"This love has taken its toll on me." -Maroon 5
Suze's POV
Ouch. Needless to say, as we sat in Father Dominic's office, several hours later, I was in considerable pain. However, I was enjoying Jesse's whole extremely protective, not letting Suze out of my arms thing.
It was kinda sucked that the only way to get him to be so protective was to get attacked by his ex fiancée, and wind up in Father D's office at 2:30 in the morning, but hey, I'll take what I can.
After I regained conciseness, Jesse bandaged up my arm, which was bleeding profusely. For normal folks, it may have taken an EMT, but injuries come with the trade, at least for me they do, and we keep a pretty extensive first aid kit tucked away in my bathroom. Anyway, then he carried me to the edge of the drive way and Father Dom sent a novice to pick "me" up.
So that's how we wound up in Father Dom's office. After smoothing things over with the taxi novice, and assuring her I was ok, and she did not see me floating in mid-air, Father Dom came in and sat down at his desk. He sighed. "Susannah, for the love of God, what happened?" he asked.
"Maria showed up. With her whole knife to your throat while sleeping routine. She threatened me, tried to scare me into giving up Jesse, then I got angry, said a few things back, next thing I know, she's slicing and dicing my arm."
Father Dom sighs. "Jesse?"
"Paul called me." Jesse spat out.
"Paul?" I repeated, surprised.
"Yes, Paul." Jesse snapped back at me. My mouth opened and I blinked twice. Was there really a reason to get so touchy about a question?
"Sorry." I muttered quietly. Jesse sighed, and reached over from his chair to grab my hand.
"I'm sorry querida. I don't mean to be harsh with you. But it is too coincidental that Paul called me to have a talk about his intentions towards you at the exact time that Maria attacked you."
I blinked again, for some reason unable to absorb this information. "Paul? And Maria? Working together? Again?" I asked, sounding very dumb. "Um, Jesse, I don't think so. Paul's.." I trailed off.
"Changing?" Jesse asked.
"Well, actually yea."
"Right. He's so changed he took advantage of your uh, less than aware state."
"That's really not important now Jesse. But I will be the bigger person and not point out the reason for my less than aware state was because of Maria's mouth and your mouth getting very personal."
Father Dominic cleared his throat. "First things, first, pettiness aside please. Susannah. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Nothing a couple of band-aids won't fix. What I don't understand is-"
"That's not true Susannah. Querida, she could have killed you." Jesse says, totally serious.
"But she didn't Jesse. Father Dom, I don't understand why she seems to, well, want Jesse. Last time. She didn't want to look at him. She was so angry. Now it's all kisses and no, Suze, he's mine."
Father D blinked twice, and kind of looked like he might have a stroke or something, then his face got serious. "I've been thinking about this. I don't believe that she wants to obtain Jesse. I believe she's simply adamant that you don't stay, ahh, involved, shall we say? And I'm sure there's some motive for that, I just haven't been able to decipher it yet."
I brushed it off as Maria being her crazy ghostly self, but Jesse takes it all to heart. "I knew it. I knew when I heard she was back; I was endangering you by being with you, Susannah. I don't know why, but she wont let you live, until this is done."
And I swear to God, my heart stopped. I couldn't breathe.
