I promised this to a friend, but I lost my laptop access before I could put it up, so now, I'm posting it for her. Hope she likes it.

I don't own the Nine Lives of Chloe King. Nothing more needs to be said cause that covers it.

Chloe glanced at Jasmine as Valentina checked to make sure the Rogue was dead. "Are you alright?" she asked, looking the brunette over for any visible markings.

"I'm fine." Jasmine murmured, watching the blonde just as closely.

"Then let's get back to the apartment, both of you." Valentina ordered. The girls nodded and all three hurriedly made their way back to the large building. Jasmine gave Chloe a dry set of clothing.

"Thanks." Chloe murmured, heading for the bathroom as Valentina moved forward to address her daughter.

"What was that look you were giving her earlier?" the older woman demanded quietly.

"I was making sure she was alright." Jasmine replied slowly, unsure of which look her mother meant.

"Not that one." Valentina hissed. "Before, when Alek and I were leaving, you gave her a look. What was it for?"

"I was going to tell her I love her." Jasmine explained softly. "But she snuck off before I could."

"Why not tell her now?" Valentina suggested.

"You would be ok with it?" Jasmine inquired incredulously.

"If she makes you happy, then yes, I would be ok with it."

Jasmine gave her mother a small smile. "Thanks Mom."

At that moment, Chloe walked out of the bathroom and sighed. Jasmine turned to her as Valentina said, "I'm going to bed. You girls stay safe and please be quiet." Shooting a wink at Jasmine, Valentina headed to her room. Jasmine grinned and led Chloe to her room.

"You can put your clothes in the basket." She offered, settling on the bed and watching the blonde move about.

"What's up with the staring?" Chloe asked as she sat in a chair.

"Well, I have something to tell you." Jasmine took in a slow breath and said, "I love you."

Chloe stared at her for a few seconds before clearing her throat. "You, uh, you do?" she asked softly.

"Yes." Jasmine replied, watching Chloe warily.

"I love you too." The blonde stated. Jasmine's eyes widened as Chloe went on. "Knowing that Rogue was fighting you while I was drowning tore me to pieces. I needed to see you again before I died… but you saved me." Chloe looked up into jasmine's sparkling eyes and mumbled, "Thank you."

"Chloe." Jasmine breathed. "Fighting to keep you safe was what I was born for. I love you so much and knowing that he was trying to kill you just made me so angry and desperate." Jasmine leaned closer and looked Chloe dead in the eyes. "I truly do love you Chloe."

The blonde's eyes flashed green for a moment and she lunged forward to connect her lips with Jasmine's in a passionate kiss. Jasmine's hand moved up to cup her cheek as Chloe wrapped her arms around Jasmine's neck. When the kiss broke, Chloe grinned happily, her eyes now back to their normal blue. Jasmine licked her lips and Chloe didn't recognize the heat in her eyes.

"Would you like to continue?" the brunette asked softly, already moving closer to Chloe.

"I would." Chloe said softly.

"Then promise me one thing." Jasmine pleaded gently.

"What?" Chloe asked.

"Promise you won't stop loving me?"

Chloe grinned and stroked Jasmine's cheek lovingly. "Consider it done, but only if you promise the same."

Jasmine gave her a beaming smile and replied, "I promise, Chloe."

That was is for my Mickey. I hope you liked it chica and I'm sorry it took me forever in a day, but it's there.
