Chapter 3: Jealousy
Jesse was trying to concentrate on the beautiful woman in front of him, but all he could think of was Lexa. Why did she have to show up here? He was having such a good time until she arrived. Maybe she would take a hint and leave!
Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to find Lexa smiling seductively at him. "Hey hot stuff! I've been looking all over for you." She then looked at Jordyn. "I'm sorry did I interrupt something? I just haven't seen Jesse lately and had to say hi. You don't mind if I cut in do you?" Lexa pushed the woman aside before she had a chance to object.
"Lexa, what the hell do you think you are doing?" Jesse demanded.
"You're going to make a scene, just keep dancing and I'll explain." A slow song came on and Lexa pressed herself against Jess and started to sway to the music.
His mind was reeling from a combination of alcohol and Lexa's scent. What is going on here? Was this real, or was she just messing with him again?
"I need to get some air!" Jesse pushed past Shalimar and Brennan towards the exit, with Lexa right behind him.
"Let him be Shal." Brennan stopped her from following. "They need to figure things out themselves."
The cold air hit Jesse like a much-needed slap in the face and his mind began to clear. "Why did you do that Lexa?"
"I wanted to dance with you." She took a step towards him.
"You couldn't see that I was already dancing?" He shouted, taking a step back from her.
"I just thought you should be dancing with me, not some woman that you just met."
"What gives you the right to decide that?"
"I figured after the other night, that we had an understanding." Lexa reached up and touched his face.
"What are you talking about!? You haven't even said more than two words to me before tonight."
"I'm sorry Jesse, but you know how I am. I just don't know how to express my feelings and needed some time to think. I didn't think it was that big of a deal." "You know what Lexa? Maybe you should decide exactly what you want, because I am tired of playing your games! When you figure it out – you know where to find me!" Jesse stormed into the night.
