Talking to Roger

Jessica's P.O.V

As we got home my head was still heavy, from what I told Belle. I forgive you, that is what the note said, but did Roger write it? When I got the note that was the first question that entered my mind. Naturally Roger had to have written it, I did wrong him in a way. A few years ago, before I met our other friends, I was blackmailed by Roger's boss, R.K Maroon to help him blackmail his business partner, Marvin Acme.

Maroon told me the plan was simple all I had to do was flirt with Mr. Acme, get him to think I loved him. Then one night lead him into my dressing room and play patty cake with him. Eddie, who Maroon would hire to take the pictures, would show them to Roger, making my precious honey bunny think I cheated on him. The plan sickened me, yet I had no choice if I didn't go through with the plan; then my darling Roger would never work in this town again. Naturally I couldn't let that happen, laughter was Roger's life, after everything he did for me; well I would not let that happen. Sadly, I went through with the plan breaking my Roger's heart.

From what Belle and Eddie had told me, Roger took to seeing the pictures harshly. Even through his tears Roger still believed I was forced to do it. Belle told me that Roger was begging with all his heart that the pictures were not true. That he never lost my love, even wrote me a love letter to win me back. I walked into our bedroom, and I opened up my jewlery box picking up the love letter Roger had written me. Then taking the note out of my purse, I examined it to see if Roger could have written it.

I looked hard and the writting did look similiar, but I couldn't tell for sure. Sadly I put the note back into my purse and the letter back in my jewlery box. "Roger, I am going to take a shower," I called to him.

"Okay Love Cups, I'll make you some tea, it is chilly out," Roger called from the kitchen. I smiled at how considerate Roger could be towards me. Still I wasn't looking forward to the conversation I would be having with him soon.

I turned on the bathroom light, it was a bright yellow color with a white sink, tub, and toilet. Soon I was turning on the water and I slipped out of my dress, having it fall to the floor. The water felt good on my skin as I slipped inside, grabbing my shampoo I began to wash my hair. It felt good to shower after a long day but I still was wondering how was I going to ask Roger about the note.

Roger's P.O.V

I was downstairs making some tea for my Jessica. Today had gone so well, Belle really enjoyed her present. When I saw that adorable puppy, I knew it would be the perfect gift. Belle was a detective and sadly detectives live dangerous lives, naturally she has people looking out for her. The weasels watch her back, Lulu looks after her, and Squeaks, that brave shoe protects her from any form of danger. So, when I saw that puppy, I knew it would make a good guard dog for Belle too. Plus who wouldn't want a puppy for their birthday?

My ears perked up as I heard the tea kettle whistling, with careful hands I picked up the handle, setting it on the counter. Then I grabbed on of Jessica's favorite cups, a blue cup with white flowers on it. I set the cup down and opened the cabinets looking at the variety of teas we had. "Hmmm what would she like tonight, Honey lemon, Peppermint, Green Tea, Herbal Tea, Oolong Tea, Jasmine, hmmm decisions, decisions," I said rubbing my chin. "I think Jasmine would be nice tonight," I decided and placed a tea bag in the cup. Then I poured the water in and let the tea set for a bit.

While the tea was setting I grabbed some sugar and milk,, Jessica loves milk and sugar in her teas. Once the tea set for a bit I poured in some milk and added some sugar. Then I headed upstairs to greet my beautiful wife.

When I got into our bedroom, I placed her cup on her side of the bed, then I changed into my pajamas. I put my overalls in the closet but my feet kicked Jessica's purse having it land on the floor. "Oops, clumsy me," I giggled and I kneeled down to pick up the stuff that fell. It was then I noticed a note that fell out. "What is this?" I asked curiousity taking a hold on me. I really didn't want to read Jessica's note but I just though maybe it was a grocery list, or something else. So, I just picked it up, yet the note opened a bit where I read three words, I forgive you.

