A/N: I'm back again with a brand new story! I think Dove Cameron is gorgeous, but I had never watched Liv and Maddie so I thought, why not combine it with Jessie? I think it's turned out well so far. I DID watch one episode of L&M in order to get a grasp of Liv's character as I try to match the personalities of the characters in my stories. This will actually be more than one chapter, probably two, no more than three. I hope you like, please me a review or a fav, whatever you want to do.
Sitting on a bench at the park, Jessie reads a book while Zuri runs around on the playground enjoying the beautiful New York weather. The nanny is focusing more on reading than watching the young child; Zuri is at an age where playgrounds are almost too juvenile and her sometimes abrasive personality is reason enough that Zuri can handle any bullies. Emma walks up to Jessie with Luke and Ravi lagging behind, one holding a picnic basket and the other a bag of drinks. Draped around Luke's shoulders is a large blanket, the size of it easily making walking a little more difficult for the young boy. Jessie calmly looks up from her book a couple moments after noticing the boys' presence.
"Oh, look who's here. Thank you boys for bringing what I asked," she says with a smile. Emma just smiles triumphantly, enjoying watching her two troublesome siblings struggle with their burdens.
Luke, still holding everything, replies with a grunt, "How come you didn't take the blanket with you when you left with Zuri?!"
Jessie places a hand over her chest in mock surprise and gasps. "Why would I strain myself when I have two strapping young lads who must do everything I ask, as is their punishment?"
"You don't have to remind us," Ravi states dejectedly, placing the bag of drinks on the ground.
"But I think I do," Jessie retorts. "I told you three weeks of servitude after what you did to Emma and me," she says looking at the older boy. "Now go find a spot in the grass there to set up lunch please," Jessie says returning to her book. The boys start to walk away but Jessie looks up suddenly and snaps her fingers. "Uh, uh, uh, what do you say after I ask you to do something?"
In unison, the boys turn to face her and respond, "Yes, Miss Master of Our Universe," their gazes upward and annoyed.
Jessie responds silently with a toothy grin and a wave of her hand. She looks over at Emma who has now taken a seat next to her and says, "I will never get tired of that." Both girls share a chuckle before Jessie returns to her book and Emma puts on a pair of large sunglasses, content to just bask in the sunlight while the boys set up their picnic.
Looking up to see if Luke and Ravi had found a spot, Jessie notices a blonde girl wearing a frilly white shirt, skin-tight blue pants and black platform-heeled shoes sit down on her left with a huff, slightly surprising the nanny.
"I can't believe my agent didn't send a limo for me at the bus station," she says quietly to herself, pulling a cell phone out of her purse while putting some of her hair behind her left ear. Jessie continues to look on in wonderment about the girl's situation but can't see her face due to the long blonde locks. "And of course my phone's dead! I knew I shouldn't have played 'Grumpy Penguins' for half the trip," she says in exasperation, throwing the useless device back into her purse. She bends over and puts her hands in her face in frustration. The tirade also caught the attention of Emma, who looks over Jessie's shoulder to view the troubled girl.
"Are you okay?" Emma asks politely.
With her head still buried in her hands, the girl muffles back, "I'm just peachy, thanks. Actually, I could use a place to charge my phone, do you know where I could do that?" she asks, lifting her head to face the two girls on her right. This elicits a high-pitched shriek from Emma.
"Oh my god, you're Liv Rooney!" the blonde squeals, causing Jessie to rub her ears in pain.
Liv smiles wide, loving the attention. "That's me! Liv Rooney from "Sing It Louddddd!" she sings, looking away from the girls dramatically. She then turns her attention back to Jessie and Emma, smiling again.
The other blonde puts her fists over her mouth in excitement, trying to control any embarrassing outbursts. "Oh my god, it's so amazing to meet you! I'm Emma Ross!" she shouts, much to Jessie's displeasure.
