A/N: holy crap, it's been a while. I got about halfway through this chapter when I was hit with a SUPER huge case of writers block, that I had until a few days ago when I finished this. Anyway, here's chapter two.

*usual disclaimer. I do not own glee. I also do not in any way approve of what RIB did to the Warblers.

It was sometime around 8:30 when Jessi's phone woke her up. She'd been home for four days now and was finally back on a normal sleeping schedule. It was Friday, which meant David would be back from New York, her mom was off to Hawaii for wedding stuff, and Sebastian would be moving back home for the summer.

Grumbling and trying desperately to lose herself in her blankets, Jessi fumbled for her phone and squinted against the harsh light of the screen.

Good morning lovely (: Are you doing anything today? I think I've figured out how you can repay me for that coffee.. –Hunter.

Jessi sat up and drug a hand through her tangled locks. She stretched and shifted her legs to the side of her bed as she typed out her response.

Lovely? That's a new one. But no, I'm not doing anything until around 8:30 tonight. What did you have in mind? – Jessi.

Even though it had only been four days, Hunter Clarington had managed to weasel his way into her life, and leave an impression on Jessi. They'd talked on skype a few times, each one resulting in a weird pet name from him.

Lunch at Bella's? The rest is a secret. I plan on stealing you until 8:29, dewdrop. – Hunter

Jessi's mouth cracked a grin and she couldn't help the ridiculous laugh that escaped her throat at Hunter's latest find. Jessi finally resolved in getting out of her bed and heading to the bathroom.

Where do you come up with these names, you dork (: early lunch or late lunch? – Jessi.

Hunters response came almost immediately after she hit send.

I'll pick you up around 11. Text me your address at like 10:30, Lovely. – Hunter.

Okay, I'll admit, I do like Lovely. It's cute. P.s. is this a fancy surprise? – Jessi.

After hitting send Jessi turned her shower to hot and brushed her teeth. When her teeth were clean, Jessi hopped in the shower and began her washing routine. At 9:00, Jessi glanced at her phone again to see if Hunter had replied.

This is a shorts and a t-shirt type-a deal. – Hunter.

Right-y oh (: - Jessi.

Throwing her phone on her bed, Jessi walked over to her closet to try and find something to wear. With a quick glance out her window, Jessi decided that it would probably be nice enough for shorts, like Hunter had said.

As she threw open the folding doors to her closet, Jessi sang along to the old Rihanna song playing on her stereo. After a quick deliberation, Jessi decided on peach colored shorts she'd gotten in Germany and a fitted gray t-shirt.

"To the left, to the left. Everything you own in a box to the left.." Jessi's strong soprano filled the room as she sang along. She twisted her hair into a wraparound french braid and slipped her feet into a pair of sandals. After a final glance in the mirror, making sure her light makeup wasn't smudged; Jessi grabbed her bag and sunglasses and headed upstairs to the kitchen.

Knowing she was going to eat soon anyways, Jessi opted not to eat breakfast, instead grabbing a Naked from the fridge and settling onto the couch to relax before she had to text Hunter. At around 10:15, after a quick scroll through Facebook, Jessi sent out a text to Hunter, giving him directions to her house.

You live on Lake Hector? – Hunter.

Jessi stared at her phone in confusion. How could he have known that just from the directions she had given him?

Um, yes… why? – Jessi.

I live on the east side of Lake Hector. – Hunter.

No. how? – Jessi.

My parents moved here a year ago, Lovely. – Hunter. Jessi rolled her eyes, she could literally see the sarcasm in Hunter's text.

Oh, well excuse me, Mr. Snooty pants. – Jessi.

Stop texting me so I can drive! – Hunter.

Drive safe. See you in a few minutes. – Jessi.

Jessi put her phone in her pocket and checked her bag for a final time. Sunglasses, wallet, house keys. It was all there. Smiling to herself, Jessi walked through the house, turning off lights and scrolling a message to whoever got home first.

David/ Sebastian,

Out with a friend. I'll be home by 8:30. Love you guys!

Jessi.

Closing the door behind her, Jessi turned her key in the lock and relaxed on the porch steps, her elderly dog, Lady, coming to lie next to her.

"I'm going out on a date today, Lady, for the first time in a long time." Jessi whispered, running her fingers through the dog's golden fur. "Hopefully Hunter turns out to be the amazing man his texts say he is."

Lady responded by barking and lifting her head, alerting Jessi of the vehicle pulling into the driveway.

"Uhm.. are you kidding?" Jessi asked, covering her mouth, trying to stifle a laugh.

"I'm not kidding! It actually happened." Hunter replied, taking a drink of his coke.

"I refuse to believe you and your friends did a music video to Milkshake until I have solid proof." Jessi determined, crossing her legs on her chair as she munched on a fry.

"Anyway, enough embarrassing stories about me.. tell me about your family, how your mom met your almost step-dad, the whole nine yards."

"My family? We're a basket of crazy." Jessi snorted. Why Hunter wanted to know about her lunatic family, she didn't know.

"Yeah, I want to know about them. So I know what I'm getting myself into." Hunter argued, looking into Jessi's eyes.

