A/n: For those of you who were sorta confused, Paul is aware that Jesse is
going to (well, is by now) alive. It was a small slip-up and forgot to have
Ava tell him after they met in the cemetery, so I added something in where
she told him later. Sorry, I know it doesn't make much sense, but its my
fault.
Chapter 7
Suze's POV
Jesse! Alive! It was too good to be true. We crept into my house, and I mentally ran through our story. I knocked gently on Mom and Andy's bedroom door, and waited for my mother to stumble over.
"Susie? What are you doing up? Who... who is this?" She asked suspiciously, seeing Jesse (he was, after all, wearing some very peculiar clothes and hanging around at my house at 2 am.)
"Mom, This is Jesse de Silva. Father Dom arranged to have an exchange student from Spain, but something happened and the host family can't take him anymore, and Father D. just called, and asked if we could take him and I said yes... we can, right?" I prayed silently, and Jesse stood there looking sort of weirded out... understandably, of course.
"Sure, sure... he can have Jake's room." Still half asleep and apparently unfazed by the complete stranger who showed up at her house, she went back to bed.
Jesse followed me into Jakes room. I opened a drawer and pulled out a t-shirt and boxers. "Sleep in these, and then I'll get you something in the morning for you to wear... I suppose you'll have to go to school, since we used the exchange student story." He smiled, lay down on the bed, and pulled me next to him. He kissed me softly, and caressed my face with his fingertips. I sighed, and he broke off, smiling.
"Alright, querida. Good night." I climbed out of the bed, and walked softly into my own room, changed into some PJ pants and a t-shirt, and collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, my mother barged into my room as I was beginning to wake up. "Wait. So who is that guy in Jake's room? I vaguely remember something about an exchange student, but I thought that was a dream..." I gave her a quick re-explanation.
"It is okay, right?" I almost pleaded. She gave me a suspicious, yet understanding look (even she realized he was hot!).
"Alright. I suppose you can drive him to school then, right?" I nodded, and she walked out and down the stairs to the kitchen. I took a quick shower, and got dressed in a denim skirt and blue fitted tee-shirt. Then I went over to Jake's—Jesse's—room, where he was still asleep. I sat down next to him, kicked the door shut, then leaned over him and carefully kissed his nose. His eyes fluttered open, and I grinned.
"Morning, sleepyhead." His eyes focused on my face, and he smiled. I kissed him on the lips, and he sat up. "Come on, get up and you can take a shower and get dressed." I pulled out a pair of khakis of Jakes—thank Goodness they were almost the same size—and a red polo shirt. "Wear these. The come downstairs and get some breakfast." I left, and headed down to the kitchen. My mother and Andy left for work while I was making Jesse and I scrambled eggs. He came down behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and began putting gently kisses along my neck. I giggled, and spun around. It was a shock to see Jesse wearing normal clothes. Not to say he didn't look good. He looked very good. He leaned in to kiss me on the lips, but I heard a pack of elephants stampeding down the stairs. Oh, no, wait, it was just Brad.
"Suze! Did mom get-" Seeing a complete and utter stranger standing with his hands on my waist at 8:00 in the morning actually made him speechless. "Who are you?" he asked. Jesse removed his hands from my hips
"Jesse de Silva. I am an exchange student from Spain. I am staying here for a little while." Brad shrugged, and then opened the fridge.
"Good! More orange juice!" Jesse and I shared a silent laughter as I dished out our eggs, and then went out to sit on the deck, since it was unusually unfoggy for a morning. After we finished, we sat down on the swing and I snuggled into his chest.
"I still can't believe you're alive," I murmered into him.
"Me either," he said.
"Yo Suze!" I heard Brad call. "Let's go! WE're gonna be late!" I reluctantly stood up, Jesse following. I grabbed my keys and headed over to the car. Jesse climbed in to the passenger seat awkwardly, and I remember he'd never been in a car before.
"Buckle the seatbelt," I whispered, and indicated mine. He followed suit, and we drove off.
We arrived, and Jesse got out of the car with me. I saw Cee Cee and Adam talking, leaning against a column, and Kelly Prescott and her little fan club milling around. I grabbed for Jesse's hand, squeezed it, and we headed through the gates. AS soon as we did, all the girls' hot-guy radars went off, and all of them in our vicinity looked our way. Kelly took one look and trotted over.
"Oh my God, Suze, who is this?" She chirped. "I'm Kelly. You must be new." In order to shake the hand she just offered, he had to let go of mine, which brought her attention to the fact that we were holding hands. Her eyes narrowed slightly at me, as if to say, "Are you serious? HIM? WITH YOU?!?! Yeah. Right."
"Jesse. Jesse de Silva," he responded, sort of taken aback, and shook her hand.
"So, where are you from?" She continued to chatter, and several of her ladies-in-waiting came over too.
"Spain. I'm an exchange student. I am staying with Susannah's family." Kelly smirked, clearly thinking, "I knew it. holding hands is just some foreign thing. This hot piece of Spanish ass is all mine."
Just to spite Kelly, I looked up at Jesse. "I have to go talk to Father Dominic real fast about the exchange program... meet me there in ten?" He nodded, and I leaned up and kissed him on the lips. He kissed back, and as I pulled away, the look on Kelly's face was priceless. It appeared she had just swallowed a lemon. I sauntered away, feeling triumphant.
Ava's POV
I was sitting on the edge of the fountain before school when I heard that Kelly girl excaim in a high falsetto "Oh my God, Suze, who is this?" I looked over, and my mouth dropped.
It worked.
Jesse was alive and well, looking mighty fine in some khakis and a red polo. He was certainly drawing some attention to himself, though obviously not on purpose. I watched as they continued talking, then Suze leaned up and kissed him and then walked away proudly. Jesse fought trough the hordes of admiring teenagers, and I waved him over when he spotted me. He came and sat down.
"What happened?" I asked, pretending not to have known the plan all along.
"Well, it's a very long story... Father Dominic knows more about what happened than I do. But for now, we're saying that I'm a foreign exchange student... it will make it easier for me to live with someone who knows the truth, like Susannah." The bell rang, and Jesse stood up. "I've got to go see Father Dominic. I'll see you soon, Ava." I bit my lip to keep myself from sighing at his accented, caressing way he said my name. He walked away, and I finally let a small sigh come out as the courtyard emptied of underclassmen and only a few seniors with a free first period milled around. I heard someone laughing at me, and I turned to see Paul.
"You really have got it bad." I scowled at him and hit him jokingly in the arm.
"So, when are we going to do it?" I asked, quietly.
"Not tonight... too soon. Maybe tomorrow. Suze has her shifting lesson with me restarting, so she'll be at my place... you can go over to wherever he's staying right now and give it to him then." I saw Suze coming out of Father Dominic's office with Jesse, both of whom were looking at a printout sheet. "I'll see you later." A/n: there you all go! I hope you like it. I would write more, but I just did two science projects and a lab and I'm beat, even if it is only 8:30. So, as always, Read and review and make my day! Because review seriously do make my day!
