Chapter 3.
Jesse's POV:
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Suze and her cowboy"
When I saw the couple standing by my grave all I could do was gape at them. Of course that bastardo Paul was there. He is always there, where he is not wanted, but he wasn't the reason I couldn't keep my mouth closed.
"Nombre de Dios, Clara?" I cant believe it was her. I hadn't seen her for a century and a half and all of a sudden she shows up now with Paul? What in the name of God is going on?
"Hello Jesse" Clara said coyly, while she played with a coil of her curly, black hair, "long time no see."
"And who the hell are you?" That was Susannah of course. I still wasn't completely used to her up front, in your face, loudmouth attitude. She was so different from the girls from when I was alive. They had been much more quiet than Susannah, and most of them were a lot more modest than Susannah (not that I dislike the way Susannah dresses at all), but the girls from my time were also very sneaky- which is why I shouldn't have been so surprised when Clara grabbed my arm and said "I'm Clara, Jesse's fiance."
Suze's POV:
What the f? FIANCÉ?!?! I felt like I had been punched in the stomach, hard! Didn't Jesse just tell me last night that he loved me? And can ghosts even have fiances?
"Ex-fiance," Jesse said quickly, shoving Clara away from him, and gently pulling me closer to him. Ex-fiance is better but come on? How many ex- fiances could he possibly have, imean back then having even one broken engagement was like kissing your reputation goodbye!And I thought Maria was his ex-fiance, where does clarafit into the story? I told Jesse this and he said exasperatedly "Susannah, Maria was not a real fiance. My father ordered that marriage. And then when I went to break off the engagement with Maria so I could marry Clara,Clara went and married someone else behind my back." Jesse said bitterly, "and you know the rest- Maria had me murdered for daring to humiliate her by breaking off the engagement." So Jesse had'nt only broken off his engagement to Maria because he realized they were completely incompatible. He had an extra reason for ending the engagement. He had been in love with Clara. Rather
"So she is definitely an ex?" I asked, I was pretty mad that Jesse hadn't told me about this sooner. I was also kind of worried that Jesse might have some lingering feelings for Clara. Jesse assured me that, all that Clara was, was an ex, but just as Jesse gave me a quick kiss on the lips, which I happily reciprocated (this made Paul look particularly murderous, and nauseated), I heard Clara mutter that Jesse wouldn't be an ex for long. I wondered briefly what that meant, but as Jesse pulled me into an embrace I quickly forgot about it.
"Clara what on gods green earth are you doing here?" Jesse asked after he pulled away from me.
"I have been stuck in this world since my death like you have been since yours," she replied, "Paul was going to help me get to heaven or my next life or whereever I am supposed to move on to, but then you showed up, so I thought maybe we could talk." This isn't making any sense at all! Something very weird is definitely going on. I am pretty sure that Clara is hiding something from Jesse and me because Paul doesn't just help any ghost. Not when there is nothing in it for his selfish, egoistic self. Paul especially doesn't mediate ghosts. He thinks it is below him to help others. I really want to know what is going on though, because last time Paul was in cahoots with one of Jesse's ex-fiances it ended rather bad.
"So, Suze, while these two old lovers get reacquainted why don't we go somewhere else and get reacquainted ourselves?" Paul said with suggestive tone, so only I could hear. But unfortunately for Paul, I guess he wasn't quiet enough because Jesse just turned and punched him, leaving him cursing at Jesse just as the bell rang to end lunch.
sorry so short-i'll try to make the next chapters longer. u kno wat 2 do-just hit the purple button!
