Right another big break...but I'm going to post chapter 18 now too...so basically my message to you all is on that one lol. Enjoy guys :)
~ Club ~
Shalimar and Emma had both started to get a little tipsy after hours of continuous clubbing. Jesse was just watching them half the time tease all the men around them by exciting them and walking away straight after.
*Ha, shame on them. They don't have a chance with Emma!*
Over the night Jesse had begun to look at Emma differently, and this didn't go unnoticed by Shalimar. She did everything she could for them to be alone, which meant not dancing with Jesse, and getting the drinks in all the time.
*Oh well, they deserve eachother.*
Emma on the other hand, was taking every chance she could to dance with Jesse. And none of it had anything to do with the fact she 'liked' him...was it? She didn't need to hesitate to answer when he asked her to dance. She just hoped she didn't seem to desperate to him when she answered so eagerly so often.
*I'm sure Jesse's gonna realise sooner or later...*
Shalimar had decided that as soon as the other two had danced as much as they could, then that would be when they'd leave. Considering this was the first night out in a long time, she was surprised she wasn't having fun. Just watching Emma and Jesse together made her think more and more of Brennan and their little contact on his sofa. It made her sad, and maybe that was the reason she wasn't enjoying herself.
She told herself that first thing in the morning, she'd pay him a visit to say hi...and thanks.
Emma walked up to her again for the millionth time that night. Jesse had excused himself to go to the little boys room which gave Emma more time with Shalimar. Again.
'Shal? Listen, I just wanna say thanks. I know what you're doing, and it's greatly appreciated. I really like Jesse.'
'Yeah, I can tell. You know what else I can tell? He really likes you too.'
'I'm still not sure, I don't want to seem too forward. And I can't exactly read him to find out, otherwise that's just invading his privacy...right?'
'Of course Emma! Do not go into his mind, he'll never trust you. And the first thing in a relationship is trust...just...be yourself. That's who Jesse lov- uh..likes. You, as yourself.'
'Shal, are you okay? You haven't drunk too much have you? You're not fantasizing too much about a certain somebody are you? You know you can tell us if you're bored and we can leave.'
'Emma!! When you ask a question, leave enough time for a reply, 'k? And no, I'm fine. Have fun dancing, and when you're done you can tell me and I'll be ready. Don't leave on account of me. Please, just have fun. I just need to think a bit.'
'Okay...hey, there's Jesse. JESSE!! Over here!!'
Jesse walked up to them looking refreshed and cooled down. It was amazing at how hot you could get while dancing. He had already danced a dozen and more dances with Emma, and a couple of times with Shalimar. He even had girls of all ages coming up to him and asking him out. He was totally unaware that they stopped hassling him afterwards because of the infamous glare of Emma. And Shalimar, to add to it. She knew that Emma liked Jesse, so when any of those girls passed her she'd always make it known to them that he was seeing Emma.
'Hey girls, how you doing? You ready to leave? I mean, I don't mind.'
'Well, I'm ready, and I know Shal is too, so we might as well leave now. Besides, I think we've had enough time partying tonight, huh? What's the time?'
Jesse looked at his watch and had a shocked look on his face when he realised how much time had passed.
'Geez!! It's half past three in the morning! I hope Adam's not gonna be pissed!'
'He won't be Jess. Remember? he told us to have fun!'
'Yeah I guess Shal, well shall we get going?'
The three of them walked out of the club, arms linked to arms as Jesse opened the door for both of them. They got into the car and with Jesse driving, he sped off home to Sanctuary.
~ Sanctuary ~
'Hey Brennan, I know it's late. Listen, I wasn't expecting the team home so late, so I've set up your room. Just sleep in there and then in the morning I'll help you around a bit. Then you can meet the team. Okay? The bathroom's down there and this is your room.'
He was walking as he was talking and showed Brennan his room. He loved it, it was such a masculine room, yet so calming and peaceful. He struggled to keep in a yawn, but failed terribly and turned to Adam with almost watering eyes.
'Thanks Adam. I think I might just go to sleep now. That training took a lot more out of me than I thought it would!'
'It's okay, just get some rest cause we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.'
Adam turned to leave to give the younger man a bit of privacy, when he stopped to hear his name being called.
'Adam?'
'Yeah?'
'Thanks. For all of this. I'm glad I met you, I don't know how I would have gotten a control of this if it weren't for you.'
'It's okay. I think you're probably doing me more good than I am to you.'
'Thanks anyway. Good night.'
'Good night, Brennan.'
Adam turned out of the entrance, and shut the door behind him. Within seconds of trying out the spring and bounce of the bed, Brennan was fast asleep in just his boxers and a baggy t-shirt. He had changed quickly before, and then fell straight asleep on top of his covers, not feeling the need to cover himself any more.
~ Entrance ~
'What the..?'
'What's up Emma?'
As soon as she got out of the car, she felt another presence in Sanctuary. And it felt somewhat familiar...
'Nothing, I just felt someone else here, that's all.'
'Hey, it's probably just the alcohol talking Em, no biggie.'
'No, she's right Jess. I feel it too...but it just seems really...I don't know, familiar...'
'Well, you're a feral, and Emma's a psionic, so a little molecular like me can't really tell.'
The attention was turned back to him as he pouted his lips to the girls.
'Aww poor Jesse!! Come on, we'll get some sleep and me and Emma will make it up to you in the morning! Night Emma. Night Jess...don't stay up too late...'
She kissed Emma on the cheek and then Jesse before turning to her room. She paused outside for a minute as she felt the same familiar feeling in the room next to hers. She was about to go in when she was overpowered by a yawn.
*Hm, Jesse's probably right. It's probably just the alcohol.*
Jesse and Emma just stood there in silence after Shalimar had left them.
'So um...I had fun tonight. You're a better dancer than most guys I know!'
They both nervously laughed as Emma tried to crack a joke. She was a little unsuccessful, though.
'Yeah, me too. I guess we should go to sleep then?'
They had both managed to walk to the doors of their rooms while they were talking without noticing.
'Yeah, I guess Jess. I'll see you in the morning? Good night.'
She turned and like Shalimar gave Jesse a kiss. However, slightly different to Shalimar's kiss, it was passionate and full of love. He lifted his hand and reached for the back of her head, to make the kiss more passionate. Their lips parted together as they both explored and tasted eachothers mouths. They broke apart both looking flushed and in dire need of air.
'Wow.'
'Tell me about it...Night.'
Emma walked into her room before closing her door, leaving Jesse outside still amazed at what just happened. He had just managed to gather enough energy to whisper a simple two words, unheard by anyone but himself.
'Night Emma.'
ok, whatcha think? now there are about...ooh my guess, three chapters left? they'll be up soon!!
