A/N: Sorry it took me a while to update, even though I had this chapter
done. Thank you so much for your reviews, and I think you'll like this
chapter. There will probably be just one more, I don't wanna make this
story too long.
Susannah:
"Oh my God," I said, blinking to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
Then my mom emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray with some food on it.
"M...mom?" I said, pointing midly in their direction.
"Oh, Suze," she said cheerfully, turning to me. "Father Dom and some friends of his decided to visit. Isn't that nice?" It's amazing how my mom can know what's going on half way across the world, but have no clue what is going on right inside her own home.
"Yeah, that's, um, real nice." I said, not being able to tear my eyes away from Jesse, who was looking more luscious than usual in a more modern pair of snug blue jeans and a t-shirt. "M...mom...do you think we could have some time alone?"
"Sure Suzie, call me if you need anything," she said. Then she set down the tray of whatever she made, and hurried to her bedroom upstairs.
Paul stood up and slipped his arm around my waist. "Miss me, Suze?" he whispered in my ear.
I grabbed his arm and tossed it off. "As if," was my response.
I glanced over at Father Dominic, who was looking pretty disgusted at what Paul had just done, and couldn't resist throwing my arms around him and saying, "Oh, Father Dom, you don't know how much I've missed you. It's so horrible here and all I want is to go home."
"Now, now," he said, patting my back. "It'll be okay Susannah. But we came here for very urgent reasons and are just glad that you are safe."
I let go of him, and couldn't help noticing that Jesse was staring at me with this faraway look in his liquid black eyes. "What do you mean?" I asked Father Dom.
"He means," said Paul, his arms crossed in front of him, "That Cade's little brother is trying to kill you."
As if I hadn't already figured that out when he mentally sent that flower pot speeding at our heads.
"I know that. But, um, Father D," I said to Father Dom, aiming to get them to leave Jesse and me alone. "Why don't you and Paul go talk to Cade? You know, tell him what's going on."
"That is a good idea," Father Dominic said, standing up. "Let's go, Paul." And I think even he knew that I wanted to be left alone with Jesse.
Once they were gone, I sat beside Jesse and said, "So, you don't remember anything? Nothing at all?"
"No... It's all very strange. Waking up and being in a totally different place and time, I mean." he said, staring at the floor. Then he centered his liquid black eyes on me. "Have we met before?"
I don't know what made me do it. But seeing his dark, impenetrable gaze again must have gotten to me, because I threw my arms around him and buried my head in his shoulder.
"Jesse," I whispered, a tear rolling down my cheek. "I love you."
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now i'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
A/N: Aww.
Jesse:
One minute we were just sitting there, and the next she had her arms wrapped around my neck and was saying she loved me. And even though I knew she was Paul's girlfriend, and that it was very wrong, it just felt right.
And it was with that feeling that I began to feel something towards Susannah. And if it was as if just having her in my arms was all I needed to remember. Because everything just came back to me. All the memories of Susannah, and being a ghost. And that liar, Paul.
And so I held Susannah tighter and whispered, "I love you too, Querida."
Hold on to me love,
You know I can't stay long.
All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid.
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself.
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.
Susannah:
Jesse put his arms around me and whispered, "I love you too, Querida," in a way that caused my stomach to do a little somersault.
I smiled. "You remember." And I knew by the way he was holding me that he did.
Then he cupped my face in his hands and gave me a kiss that sent shivers down my spine. For the few minutes it went on, I was in Heaven.
Only it was all too short because Dopey walked in from the football game he was playing outside, looked at us, and went, "Aw, sick."
I tried to pull away but Jesse wouldn't let me.
Hey, I thought. If he wants to, he can kiss me all he wants. I mean, this was Jesse! Hot, Latino, sweetheart, Jesse. And he loved me, and we could finally be together. Finally.
Except I wasn't as enthusiastic about it when I heard the front door shut, and Father Dom exclaim, "Susannah!" Paul say, "Get off of my girlfriend," and Cade protest, "She's my girlfriend!"
Uh oh.
A/N: What is Jesse gonna think? And who really is Susannah's boyfriend? Anyway, please review and tell me what you thought! Love, Luna.
