By the way, this is slash. Nothing too intense, but still if you don't like it turn away now.
The song Jolene is of course by Dolly Parton.
Jolene
"Oh I love this song."
Jessie turned up the stereo and took to the floor with a shimmy.
Just as Jonny broke off his conversation and looked up.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
"Come dance with me Jonny." She insisted with a grin, proffering a hand.
He smiled back.
"Sure, anything for you Jess."
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Hadji sat by, half listening to the song, half watching his friends take to the floor. Jessie wasted no time in draping herself around her dance partner. Hadji felt a wrench in her stomach and shuddered, it should be him over there.
Your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Well, he thought with a wry smile, that description certainly fitted Jessie.
Your smile is like a breath of spring
your voice is soft like summer rain
and I cannot compete with you, Jolene
That too, he realised. Not quite catching what Jessie said to Jonny; only the sound of her melodious voice, and his wide grin in response. It was enough for the envy to course through Hadji. There he was thinking Jonny only smiled at like that at him.
He talks about you in his sleep
there's nothing I can do to keep
from crying when he calls your name, Jolene
ObviouslyJonny was fond of Jessie, they had grown up together. So at first this had seemed to Hadji innocent enough, they were mutual friends. Yet lately he realised Jonny was spending progressively more time with, and talking to, Jessie. In a less than platonic way too. Which could only mean one thing, and that thought was killing Hadji.
And I can easily understand
how you could easily take my man
but you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
There was nothing untoward about Hadji and Jonny being close. No one however, would suspect the way Hadji felt about his friend.
He had not let that show. Wanting to be certain of his feelings before making a move. Now he knew for sure. He wanted him.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Jonny twirled Jessie, and dipped her. She giggled, and Hadji faced the horrible thought that maybe he had left it too late.
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
Dr Quest came in, saw Jessie and smiled.
"Mind if I cut in?" He asked.
"Ah come on, the song's nearly finished." Jonny said
"Wow never realised I was so popular." Jessie laughed "You can have the next dance. That be ok?"
"Wellalright then."
He took a seat pacified.
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
'This is ridiculous' Hadji thought abruptly. Here I am pining my heart away, with nothing to show for it. It's absurd. I must talk tothem andsettle everything once and for all. Maybe she isn't that interested in him, or vice versa. (he couldn't bare to consider that Jonny wouldn't want him) One can only hope, either way I'll be able to reconcile this. And we'll know where we stand.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
