Okay, I'll stop, but thank you for picking me, Lolly! Congrats to everyone else. You guys rule! (Besides, I would never thank my third grade teacher. She was just plain scary…)

Since I won, I decided to give you all one last chapter for this mini-story. Enjoy…

A/N 2: But first! Here are my responses to all my reviewers!

To reesespeices88: You should definitely check out more entries. They are all great. Thanks for the review!

To Jesse's Babe: I think Jesse knew why Suze was doing what she was doing with Paul. Or at least, that's what I was trying to convey in less than 1500 words. (laughs) Thanks for reviewing.

To genies9: Hope you get over that cold. (winks) Thanks you for the review.

Part Three:

Have I Mentioned Kissing?

I'm not daydreaming about Jesse instead of having a normal conversation with CeeCee about science. Nope, not me.

"Earth to Suze!" Adam said playfully.

Smiling, I shook my head and claimed, "I've landed. No worries."

CeeCee just rolled her eyes and replied, "Right. Were you thinking about – " She paused mid-step to stare at me – or rather who was standing behind me.

"Thinking about who?" I asked huffily.

Adam smirked and whispered sidelong to CeeCee, "'That him?"

"Uh huh," mumbled CeeCee, eyes wide.

"What are you guys muttering about…?" I grumbled before I realized they weren't paying attention to me. I peered behind me at a guy in faded black jeans and a blue t-shirt. "Oh," I gulped. The person's hair was dark and thick, and he had very deep, inky eyes.

"Hello, Susannah," said Jesse De Silva with a slight smirk.

"Oh…" was all I was able to reply until I licked my lips and gathered myself together. "Hi, Jesse. This is…umm…"

"CeeCee and Adam," finished CeeCee wryly.

"Yeah, this is CeeCee and Adam," I agreed lamely.

Damn it, Suze! You act as if you've never seen the hottie before! He's your boyfriend, you idiot!

Oh yeah. So he is. Yummm…

"It is a pleasure to meet both of you," said Jesse in that formal sexy way of his.

"Likewise, " answered Adam, saluting the other guy.

"Now, Adam and I have to go. Bye!" said CeeCee hurriedly, shooing Adam away with her.

Thanks for making the fact you guys want us to have privacy so obvious. Too bad it's the end of the school day, so there's like a hundred people in this hallway with us alone!

Oh well. Beggars can't be chooses, I guess.

"I gathered it would be fine to come walk you home," explained Jesse.

"Yeah, it's fine," I mumbled. It's SO more than fine! It's great!

"How was school?" queried Jesse.

"The usual," I laughed. "Boring…"

Grinning, Jesse started to walk with me. "Did you miss me, querida?" he teased.

Rolling my eyes, I was about to reply when Kelly Preston appeared at my shoulder. "Suze. This way!" she hissed, nodding her head towards a group of her loyal followers, including Debbie Mancuso.

I forced down the urge to groan, as I told Jesse, "One moment."

The girls were giggling insanely when I got near. "Who's that?" whispered Debbie excitedly.

"Oh," I said again that day. Such a vocabulary I have. "You mean Jesse?"

"Jesse! Such a hot name!" said a redhead eagerly.

"Well, yeah," I agreed with a smirk. Here comes the killer… "He's my boyfriend."

"WHAAAAAT?" shrieked eight distrait teenage girls. Bull's Eye!

"B-Boyfriend?" gasped Kelly.

I nodded mock-sympathetically. Haha! He's all mine, ladies!

Okay, I'm done gloating… It's so much fun though.

"Well, I have to go get back to him. Later, guys," I said.

When I returned to Jesse, he asked, "What are you grinning so widely about, Susannah?"

"Oh," – darn that word – "It's nothing."

"I'm sure," teased Jesse. He was staring down at me in a way that made my chest ache. Must find privacy, damn it!

It didn't take long. In only a few moments, we were out behind the school – not near any poison oak or people of course – making out. And, let me tell you, it was the best thing…ever. I mean, isn't it most teenage girls' goal to have a boyfriend who loves and protects them and wants to be with them…forever? At least, I think Jesse wants to. Be together forever, I mean.

Well, there's one way to find out. Face burning, I leaned away from Jesse and made eye contact with him. How to put this…? Umm…

"Jesse?" I began nervously.

"Yes, Susannah?" Jesse murmured. I could just make out a little smile playing on his lips. He knew what I was trying to say!

"I love you," I squeaked. Yes, squeaked. How embarrassing…

I waited for Jesse to respond, biting my lip. Finally, he whispered in my ear, "I love you as well, querida."

It took a long time for the words to set in, but Jesse just patiently waited. After awhile, I went up on my tiptoes and pressed my mouth over his, hard. Jesse rested his hands on my waist, massaging, while I cupped his face.

This was real bliss…kissing Jesse. Forget shopping sprees and fantasies.

He was real. And all mine.

THE END


A/N: So, how was that for a conclusion to this mini-fanfic? Hope you all liked it. It was much shorter than I'm used to, but I used the word-limit for this chapter so it matched the other two. Now, please review!