My eyes widened as I read those three words. What does Jessica forgive me for? Oh no does she hate me thinking I chose my career instead of her over the whole Acme, Doom thing? Was she jealous when I shared a room with Belle? Did she hate Belle? Does she hate me? Is that why they were talking alone? Was Jessica asking Belle about that night?

The questions buzzed around my brain like an angry hornet. It didn't make sense Jessica and Belle always got along well. They even had nicknames for each other, Jessica always called Belle, names like Romeo, Blondie, or just Belle. Belle called Jessica, Red or Jess, none of these names seemed anything to worry about. Yet, did Jessica think something happened between Belle and myself? That was simply ridiculous, of course I had eyes only for Jessica, Belle was just a good friend. Still I had to ask Jessica what she forgives me for.

Jessica's P.O.V

I stepped out of the shower wearing my bathrobe, as I stepped out into our bedroom. My eyes saw Roger sitting on the bed looking confused and sad, I think. "Roger, what is wrong honey?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Jessica, there is no right way to ask this so I am just going to ask. Why did you write this note?" he asked handing me a note. My eyes widened for it was the same note I had in my purse.

"Roger, I didn't write this, I thought you did," I told him.

"What? No I didn't write you a note, why would I write a note like this?" he asked his ears forming question marks.

"I thought you were still mad at me for the Acme murder, Doom situation," I explained placing my hand in his.

"Jessica, dearest I was never mad at you. I was mad at myself, I thought I had you thinking my career meant more to me then you did. That is why I thought you wrote me the note, or you were angry that the night I was shown the pictures," his voice cracking as the memory reentered his mind. I bit my lip fighting tears as I squeezed his hand wanting nothing more then to pull him in my arms. Yet, I had to let him finish speaking. "The night I met Belle, and we shared a room together, Jessica I swear nothing happened, Belle and I are just friends," he said looking up at me with a firm gaze.

"Roger, I know that I known that for years, Yes, when I first actually met Belle, okay I was jealous thinking she was stealing you from me. I mean a strange woman I never seen hugging you and seeing you say that you couldn't have gotten this far without her help. I did think I had competition until I learned what was actually going on and I trust you and Belle," I told him gently. I heard Roger take a sigh of relief.

"Jessica, you know I would always choose you over my career, right? Yes, I love to make people laugh but I love you more, you are the best thing that ever happened to me please don't forget that," Roger said both hands intertwined with mine. I choked up seeing how sweet Roger was as I hugged him.

"I know Roger, I know, you are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I love you, you better not forget that either bunny," I said gently kissing his nose. Roger smiled he seemed to happy to know this yet, a confused look soon spread on his face.

"Oh good, so wait if you didn't write this note and I didn't write this note, then who did?" Roger asked me.

"I don't know honey bunny, but Belle is going to talk to Eddie tomorrow in case this is something we need to worry about," I told him. Roger's eyes became firm again as he held me in his arms.

"I'll keep you safe Jessica, I won't let anyone hurt you, not this time," he whispered in my ear. Tears stung my face as I held him closer kissing his lips.

"I won't let anyone hurt you either my brave Roger. We are not alone anymore we have Eddie and Belle to help us solve this case, everything will be fine," I told him ruffling his ears.

My heart was feeling lighter knowing Roger didn't write the note, but now I was worried about who did write the note. I decided that I will worry about it tomorrow, right now I wanted to have a sweet night with my husband. I gently pushed him on his back as I crawled on top of him.

"What are you up to Love Cups?" he asked me with a small grin. I began to unbuttoned his pajama shirt, as I kissed his chest leading up to his lips.

"Want to play some patty cake honey bunny?" I asked purring in his ear.

Steam came out of his ears as his whole body went red. He looked nervous yet he nodded his head, yes. I chuckled as I took off my robe, taking my hair out of the towel it was in. It was still damp as it fell over my shoulders, as I dropped the towel next to my robe on the floor. Then wolf ears appeared on my head as I pulled the blankets over us. Tonight, it was all about us tomorrow we would face the danger with the help of our friends.
