John stood there kissing her back before he realized what he was doing. He slightly pushed her away, but not far enough to break contact.
"Why did you stop?" Jesse asked without opening her eyes.
"I was just wondering what you were doing." John said softly.
"Can't we just kiss for a while?" she asked opening her eyes.
"Because you have a habit of doing that to get out of talking." John smiled.
"I like kissing you." she laid a soft kiss on his lips. "I thought you liked it too." she pouted.
"Don't do that." he said which only made her pout more. "Come on Jes." When she didn't give in he gave up. "Alright, you know that I love kissing you. I just want to know why you are doing it in the hallway."
Jesse slipped out of the grasp that John had her in. "You asked me this morning if I wanted to have you teach me on how to be a girlfriend."
"Yeah, what about it? You said no." John went to hold her again.
Jesse let him. "Well I thought about it and I decided that I would give it a try." she smiled.
"Are you serious?" John almost exploded.
"Did I stutter? Yes I want you to teach me."
"You understand that you will have to be public with me?" John wanted to make sure.
"Did I not kiss you openly in the hallway?" she smiled. "Now if you don't mind I want to go back to the hotel."
"Oh hell yeah!" John exclaimed pulling her into the locker room to get his stuff.

One week later....
John walked into the arena with Jesse at his side. He smiled as he slipped his arm around her waist pulling her close to him. Jesse came home with him after the show last week and spent the week learning some girlfriend things. They still have a long way, but he is hopeful. Just having her around to kiss and hold was enough for him.
They walked to his locker room.
"I'm going to walk around." Jesse said giving him a light kiss.
"Alright come back here toward the start of the show, okay?"
"Of course." Jesse winked and walked away shaking her hips for added effect.
Jenn was happy with the way things were going. At first some of the things that John was telling her she needed to feel or do seemed stupid, but now she understood. John took her to a club last night and while he was dancing with a fan she started to get a little jealous. It shocked her because she has never felt that way before. Later she expressed the feelings to John and he told her that it was normal and not to worry because he wouldn't be with anyone else while he was teaching her. Jesse still feels a little weird about only being with John, but the fact that it's the only man to make her want to settle down makes up for it.
"Jesse!" Charlie yelled. Jesse waited up for him. "You won't believe what happened to me this weekend."
Jesse looked at him. "What?" she asked a little nervous.
"Kelly and I settled down." Charlie beamed.
"Kelly?" Jesse thought. Then it hit her. "My friend Kelly?"
"Yeah. She came home with me this weekend and well.."
"Damn that's too bad. I was just looking for you because I came to my senses and decided to get with you." Jesse grinned.
"Oh, it's not too bad. I told Kelly that if you ever wanted to be with me then I could and she couldn't be mad."
"Damn." Jesse said.
"So what happened to you this weekend? I saw you walking in with John."
Jesse smiled. "I took your advice and he is teaching me."
"I take it that it's going good?"
"Yeah, but I still don't feel right. There is something wrong. It's almost like it was when I was with Mark. I just don't want John to get all attached."
Charlie was a little taken back. "What do you mean it's like it was with Mark?"
"Mark got too involved. He asked me to marry him once. We didn't last too long after that."
"You don't think that John could be the one that you settle down with? I mean you are not sleeping with anyone anymore are you?"
Jesse shook her head. "No, but I don't know. I just don't want to me tied down just yet."
Charlie nodded over her shoulder and a second later she felt two muscular arms go around her waist. Jesse didn't have to turn around to know that it was John.
"Hey John." Charlie said.
"Hey." John lowered his lips to Jesse's neck. After laying a kiss there he spoke. "Jesse the show's going to start in two hours do you want to head back to the hotel or stay here?"
"I think that I'll stay tonight. To make sure that Charlie doesn't cheat on Kelly." she grinned not looking at John.
"Okay baby." John kissed her neck again. "Let's head back to the locker room to get a drink."
"Alright. I'll see you later." she said to Charlie and headed down the hall arm and arm with John.
Charlie watched her go. He knew that deep down Jesse was falling for John, and she wouldn't admit it. He hoped for John's heart that she would before it was too late.

Sorry for the long lack of updating. I have had major writers block on this story. I know it was a lame chapter and in the next one I promise to have more heat and drama in it. Until then please tell me what you think.
