DISCLAIMER: Meg Cabot owns all! But I own the plot.

Yeah... I don't know where I'm going with this Tad thingy. It just popped in my head and I'm going along with it. So, yeah. you won't know what happens til I do:-p. Thanks for the great reviews. Now, I think I've kept you hanging long enough, so here it is.


Suze's POV

"Oh my God, Tad? What happened?" I asked him, once I finally remembered to breathe. I mean, really, how would you react when a guy that you havn't seen in 5 flippin years shows up in your boyfriend's living room, and also happens to have bitten the dust? Shock, would be the final answer.

He looked a little surprised as well, which gave me a feeling that he died within a few hours at the most. "You can see me?" Oh, my goodness. That quote is infamous. I swear I hear it on a weekly basis.

"Yes, I can. The less you ask, the happier you will be. Now will you tell me what happened? Were you in an accident?" I said. He probably didn't want to talk about it, but hey, inquiring minds want to know.

"My damn uncle! That's what happened! There was hardly anything accidental about it. And he didn't even have another elaborate plan in doing it. He just shot me." He told me, as he began to pace. Tad was fuming. But really, can you blame the guy? I slumped back in the couch, my jaw droping somewhere near the floor. Silly me, I thought he was gone for good. But he was never declared dead, just missing.

"And I'm pretty sure he's after you too." Tad finished, a little quieter then before. In my complete and total shock, I almost forgot about Jesse, who wraped an arm around me. I looked back up at Tad, who had finally stoped pacing. I noticed that he was beginning to dissapear, for good. And then it hit me. He was moving on because he had to warn me.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I said, kind of awkwardly. "Thanks for telling me." But before he was able to say anything. His prone body dissapeared completly. And that's when the water works came. Seriously, I'm such a freakin cry-baby. He was a nice guy, and didn't deserve to die like that. But not only that, I was next on Marcus's list.

Jesse pulled me tighter in the embrace, whispering soothing spanish into my hair. "I won't let anything happen to you. You know that right?" He finallyasked me, in english.

I nodded, lifting my head to look into his deep brown eyes. Jesse's hand lifted to my cheek to wipe away some of the water. "I know." I told him. My heart was pounding during the connection our eyes had. It broke when I leaned up to give him a full kiss on the lips. And, as always, fireworks were going off. It didn't last long though since he pulled away, gazing into my eyes.

And then I remembered my little rant that I had. Crap. Me and my big mouth.


Jesse's POV

Susannah became very intrested in her hands as I began to speak. "Querida, I love you so much. I just don't trust myself, I guess. It's probably the 19th century in me, but I just have to stop myself before things go too far."

She nodded, looking up at me. "I know. But you don't have to apoligize for kissing me. I mean, were engaged. You don't have to be sorry about kissing me." Susannah smirked slightly as I pulled her into my arms. She leaned against me, her head on my shoulder as my arm was wrapped around her waist.

I kissed the top of her head before whispering into her hair. "Amo usted, Querida. Siempre y siempre." a/n: translation: "I love you, Querida. Always and forever." We sat in silence, simply enjoying eachother's company. About 5 minutes later, I noticed that her breath had slowed down. I looked down and saw that her eyes were closed. I moved as slowly and gentlyas I possibly could in picking her up.

The couch we were sitting onwas hardly suitible for sleeping. It itches. So I brought her to my bed and laid her down gently, pulling the covers over her. After making sure my apartment wouldn't burn down from all the candles, I joined her. My arm draped across her body. It made me feel better. I felt as if I was protecting her. There is no way I will let that madman take her from me.


Blah... That chapter is el crappo in my opinion.

Anywho, I've been tossing around the idea of doing 2 sequals after this, making it a trilogy of sorts. The second partwill probably be a sexy honeymoon in Hawaii with a but load of ghosts interuppting it. And thethird partwill most likely be the first pregnancy.

Please review and tell me what you think. I'll give you a chocolate bunny if you do:-D. HAPPY EASTER!
