(A/N: sorry for taking so long to update! My computer crashed, so now all my work is on an other computer and I am on my moms lap top… I writ this all as quick as I could, and sacrificed my math grade for you guys who wanted me to update so badly... haha. Oh well… I hope its okay! I have end of year tests in a week and 3 days… so I might take a while to update… and then its holidays… and I'll be gone for 6 weeks… but I'll write it all and type it up as soon as I can when I get back. Oh, and thanks for the reviews!)

"So, have you fucked him yet?" Dopey asked as I was loading the dishes into the dishwasher.
I chocked. "What?"
"Your precious little Mafia boyfriend."
"Okay listen, A) He isn't part of the mafia, B) Italians and Russians are Mafias, and Jesse happens to be Spanish, and C) it really isn't any of your business."
"So I'll take that as a "yes"?"
"No."
"So I'm taking it as a no."
"No." I said, not wanting to give him any information whatsoever about Jesse and mine's love life. I finished loading the dishes into the dishwasher, slammed it shut and started to walk away, back up the stairs to my room.
"So what am I taking it as?" He asked, following me up the landing. Oh God. When had he become so interested in my life?
"Why should you care?" I asked, swivelling around abruptly.
"I –well, I…" He seemed lost for words.
"Exactly." I turned around and marched off, back to my room.
"If it's a no, then why can't you just say so?" He yelled after me.
Good question. Except, I really wasn't in the mood for this kind of stuff. I had a math report due for tomorrow, and I only had two hours to finish it. Yeah, and it was only 8pm, but I had other, more important stuff to do. Such as pack, and clone myself.
That's right. We're going to Rome. Today. I was already nervous, and now Dopey of all people starts interrogating me about my sex life? Not to mention the fact that I'm having PMS? Yeah, not good. So you can understand that I really didn't feel like being sympathetic towards him.
"Because, as I've said before, it really isn't any of your business, and I don't see why you need to know anyway." Which is basically the same thing. Dopey however, was too thick to figure it out. Doc however, wasn't.
"Suze, I hope you just noticed that you've just stated the same thing twice. That's called -"
Doc's voice was drowned by the sound of the telephone ringing. Thankfully, my mom picked it up downstairs.
"Anyway, as I was saying -"
"David, do we really need to hear this?"
Sleepy had joined us on the landing, on the way to Peninsula Pizza.
"I was just informing Suze that -" Doc started to say in a huff, but was interrupted yet again, only this time by Dopey.
"You were informing her very rudely, since we were happening to have a conversation." Dopey said, pissed off.
"Oh yes, a very important conversation. I'm sorry about that. I'm sure you really need to know that Suze has already made love to her boyfriend."
I choked, and turned red.
"Really?" Jake seemed highly interested, and more awake than usual. "I hope you told him to use a condom, because you really don't want to end up pregnant or with HIV."
"No, Jake. HIV is when you have too much sex."
"What's this about condoms and sex?" Andy had joined us too on the landing.
"Nothing" I said quickly, just as Sleepy and Dopey said together "Suze has been sleeping with Jesse."
That's when my mom decided it would be a good time to come up to see what all the fuss was all about.
"Suze has been what?" They said in unison.
"I MOST CERTAINLY HAVE NOT!" I exploded, still very red in the face.
"Yes you have. That's what you told me." Dopey said, clearly enjoying himself.
"No it's not. I didn't tell you anything because I didn't feel it was any of your business."
Dopey looked as if I'd just punched him in the stomach. Ha, take that. Next time, try harder to humiliate me. He looked crestfallen, and went "Oh. Well… if that's the case…" while starting down the hall way towards his room.
Doc started backing away, into his own room, and Jake made his way downstairs, leaving me alone with Andy and Mom. "Suze…" my mom started to say.
"I have not been having sex with Jesse." I said. "Do – what's-his-face… (A/N: ah! Memory loss! What's his name…? Jake… no… David… Daniel… something with a B… Benjamin… no… BRAD! THAT'S IT! BRAD!) Brad's just trying to get me into awkward situations, such as this one.
"Suze, I can understand that at your age, you are curious about sex. That's why they make porn movies. But if you ever need to talk to someone, you know we're always here to help."
Okay, you know what? I take that back, about Dopey trying harder to humiliate me. This was completely embarrassing.
"No. It's okay. Thank you anyways. But I have not been sleeping with Jesse."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. But if you do, don't forget -"
Oh great. The whole condom thing again. Hello? I go to school you know. We have health class there. And I have learnt quite a lot from movies as well.
"– to use a condom. Yes mom, I know. Now will you leave me alone so I can do my homework?"
Apparently satisfied, they left, leaving me alone on the landing.
I heard the sound of paws hitting the roof. That was strange. Spike usually never came down unless Jesse was here. Oh well. I entered my room and nearly screamed out loud.
"Jesus Christ." I said, flattening a hand to my chest. "I hate it when you do that."
Jesse grinned in response. "I think I've gotten the hang of apparating."
I stared at him, wondering how long he'd been in here.
As if reading my mind, he said "about 10 minutes."
I stared at him in horror. Uh-oh. That probably means he heard the whole conversation out in the hall way and… I didn't want to think about it.
"Uh… yeah… that means you probably heard everything, right? Sorry. Blame it all on Dopey. It's his fault."
Jesse chuckled. "Are you ready packing?"
"Um… no not exactly. I haven't started yet."
"Oh… okay. I just stopped by to tell you that there's been a change of plan. Paul decided it would be safer to get to the airport earlier, so we don't miss our flight in case something goes wrong. So we'll be here at midnight. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, sure. Anything else?"
"No, I don't think so. I got to get going though. Bye."
He started fading away.
"Oh, gee, thanks."
He became solid again.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't even get a good bye kiss?" I pouted.
Jesse grinned. "Sorry querida. I'm scared that if I kiss you, it might turn out into another one of those mini make our sessions, and that might not be very handy, what with everyone being able to come in at the wrong moment."
He started fading again, became solid again, grabbed me by the waist and kissed me roughly on the lips, for about 5 breathtaking seconds, before disappearing again, this time with a grin on his face. I grinned back. Pink lipstick really didn't suit Jesse at all.

(A/N: I know… very pointless… I feel un-inspired… all my creative talent is going down the drain as the exams approach… and I really need to study maths. Unlike Suze, I don't have a hot and extremely devoted boyfriend who can explain to me how to understand trigonometry and everything else we have covered this year in maths. And unlike Suze, I don't have enough brain capacity. Okay, enough with this self pity. Please review!)
