In her room, Jean immediately walked into her private
bathroom.
Jean started the water to her bath tub and
brushed her teeth as
she waited for the tub to fill
with hot water. Once she finished
brushing her teeth,
Jean added about half a bottle of Bubble
Bath, and
took off her green silk nightgown before she
slipped
into the bath tub, reliving the night before with
Logan.
Logan was an amazing lover. By far the best she's had.
But now
she was being harsh towards Scott. Scott was
good too, he was
gentle, but Logan… Well. He was just
amazing. Jean closed her
eyes and sank her head under
water for just a few seconds. After
she came back up
and wiped the foam off her face, she reached for
the
soap and started lathering up her arms.
Once Jean finished her bath, she drained the tub and
rinsed
the foam off her body in the shower. After the
last of the foam
slid of her body, she turned the
water off, and stepped out of the
shower before she
wrapped a towel around her slim body. She moved
in
front of the mirror, and wiped the steam off it
with her
hand before she started combing her wet hair.
Jean grabbed the
blow drier from the cabinet under the
sink, plugged it in and
started blowing her hair dry.
Once her hair was dry, she put the
blow drier away and
walked into her room.
Once Jean dressed in a pair of jeans and a dark red
t-shirt,
she wandered down to the kitchen for
breakfast. She found Scott,
Jamie and Logan already
down there, eating breakfast: pancakes.
She grabbed a
plate with two pancakes with maple syrup and a
coffee
before she joined the rest at the table.
"Where were you yesterday, Jean?" Jamie asked once
Jean
sat down at the table.
Jean glanced up at Logan before looking at Jamie.
"Shopping
with Logan and then out to eat." Jean
replied simply.
"Shopping for what?" Jamie asked. She was always
so
curious. Even back when they were kids. Maybe it's a
little
sister thing . . .
"Well, Logan
needed a tuxedo for the wedding, and I
needed a dress." Jean
replied before taking a sip from
her coffee.
"Jean! We
coulda gone shopping together!" Jamie
shrieked.
"You were
still sleeping, Jamie." Jean said, and
started eating her
pancakes.
"You
could have waited until I woke up." Jamie
protested.
Logan smirked,
watching the two bickering sisters.
"Jamie, I asked Jean
ta come with Me." he said before
taking a sip from his
coffee.
Jamie looked
at Logan, and sighed, "Fine. Whatever."
She muttered and
started eating her breakfast once
more. Jamie suddenly stopped and
looked at Jean.
"Wait!
You've never slept in, and neither does Logan."
She stated.
Jean paused
and glanced at Logan. A slight blush
touched her cheeks before she
looked at Jamie, "We
came home late." Jean replied.
Stayed up late too, she
added mentally, and then glanced back up
at Logan who
only nodded with agreement. She looked back at
Jamie
who only nodded, believing her older sister and
the
Canadian, and finished up her breakfast. Jean sighed
mentally
and started eating her breakfast once more.
Once they
finished their breakfast and coffee Jean
took Logan by the hand
and dragged him up to her room.
Once Jean
reached her destination Jean pushed Logan
into her bedroom and
locked the door behind her, so no
one could interrupt.
"Jean,
what the hell is going on?" He questioned
stumbling into the
room.
Jean leaned
back against the door and looked at Logan.
"I've been doing a
lot of thinking." she said.
Logan raised
an eyebrow in question at Jean. "And…?"
He said,
wanting her to continue.
"The way
I see it, this is my second chance at life,
and love." she
said, closing her eyes, and taking a
deep breath.
"What are
ya saying Jeannie?" Logan asked, advancing on
her, slowly.
Jean opened
her eyes, and looked at Logan, locking
eyes with him, "I want
to give us a chance." she said
in just over a whisper.
Logan stopped
in front of Jean and gently stroked her
cheek, "So do I."
he replied softly.
Jean smiled at
Logan and pulled his face down to hers
and kissed him. This was
her second chance at life,
her second chance at love, and she was
going to make
the best of it. Scott had move on, and as much as
it
hurt, she knew it was for the best. For the both of them.
And
Jean was going to move on with Logan. This was her
second
chance.
