Ok on with the story....NOW! weeeee

I heard Susannah say, "Fine. God, whatever Jesse. I'm taking my shower now." She then heaved a huge sigh, grabbed her clothes and ran out of the room like she couldn't bare to be around me a second more. I think her slamming the door as hard as she could also proved that.

How is it that the woman I love so dearly can turn my day from worse to hell in less than an hour?

Chapter 3

Suze POV

I was standing in my bathroom waiting for the shower water to heat up. I was thinking of Jesse of course...how can I not be after what just happened. I felt a little bad for leaving him in my room like that. I just couldn't stand being near him for any longer. I knew if I stayed, I would have done something that I would have regretted.

I put my robe on and started to brush my hair. I thought to my self, "I need some serious help. I fell in love with Jesse, a ghost. I really have the worst of luck." I looked into the mirror and nearly had a heart attack because there stood Jesse.

"Jesse! Oh my god! Don't scare me like. Why are you in my bathroom?"

He looked as confused as I felt, but as I soon found out, for a different reason. He kept turning around and looking all over the room as if it was the first time he had ever been in there. It wasn't, the first time I mean, because he had helped me with my mushroom feet and various other wounds.

Why did you call me, Querida? It doesn't look like you need any help," he said in a perplexed voice. I was confused even more by his words, but then it hit me. He called me Querida again! Maybe he isn't mad at me anymore. Wait...what does he mean I called him? I don't remember doing that. I mean, I know I have called him before but all the other times I called him I said his name out loud. I didn't say his name out loud so...crap! I think I just made myself even more confused.

"What do you mean I called you? I didn't call you, Jesse. And even if I did, I think I would know, right?"

He just shook his head and said, "Querida, I clearly heard you call 'I need some serious help, Jesse.' So, here I am, and there you are, but there is no trouble, so why did you call me?"

I let out another frustrated sigh and replied, "What the hell are you talking about?" Hmmm, very mature, Suze. I know, but he was starting to piss me off again.

"Susannah! Language please. I know what I heard, and I have to come when a mediator, well, at least when you do."

"Hmm, and why is that, Old Wise One?" I asked kinda sarcastically.

He then sorta half smiled at me which made me go all squish again, and said, " I have to come because if I don't, I know I would have to put up with an angry Susannah, which is something even I am not brave enough to mess with. You can punch very hard Querida."

This remark shocked me a lot. It just wasn't a Jesse thing to do. Wait, making fun of me is a Jesse thing to do. When I got over the shock- which only lasted a few seconds- I started cracking up. Seriously, I was laughing so hard I bet that Jesse thought I had gone mental or something. He started laughing too, but not nearly as hard as I was. I couldn't even stand I was laughing that hard, so I reached out and grabbed the closest thing for support. You know, I was hoping for the sink or something, but oh no, I had to grab on to Jesse. Yep, Jesse. This seemed to shock him just a little, but he didn't say anything because we were still laughing. Before I could say 'sorry' or something, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I thought that he was just trying to be, you know, helpful or something by giving me the support I greatly need, because I still was having trouble standing. I thought this until he pulled me closer to him and lightly kissed me. On the lips. Oh. My. God.

He pulled away and chuckled softly and whispered into my ear, "I hope that you didn't mind that, Querida."

"What? Mind? Me? Nope!" I managed to squeak out. Ugh, talk about embarrassing. This made him chuckle a little louder. He then said, Good, Good," and then disappeared.

Wow he kissed me again! Three times now! Jesse kissed me again, on the lips! This must mean that he really does like me. Maybe he even loves me!! I really have an over active imagination.

Now that Jesse was out of my bathroom, I could finally take my greatly need shower. I stepped into the hot water and just thought about everything that had happened to me lately. Jesse kissing me after I saved him from the Shadow Land, Paul going to my school, Paul trying to go more than kiss me if you get my drift, Jesse and Paul trying to kill one another, Jesse kissing me, Jesse and I fighting, and Jesse kissing me again! Hmm, I would really like having more kissing and less of the fighting. My mind then wandered back to Paul and I thought, "I wonder what Paul the Demon Boy is up to now." I was just thinking about him for a minute or so until I heard something fall outside the shower curtain. I froze and stopped breathing. After about thirty seconds of just standing there and not breathing I finally had to remind myself to breath. I murmured quietly, "Breathe, Suze, breathe!" I slowly opened the shower curtain a little and peaked out. What I saw made me scream bloody murder, and I was very tempted to murder someone.

He looked up startled, and saw me. He then gave me his trade mark smirk which always seems to be plastered on his face. He even had the nerve to say to me, "Well, well, well. This is a very interesting position that you put us into, Suze."

TBC!!

Bwahahahaha!! Who is the smirking nerve racking man? I think that we all already know but don't you just LOOOVE cliffhangers? Enjoy! R/R
