Chapter Nine
Disclaimer- I don't own anything except the plot (I'm stating the obvious here :P)
Please Review!
Well, where else was I going to sleep?
I couldn't exactly sleep in anyone else's bed, considering no one was on camp this time and my mum would think I was crazy if I had slept on the floor or anywhere else, while my bed was empty. And besides, nothing happened, all we did was sleep and when I woke up, Jesse's arms were around me.
Ok, I know what you're thinking, but he's way too noble to do that.
Anyway, when I did wake up, I felt his arms around my waist and I felt really, blissfully happy that I had him back.
Until I remembered Paul's deal.
Then I felt really wretched, because Jesse still had no idea, being asleep and all when it happened, and he was going to want to learn why he was here and how I had got him out. (I think the only reason he hasn't asked yet, is that he had slight amnesia from being so beat up).
Just as I was thinking this, Jesse woke up as well. I looked up from where I was lying in his arms and smiled. He was looking a bit better than he did before.
"Thank you Susannah", he said softly.
And with that he laid a kiss on my forehead.
Ok, not on the lips, but still, so sweet,
"Um...Susannah, are you going to tell me how come I'm here and not in that bastard's house?" he said after awhile.
Uh-oh.
"Well, you see Jesse..." I said, trying to buy some time to think up a good story. "Er, I just sort of ... guessed?"
Oh gosh did I suck at thinking up lies. Wait, I don't usually have this much trouble when it comes to lying to my family and friends about mediating stuff... just Jesse. Something about his eyes made me go all mushy inside.
And Jesse just looked at me with one of those 'yeah-right-I'm-so-sure sort of looks.
"Oh fine, if you must know, Paul sent his stupid minions after me and took me there, and I saw you and I just... got you out."
Well it wasn't a complete lie.
But Jesse still didn't give up.
"Sure, querida", he said sarcastically, "You just saw me and got me out?
"Yeah, exactly Jesse", I replied as I made for the door.
I had almost made it too, until Jesse put a hand on my shoulder and stopped me.
And I melted right there.
"Fine Jesse, I made a deal with Paul, ok?", I yelled, half crying. Jesse wasn't going to like this. "As soon as school starts I'm going to be his new girlfriend!"
Jesse reacted just like I expected. He freaked.
"What Susannah? You are going to be Paul Slater's new girlfriend?", he said disbelievingly, "Are you insane? He tried to kill you!"
"Hey, I screamed back, "If you never decided to disappear on me like you did, then we would never even be in this sich.
Every resentful thought I had had over the past few months came flooding out.
"You left me, you know, just when my world was almost perfect, you left me and I didn't even hear from you in six months, and all that was for was to tell me to shut up! How do you think I feel Jesse? I thought you loved me!"
By then I wasn't just crying, I was bawling my eyes out.
Jesse looked as if I had slapped him.
"Querida, he said as he walked over to me and wrapped one of his strong arms around me, "Of course I love you, I'm so sorry, really I am truly sorry for all the pain I've put you through. I thought it was for the best, leaving so you could get over us, but I was so wrong. I'm sorry Susannah, forgive me."
Please Review! I hope this is long enough, because I don't know if I can write any longer! BTW- I changed the summary of this story because I actually know what I am writing about now! Before, I just started scribbling down ideas and got this. Hope you guys are loving it! : P
