Jesse stared at the sight before him, was it a dream, or is it reality?
Emma looked at the man before him, she longed to see him but could never gather up enough courage to do so. It tore her apart to leave that day, to leave Mutant X and.Jesse.
Emma was ready to run but just as the thought crossed her mind, she was embraced by the blonde molecular. He grasped her so tight she almost couldn't breathe. "Oh my god Emma, I've missed you so much" he whispered as he maintained his grasp upon the red head, he refused to let her go, not again.
"Jesse, I can't move" she whispered.
"I can't" he whispered gently.
"What do you mean you can't?" Emma asked.
"I'm afraid that if I let you go.you won't come back" he whispered as he gently raised laid his chin on her shoulder.
She began to rub small circles on his lower back "It's okay Jess, I won't leave, I promise" she whispered in return.
Jesse gently released her from his grasp and smiled, he looked at the sight before him, she looked beautiful, she had let her hair grow out, still the dark shade of red as she had the last time he saw her. Her skin still pale but lightly tanned, and her eyes, her eyes never changed, still the same crystal blue eyes he could look at forever.
"Jess, you okay?" she asked waving her hands all about.
"Oh yea, sorry" he said slightly blushing "You look great"
"You too" she said as the blush crept up on her pale cheeks.
Silence filled the air as the awkwardness flowed between them.
"Well I ummm, gotta go" she shot in as she slowly began to walk away from him. Jesse's hand grasped her elbow "Please don't go" he whispered, she could sense the how much he missed her, but no matter what, she couldn't lose her job, she had to go.
"I'm sorry Jesse, I have too, I have to go to work" she gently slid in, sincerity filled her voice. "Okay.." he said, hurt filled his voice but suddenly he dug into his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper and wrote something upon it. He gently handed the piece of paper to her "Can you call me later? Please?" he asked.
Emma smiled, it was still the same old Jesse, still full of sweet and innocence. She gently took the piece of paper from his hand "Don't worry, it's my cell phone number. Its safe, they won't know you called." He replied. She looked up at his face "Okay, I'll try and call you tonight when I get off work" she replied lightly caressing his cheek with her hand. He grasped her hand and kissed it gently "Thank you".
She smiled and nodded as she began to walk away from him, he watched as she walked down the sidewalk, her dark hair shining in the sunlight. He smiled and walked back to his car.
