Eli: Yeah, yeah "About time." I know, but I was having so much fun with
School Daze. Thanks to Owlyn for ideas and Enjoy!
Gabriel was running around frantically. Elaine laughed at him as she spun around in the computer chair.
"Gabriel, what are you doing?"
"Where's my shirt?"
"Which one?"
"The blue one. The one she said I looked adorable in." Elaine looked at him suspicously.
"When did Jesse say that?"
"Four years ago."
"And you remember that?"
"She said I looked adorable." Gabriel pouted. Elaine groaned. He was going to need help. She got up and led him to his room. She gasped at his usually organizied room. There were clothes all over the floor.
"No wonder you can't find your shirt." Elaine looked him over and picked up a pair of black pants off the floor.
"These with........" She looked around and dug a blue shirt from under a huge pile of clothes. "This."
"My shirt."
"Thank me later, your going to be late." He hugged her.
"Thank you, I love you." She shoved him off and closed the door.
Gabriel came out ten minutes later, dressed and washed. Still in a rush. "I'm late, I'm late."
"I know. Here.." She passed him some flowers and opened the front door. He was about to say something but she cut him off. "Yeah, I know. No parties, no drinking cause I'm illegal, and must be home by midnight." She kissed his cheek. "Now go!"
"Bye sis." He ran off.
"That man my brother is." She shook her head. She turned and pushed the door shut. She went on unknowingly as someone haulted the door from closing. He came in silently and walked behind Elaine, who was at the computer. He grabbed the arm of the chair and swung it so that she faced him.
"Whoa." Elaine said as she was spun. She shook off the whiplash and looked up. "You stupid ass!"
"I thought you'd like to see me, Elaine." Leo frowned as his brown hair fell in his face. elaine moved his hair out of his eyes.
"I do, but you needn't go all 007 on me."
"Shall I escourt you for the night?"
"Alright, but have to be home by midnight."
"Is that when the enchantment you have on me end?"
"No, curfew. The enchantment stays on for as long as I bloody like." Leo smirked at the witty remark and pulled her to her feet.
"Then go on with your spells, because I don't mind it at all, blue eyes."
-Gabriel and Jesse-
The two walked hand in hand from the theatres. They headed to God knows where. Neither was really paying much attention too much else besides each other.
"This is nice." Said Jesse simply.
"Yeah."
"Tell me again why we didn't do this before?"
"Uh, we're both cowardly?"
"Speak for yourself."
"In eleven years of knowing you, I didn't hear you speak out either."
"That's because isn't proper for a girl to ask a guy out. Call me old fashion, but you should be doing all the asking required."
"And what's required of you? Don't you do anything?"
"I try to look good for the date."
"What do you mean try? You look beautiful." Jesse smiled and rolled her eyes. "No, Jesse. You really do." Gabriel stopped her and touched her cheek. "I missed you all these months."
"I know." They just stood there breathing heavily till Gabriel leaned forward and kissed her. Jesse wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss deepened. Gabriel seemed to lose himself as he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were no longer his. They were an icy shade of blue. Gabriel put his hand on Jesse's neck and forced her closer. Then he pushed her against the closest wall. Jesse stopped kissing him and stared at him for a moment. Gabriel didn't seem fazed at all and started kissing her neck.
"Gabriel, what are you doing?" She asked, shocked at his behavior. He gave no reply. "Gabriel?" She saw him close his eyes and got scared. "Gabriel!"
His eyes flew opened and he stepped back from her. He was confused and a bit light headed.
"Gabriel, what was that about?"
"I don't know. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." He answered, but wasn't entirely sure it was true. He took her hand again and they went on in silence.
-Sara-
Sara entered the club looking for her suspect. Another child molestor like Dalek. She looked around at the young teenagers and spotted the bastard touching a young girl's cheek. She began to make her way toward him. Mean while, a boy walked up to the man and pushed him away from the girl. The man, Jacob Myers, pushed back. Within a minute, the whole club was in a mosh pit.
Sara pushed and shoved her way to Myers. She called for back up. Myers was trying to hit the boy who had shoved him. Sara grabbed the guy's wrist as he was about to swing and twisted it behind his back. She then pinned him to the wall and hand cuffed him. Back up had arrived and got the club to settle down. The others led Myers off. Myers spit at Sara as he was taken away, only to get his head knocked on by a passerby. The boy went up to Sara.
"Thank you, Detective Sara." Sara did a double take at the boy's face. Leo. Elaine was soon at his side grinning.
"Didn't think I'd see you here, Sara. Thank you for busting that man. Might have done so myself if I knew how."
"I was looking for him. You're lucky, he's a known child molestor."
"It's one of those times I'm greatful I have a big strong lad to protect my ass."
"If you need one."
"Oh, every girl needs one once in a while. Doesn't your stalker ever come in handy?" There was a bit of a twinkle in her eye. Sara eyed her curiously.
"Funny, no venom in the voice. Don't tell me you forgive him for something like that?"
"I usually wouldn't, but when a grown man comes to your brother's house at 3:00 a.m. to apologize to a sixteen year old girl, one learns to be forgiving."
"He what?" Sara asked in disbelief. "Nottingham apologized to you?"
