Chapter 4: Mutual Love

Disclaimer: Da song You and I, doesn't belong 2 me, it belongs 2 da group Distinct Nature.

Jessica swallowed nervously, her palms began to sweat." What do you wanna tell me, Zack??" trying to keep her voice as calm as possible. Her mind was trying to comprehend what it was that Zack wanted to say, and her heart didn't dare to hope that, he might be confessing his feelings for her. Zack was also feeling nervous. Here he was, about to confess to the young woman who saved his life, that he loved her. Not just the fact that he loved her, but, that he had loved her ever since he had laid eyes on her. There had been something about her, something Zack sensed, even before they had officially introduced themselves that made him feel at ease. She understood him, to a degree that no one, not even Max understood him to. She understood what it was like to be chased, and hunted down, like you were a criminal. And although she had mentioned that all of her ' siblings' were her age, she also understood what it was like to be responsible for her 'siblings', even though they weren't younger than she was. She understood what it was like not to have a life, to always be on the run. All of these things just made Zack love her more. She brought feelings in him that he never wanted to experience, because he was afraid. But, now, it felt like with Jessica by his side, he could face anything. But, they worst part of this was, he wasn't sure of her response. He was so afraid of her rejecting him, that, that alone was enough to make him reconsider.

Zack slowly reached out, and took Jessica's hand, lacing his fingers through hers. That action alone was enough to make Jessica's heartbeat go triple times as fast. 'No!!!' some annoying voice in Zack's head yelled. 'What the hell are you doing??!!'' You're becoming weak, and selfish!!' 'Your brothers and sisters are going to have a field day with this one!!' 'Will you shut up!!!' Zack mentally yelled at the voice. The voice was now completely silenced. He knew that without doubt, that Jessica was the only one he had ever loved, and the only one that he ever will love. Taking a deep breath, Zack replied to Jessica's question with, "I love Jess." "I've been in love with you ever since I first laid eyes on you." Slowly, a full-blown smile spread across Jessica's face. Part of her didn't want to believe what it was that she had just heard, but, in her heart she knew that it was all true. Zack, meanwhile, seeing the smile on her face, was becoming afraid that she was going to laugh at him. "Well, say something." Zack pleaded. Jessica's smile only grew wider, "I love you too, Zack, I fell for you when I spotted you laying down there in the woods, fighting for your life." Zack smiled happily, at her declaration, and then he gently cupped his hands around her face, and claimed her lips as his own. The fireworks of passion that erupted were amazing. As the happy couple pulled apart gasping for air, Zack thought, 'So this is what it feels like to be in love.'
