DancinSweethart- It's South to me! (And where ((in my mind)) Where Suze lives, used to that it.

nikki007- I'm glad you like it!

After we walked back to where the picnic was set up, Jesse pulled me into one of those yawning, putting his arm around me things. We just stayed that way for a couple of minutes.

"Jesse?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"'I dunno know, I like you, and I thought you liked me too…"

"Oh, I do, but why did you avoid me for three months?"

"I was scared."

"What? Why?"

"You know what? I have no idea. I guess it was because what I wanted was always out of my reach. Me, and you together over the summer was great (A.N: GO JESSE! LOL!), but it was only for a little while. I guess that's why I stayed away, I still wasn't used to the fact that you weren't leaving in a few weeks. And after that I wouldn't see you again."

"Well I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to the beach this summer, but I'm not moving."'

"What? No! You have to come to the beach"

"Why?"

"It's the only place where we can be really alone." Did he just say what I thought he said? Let's see/hear that again. 'It's the only place where we can be really alone.' 'Really alone.' HA he did say that, just checking… "Here, there's your mom, and dad, then there's my mom, brother, and sister, also we have to be at our houses by 10:00. At the beach we can stay out until 11:30, and we are really alone," Ha he said it again! "no parents, no brothers, no sisters."'

"Yeah, but what can I do?"

"Come with me."

"Come with you where?"

"To the beach, you can stay with me, and my family."

"I dunno know. If I was gonna go back to the beach I'd take a day off to go up and see all of my old friends, and hang out up there. If they knew I was going back up their way, they'd be mad if I didn't go up to see them."

"Well maybe, for a week, you and your mom could get a house and go up to see your old friends for a day." He said with a lot hope in his voice.

"My mom couldn't stay for just a week, you know she loves the beach to much (A.N: Yeah she does - luv you mom!)."

"Yeah, but I want you there with me this summer."

"Let me figure it out, we still have eight months."

"OK, but I'm really happy you're here Querida." He said into my hair.

"Me too."

That's when it happened. He kissed me, not some little peck on the cheek either, it was a long and hard kiss, (A.N: even thought we know that our Jesse would have never done this. Hehehe) and if it wasn't 9:55 it would have gone longer.

Please R&R PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
