This chapter probably sucks eggs, but bare with me.. Disclaimer: I do not own the Glee..

Jessi sighed as she stepped out of the terminal. It was good to be home. Of course, she wasn't home yet. She still had an hour long car ride until she reached home, but she was back in Ohio. David's driver wasn't set to arrive for a few more hours.

"Might as well get a coffee." Jessi muttered to herself as she shouldered her carry on. Having a ridiculously rich almost step-father meant that she'd been able to send all of her luggage home before she left Germany. Jessi pulled out her iPhone and sent a text out to Russell, David's driver.

Hey Russell, I'm over at the coffee shop across from the airport- Jessi. After hitting send, Jessi pocketed her phone and walked across the street to Kate's.

Standing in line to order her coffee, Jessi sighed. This wasn't what she wanted to be doing on her first day back. She really just wanted to go home and sleep in her bed. It wasn't really home, though. David and her mom, Laurie, had moved to the countryside between Westerville and Lima Ohio two weeks before Jessi left last summer. Of course, like Jessi's ,mom could be bothered to actually take a day off of work to pick her up. But no, life as a wedding planner was too busy.

Pulling her hands through her hair, Jessi fought back the tears that were threatening to spill out. It was kind of depressing when your mom's boyfriend seemed to care more about you than your mom does. That was David though. Sure, David Smythe was hard on his son, Sebastian, but there was a reason for that. Jessi knew that her mom loved her, but sometimes Laurie Mitchell cared about other people's opinions too much.

"Let me guess, tall non-fat triple shot mocha?" Jessi heard from behind her. She spun around to see a boy, who couldn't have been much older than her. He had a smirk plastered to his face as his eyes scanned her body. Jessi's teeth clenched together and she turned back around, stepping up to the counter to order her drink.

"Hi. Can I get a tall black coffee? Thanks." Jessi requested, reaching into her bag for her wallet.

"Make that a tall black coffee and a Chocolate Dalmatian." The boy behind Jessi said, pushing Jessi's hand away and handing the barista a twenty.

"Uh-what makes you think you can buy my coffee?" Jessi demanded. The barista hid a smile as she prepared the beverages. She quickly handed Jessi her coffee and set to making the boy's drink.

With a frustrated groan, Jessi walked over to a table in the corner, facing the street. She took her seat and rested her head in her arms.

"What? A guy can't buy a pretty girl a coffee anymore?" The boy took the chair across from Jessi and sipped his weird beverage.

"Not in America, no." Jessi replied.

"So, do you have a name, beautiful?" The boy asked, relaxing back in his seat.

"It's Jessi." Jessi took a sip of her coffee and closed her eyes. American coffee had never tasted so good.

"Jessi. Does Jessi stand for something? Jessica maybe? I'm Hunter by the way." The boy- Hunter said, setting his drink on the table.

"Jessaleigh. Is there something you wanted, Hunter?" Jess quipped, raising an eyebrow.

"Not really." Hunter shrugged. "You were just muttering to yourself earlier about being alone on your first day home. It's my first day back in Ohio too. I get it."

"Really, you get it?" Jessi cringed internally at the bite in her tone.

"Yeah, I do. My dad's busy and my mom is watching my niece and nephew, so I'm stuck until three." Hunter replied, taking another sip of his coffee.

"I'm sorry." Jessi told him, letting her eyes soften slightly.

"Nah, don't worry about it. What about you, Jessaleigh?"

"Foreign exchange in Germany for a year. Mom's too busy working to come get me, my brother's still in school, and my almost step-dad is in New York on business. And it's Jessi." Jessi said, emphasizing her name.

"Right, Jessi. How exactly do you plan on getting home then?"

"Nosey, much?" Jessi retorted, before smiling slightly. "David's driver is coming to get me. Do you know how far Westerville is from here?"

"Westerville huh? Well Miss Jessi, I have absolutely no idea how far Westerville is from here. I do know, however, that Westerville is my destination as well."

Jessi sighed, and for the first time since Hunter spoke to her, really looked at him. He was gorgeous. Brown hair cropped close to his head, twinkling green eyes, a strong, structured face, and a smile that seemed to light up the room. She couldn't take her eyes off of him.

"Really? How… convenient." She snorted, rolling her eyes. Hunter's mouth twitched into a smirk that should have been illegal.

"What!? I'm not joking. Come September I'll be attending Dalton Academy." Hunter told her, taking a sip of his coffee.

Just as she was about to reply, she saw a familiar black car pull up to the coffee shop. "My ride's here, but I really should pay you back for that coffee."

"I don't want your money, Jessaleigh." Hunter murmured, his eyes softening slightly. Resting her hip against the table, Jessi smiled.

"Give me your phone." Hunter handed her his phone with a questioning glance. Jessi quickly entered her number into his phone and handed it back to him.

"When you figure out how I can repay you for that coffee, let me know." With that she gave his shoulder a light squeeze and left the shop. She looked back once as she slid into the back of the Mercedes.

Hunter sighed as he watched her leave the coffee shop. Who would have thought that on his first day back from Colorado he'd run into someone so amazing. The way she didn't take any of his shit really impressed him. Truthfully, Hunter did have a way to get to his house, but hey, he got to have a conversation with a pretty girl instead of getting into a car straight away and leaving. As he was getting up to leave, Hunter felt a buzzing in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and saw he had a text from 'coffee girl'.
