Affairs of the Heart

Part One: High Doubts

Chapter Five

As soon, as I heard the girl left, I instantly knew it was Katie. I grabbed the dress and paid for it. Gina, Cee cee and I went out to lunch afterwards.

"Hello, earth to Suze."

"Huh?" I looked up; Gina had pulled up in front of my house. "Oh, thanks, see you guys later." I called and I got out of the car.

I walked into the house and dropped my stuff, I so needed a bubble bath and a pint of Ben and Jerry's stat. I got into the tub and soaked. This was my favorite place to this, with my warm vanilla sugar bath soap.

I knew Jesse was spending, way too much time with Katie, she was starting to like him. Grr, that blonde bitch angers me so much. Relax Suze, Jesse knows tonight is date night; he loves you, that is why he wants to marry you.

I looked at my ring; it was simple diamond, with tiny emeralds on each side. I love Jesse so much; I don't want to lose him. I won't, we love each other to much.

I heard Jesse walk in the front door, "Susannah, are you home?"

"I'm in the bath!" I called out. Jesse walked in and smiled at me.

"Stressful day?" he can read me like a book. He sat on the floor, becoming eye level.

"Some what." I said, going under to get my hair wet, and coming back up to see Jesse staring at me. "What?"

"You are so beautiful." Jesse said, looking at me with those eyes.

Oh yeah, I was melting.

"You're not bad yourself, Mr. De Silva."

"Well, are you getting ready?" Jesse asked.

"For what?"

"Don't tell me you forgot we are going out to dinner tonight." Jesse asked me with a hint of worry in his voice.

"No, it's just, never mind." I said, starting to wash my body.

"What, did you think?"

"Nothing, Jesse. Everything is fine." Giving him a smile, a fake smile that he could see right threw.

"Susannah, everything is not okay, tell me what is bothering you."

I sighed, "Jessse-I-just-really-miss-you-and-I-think-that-we-need-to-spend-more-time-together-and-I-don't-think-Katie-only-wants-to-be-friends-with-you-because-I-over-heard-her-talking-and-it-sounded-like-she-was-trying-break-us-up." I took a breath; I had just compressed that into one quick statement in one breath.

Jesse blinked and looked at me. "Querida, Katie is just my friend; she isn't going to break us up." He chuckled, and gave me a kiss on the lips. "And as for not spending time together, I am sorry that I am studying so much, I promise to be home more often now." He caressed my cheek with his calloused hand.

People, you do not know how badly I want Jesse right now.

"Thanks Jesse."

"Now get dressed, Susannah, we are going to leave soon." He said as he stood up and left the bath room.

I had finally gotten out of the tub and dressed. I did my hair and make up and all. When I walked out of the bathroom, I knew the dress was perfect.

Jesse smiled and grabbed me by the waist. "You looking stunning." He whispered in my ear.

"You, too. Come we are going to be late." I whispered back.

Dinner was so nice. It was very romantic and calming. We hadn't done this in a while. I didn't have to think about Sam, or Katie, or any other problem in my life it was great. Jesse was so sweet.

When we got home I wanted Jesse, badly.

Before we could walk inside my shoes, Jesse's jacket, and tie were off and my hair down. I threw them on the floor. I was beginning to undo his shirt when the phone rang.

"Ignore it." I said taking his shirt off him.

He picked me up and carried to our bed. He started to kiss me deep and passionate, starting at my lips and going down from there. I sighed a happy sigh as he started to unzip my dress. So here I am lying half naked on our bed, about to go all the way when the phone rings, again.

"Jesse, ignore it." I said to him as I started to kiss him on his neck. That's when I heard the answering machine. Shit.

Beeeep! "Hey, Jesse, it's Katie, I was wondering if you could come over and help me, it's important. Thanks, bye"

I laid there frozen. Katie had just ruined my night. Wasn't thinking about her or nothing. She just HAD to call, just Had to. Oh, that stupid little bitch I swear to god, when I see her next, oho.

"Querida, maybe I should call and see what she wants."

"Jesse, no, its fine. Come on." I whined.

"She said it was important."

"Jesse, your fiancé is lying on your bed half naked wanting you ever so badly." I nipped at his ear, "and you are going to call your friend, who is a girl who is not your fiancé?"

"Susannah, are you sure I shouldn't call her?"

I sat up and looked at him, "Jesse, let me put it this way, if you call her, it will be a month since you have had sex."

"Susannah" He said warningly.

"Jesse" I said back.

Jesse got over top of me and started to kiss my collar bone, "Since when have you been so demanding?" He asked.

"Since when have we waited two weeks to have sex?"

"Touché."

When I woke up the next morning, the sun was shinning bright and I felt big old spike stretching at the foot of the bed. I turned to see Jesse, but he wasn't there, already up I presumed. This, would be the last time in a while we would be in pure bliss.

Short chapter yeah I know sorry.
