Chapter 3

After I realized I wasn't hallucinating, about Jesse being there I mean, I ran as fast as I could in 3' heels and jumped into his arms. He gracefully caught me, and we proceeded to hug and then kiss. He blushed a little after we kissed, because he isn't exactly a big fan of P.D.A.

After he stopped blushing and put me down, he told me that Adam had invited him to come to the mall with us, because Adam didn't want to walk around and shop alone.

"Ahh, poor Adam doesn't want to look like a little loner out in the big scary mall" I teased.

"No, I just prefer to have company while I shop…so…I can get someone else's opinion on stuff before I buy it" he retorted.

"Sure" CeeCee said mimicking my teasing voice.

As Jesse and I climbed into the back seat of Adam's VW bug, I noticed Jesse was checking me out. This only added to my happiness, and I couldn't help but flash Jesse a sexy smile. That is, until he sat down beside me and began looking awkward. "Querida, what are you wearing?"

I looked down at my outfit and couldn't find anything to complain about. My green/black mini skirt wasn't sporting any stains. My black leather, designer pumps weren't scuffed up. And my emerald halter top was still perfectly clean, which was a small miracle. After mentally checking off all my items of clothing, I simply shrugged my shoulders and took out my compact to touch up my make up.

"Susannah" Jesse growled in a very protective, almost big brother tone. "Your shirt is missing the sleeves, and your skirt, if you can even call it that is much to short."

"Jesse, we've gone over this. My shirt is not missing sleeves, this is the style of it, and my skirt is actually long for a mini skirt" I replied in my sexiest, most confident sounding voice.

After that he dropped the whole thing, and pulled me into him so that I was leaning against his chest, and my head was resting on one of his broad shoulders. Basically, I was in heaven. Not that I would choose to spend my after life, or whatever it is we get, in a VW bug. Although if Jesse was there with me, I think I could handle it.

During the rest of the short drive to the mall, CeeCee kept turning in her seat and asking me how I'd come up with the idea for our costumes. I completely ignored her and concentrated on Jesse's breathing. It really still amazes me that Jesse is alive. Sometimes I wonder if any second I could wake up from this perfect dream, and all will be as it was before I went back through time, but then I actually do wake up and Jesse calls me to see how I slept.

Just then my oh-so-happy thoughts were interrupted when Adam parked, and CeeCee yanked me out of the car. She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the mall before I could even tell Jesse I'd see him later.

After coming to terms with my rude and rapid separation from Jesse, CeeCee and I entered a weird store that sold mostly make-up and hosiery. I chose a vibrant pair of hot pink fish nets, while Cee opted for a regular pair of nude nylons. We then selected our make-up and went to pay, where upon we exited the store in search for our various other necessities.

We walked into a quaint little store called 'If the Shoe Fits', and began hunting for the perfect shoes. I found a cool pair of stilettos that were pink and an odd see-through, silver color. Cee also found some stilettos, but hers were red and shiny. After purchasing our lovely shoes, we then made our way to lingerie boutique, but were spotted by Adam and Jesse as we were dashing inside.

I was looking through the sale rack when I noticed a hot pink top that had corset detailing all over it, and was just my size. I held it up for CeeCee to see, but just then Jesse and Adam strolled into the store. I ran back to the changing area and called Cee on her cell to let her know where I was and to come help me put the top on.

After helping me figure out how to put it on, Cee stepped out of the booth so I could actually put it on. I stepped out feeling really powerful and sexy, and saw how great the top looked on me, in the floor length mirror. The top barely covered my boobs, which actually looked a lot bigger, and didn't cover any of my stomach.

"Damn!" Adam said as he, CeeCee, and then Jesse stared at me with big eyes. After about 10 seconds of drooling, Jesse rushed over to me and pushed me back into the little changing booth. "Querida what is…this!" he questioned looking alarmed and then slightly embarrassed, because when he'd spoke his hand gestured toward my top, and accidentally smacked my left boob. I pretended not to notice, and calmly replied "Jesse, chill, it's just a top. I'm gonna wear it for Halloween, to this party we all got invited to."

"You are going to wear that in front of other people!" he snapped.

"Well, I could just wear it in front of you" I responded in a sexy voice, and then kissed him lightly, to help keep his mind off the skimpy top I was still wearing.

