Time Keeps On Slipping
I had all day to ponder why; I was going back to Jesse time. But you know what the weird thing about it is? I must have been in Jesse time for at least and half an hour or so but the weird thing was that when I came back the clock said it had been approximately a minute since I'd gone which had to be wrong. But it obviously was wrong. I mean it had to be didn't it?
After all that and then Jesse disappeared on me again to the astral plane or whatever, leaving me alone in the house. Now usually that would be a good thing but today with everything happening as it was, I just crawled into bed and prayed that I would wake up and it would all be a dream.
A few hours later.
"Susannah? Are you awake?" It was a female voice not my mom's. This one was cold. I just couldn't place where I'd heard it before.
"I am now." I snarled. I'd never been one to be nice after I'd just woken up.
"Well get up and get dressed. Father says your nicest skirts. Your betrothed is coming over." He voice was like venom. My eyes snapped open. I found myself staring directly at Maria. She was scowling. "I'm surprised father let you sleep this late. Mind you, you always were his favourite." She turned and walked out of the room I was in.
Let me be the first to say, Oh Jesus not again!!
I got up and rifled through the wardrobe as if I were trying to find a portal to another world or something. I was in a light nightgown, which was weird because I don't wear nightgowns. I usually wear boxers and a t-shirt because of Jesse and all. I flipped through my wardrobe, dress after dress after hoop skirt. Oh god. They expected me to wear this?
It took me a while to find one which I wouldn't throw up over. When I finally did however I heard a soft knock and a soft voice said, "Susannah are you ready. Hector is here." I opened the door to find my so-called father there. Thank god. I didn't know my way around here.
I walked out following my so-called father down a long hallway, and I mean long, my feet were starting to hurt by the time we reached the room. Maria was there and from what I could see, she was flirting shamelessly with a worried looking Jesse. I couldn't help but smile. All of his body language was saying, stay-the-hell-away-from-me apart form Maria seemed to be completely oblivious to this.
My smile widened even more when, Jesse turned and looked at me and breathed. "Susannah so nice to see you again." The look on Maria's face. Oh. My. God. It was all I could do not to burst out laughing. My dad was smiling as well now. It seemed that this was a good thing that Jesse looked so happy to see me.
"Why don't you show Hector around? You can get to know each other a little better." Father suggested.
"I'd love to." I smiled at Jesse. He smiled back. Maria was shooting daggers at me by now. He offered an arm. The perfect gentleman. I accepted. The perfect lady.
I walked out. I grinned at Maria as I walked past. As soon as we were well out of earshot I burst out laughing I couldn't hold it in any longer. "Jesse," I said giggling. "This may take a while as I don't know where I'm going."
"Susannah this is not a laughing matter. We have to get back to your time. I'm as you say, 'weirded out'."
Okay I tried to stop laughing I really did but it was no use. I just shrugged my shoulders shaking with silent laughter. "It's not that bad." I said then thought a minute, "Oh wait it is. I'm related to a skank." Something weird about this situation appeared to me. "Hey Jesse how come we aren't speaking Spanish?"
He cocked his head at me, "We still speak Spanish but English seems to be a easier language. Now if you please back to the matter in hand. How are we supposed to get back?"
I shrugged again. "I usually stay a while and then everything starts to spin and I'm in my room." I shrugged "That's all I know." My eyes drifted rebelliously down from his face and onto those killer abs, I tried very hard not to start drooling at the sight of them. Jesse just had to be the sexiest product of the 19th century. He had to be.
"Susannah." The sound of my own name brought me back to reality with a jolt. I'd been staring. Whoops. I knew I was blushing and I hated it. I glanced at his face to see he was looking at me strangely. He made a motion as if he was going to touch my face but thought better of it at the last moment. I stared at his face a moment longer. Then I said,
"Let's see if we can find a way outside. We can talking private there." We'd just made it outside when the world started to swirl again. I was getting really fed up of the world doing that.
I was sitting on the side of my bed Jesse was standing in front of me stooped slightly so he could directly at my face. He looked like he was going to kiss me. Again. Not that I'd mind of course.
And can you believe me luck he did!! Right on the lips. I was just in the process of wrapping my arms around his neck when there was knock on the door. Jesse disappeared.
I almost screamed.
Then Dopey's voice came floating through the door. "Suze, dinner."
I momentarily forgot that I had just kissed Jesse, again. Dinner? How long had I been gone?
