Hey kids, sorry to keep you all waiting but I finally wrote the next chapter..

Chapter 2

I contently picked at the steaming lasagna that was piled on my plate. Andy had made enough for all of us the have ninth helpings. I could tell Andy was getting a litle mad that I wasn't eating any of his prize winning food.

"Is there anything wrong Suze?" He asked me.

"I'm just not hungry right now. Mind wrapping some up for me?" I wasn't lying but I wasn't telling the whole truth. What I really wanted was to get up to my room and kiss Jesse though I doubt he's even in my room anymore. Andy really needs to install a lock on my door.

"Suzie do you have a fever?" My mother reached her hand on my forehead, "you're aren't warm."

"Please can I be excused. I just feel like soaking in the tub."

"Probably has Jesse in her room." I heard Dopey whisper to himself but loud enough so only I could hear.

I shot him a dirty look telling him to back off. He couldn't even begin to ponder about how deep this goes.

"Go ahead Suzie, I'll save some for you." Mom answered me and I scooted from the table then walked up stairs.

In reality, I didn't want to go back into my room because I was afraid. Scared that Jesse wouldn't be there once I trudged through the door, and also frightened that if he was, nothing would happened. We all know that I couldn't handle that right now.

Luckily and to my surprise Jesse hadn't left. What am I supposed to say to him? He was on the verge of kissing me not even twenty minutes ago and here I was with no words coming into my head.

"Susannah," He said startled, "Done with dinner all ready?"

I nodded, what can I say, a hot cowboy can really leave you speechless.

"Are you not going to speak to me, Querida, I should just leave." He turned from me.

"No!," I calmed myself, "Please don't leave Jesse."

"Going to talk now?"

Again I nodded but then said, "Sure, what do you want to talk about?" what I didn't add was how I rather not talk, if you catch my drift, but boy did I think it really hard.

"How about those curtains of yours, you might want to keep better care of them."

I lightly slugged Jesse in the arm in a playful way and replied, "It's your own fault, Spike there has nothing better to do without you here. Looks like I don't either, " I added in a whispered.

"Pardon?"

"Nothing. . . it's just it seems so empty without you here. I really miss you."

"It isn't as if I'm gone forever, I'll always be here for you."

I chuckled lightly to myself, where else was he going to go?

"Let's only hope." Jesse stepped closer to me allowing me to share his warmth. Do ghosts have body warmth? It sure did feel like it or maybe it was just getting hot in here?

"How's this possible," I asked.

"What?"

"I can feel heat radiating off your body, is it possible?"

Now he pulled me even closer, our breath was in unison, his lips lingered close to mine.

"This time I won't let anyone interrupt us." His lips graced mine.

Hallelujah! Nobody would dare come into my room now. If anyone did they would pay, I would make sure of it.

We kissed longer and his hand cupped the side of my face, mine rubbed the back of his neck. Finally, in need of breath, I parted our faces, exasperated I whispered, "What was that for?" Though I rather enjoyed it.

"Querida, everything. For me and you. Though I have a question?" He looked me straight in the eyes.

"Hmmm?" I really hoped he wouldn't spoil the mood.

"What did Slater mean when he asked, 'does she sigh when you kiss her' ?"

He did it, ruined the mood I mean.

"Jesse, I'm not sure, but whatever he meant he was just jealous because if I did even sigh when I . . . er. . .kissed him, it meant nothing. You mean everything to me sigh or no sigh."

"You've kissed him?" Anger in his voice grew.

"Not intentionally, he sort of pinned me to his bed then snuck a little tongue into my mouth." I clearly stated.

"Oh, so when I kiss you would it be more pleasurable if I put my tongue with yours?" He half joked.

"Well, I enjoy all my time with you Jesse, no matter how much tongue you supply during our lip lock."

Taking me by surprise, he kissed me again with no holding back. his tongue graced my lips and I invited it into my mouth. There was no way in heaven or hell Paul Slater was this good of a kisser and I'm telling you what I did was more than any sigh could ever mean.

"Was that just for a scientific experiment to prove yourself against Paul Slater? I asked breathlessly., "because either way, there is no contest, you'd beat him any day."

"That's good to hear." He smiled at me and I swooned.

"No better way to boost a guys ego than to tell him he is the best kisser ever."

"I wouldn't say the best."

"I would. I'm going to go into the bathroom and soak in the tub a bit. Then I'll go to bed. Are you going to leave?"

"I'll come back and see you to bed."

"Great," I kissed him again then slid into the bathroom. I never wanted to wash my mouth again.

A/N I know it is all gooshy and stuff but come on it's Suze and Jesse we are talking about, you've got to have some love in there.

Thanks for the reviews.. keep them all coming!!!
