"So, now that they're gone, waddaya wanna do?" Lexa asked standing whilst uncomfortably playing with her fingernails. The conversation that they had earlier had grown some tension between them.
"I was gonna update the mutant profiles we have, check for any anomalies etc." Jesse said and walked off to the computer.
So I guess he's still a little mad, Lexa thought as she walked back to her room feeling upset. In Lexa's room, she began reading her book, but couldn't quite get into it while her mind toiled over Jesse.
Earlier he had asked her if their one-time thing had meant anything to her, but Lexa wasn't sure. Of course she liked Jesse, he was irresistible with his smile and the way he looks at her sometimes… But something held her back. For so long she had been searching for her brother, risking anything and anyone to find him; having no emotional attachments. Now that she had lost her brother, she had lost herself. Leo was her life for so long, it's hard to become someone else overnight.
In the mall, when Lexa had begun to break down in front of Jesse, he'd taken her aside and comforted her as best he could. Before either of them knew it, they were kissing passionately, but fiercely. She could feel his hunger for her inside of him, a side of Jesse anyone rarely saw. This both terrified and excited Lexa. She could blame their 'time together' on grief, tell herself that it meant nothing, but that wouldn't be fair to Jesse. She did care for him, she just didn't know how deeply. She needed time to figure it out.
