Thunderstorm – Chapter 3
Hey people, I apologize for my lack of updating but I have had a small case of writers block and couldn't think of an update, but here it is so read and review!
Note: I do not own Mutant X.
After Jesse and Brennan had finished their business in bed, they went for a shower and went to the kitchen for breakfast. The lovers entered and sat down at the table with the rest of the team. On the table was a pile of presents and a plate full of cooked pancakes, sausages and bacon (Jesse's favourite breakfast in the world).
"Thanks guys," Jesse said with a huge grin permanently plastered to his face.
"No problem Jesse, now eat up and open the presents already," Adam replied. Jesse eyed the presents, wishing more than anything for x-ray vision; he had always had this thing for peeking at his presents before he got them. Jesse didn't waste any time devouring every scrap on the plate, the others watching with amazement at how much Jesse could consume in such a short amount of time.
Jesse turned to the presents with a hungry look in his eyes that Brennan tried hard not to laugh about. Jesse picked up a large box with a tag on it saying,
"To my boy, happy birthday – Shal," Jesse ripped off the wrapping and laughed, inside was the biggest box of chocolate truffles he had ever seen. Jesse was tempted to open them there and then but decided against it considering his stomach was already on the verge of bursting due to his large breakfast.
"Thanks Shalimar, I should have guessed you would get something like that," Jesse said happily,
"Ah, but there is more," Shalimar said, pulling the huge teddy bear out from under the table. Jesse laughed againand took the bear from Shalimar, even at arms length, he could smell the scent of chocolate emanating from the cuddly toy. Jesse put the bear at his feet and moved on to the next present, it was from Emma, he could tell it was from her by how neat it was, only Emma could manage something like that. Jesse pulled the long rectangular package towards him and gently eased the wrapping off the plain blue box. He opened it and this time he gasped for real, inside was a classic, solid gold Rolex watch. Jesse recognized it instantly; he had seen the watch in a catalogue and had fallen in love with it a few months ago. It came with a $75000 price tag.
"Aw, thanks Em, it is so nice," he said joyfully, he was doing well for himself this year he thought.
Jesse put the watch on his wrist carefully and looked at the remaining present, it was really really small and wrapped tightly. Jesse looked at the tag attached, it read,
"To Jesse, have fun with this – Adam". Jesse looked up at Adam but he merely grinned and Jesse looked down at the package, with a smile, he took of the wrapping and opened the box. Jesse thought he was going to faint, inside was the key with the insignia of BMW on it. Jesse looked up at Adam but was at a loss for words. "Go and see it," Adam said simply. Jesse got up quickly and ran to the garage. Upon arriving, Jesse thought his knees were going to give in on him. Sitting in front of him was a black BWX X5 series (a 4x4 that came out in 2004 – my favourite car in the world) with black tinted windows and full black bodywork, just as Jesse had wanted since he had first set his eyes on the car of his dreams, he had an Audi and stuff but they didn't even compare to this – this was like a gold mine to Jesse. H walked up and opened the drivers' door; inside the car was full of black leather and oak panelling. Jesse breathed in the scent of new leather and couldn't wait to take it out for a spin. Jesse turned to the now assembled group and couldn't think of anything to say, he had been giving some really awesome gifts this year and could not express his happiness vocally, he walked up to Adam and gave him a hug, then Shalimar, and then Emma. Jesse turned to Brennan,
"Ah ah ah, you will have to wait until tonight for your present from me, while we are out at dinner" Brennan said, waggling a finger in front of Jesse and looking severe. Jesse just smiled and pulled Brennan in for a kiss,
"I think I can occupy myself until then," Jesse said with a wink.
Several hours later…
Brennan walked hand in hand with Jesse to Jesse's new car, which they would be driving to the restaurant, Jesse was shivering in anticipation of what was sure to be an amazing drive. He opened the door reverently and got in, his bottom immediately sinking into the comfortable leather, Brennan was having an equally good time, this car having plenty of room for his long legs.
The drive to the restaurant was uneventful but Jesse loved every minute of it, he was driving an amazing car with the guy he loved right next to him. Jesse pulled up at Guiliano's, the Italian restaurant Shalimar had suggested to Brennan. The place had a very comfortable and happy atmosphere with many couples scattered around the candle lit tables, soft Italian music played in the background and Brennan could tell it was Mozart – he may not let it on but Brennan like classical music quite a lot.
Brennan and Jesse sat down and looked at the Menu's. Jesse opted for a pasta dish for starters with a large pepperoni and ham pizza for the main course, with some chocolate ice cream for his dessert. Brennan picked the same except he had mint choc chip ice cream instead of chocolate. He also ordered a bottle of wine for him and Jesse. They chatted casually all the way through dinner and after coffee, decided to head back for Sanctuary. Once there, they went into the arboretum and sat on the platform, watching the Japanese fish swim in the water. Brennan shuffle round so that he was in front of Jesse, and leaned in for a kiss, which Jesse immediately moved into, but Brennan broke off prematurely.
"Jesse, I know we haven't been together for a long time, but I love you with every fibre of my being – so I was wondering…" Brennan produced a small box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a ring – an engagement ring,
"I was wondering if you would marry me?" Brennan said, slipping the ring onto Jesses' finger.
Jesse looked down at the ring, he was shocked, had Brennan just proposed to him, Jesse began to get dizzy and tried to focus on that moment, the perfect moment – and he knew his answer in a second, looking up at Brennan, Jesse said,
"Yes, of course I'll marry you Brennan, I love you". Jesse leaned forward and kissed Brennan deeply.
Well there you go people…review and I will update soon (hopefully).
