Author's note: this chapter probably wasn't needed so I apologize but it was only important because Jessamine is remembering her wedding for a brief second. Again sorry :)
Chapter 10
Remembering the Wedding
A WEEK LATER
Jess was sitting in the passenger seat of Jay's Dodge Charger, her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her son's short black hair had grown out slightly, so the young man had slicked it back, and now he had a short goatee. Both Longbranch's had expensive sunglasses covering their beautiful eyes. As Jay focused on driving, Jessamine's thoughts wandered back to her wedding.
The occasion had gone better than anyone had expected. Her dress had been an amazing piece of beauty. Everyone in the White Rose had been there and Leah, Talia, and Elise had been the bride's maids while Jay had been Jason's best man. The honeymoon had only been a one night break because of the war going on between the roses.
"Mom?"
Jay's voice jolted the surgeon out of her thoughts.
"We made it to the dealership. Jason was supposed to meet us here, and it looks like Leah, Talia and Elise are already here," Jay said, pulling into a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Dealership.
Three days earlier most of the White Rose had traveled to Boston to get supplies for the war that they couldn't acquire in London or even in England for that matter. A spy had informed Jess that the Red Rose had gotten faster cars so Jay offered to get the White Rose some new cars.
When the mother and her son had gotten out of the car they noticed that Elise and Talia were already walking around the lot, staring dreamily at the cars. The manager of the dealership walked out and shook hands with Jay and just when he was going to ask what he could do for them, an old Dodge Challenger came flying into the parking lot with the engine roaring and the tires squealing. After the car was parked and the keys pulled out of the ignition, Jason climbed out wearing a suit, sunglasses, and a handsome smile. Jess's heart fluttered at the sight of her husband and she couldn't help smiling back.
After about an hour of negotiation between Jay and the manager, Jay ordered fifteen 2011 Dodge Chargers, fifteen 2011 Dodge Avengers, and ten 2009 Chargers. Plus one Dodge Ram Diesel Pickup truck, three Dodge Durango's, and two Dodge Journeys. All of them white with a small white rose decal on the left front bumper. The dealership manager had almost fallen over after Jay explained the order. The manager had sold cars to the young man before and knew he was wealthy, but he had never known he was this wealthy. And, every car was to be sent to London, England.
To be nice Jessamine bought a brand new white 2011 Ford Mustang GT with black racing stripes for Talia. The old orange Dodge Challenger with black racing stripes for Jason and a black Ford Mustang convertible for Elise. Leah was content just driving one of the cars Jay had ordered and the wealthy warrior was fine with the Charger he was already driving. Jay paid the manager right then and there.
$8,000,000 in cash.
Leah left with Elise and Talia in a 2006 Dodge pickup that Jay had had for years. Jason drove off in his new Challenger while Jay and Jess climbed back into the Charger. When the White Rose leader looked over at her son she raised an eyebrow in question at the grin on his face. Then he said with a humorous tone,
"Being a heart surgeon is great, but being a Longbranch is even better."
