"Don't you have anything with you?" Lex asked Jesse as the three of them entered the penthouse. Jesse glanced around. The place looked, if possible, a bit like Sanctuary. He cast a questioning glance at Lexa, who nodded. Jesse couldn't believe it. Lexa had always made it seem as if she hated Sanctuary and now she decorated her home to look like it.

"Should I?" Jesse responded. Lex looked at him with her blue eyes like he was insane. Then he remembered that he was supposed to be there on business. "The airline lost my luggage," he quickly tried to cover up his mistake.

"Whatever," Lex said like most fifteen year olds would. She walked down the hall, trying to keep the heavy garment bag in her hand as she walked. She opened up a door and walked in. Moment's later, loud music was playing from it.

"Does she do that often?" Jesse asked Lexa as she locked the door.

"What? Assault our guests or go to her room and listen to loud music?" Lexa replied as she walked to the kitchen. She took out a few plastic containers from the fridge, which Jesse looked at with an amused look. "What? I don't have time to cook usually."

"Both, actually," Jesse said to Lexa's question. She nodded in response as she put the food into the microwave. In a few moments, Jesse soon smelled the spicy smell of Italian food.

"I hope you still like Italian, Jess," Lexa said as the timer beeped. "Lex and I eat it a lot around here."

"I still like Italian," Jesse assured her. He noticed that once again she was calling him 'Jess' with a sort of fondness. Lexa started took three place settings out of a cabinet and walked over to the small four-person table. "Where's the cutlery?" Jesse asked, "I'll help." Lexa smiled as she pointed to a drawer. Jesse took out the proper silverware and started setting them. He did it rather quickly that he soon ended up directly behind Lexa, an awkward position.

Lexa's blue eyes locked gazes with his own and they stood that way for several seconds. How he wanted to press his lips to hers! How he had missed her taste! But he didn't want to make Lexa uncomfortable. He had agreed to the job, he would pay the consequences. Before he could move to let Lexa walk away, he felt Lexa's lips on his. Only for a fleeting second, but that fleeting second was enough for him. She still had feelings for him.

Lexa looked back into his eyes, knowing he understood what she wanted him to. Jesse saw her love for him, but he also saw fear. She was scared of letting him in once more. "I'm so sorry," Jesse whispered into Lexa's ear. As he said this, a tear ran down Lexa's cheek.

The two turned as they heard stomping. Lexa wiped the tear from her face to see Lex heading for the door. "Where are you going?" Lexa demanded. Her daughter was not about to walk out on her now.

"Why would you care?" Lex said as she unlocked the door. Lexa walked over to her and as Lex opened the door, Lexa slammed it shut. Jesse could see that Lex had changed into clothes that looked as if they were meant to travelin.

"I asked you a question," Lexa replied. "And don't you dare phase through this door!" Jesse's eyes grew large as he heard that Lex could phase. She had some of his powers. He wondered if she also shared some of her mother's.

"I'm going to Tara's house for the weekend, alright? She invited me to join them on the beach this weekend. If I want to go, it's a four hour flight so we need to leave now," Lex said,indicating the overnight bag in her hand.

"Why didn't I know of this?" Lexa demanded. She didn't like not knowing where Lex was going, especially if she wasn't even going to tell her she was leaving. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I did tell you," Lex said with an sigh. "I told you yesterday when I called you at work, but you were looking at some discussing with someone and not paying attention to me. Now can I go?"

Lexa let out an aggravated sigh, "fine, go. Have fun," she called after her daughter as she walked through the hall. Lex said nothing to her mother, or her father. Jesse felt as if Lex did not want an old friend of her mother's there. "I guess it's the two of us, then," Lexa said as she cleared the third setting.

"Why don't we do what we used to do?" Jesse asked Lexa, already clearing the other two settings too.

"Eat in bed and then make passionate love afterwards?" Lexa asked, in an sarcastic tone. They both knew that they could not do that, not yet at least. Jesse shook his head.

"No, eat and drink as we watch a movie," he said, handing her a container of food.

"You pick the DVD, I'll get the wine," Lexa said, pointing him to the den. He had yet to find his way around the huge penthouse. He walked into the den and walked over to the shelves and shelves of DVD's. He picked two, one that he was familiar while he had never heard of the other.

He sat down on the couch, placing the DVD and his food on the small coffee table next to the couch. Lexa walked in, carrying a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses. "How's merlot?" she asked, already knowing the answer. The two used to drink merlot with each other often. She handed him the glass and sat down. "What DVD did you pick?"

Jesse picked the two of them up. One was Moulin Rouge, which the two used to watch when they couldn't find anything else to watch, "we could watch this or this one," he said, picking up the other. "But I've never heard of this second one. 'Young Blades', what is it about?"

Lexa grinned, "let's watch that one." She stood up, taking the DVD's from him and placing Moulin Rouge back on its shelf. She then placed Young Blades in the DVD player and once again sat down beside Jesse.

"What's it about, Lexa?" Jesse asked again as they waited for the menu to pop up. Lexa grinned mischievously before starting to explain. "The movie is set in Pairs, France, in the time of the musketeers," she started. She knew from the look on Jesses' face that he was interested.

"The legendary d'Artagnan's son is a musketeer. He befriends a Spaniard who was banished from his family and an musketeer who has a knack for inventing things. A new musketeer one day shows up at the garrison and d'Artagnan jr. soon discovers that he is a woman by the name of Jacqueline. The whole movie is about them trying to keep her secret safe and eventually the two fall in love."

By now, Lexa had been forced to pause the movie so Jesse could hear the explanation. He reached over to Lexa and took the remote out of her hand. He pressed play and the two sat silently as they watched, eating and drinking.

Within an half hour of the movie, the two had finished their food and Lexa had found her way into Jesse's arms. Neither of them had a problem with that. She leaned her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Jesse was about to say something when Lexa put a finger to his lips to stop him. "I want to hear this line!"

Currently, in the movie, d'Artagnan was telling Jacqueline once more that she could trust him. For once, he said it in a truthful way, without any sense of flirting. Jacqueline kissed him. Jesse didn't understand why Lexa liked this part so much, and then he heard their dialogue.

'D'Artagnan: Wow, that was-

Jacqueline: Almost perfect, (takes out the piece of leather that holds her hair back making her look a bit manly), now it's perfect.'

Lexa placed a kiss on Jesse's lips and whispered to him, "this is almost perfect."

A/N: That dialogue is from Karen Cliché's show, Young Blades. The episode is 'The Invincible Sword'. I just changed it to make it a movie. (I can hope, can't I? I mean I want a movie of Young Blades!) Anyway, read and review!