"Querida, I just…I…uhh…never mind" he finally said giving up and kissing me back a little harder than I had just kissed him. Well this lead to deeper kisses, and hands roaming. Which lead to kisses of the French variety, and then Jesse fumbling with all the corset detailing. He finally found the side zipper, and peeled the top off me. He then threw it to the side, and let his hands get familiar with my breasts. We were both breathing very heavily, and moaning as Jesse explored my chest, and I nibbled lightly on his earlobe, which drives him crazy I realized.

"Hey, you guys okay in there?" Adam asked gently knocking on the little door.

"Yeah, we're fine. Just give us a little bit" I panted.

"Oh…ah...ok." CeeCee and Adam responded.

After about 15 more minutes of fondling each other Jesse and I just stood in the booth and held each other. He smiled down at me and gave me one last lingering kiss, before he handed me my bra and halter, and then searched for his shirt as well. He found his shirt, put it back on, and then proceeded to slide out of the booth cautiously.

I let my breathing return to its normal rhythm and then stepped outside the booth carefully holding the hot pink top in one arm while absent-mindedly searching through a rack. I looked up and noticed that Jesse and Adam were gone, while CeeCee was examining a really hot outfit on a mannequin. I walked over towards her and stood beside her staring at the white mini skirt that barely covered anything, and a red lacey bra. I collected both items in her size, and even matched a cute see-through sweater thing with it. She went and tried them all on and then modeled for my approval. On our way to the register I snagged some really cute, really short, black hot pants in my size, and then joined CeeCee to go pay.

When we finished paying Cee and I went to meet up with the boys at some juice bar CeeCee heard was good. When we arrived we dumped our stuff into a little booth and then went to go order all our drinks. As we made our way back to the table Adam and Jesse appeared, each carrying a plain white bag and smiling oddly at us.

"So…what did you two buy?" Cee questioned, trying to get a peek into Adam's bag.

"Just a little something" Adam said moving his bag away from CeeCee and mines reach.

"Oh really" I said looking up at Jesse. I knew he would be easier to break than Adam, seeing as how I am his girlfriend.

"It just so happens that we too bought a little something" I said very seductively. CeeCee and I both began giggling together and then finally stopped when Jesse said, "We'll so you two what we bought, if you show us what you lovely ladies purchased."

CeeCee and exchanged quick glances, and then agreed only if they showed us first, but we had no intention of opening up our bags.

First Adam carefully opened his bag and took out the ugliest mask I'd ever seen. "Oh, sorry that's for my little cous" he added. Then setting aside the mask, he took out a see through plastic bag with a black handle and cardboard picture on the front. "Big Poppa Pimp" CeeCee and I read aloud together, and then started laughing hysterically after realizing this was his Halloween costume. Adam blushed slightly and then put his stuff back into the white bag. Next, Jesse opened up his bag and gently lifted out a pale green, fuzzy bear. Around its cute little neck, a ribbon was tied, and that ribbon had words embroidered on it. "Querida te amo por siempre" the ribbon embroidery read. I didn't know what it meant, but it had to be something good, so I jumped up and kissed Jesse lightly after he handed me the little stuffed bear.

"Oh…yah…huh" Adam mumbled quickly pulling out an equally adorable pale purple bunny and handing it to Cee. She looked bewildered for a moment, which seemed to make Adam nervous, but what she did next sure made him happy. CeeCee grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him towards her so she could kiss him right on the lips. After oh, about 2 minutes they finally broke apart and smiled bright at each other.

Adam then looked over at Jesse at mouthed the word 'thanks' to him.

"Thanks for what?" I asked, looking up at Jesse.

"Nothing really, just giving my honest opinion about something he was going to buy" Jesse said smiling back down at me.

"So, what did you two buy?" Jesse asked shyly.

"Oh, nothing really. Just a couple little knick-knacks" Cee and I managed to get out with a straight face, while quietly pushing our bags under the table.

The lady at the front bar finally called our order number and we picked up our drinks, so we could leave to crowded mall.

Jesse and I snuggled in the back seat until Adam pulled up in front of his apartment complex. I had told my mom that CeeCee and I were going to be out shopping and then I'd stay over at her house for the weekend. So, naturally I went with Jesse up to his apartment, and then called my mom on my cell to tell her how shopping went. She was happy I finally had my costume taken care of, and then said she had to go help with dinner. Apparently Andy wasn't too happy about me staying over at a friend's house, and missing a family meal, but my mom said she'd take care of him.

