Five very very long minutes later, Jessica and Jay pulled into her driveway. They locked their cars and headed towards her side door. Her key clicked in the lock as the door opened revealing a welcoming hallway light. Jessica flicked on the lights and placed her keys in their holder. "Welcome. Make yourself at home." She closed and locked the door behind them as Jay took off his shoes and made his way into her living room. She kicked her boots off and made a beeline for her bedroom. "I hope you don't mind, but I have got to get out of these jeans." She called over her shoulder. "Oh I wouldn't mind that at all" Jay murmured unaware of how it sounded. Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him as his face turned the darkest shade of crimson she had ever seen. "OH GOD I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! I MEAN I WOULDN'T MIND IF YOU…OH GOD OH GOD!" Jay nearly hyperventilated. Jessica laughed and walked over to him. "I know you didn't mean it like that" she said as she brushed his messy hair off of his forehead. "You're awfully cute when you get all worked up." She winked and turned to head down the hall to her room. Jay stood with his mouth open for a solid minute before she emerged in black leggings and a Harvard t-shirt. She had wrapped her long ponytail up into a bun and wiped her lipstick off. "I guess you get the real deal on the first night we meet" she laughed as she reentered the living room. Jay smiled. "Well how about this? I have comfy clothes in my car. I will go change too if that makes you feel better." He was out the door and back in a flash dressed in well tailored sweat pants and a tight black v-neck shirt. "There," he smiled. "Now we're even."

Jessica smiled as she grabbed two wine glasses, a bottle and opener, and clicked on her electric fireplace. The two of them sat down on her gigantic "L"-shaped couch and poured their first glass. Three hours and two bottles later, Jessica was snuggled up on Jay's chest. She turned the switch to lower the lights and grabbed her giant blanket from the edge of the couch. She crawled back into his lap and felt his arms wrap around her. He again, rested his chin on the top of her head and sighed with content. "You know what?" Jessica mused as she looked up at Jay. "What?" He whispered as he squeezed her a little bit tighter. "This is the best night I have had in a really, really, long time." She sat up and looked him in the eyes. "I don't know what it is about you. I would never bring a man home the first night I met him…EVER! Yet here you are, and here I am laying in your arms like its the most natural thing in the world. Im sorry if this is too much at once, but everything in this moment just feels…so….right." She looked into his eyes and he stared back with adoration. Jay gently brought his hands up to her cheeks and caressed them with his thumb. "You feel right." He whispered as he slowly leaned in and kissed her.


The next thirty seconds were an explosion of sounds, colors, memories, feelings, tears, laughter, and love. The two broke apart and fell back onto opposite sides of the couch, blinking and out of breath. Suddenly, it was all there. "JESSIE!?" "JAMES!" In an instant the two were back in each other's arms alternating between passionate longing kisses and gently touching the other's face to make sure it was all real. "Jessie! Oh, Jessie! I never thought I would see you again! I can't believe I couldn't remember anything! And here I was with you the whole night!" James held her close and sobbed hard into her shoulder. "Shhhhhh…" Jessie said comfortingly as she held him and kissed the top of his head. "I remember everything too, sweetheart. Now I know where my scar is from." She turned his face to look at her. "He drugged us, James. He drugged us and somehow we ended up here in this city with totally different memories." James wiped his eyes and sat up to face her. "I never want to see that bastard again as long as I live." "I know, neither do I." Jessie pushed back his hair and let her hand trail down to hold his face. "I don't even know where Kanto is in relation to where we are at. We will have to find our way back eventually to find Meowth and our pokemon, but it doesn't have to be tonight. Hell, it doesn't even have to be tomorrow or this week. We just found each other again, and I am not wasting any of this precious time that we have." Jessie looked deeply into his eyes and James brought his hand up to meet hers. "You're right, Jess. For right now, its just you and me…the way its always supposed to have been." He leaned in and kissed her for a moment. They both paused to look each other in the eyes before returning for another, more passionate kiss.

Jessie tangled her fingers in his lavender hair as James pulled her into his lap, straddling him. He placed one hand on her lower back and used the other to reach up under her shirt and gently massage her breast. Jessie inhaled sharply and reached for the hem of his t-shirt. With a swift motion, she pulled it up over his head and off, revealing his rock hard abs. "Holy shit, James." Jessie ogled his body for a moment, breaking the kiss. "What?" He asked her, breathless. "You're fucking gorgeous, thats what." Jessie pushed him down underneath her with one arm as pinned his shoulders to the couch. She smiled at him, pausing for a moment to simply enjoy him. "I've been waiting for this for a long time" she murmured between kisses. He broke the kiss to look up at her. "Me too, Jess." James suddenly sat up and flipped Jessie onto her back. He pinned her arms above her head as he kissed her deeply. He trailed kisses up and down her neck as he slowly removed her shirt. Jessie writhed in delight as he continued to plant kisses along her body. She wrapped her fingers deeper into his hair. As she felt him begin to undo her pants, she tightened her grip and ordered: "Bedroom."

James stood and lifted her small frame and carried her down the hall to her bedroom. He laid her down gently on the bed as she pulled back the covers. James watched as Jessie kicked off her pants, revealing lacy red panties that made his knees weak. Jessie reached into her nightstand drawer and pulled out a box of condoms. She looked at James mischievously. "I'm not sure how many we will need." She gave him a wink and patted the mattress next to her. James was there in two strides, removing his sweats before climbing into bed with her. For a moment, the two simply held each other, still taking everything in. Suddenly, James remembered something that sent a wave of panic through his body. "Jess?" He whispered, fear in his voice. "Whats the matter?" She looked at him with a furrowed brow and caring eyes. "Um….well…I've never done this…..before." James sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. Jessie felt like her heart would explode into a million pieces. "Have you forgotten that I haven't either?" She smiled at him and saw the color return to his face. Jessie removed her panties and tossed them across the room. "Now come on," she said as she teased a finger at his waistband. "Lets figure this out…together."