The older girl grimaces but then smiles politely to the actress, reaching out for a handshake. "Nice to meet you Liv, I'm deaf," Jessie jokes, looking over her shoulder at the still giggly blonde behind her. "But most people call me Jessie."
Liv returns the gesture and smiles. "Nice to meet you both. She can't contain her excitement," she says pointing at Emma, "but you're as cool as a cucumber."
"Probably because I don't know what 'Sing It Loud' is," Jessie says coolly.
"What?!" Emma shouts, spinning Jessie around to face her. "How can you have never heard of it?!"
"Maybe because it doesn't cater to my age group?" Jessie responds, removing the angry blonde's hands from her upper arms.
"That's right, you're old!" Emma retorts. Jessie opens her mouth in protest but the actress chimes in before the nanny can fire anything back.
"Uh, so could you help me out? I need to charge my phone?"
"Yeah, of course," Jessie replies. "But first, would you care to join us for lunch?"
Liv's face lights up and she claps her hands together, "Oh my gosh, I am starvingggg!" she says, drawing out the last syllable. The girls all walk together to the picnic where Luke, Ravi, and Zuri have all started snacking on some fruit. Upon seeing the girls approach, Luke does a double take, spitting out the masticated food, drawing disgust from the youngest Ross child.
"Eww, Luke, what'd you do that for?!"
"Did I die and go to heaven?" the boy asks to no one in particular. He jumps up from his seated position and runs in front of Liv. Her eyes widen as Luke takes her hand with one of his own, her other hand going to her chest. "Hey, I'm Luke. Luke Ross," he says as suavely as he can muster. He kisses the back of her hand, causing the girl to smile nervously. She then turns her head to Jessie.
"Is he always like this?"
"Pretty much…he's a weird one, he is," she says, grabbing Luke and pulling him slightly away from the lovely actress, must to his displeasure.
"Wait, Luke… you watched "Sing It Loud?" Emma questions skeptically.
"I would watch anything if that meant I could see Liv Rooney on my screen," Luke says dreamily, his gaze cast upward in a dream-like state.
"So anyway, let's eat," Jessie says while pushing Luke's shoulders down, causing him to sit down on the blanket once again, "and then we'll head back so Liv can charge her phone." The group sits and eats their lunch of fruit and sandwiches, all of them chatting amongst themselves while Luke casually tries scooting closer to his crush. Liv though makes nice with her fan, smiling and genuinely having a good time with him and everyone else. Eventually, everyone finishes and they pack up the picnic, the two boys carrying the now-light loads.
Back at the penthouse, Jessie and Liv walk out of the elevator that opens directly to their suite with Emma and Zuri close behind. The boys wait in the lobby for another elevator due to the size of the blanket they are carrying.
"So I was meaning to ask," Liv says to Jessie, "why are Luke and Ravi carrying everything? It seems like they aren't enjoying it."
Jessie rolls her eyes and sighs at the blonde's question. "Let's just say they did something really inappropriate and they are being punished."
Liv just smiles, putting her hands together out of curiosity. "Ooooo, you just have to tell me."
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you…" Jessie starts.
Emma grabs Zuri's hand and heads for the kitchen to the right of the elevator doors. "I am NOT sticking around to hear this again. Come on Zuri."
After watching the two young girls walk out of the room, Liv looks back at the nanny and raises an eyebrow. "Ok, spill," she says, placing a hand on her hip expectedly.
Jessie takes a breath and decides to just get it over with since it seems the celebrity won't be deterred from the information. "Luke and Ravi had me and Emma bound and gagged together, completely humiliating both of us. Not to mention they found my… my… vibrator," she says very quietly, "and put it to use." Jessie's face turns bright red at admitting it to her new acquaintance, hanging her head as she hears the elevator ring behind her.