"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you." Jessi warned. "I have an older brother, Joshua—he's 24 and going to law school and there's Joshua's fiancé Emma—she's 23 and teaches kindergarten. My mom and step-dad met through Sebastian and I. We'd been friends throughout fifth and sixth grade. We introduced our parents and they hit it off. Three years ago, he purposed, and they're finally getting married this December. Sebastian's 17, and he has two older brothers—twins. Emmett and Evvan are 26 and work with the NYPD. Sebastian also attends Dalton Academy and is the captain of the warblers."

"Four brothers. Wow." Hunter said, stunned. Jessi grinned.

"And a sister!" She reminded him, laughing. He nodded and cracked a smile.

"And a sister." He agreed.

"What about you? Any insane family members I should know about?" Jessi asked him.

"Just my parents, older brother James and his family, and my sister Stephanie and her fiancé Steven." Hunter responded.

"So you're the baby too." Jessi smiled, taking a final sip of her soda. The pair stood from their table, Hunter slapping a few bills onto the table after throwing a look at Jessi when she'd reached for her wallet.

"The point of this was for me to repay you for my coffee." Jessi said, crossing her arms over her chest and popping a hip.

"Yes," Hunter grinned, grabbing one of her hands and pulling her from the café. "And you are, by keeping me company today."

Jessi suddenly felt herself freeze up slightly. Hunter was still holding her hand, but she didn't want him to stop. They were just standing there, looking at each other. Hunter's eyes met hers and he slowly started to release her hand.

"No, it's fine." Jessi argued, tightening her grip on his fingers. Hunter smiled his million dollar grin again and squeezed back, the pair walking slowly to Hunter's truck.

"Now what?" Jessi asked, pulling her feet up to rest against her seat.

"It's a secret." Hunter replied, snagging her hand again as he pulled out of the parking lot.

Twenty-five minutes, a rather loud and out of tune sing-along, and an almost kiss at an extra-long stoplight later, Hunter pulled into the Westerville Pirate Cove Mini-Golf course.

"Mini golf, my lady?" Jessi cracked a grin at the dorky accent Hunter used as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her from his truck.

"Why of course, good sir." Jessi replied, lacing her fingers with his. The two walked to the front office to pay and get their balls and clubs, before entering the course.

"You should probably know that I suck at this sport." Hunter confessed after the fourth hole.

"Really, I would never have guessed that." Jessi countered, laughing.

"Shut it, you." Hunter growled playfully, smiling.

"Okay, I'm sorry you suck. It does wonders for my ego."

When they finished their game, it was going on five o'clock. After a smug victory dance from Jessi, the pair was once again in Hunter's truck. This time, he drove them to a well-sized park in the heart of Westerville. Again, Hunter pulled jessi out of the truck by her waist, but this time he didn't let go like he did last time. Choosing instead to pull her closer, wrapping his arms fully around her. Jessi smiled against his chest and returned his hug. Her arms snaking up around his shoulders to rest against his neck.

They stayed in that position for what seemed like hours. Jessi knew that it was insane. She'd only known Hunter for about four days, but it already seemed like a life time. She really enjoyed being wrapped in Hunter's strong arms. It didn't help that he smelled fantastic either. Finally, Hunter loosened his grip slightly, leaning back. Jessi stood on her toes as Hunter's forehead came to rest on hers.

"It really doesn't feel like it's only been four days since I met you, Jessi Mitchell." He whispered.

"No, it doesn't." Jessi agreed, smiling lightly.

"Would you punch me if I kissed you right now?" Hunter asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I would punch you if you didn't." Jessi told him, her smile never leaving her lips. Hunter's lips slowly inched their way towards hers, his right hand coming up to lightly run his thumb against her lower lip. Three torturous seconds later, Hunter's surprisingly soft lips were on hers, pushing lightly. Jessi's fingers tangled in the short hair at the nape of Hunter's neck as she moved her head slightly to allow him better access.

It seemed like hours before Hunter pulled back, leaning back in once for another quick peck. He pulled her back into his arms, hands running over her back as he breathed in her scent. He couldn't believe how happy she made him, even after only four days of knowing each other.

"Hey Jess." He said eventually, feeling the light flutter of her eyelashes against his neck.

"Yeah?" She asked, leaning her head back to look at him. It was almost comical how short she was compared to him.

"If I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend, would you punch me?" Hunter heard her snort lightly.

"Of course dumby."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Jessi stood back on her toes to look him in the eye.

"Ofcourse, dumby." Hunter grinned and kissed her again, quickly, but deliberately.

Realizing that they had been standing in the parking lot for ten minutes at least, Hunter suggested that they go for a walk around the park before he brought her home. Jessi agreed and the pair held hands as they strolled through the park.

Jessi was back home before 8:30 and spent the rest of the night with her family. Hunter went home ate dinner with his mom, and had a movie night with his cat. Neither's smile left their face the whole night.

A/N: so, what did you think. Review please (: I kind of feel like Jessi and Hunter are moving super fast in their relationship, but they wouldn't let me slow it down! But I promise I have things planned for them in the future and they won't always be perfect.

also, the chapters of this story are going to be lyrics to Steven Curtis Chapman's Cinderella. It's a beautiful song and everyone should listen to it.
