Disclaimer: I own nothing.

AN: End of the line people! Last chapter, if it could be called that. It's an epilogue. Anyone who read 'A lifetime' would understand this chapter. If you don't remember read the chappie where Jess and Veronica were about to get married and Logan was sent to deliver a certain piece of object. Anyway, it's been fun writing this. And I hope I ended it at the right place. Thanks for those who stuck by me as I wrote this, especially since this isn't the conventional pairing in the VM world.

First Impressions

Epilogue

Jess climbed into the town car and was greeted by a half-asleep Addy.

"Remind me again why I had to wake up at six in the morning?" Addy asked him, her eyes half-closed.

"Because you are the best friend anyone could ask for?" Jess returned easily.

Watkins, the driver started for their destination, smiled slightly at the exchange. He knew better than to chuckle when Addy was in a mood and Jess was baiting her purposefully.

Addy attempted to glare at him, mildly succeeding.

"Because we are on a mission." Jess tried again. Placing his arm around Addy's shoulder companionably.

"Can't this mission wait until later. Much later?" she yawned as she rested her head against his shoulder.

"No. I need to do this now." Jess replied with such seriousness.

She opened one eye and looked at his expression. "Too early to be so serious Jessie."

Jess rolled his eyes at her.

"We're here Mr. Mariano." Watkins interrupted his passengers.

"You've known me since I was fourteen Watts. Would it kill you to say my name?" Jess asked him sarcastically.

Watkins did not bother with a response as he climbed out of the driver's seat to open the door for the two. It was a common argument (albeit only in Jess' side) between him and Jess. The only person that Watkins called by her first name was Adriana. Because the irrepressible girl insisted that he called her Addy. Vehemently. Since she was four.

The door opened and Jess stepped out first and held out his hand to Addy with such flourish.

"Remind me again why we woke these good people up?" Addy looked at him expectantly. Now fully awake since they would be facing other people.

"Because our black AMEX would wake up the deepest sleepers. As long as it meant a hefty commission." he responded dryly.

"If I didn't know any better I would say that you're letting money get into your head." she hooked her arm through his and they walked inside the establishment.

Jess just looked at her with a bored expression on his face. The doorman opened the door for them and they were greeted by two well-dressed men, a blonde man who was about six feet and a brunette who was slightly taller than the blonde.

Addy smiled at them and focused back on him, while he only nodded curtly as he listened half-heartedly to the sales pitch that the two men started.

"Jess, at least try to look interested. You did wake them up early." Addy whispered to him reproachfully.

"I want to look around first. If that's alright with you." he cut off the two men.

They nodded in return and just walked a few paces behind him and Addy.

"Tell me again why we're here." Addy jabbed him with her elbow.

Jess stopped walking, he saw the two men giving them the privacy they needed. He turned to Addy. "Veronica and I got back together."

Addy nodded, not looking surprised.

"She's at my apartment sleeping."

Another nod.

"There's no one else for me." he declared with such certainty.

She nodded again. "So I was thinking maybe sapphires."

Jess brows furrowed for a second and nodded.

Addy turned to the two men, "Do you have any sapphires? A set would be preferable."

The two perked up considerably at her words. "Mademoiselle, Tiffany & Co. would provide you with the best sapphires the world has to offer." the blonde one answered with such flair.

"If you would come this way," the brunette walked before them.

Jess just rolled his eyes but followed anyway. Addy hummed happily as they followed after the two men.

"Would you quit it?" Jess glared at her impatiently.

"Nope." Addy grinned in return as she continued to hum the wedding march.