Upon hearing this, Liv's expression changes to one of shock, her mouth hanging wide open. "Bound and gagged? Like rope and tape and−"
Jessie slams her hand over Liv's mouth to quiet her as the doors to the elevator open, revealing Luke and Ravi. "Yeah, exactly. So let's never speak of it." She removes her hand from the blonde's lips, turning to face the boys; rather, the giant blanket engulfing the two of them. "Hey guys! Need some help?"
After walking out of the elevator, they drop the blanket on the floor, uncovering Luke's and Ravi's annoyed faces. "We got it," Luke says sarcastically. "So unless you need anything, we're going to our room now," he says to Jessie, waiting for an answer.
"Nah, you guys are off the hook right now. Go have fun." The boys instantly retreat up the stairs, presumably to play some video games, or at the very least, get away from Jessie's demands for awhile. "So Liv, here's an outlet for you to charge your phone," she points out. "So now you just have to call your agent huh?" she asks, putting her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, pretty much," Liv answers, plugging in her phone. She listens to the chime of her device when she turns it on, immediately going into her contacts and calling her agent. "Can you just give me a minute?" she says smiling to her hostess. Jessie gives a thumbs-up and smiles, entering the kitchen while Liv impatiently waits for the man to answer. Her eyes widen when the man on the other end answers, asking her where she is. "Where am I?! Where were you at the bus station two hours ago?! I WALKED like, at least two miles through New York looking for the hotel you told me about and didn't find it." She lets the man answer before continuing. "I'm fine but I'm not happy if that's what you're asking. Also, I found a friend so I'm with her… No, you don't need to pick me up right now… As you already know, the meeting isn't until tomorrow so I'll just hang out here today instead of the hotel… I'll be fine, I'll call you if I need something." She hangs up the phone, returning it to its place on the desk.
Jessie comes out of the kitchen with a glass of water, extending it for Liv. "Well that sounded pleasant," she says somewhat sarcastically. "Everything alright?"
"Yeah, it's fine. My agent is just worried about me, you know how it is," she says laughing but then sees Jessie raise her eyebrow skeptically. Liv coughs out of embarrassment, "Sorry, of course you don't."
Jessie smiles and waves a hand. "Don't worry about it."
"Actually, I was wondering if I could just hang out here today," Liv asks shyly. "I don't really want to spend the day by myself at the hotel."
"Sure you can!" Jessie says excitedly. "I'm sure Emma will love spending more time with you. In fact, we were going to go to the mall if you wanted to come," she asks hopefully.
"That does sound fun," she says, her smile slowly turning into a frown, "but I'm kinda tired from the trip here. Could I just kinda hang out here, maybe take a nap?"
"Oh, sure, of course you're probably still a little worn out. Just make yourself at home, I'll just grab Luke and Ravi and we'll be on our way," she says heading towards the stairs.
Liv's eyes widen suddenly and she takes a step toward Jessie to stop her. "Wait! I mean, they don't have to go, I could keep an eye on them," she offers, walking in between Jessie and the staircase. "I'm sure they would like to get away from you for at least a couple hours," she says giggling.
Jessie laughs as well, "Yeah probably, but I can't make you watch them for me."
"Don't worry about it," Liv counters. "Just call it my payment for letting me stay over today," she says with a toothy smile.
Jessie's eyes widen as she thinks about Liv's offer. "Well, I guess I can't argue that. Well then, if you need anything, here's my number," she says, drawing a business card from her purse and handing it to the blonde. "It's not just famous people who carry cards around ya know," Jessie says winking and nudging her new friend in the arm. Both girls laugh at the joke while the nanny goes to the elevator. "Come on girls!" she calls out, the two younger girls instantly appearing at the kitchen threshold and towards the elevator. "I'll bring you back a smoothie, Liv," Jessie says smiling as the elevator doors open, the three of them stepping inside.
"Make it strawberry!" the actress replies, smiling as the elevator doors close. Liv takes a breath and bites her lip, taking a moment to silence her phone before she walks up the stairs towards the boys' room.
