “I understand, but why didn’t you tell me?” “Because you were one of the things I had to get away from. It seemed as all we ever do is argue. And…and.. I Just couldn’t take it at the time.” “You could of still come and told me you were leaving!” “No..no I couldn’t. You would have tried to stop me! And I couldn’t take that chance.” “I wouldn’t have stopped you,” replied Brent. “You followed me here didn’t you? “Yes, but only because I was worried about you! And I wasn’t even sure you were here! I spent a day trying to find out where you had gone from Alex and Anna, but even they wouldn’t tell me! The only clue I got is they both got kind of edgy when I mentioned that maybe you went home.” “Still you shouldn’t have followed me here! I don’t care how worried you were, you should of let me alone!” “Jess, I didn’t come to fight!” Brent said as he slipped his hand through his hair. “I came to be—“ “You know maybe my dad was right. Maybe you should stay in a hotel.” “If that’s what you want,” he said as he walked away from her and started to head towards the door. But he stopped short and walked back to her. “And I know that I may do things that make you mad, but I just remember I do most of them because I love you,” he said as he leaned in and kissed her. Jessie’s mind screamed for her to pull away, but her body just wouldn’t listen. Something about being in his arms again just felt so….good…so right. She laced her arms around his neck. Suddenly he broke the kiss and whispered, “I should probably be leaving.” “No, don’t le—“ Brent kissed her again before she had time to finish her sentence. This time the kiss seemed somehow….needier. Jessie felt him pull her closer, until there was nothing between them. Jessie pulled away when she felt herself bump into the bed. Brent smiled as he scooped her into his arms and kissed her again. Suddenly, just as Brent was sitting her on the bed, there was a knock on the door. “Hey Jess?” Jessie pulled away from Brent. “Yeah, what is it Jonny?” “Um, I’m sorry to bother you and all, but there’s a long distance call form an Alex.” Jessie jumped up. “Okay, I’ll be right down!” “Alright,” replied Jonny. Jessie kissed Brent again. “I’ll promise I won’t be long” And then she ran out of the room. Brent smiled as he buried his head in his hands. *This is too easy! I thought for sure that she’d fight a little more. I guess I was wrong, but I guess I shouldn’t complain, Things are going as planned! Before long she’ll be putty in my hands!* **** “Hello Alex! Merry Christmas!” “Hiya Jess,” said Alex,” and Merry Christmas to you, too! Listen I just called to warn you about—“ “Brent.” “I take it he’s already been there. Ohmigosh, Jess, I swear we didn’t tell him!” “Whoa! Alex, slow down! It’s ok, we worked everything out! Things are fine now!” “Jessie, you aren’t back together, are you?” “Well actually, yes we are.” “Jessie!” cried Anna on another line, “how could you after the way he’s been treating you?” “Well, I haven’t been treating him very well—“ “But Jessie—“ said Alex “And, well, guys, I love him!” “Are you sure? Love is a very strong word!” said Anna. “Yes, I’m sure. So what are you guys doing for Christmas?” “We just thought we’d hang out at my house,” said Anna. “Since both of our parents are out of town,” replied Alex. “Hey! You guys could always come up and stay with us. There’s plenty of room here!” “No, we wouldn’t wont to impose on your family,” replied Alex. “Nonsense! You guys wouldn’t be imposing at all! Like I said we have plenty of room and Mrs. Evans always makes enough to feed an army!” “No, we really couldn’t!“ answered Anna. “Well, if you change your mind--“ “We’ll let you know!” they both said. “Hey, I hate to cut this short, but I sort of left Brent all alone upstairs.” “Okay, talk to you later,” said Anna. “See ya when you get back,” added Alex.” “Yeah, bye,” said Jessie. “Bye,” they both said. And with that Jessie hung up the phone. “Jon-“ started Jessie before a series of honks interrupted her. “What the?” she said opening the front door. There in the driveway, sat her dad’s car. “Dad, what with--.” Jessie stopped as someone stepped out of the car. “Mom!” she cried as she ran over to Estella Velesquez. “Jessie, oh look at you!” “Mom, I’ve missed you so much!” Jessie said hugging her. “I’ve missed you too!” **** Brent looked out the curtains to see what all the commotion was about. He watched as Jessie ran out of the house towards a woman stepping out of the car. A woman who looked exactly like her, but a little older. *Estella Velesquez, Jessie’s mother. Well, at least I won’t have to worry about another encounter with family.* **** “So how is school going?” asked Estella as they walked inside the house. “Oh its great! My roommates are wonderful. I love them so much. And my boyfriend --“ “Boyfriend?” “Yeah, boyfriend. He’s name is Brent.” “And when do I get to meet this--Brent?” “Oh, I don’t know, in a couple of minutes, he’s staying in town until school starts back.” “Hmm. That’s nice. What hotel is he staying in?” Jessie laughed. “Well, I guess you could call it the Quest Hotel.” Okay folks thats all for now----i need C&C because im still not sure if i like it or if i should continue---so PLEASE tell me what i think andrea == your just jealous because the little voices talk to me AOLim:ADOANNIE98 ICQ:13307330--just say ur from teh JQML Websit:http://www.geocities.com/Paris/2057 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
