"If your close to me, I'm holding on." -Shakira
I really should have been more shocked. I should have leapt out of my chair and yelled. "You're joking!" at Father Dom or something like that.
Only I wasn't that shocked, because I had known all along that there was no way I could get Jesse without some kind of traumatic mediation crisis. Granted, I did not expect that traumatic mediation crisis to involve my boyfriend's crazy ghost an ex who I thought I had gotten rid of, so there was some shock factor. But I remained calm.
"Well, Jesse and I took care of her once." I tell Father D comfortably. "We'll just do it again." That's when it hits me. "Whoa Father D," I say, throwing my hands into the air in front of me. "Rewind and freeze. How'd she get back?"
Father Dom clears his throat, obviously choosing his words carefully, which makes me nervous. My panic level is slowly rising, but there is a comfort factor. If Maria has just returned, she's gotta be really weak. Right?
"I'm not quite sure how she manage to return." Father Dom said slowly. "But she is extraordinarily powerful."
Great. You know, for a priest, Father Dom definitely needs to work on his tact. The guy just shattered my comfort factor here.
"Susannah, I've begun to research possible reasons for Maria's return." Father Dom said seriously. "I've managed to narrow her intentions down to several possibilities, none of which I am prepared to elaborate on."
Father Dom stopped suddenly, looking very, very uncomfortable. "Susannah. Given that you and Jesse are now living together, well, it's important that I know. Have you and Jesse, uh consummated your relationship?"
Now, I am not a vocabulary genius, but I do know that consummating one's relationship is along the lines of what Dopey enlightened me with this morning. Probably why my face was, once again, getting extremely red. "Father D!" I hollered. "Who declared it National Embarrass Suze about Sex Day? As if it wasn't bad enough Brad had to bring it up in Jesse's presence this morning, and-" I stopped ranting and looked up.
"No. We have not yet consummated anything." I looked down again quickly. "Why did you need to know that?"
"I've determined Maria is planning something based in ancient Voodoo. However, not the Brazilian kind you have been known to engage in, but an ancient Aztec form of voodoo and mystical arts."
"Can you use Aztec voodoo and Mystical arts?"
"Well, Susannah that is one of the things we need to work out. And I'm positive that her time here is limited. Which is beneficial, granted that we could hold her off. And unfortunately, a predicament, because she will strike soon."
Thanks Father D. My panic level? Through the roof. Ok, Simon. Calm down. I refuse to do the damsel in distress thing and call Jesse to be under my constant surveillance, just because he's alone. At my house. Just waiting for that crazy witch to show up- "Jesse, Now!" I call. Out loud. I know its not necessary, but I cant help it.
Father Dom sighs. "Oh Susannah."
I look him straight in the eye. "I know you think I'm crazy. But you know I totally do love him right?"
Father D smiles. "I know. Susannah. I know."
That's when Jesse shows up. "Querida, what on Earth?" The tight, constricting, I cant breathe feeling in my chest loosens. Jesse's here. Safe and here.
"She's back Jesse." I say simply, and hand the floor over to Father Dom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ And Father Dom still had the floor while I was sitting in U.S. history right behind Paul Slater. Yea, his suspension was over. Sadly. So we're doing individual work, but of course, everyone is talking. So no one really notices when Jesse materializes next to me.
"Jesse!" I whisper loudly. Then I really want to kick myself, because of course, Paul whips his head around with a demonic grin on his face.
"Well if it isn't the happy couple." He whispers.
Jesse, to my astonishment, smiles coolly at him. "Thank you for alerting the priest about Maria's return." Jesse said to Paul, downright pleasantly, nothing like the Jesse that wanted to kick his ass this morning.
Paul shrugged. "Yea well. She creeped me out. Plus she seemed pretty damn pissed, so I thought for everyone's general safety I should let the head honcho in on the covert op."
Jesse smiled again. "Well I refuse to get worried about her. Susannah and I have a weapon she does not possess. We have each other." And with that, he kissed me. Right in the middle of U.S. history. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paul's POV
It was disgustingly cute. As soon as he materialized Suze got this happy little smile on her face. It really makes me sick.
Yea, I know I'm the bad guy, but let me justify myself. I want Susannah Simon. Plain and excruciatingly simple.
So, let me tell you how easy it was to turn bad when I see her all hung up over the cowboy here. Like now.
I roll my eyes and turn around. The class was loud enough and distracted enough so that no one saw Suze talking to, and making out with, herself.
I can't stand to watch them. And I don't buy Jesse's we've-got-each-other bullshit for a second. He's scared. I know Suze is terrified, I always know.
I know Suze better than she knows herself. That's how I'm going to get her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ok, I'm sorry this is such a short chapter, but I need to get my thoughts in order and such, longer chapster will be coming! Faster if you review! ;)