"He sure did. He even stayed around for a chat." Leo grew a bit out of place.
"Whose Nottingham?"
"Sara's stalker. Sweet guy, really."
"Stalker? You have a stalker, Detective Sara?" Sara glared at Elaine.
"No, Leo, I do not. You going home soon?"
"Soon." Answered Leo, who then checked his watch. "No, now. Elaine, if I'm going to get you home and still make my curfew, we need to leave now."
"Oh." Sara saw Leo's worry and decided, since he did punch Myers for spitting on her, to help.
"Here Leo, I'll take Elaine home. Just get home on time."
"Thank you, Detective Sara. I'm in your debt." He kissed Elaine and then left. Sara watched him leave and then turned to Elaine.
"Let's go."
-Later-
Sara walked Elaine up to her door to be sure she would be fine. Cop paranoia.
"Here we are."
"Sunset and Canden." Elaine added before laughing. Sara stared at her.
"Singin' in the Rain? Great musical? Debbie Reynolds?"
"No clue."
"No fun." Sara shook her head at her. Elaine glared playfuly. "What?"
"What teenager watches musicals?"
"A teenager who was raised by Jesse, that's who. She does musicals sometimes."
"Musicals?"
"Hey, it's money. She was in Guys and Dolls, Kiss me Kate, and West Side Story."
"No clue what you're talking about."
"Ahhhh. Never mind." Sara was about to leave when Elaine stopped her.
"Stay for a while and chat, please?" Sara shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay."
She stepped inside and threw her jacket on the table. She sat across from Elaine at the table.
"So?"
"How is that man of yours in the hospital?"
"He's....... Not doing so well. They're saying he might not recover." Sara looked down. She hated talking about John.
"Oh, sorry. Sara, what if he dies?"
"Then he dies."
"Would you move on?"
"Yeah, I guess. I haven't really known him in this life. All I really see is us in different times of another life like this one, but changed."
"Weird. Do.....Do you love him?"
"I don't know. I think I did in the other lifetime, but in this one I haven't known him long enough to." Sara wondered at Elaine's blunt curiosity. Elaine soon got to her point.
"Okay, I know this is going to sound strange, weird, and maybe unappealing, but just hear me out. There is another, not a brother, who loves you, but knows not how to say it." Sara had a pretty good guess who the other was, but Elaine held her hand up to silence her. "I'm not done. Sara, I've talked to him and he likes you. He really does, but he's like a twelve year old with a crush. I tried to get him to admit it, but he won't. It's his father's fault, I can tell you that. You don't need an eight ball to figure someone's been abused."
"Abused?"
"Sara, what man in the world does the things he does without someone lashing a whip at him twenty four seven? Probably the reason he wears that trench coat, just hiding all the bloody scars."
"I've never thought of that." Sara actually had, but dismissed it on the fact he was an assassin. And the world's view of assassins were swarthy, bi- polar, pyschotic, hard bodies. Not abuse victims.
"Seriously? I knew that after one encounter. You're a cop, you're suppose to see these things."
"I'm not that kind of cop."
"Well, anyway, I decided you should know this information and since he's too shy..."
"Shy?"
"Well, of course. If he wasn't, then you would know this stuff already. Going on, I ask one thing in his behalf, though he doesn't know I'm going in his behalf."
"What?"
"Give the man a chance. Lord, half a chance, and you'll be surprised."
"A chance at what?"
"Well, don't bitch at him for no reason. Did you know that is secret incouragement?"
"Yelling is supportive?"
"The lady doth protest too much. When you want something which you can not have or think is too far too touch, you get angry and insult it. Trying to make it seem less desirable in your own eyes. I don't know if that is the problem, but stop once in a while and let him speak. You'll soon see."
Elaine had lost Sara in the whole protesting too much speech. Sara just nodded.
"Alright. I gotta go. See you, Elaine."
"Bye, Sara." Sara left. Elaine sat back in her chair.
"Lord, that woman is stubborn and confused. This is going to take more then I thought. But hey, one knows what the hell she's doing teenager versus two very unusually confused adults? I can't lose." Elaine then went to bed.
-Gabriel and Jesse-
The two had forgotten of the little mishap in the alley and several hours later were resting contently in each other arms. They were both awake, but tired. Then again, the task at hand is very exhausting.
"I bet you Elaine is going to die laughing when she wakes up and realizes I didn't come home."
"No, first thing she is going to do is call me and ask how the date went."
"She does that?"
"She's into everybody buisness. That's why your mum got Elaine her own phone, computer, and cell phone."
"The annoyance will do anything to the mind of an adult." Just then, the phone rang. Jesse grinned.
"Bet you that's her now." Jesse put a hand over Gabriel mouth and pressed the intercom button.
"Hello?"
"Morning Jesse. Tell me everything, Gabriel's asleep like the dead in his own room. Didn't say a word when I knocked on the door."
"Maybe because he isn't in his room." Gabriel replied, laughing like hell at Elaine's shriek.
"No fucking way! I guess I'll see you both later. Have fun." Elaine hung up. Jesse and Gabriel looked at each other and just started cracking up.
"Today is deffinitely going to be interesting."
Eli: There;) Everyone satisfied? If you are, review please!
