AN: This idea has been stuck in my head so I just had to get it out so I can focus on other things. It is a one shot based on song that just screams to have a story written about it. It may or may not be the first of many.


Jessica Jolene

I finally worked up the nerve to talk to Jessica. I am not what you would call real out spoken but when it comes to the people in my life that I love sometimes I can be. Jessica is seriously the most beautiful women I have ever met. The sad thing is that my boyfriend Eric thinks so too. I can't even fault him because she has amazing red hair and bright green eyes. She looks like one of the porcelain dolls I had as a child just so perfect. I feel completely in adequate when I am around her. Where she is ethereally beautiful I am just plain old me. Jessica has always had all of the guys wrapped around her dainty fingers. Eric is no exception he has held a candle for her for a long time. He talks about when he sleeping and it just breaks my heart when I know that he wants her. I also know that she knows that he would drop me like a sack of potatoes if she asked him to. The thing is Eric is the only guy I have ever loved and I think that if he did leave me I would never love another man. I am meeting her at this little café that I know no one will recognize us. I have been sitting here waiting for about ten minutes when I notice every man in the area go quite and turn towards the door. I just know it is her. I take a deep breath and turn to greet her.

"Hi Jessica I am glad you came." I say when she sits down moving her hair to the side and taking off her jacket.

"I am a little surprised that you wanted to talk to me to be perfectly honest." As a server who has been M.I.A. comes to take her order. He is back almost instantly with her tea in a to-go cup.

"I just wanted to say that I want you to please leave Eric alone. He is the best thing in my life and I don't know if I could handle it if he left me for you."

"I think that you are being a bit presumptuous and anyway if I wanted to date him then I would have taken him up on his offer last week."

"Please Jessica just say that you will leave us be. He is my world. So please."

"I will but maybe you should reevaluate your relationship if he is looking elsewhere." She stands taking her tea with her. I am left questioning my entire relationship. I did not know she had turned him down. I feel like a fool.

Jolene by Dolly Parton

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
