A/N: Hey fellow fan fiction readers! I wanna say to Amber
(Starchicy17@aol.com) Thank you for your review! I'm glad you like the
story! And that's the same reason why I wanna see "The Rookie" too! But I
didn't get to see it yet. I was going to go yesterday (April 5, 2002) with
my friend Rachael, but she had to work so I didn't get to go **sobs**. But
I'm hopefully going to see it today or tomorrow maybe… And if my friend
cant go, then forget it! I'll go by myself! I WANNA SEE JESSE!!! LOL! Well
anyway, here is the next chapter people… Enjoy!
"Jess, you okay?" Vince asked.
"Yeah man, I'll be okay." Jesse answered still holding the ice pack that Letty had gotten him to his bruised lip.
Melaine was all cleaned up. Since she didn't have any other clothes with her, she borrowed some from Mia who surprisingly wore the same size as she did. Melaine walked into the living room where Jesse was sitting while Mia was putting Melaine's clothes into the washer, while the guys were in the kitchen cleaning up except for Dom, and Letty. She didn't know where they were.
"Oh my God, Jesse are you okay? What happened?" Melaine asked noticing his bloody nose, and bruised lip behind the ice pack.
"Oh…" Jesse quickly thought of something to tell her about how he got the bruises… Anything but the truth. "I fell down the steps." He said hoping that she would buy it.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Does it hurt?" She asked him.
"Its okay. I'll be fine. Don't worry about it." He said smiling.
"Well, I'm going to go help the guys clean up the kitchen okay?" She said. She felt bad since they were the ones cleaning up and it was her mess.
"Okay, I'll be in here if you need me. I'm just going to rest for a minute or so. My back hurts a little from the fall." He lied. He was telling the truth about his back hurting, but it wasn't from falling down the steps… It was from being pushed up against the wall.
"Okay. Well I hope you feel better. And I'll be back then." She said giving Jesse a kiss on the cheek, then walking into the messy kitchen.
"Here guys, let me to this. It's my mess." Melaine said getting down on the floor picking up the flour.
"Melaine, don't even think about cleaning this up. We got it under control." Brian said leading her out of the kitchen and into the living room before she could object. "I'm sure that you and Jesse probably want to talk anyway." He said smiling at her.
Melaine blushed. "Thank you Brian."
"No problem." He said walking back into the kitchen.
"Wow… Done so soon?" Jesse asked surprised to see her back in so quickly.
"Yeah, I tried to help clean up, but Brian wouldn't let me." Melaine said giggling.
"Oh I see." Jesse said.
Mia walked into the room and saw Jesse lying there with Melaine right next to him.
"Oh my goodness, Jesse what happened to you?" Mia asked running over to him.
"Nothing Mia, I'm fine." Jesse said lying like he did to Melaine.
"Hey Melaine can you come here a second?" Brian called from the kitchen because he saw Mia come into the room, so this would give time for Jesse to explain to Mia what had happened without Melaine hearing.
"Sure I'm coming." Melaine said getting up leaving Mia and Jesse alone in the living room.
"Can you get a broom and dust pan thing from the basement for me please?" Brian asked, figuring that, that would be enough time for Jesse to explain everything to Mia.
"Okay sure." Melaine said walking towards the basement door and down the steps. While back in the other room, Jesse spilled the whole story to Mia.
"He did that?" Mia said amazed that Dom would even think about doing something like that.
"Yeah. But don't tell Melaine okay? I told her that I fell down the basement steps. This way she would think that anything is going on." Jesse told her.
"Okay, I won't say anything to her." Mia said. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Jesse said smiling.
"GUYS! DINNER IS READY!" They heard Letty shout from the backyard.
"OKAY WE'RE COMING!" Vince shouted back.
Melaine came back from the basement with a broom and dustpan in her hand and started to clean up some of the flour.
"HEY! I told you not to clean anything!" Brian said laughing.
"Oh yeah… I guess I forgot!" Melaine laughed.
"Umm hmm… Sure ya did!" Brian said helping her clean up the flour.
"You guys… Stop cleaning, wash your hands, and get your butts out here. Dinner is ready." Leon said to Melaine, and Brian.
"Okay give us a second and we'll be right there." Brian said helping Melaine up and heading over to the sink to wash his hand with Mealine right behind him.
"So you and Jesse kiss huh?" Brian said as he handed Melaine the soap.
"Yeah we did." Melaine said blushing.
"That's cool… You know he really likes you." Brian said noticing her face light up as soon as he said that.
"Good… Cause I really like him." Melaine said still blushing.
Dom walked into the kitchen and saw Jesse trying to get up in the living room. Brian saw Dom head towards the living room. Brian coughed to get Dom's attention, and when Dom looked over Brian mouthed to him, "Don't do anything to him." Dom nodded his head, and walked into the living room. Jesse was getting up from the couch and didn't even see Dom walk in.
"Jesse… We need to talk." Dom began.
A/N: OOOOOOOOO what's going to happen??? Well you'll have to wait and see! LOL! **makes evil smile** MUHAHAHA! LOL! I just wanted to tell you all, its going to take me a little while to get to next chapter up today. See my mom is over at her friends house painting, and she is coming home at 3pm (Eastern time) and right now its 1:15pm (but that all depends when your reading this! LOL) and she wants my room cleaned and my laundry done, and the dishes done too. So I have to do that before I can get on the computer again. But I PROMISE you that the next chapter will be up as soon as I can get it today okay? PROMISE!!! Well gotta go! I got cleaning to do! (I hate cleaning!) Keep checking back for chapter 9! It had A LOT to do with secrets from Melaine's past that her so-called family is keeping from her! I hope you like it!
