Part XV: My Turn
Katie paced around her apartment. Sarah and Russell who were playing monopoly just gazed at her from time to time. She was trying to think of a way to treat Jessie without being bothered or worried about work. It had been a week since Jessie even tried to have fun. She was constantly on call. Katie was also at the receiving end of the busy schedule. They didn't even have time to have dinner or breakfast together.
"Katie will you please sit down? You can think while sitting down." Sarah shook her head as she rolled the dice.
"Yeah Katie. What's up anyway? Planning a marriage?" Russell chuckled.
"What? NO WAY! I was just planning dinner!" Katie yelled in surprise.
Marriage was not set on her mind yet.
"Sure. Now what would you want to do for dinner with Miss Sammler?" Sarah asked grinning.
"That's just it… I can't plan anything because she's always on call!" Katie stood up throwing her arms freely to the air.
"Frustrated are we?" Russell smirked.
"Oh YES… MASTER YODA!" Katie mocked-worship earning her a slap on the forehead from Russell.
"Well help me will you?" Katie rubbed her swollen forehead.
Sarah and Russell pretended to think for a while. Katie stared at them.
"Well?" Katie asked.
"What?" Sarah widened her eyes.
"What did you think of?"
Sarah and Russell looked at each other trying hard not to laugh.
"About what?" They asked back in unison.
"You guys…" Katie scratched her head in frustration.
"Sorry Katie. Didn't know you were THAT desparate." Sarah replied.
Katie just shook her head.
"How did you get to do IT the last time?" Russell asked.
"Well… we turned off our phones and she unplugged her landline. We did IT in her bedroom, on her old apartment." Katie replied sitting on the floor.
"Well do the same thing." Sarah suggested.
"She comes home late. We can't do it like that… She's going to be tired…" Katie furrowed her brows.
"Now… Now… Katie Singer… Are you giving up?" Russell arched one of his brows.
"What do you mean?" Katie asked.
"Pretend it's your first date. What would you do if you can't get a hold of her…?" Sarah smirked looking at Katie.
A light bulb lit up in Katie brain. Time to party!

Jessie plopped into her chair tiredly. She had been running up and down for over four hours now. Her breathing was shallow and her legs were weary. She rested her head on her table, not wanting to move another budge.
Katie held on to the flowers in her hand. She was greeted by the two security guards who gladly directed her to Jessie's office. She waved at Tad on the way. Opening Jessie's office door she found a snoring girlfriend.
"Aw…" Katie said softly.
She gently closed the door behind her. Kneeling down Katie watched Jessie's breathing and slowly touched her hand, making the blonde stir.
"Huh? What?" Jessie turned and found Katie smiling at her.
"Honey… Shouldn't you be at work?" Jessie squeezed Katie's hand and motioned her to stand up.
"I was. I'm done. I wanted to bring you these…" Katie pointed to the flowers.
"And these…" She held out Jessie's lunchbox.
"Thank you…" Jessie kissed Katie on the cheek.
Pulling her closer, Katie ran her fingers through Jessie's hair. She stared at her adoringly. She smiled when Jessie buried her head to her chest.
"I know we didn't have enough time…" Jessie started to speak.
"That's why I'm bringing myself to you…" Katie cut her off kissing her girlfriend's forehead.
"Sweet… Well… You have to bring yourself too… by next week." Jessie chuckled while holding on to Katie.
"What's next week?"
"Zoe's wedding." Jessie replied looking up to the brunette.
"Oh…"
"Uhum… Oh… Are you going to be busy?" Jessie asked.
"No... I'd love to go honey. When do we leave?" Katie stared into space.
"Saturday morning."
"Ok." Katie looked down on Jessie who was smiling at her sweetly.
"I want to…" Jessie began to say but was mesmerized by Katie's green eyes.
"Nobody is stopping you Ms. Sammler." Katie grinned.
"Hold that thought." Jessie moved away from Katie and locked her office door.
She then pushed Katie to her chair and grinned seductively. She sat on Katie's lap and slowly kissed the brunette's neck.
RING! RING!
"Uhm… Jess the phone…" Katie mumbled.
Jessie didn't pay any attention. She nipped Katie's neck then kissed her lips hungrily.
