Hello again. I promise you this story will get more interesting, I have to
build it up. It might get gory, not sure yet. Hope you like it. May angels
lead you in:
Jesse was tired. He had been on the computer for hours, trying to find something, anything that would help them find the missing new mutants. His eyes were getting heavy. He needed some coffee. He got up and walked down the hall. He was adding sugar when Emma walked in. She could sense his weariness and frustration. "Jess, why don't you rest for awhile you've been at it for some time? Why not let me talk over. Adam's trying to plan, and I have nothing else to do" Jesse looked at her. How could she do it? Hear everyone's feelings all the time. He'd go insane. "No Thanks, but I could use a hand, wanna help?" She followed him to the computer kiosk. They sat down across from each other. Jesse watched her as she worked. She was amazing. Hearing feeling everything. He knew she worked hard to maintain that sense of balance, but her also knew that there must be times when she let go and felt it all. He knew that sometimes she could feel him, and those times when he thought about her, in his bed, next to him. She was so beautiful, and so strong. He didn't think anyone knew just what she was capable of, not even him. He remembered the first time he saw her, so scared and so small, he wanted to protect her, just as he did Shalimar. He knew Shal could take care of herself, still he wanted to. It was the big brother in him coming out. With Emma it was different. He wanted her, yes, but there was something else. He couldn't put a name to it. Jesse shook himself out of his thoughts, he had to concentrate. He turned and met the starling brown of Emma's eyes. "Did you mean that Jesse?" He hadn't meant to tell her. He didn't want to tell her, did he? He could just deny it. "Yes, yes I meant it." Emma looked into the crystal blue of his eyes. She had read his thoughts, she didn't mean to, but he was staring at her for so long. She had never known he felt that way. She felt the same. She loved him "Emma, I-" She silenced him by putting a finger to his lips. "Shhhhh" she whispered and touched her warm lips to his. His lips were inviting and she rested her hands on the back of his neck. Jesse felt her lips on his. They were supple and tender. Slowly he parted her lips with his tongue. His hands rested on the small of her back, and they pulled her closer. Her breasts rested against his chest. Emma found herself sitting on his lap. As their kiss deepened their feeling grew. Finally they broke apart from the kiss that had left them both breathless. Emma whispered, "I love you too" *** Shalimar sat down with Brennen by the reflective pool. Shalimar curled one leg up under her. She could feel Brennen's presence beside her. He waited patiently as Shalimar looked into the calm water of the pool. She didn't know what to say. How could she explain what Ashlocke was doing to her? That he invaded her mind, tortured her with visions of Brennen dying at Ashlocke's hands. Of the horrendous suffering he would perform on the man she loved. He would kill him slowly and in many different ways, all in the recesses of her mind Ironic, wasn't it? It seemed only Gabriel was the only one who knew about her feelings for Brennen. She had fallen for him. She didn't know when it started. All she knew was that she loved him. She loved the way he was protective of her, albeit it was annoying at times. She loved when he looked at her. She loved the way he fought, with such passion. She loved him. How could she tell him? "Shalimar, talk to me" She turned and looked at him. Her eyes met his warm coffee eyes. "What is it? Is it Ashlocke?" She nodded. "He's still in your head, isn't he?" She nodded again. He lifted his arm and gently pressed her head against his shoulder. "I'm sorry" he whispered. Shalimar looked up at him, "Brennen I-" She never got a chance to finish. Adam's voice ran over the intercom "I need you all here now" Her head left the comfort of Brennen's shoulder. They both stood up and made their way to the lab. Shalimar sighed, she had been about to tell him that she loved him