"So, what exactly did you have in mind when you said I could stay over?" I asked Jesse trying to remain calm.

"Oh, you know. I thought we could watch movies, order in, and then see where it goes from there" Jesse answered with a hint of mischief in his voice.

"Well, we could do that…or I could model my Halloween costume for you" I said, confidence oozing from my voice.

"That sounds nice" Jesse said, shyness creeping into his voice.

I ran into Jesse's bed room to change, and was done in record time.

"Jesse" I called sweetly from behind the door. "You have to give me your honest opinion, ok?"

"Okay" he said.

I opened the door slowly revealing myself, in my barely there costume. I just loved his reaction. He stood there staring at me with his mouth wide open.

"Que-…querida, I think you look very…very…" he trailed off.

"Very what, Jesse?" I asked walking slowly towards him. I circled him and did a little turn in front of him. "You like?" I asked innocently.

"Uhh…yes…it's very…uhh…flattering" he finally got out.

I don't what it was about this outfit, but when I'm wearing it, I feel sexy and in control. I wasn't nervous to have Jesse looking at me, in fact all I could think about was how much I wished he would rip my clothes off, and take me. I wanted him to mumble sweet nothings in my ear. I needed to hear him whispering Spanish, like he always does when we get into heavy make out sessions. But most of all, I felt like I needed him. I needed Jesse to take me; all of me. To call me his, and tell me how much he needed and loved me too. So…

I went over to his couch, sat down and patted the space next to me on the couch. Jesse came right over, and looked very shocked when I sat in his lap and straddled him. I grazed my lips on his, and then nibbled gently on his ear. He let out a moan that reverberated throughout his entire body, and mine. Jesse lifted my chin with his thumb and forefinger towards his mouth, and kissed me passionately. Again he became confused by all the corset detailing, until he finally found the zipper and took the top off me. I decided to even things out, clothing wise, so I pulled his shirt off of him, and began kissing my way down his chest. I came back up and kissed him with all the passion I'd had to hide before. I let out all my pent emotions that night, and so did he.

We never got farther than second base, unfortunately, but that was okay with me. Jesse was already doing stuff he didn't think was proper, but I think he liked some of our modern day customs.

After we were both exhausted, Jesse ordered pizza and popped in a movie. When the pizza got here, I went to open the door but quickly recognized the voice on the other side of the door.

"Oh shit! Jesse, it's Jake! He's delivering the pizza. I can't open the door, he'll see me and tell my mom and Andy I'm not at CeeCee's" I said panic obvious in my voice. I also didn't think he'd like what I was wearing; Jesse button down shirt, with only my underwear and bra underneath.

"Querida don't worry, just go hide out in the kitchen, and I'll get the pizza" he said calmly.

He opened the door, and was immediately greeted by one of Jake's classic 'I think I know you' stares.

"Hey…Jake" Jesse said checking over his shoulder to make sure I wasn't in sight.

"Hey, Jesse, right?" Jake asked.

"Yah"

"Oh yeah, your Suze's boyfriend, huh?" Jake questioned.

"Um, yes, that would be me" Jesse said getting noticeably uncomfortable.

"Oh, well here's your pizza. Um…are you eating all by yourself?" Jake said looking around.

"Uh, no I've got a friend coming over" Jesse mumbled, handing Jake the money for the pizza.

"A chick?" Jake asked, using his over-protective, big brother voice.

"Umm…well yes" Jesse admitted.

"Are you cheating on my sister!" Jake demanded, looking like he wanted to hurt Jesse.

"No, no I would never do that. I love Susannah too much to hurt her like that" Jesse said.

I couldn't help myself; I jumped out and hugged Jesse without even thinking. Jake was shocked, but relieved I could tell.

At first he got all over-protective big brother on me, but then decided to be nice and let this one time slide as long as it never happened again. I think he meant getting caught; not staying over at Jesse's, but maybe that was just me.

Well after Jake left, Jesse and I fell asleep watching a movie and snuggling on the couch. I fell asleep with a grin on my face, and had a feeling I'd wake up with one too, but I didn't care how dorky that sounded because I was with Jesse and all was perfect that night.
