DREAM ON
CHAPTER ONE: On horses and first times
Been on the loosing side. This time I'll turn the tide. This time I won't give up. No baby
This time I'm in control, I want the whole world to know Ain't nothing to slow me down this time. This weird faith is on my side. And I've giving all I've got. Yeah, baby. Count every step straight to the top
And if the river's too wide, I'll get through it. And if the mountain's too high, that won't stop, the stream of mine, I'm on my way, I've got a plan, I'm making my way any way that I can. So many times I've played in someone else's game. This time the game is changed
This time I make the rules, I won't be nobody's fool, Ain't no one can hold me down this time. This one's gonna be mine. There's a brand new strength I've found Ain't looking back Ain't backing up
This time around, I'll stand my ground I'll live my dream I realize the power lays deep in me (Nothing's gonna stop me this time. I'm on my way). I want the whole world to know…
Billie---Makin' My Way (Any Way That I Can)
Jesse's P. O. V.
My Querida fell asleep while we watched this movie on TV, I waited till the end, not wanting to disturb her dreams, and as she kept on dreaming, when the movie was over, I pick her up carefully and took her to our bedroom. Laid her down gently in our bed, climbing up right after, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her forehead
"Dulces sueños, querida" I said softly, sometimes, still, I can't believe she is mine, my beautiful Susannah, my Querida. I close my eyes, breathing in the sweet smell of her hair, wondering what is she dreaming, wondering if I'm in her dreams…
Suze's DreamOk, so this is all a dream so things are going to be twisted, very twisted, mixing characters from different times, etc.. Like Suze story and Jesse's Family and all kind of stuff, remember is all a dream.
Suze's P. O. V.
Finally, after all of the time that took coming up here all the way from New York, I'm in Northern California, a little town called Carmel by-the-sea, and all on account of my mother marring Andy Ackerman and moving here. I was allowed to stay home with my grandmother for a while but now my mother put down her foot and said it was time that I spend sometime with my family, only that my family now includes Andy and his three sons: Jake, Brad and David. I'm waiting in the station but no one comes up. Did they forgot I was coming today?
"Miss Simon?" a voice calls, I turn around and this man comes to me "Hi there, I'm Father Dominic, you're mother asked me to give you a message. She and some of your brothers"
"Stepbrothers" I muttered under my breath
"Your mom, Brad and Jake have the flu, they will be ok but the doctor suggested that you didn't go home right away, no one wants you to get sick. So we found you accommodation with a near by family. You will like them a lot" he said
"Ok" we started to walk towards a carriage. I sort of liked father Dominic, he was fun, and not all priest-y like the priests back home, all holly and stuff, probably is the weather, is really, really warm here. I know I'm dying with all the cloth I'm wearing. "Where are we going?"
"The De Silva Ranch" he said "You will love it there, they have five girls with whom you can talk and everything, you will have fun!" So off to the De Silva ranch we were, he talked a lot, telling me stuff about him and his youth and the town, I listen for the most part, this heat is getting into me.
When we got there, it was a beautiful place, all big and green we started towards the main house but half way, one of the wheels broke so we walked. That's pretty much last I remember before a horse coming up to me a great speed, I'm quite sure I screamed and then everything went black.
Next time I woke up, I was in a room, in a bed that wasn't my own and the sun was hitting down hard
"Oh, que bien, ya despertó, señorita" said an older woma
"What?" I asked trying to sitting up
"Good you woke up" another voice came "I'm Tess" it was a girl around my age, perhaps younger
"Suze" I said all confused "Where am I? How did I got here?"
"The De Silva Ranch, my stupid bother almost ran over you with his horse"
"Teresa" the older woman "No le digas así a tu hermano" (Don't call your brother that)
"Pero mamá, Hector es un menso" (But mom, Hector is an idiot"
"Don't call, hermanito that!" a little girl squealed, she was around six
"Calm down, girls" the older woman said "Are you alright, linda?" now she was talking to me, but she didn't let me answer "Of course, not, that boy and his horse. Pilar, go and tell Flora to bring some food for Suze. Tess you go and look for your father, I'm going to send a message to father Dominic. You stay here and rest, linda, and rest"
They went out and I was left alone there in that big room, alone. Then there was a knock on the door and, after a pause, it opened slowly. And I got my first look at Hector De Silva. And let me say something he is what my best friend Gina would call a Hottie, and he was, tall, dark and handsome, his skin was tanned by the sun, he had inky eyes and a scar crossed one of his eyebrows.
"Excuse me, Señorita" he said in a voice that make me shiver "I'm Hector De Silva, but people call me Jesse, sorry about earlier" he had some flowers in his hand "Hope you're felling better, señorita, this are for you"
"Thanks, I'm Suze" I said taking the flowers
"Suze? What kind of name is that?" he asked looking puzzled
"It's Susannah, actually but…"
"I like it" he said smiling "Susannah it is"
The end of chapter one.
Notes:
Ok, so this is all a dream! This is after Cielo so Jesse is alive and with Suze, that's what the beginning is all about. At the end you will see what happened after Cielo, I think, never plan that much ahead. It's gonna be fluffy, old style romance!
The names of Jesse's sisters I put the ones of the aunts that I like, three of them, one of the others is the name of my best guy friend little sister and the last one the name of the mom of my best girl friend. It was the best way I could sort it out.
More soon!
