Chapter 18
Jessica looked around as she stopped near the sewer hole.She didn't see anyone around,so she knew it was safe to go down.
Meanwhile, Raphael was in the dojo thinking and practicing.He wouldn't really call it practicing,he was just getting things off his chest.He yelled as he kicked the punching bag and punching it."Damn",He hissed as he felt tired.
He was thinking of visting Jessica,but then realized if he told everyone he was going out,Leo would ask if it was her vist.
Suddenly,he heard footsteps coming from the steps area."Who could that be?".He remembered everyone was home,and no one went out for the rest of the afternoon.As he peaked near the doorway,he smiled as he saw Jessica look around for everyone.
"Hello? Anyone home?",She called out.
Raph decided this would be the best time to get her attention.He walked out fully and walked slowly up to her."Hey Jess,how's it goin?".
"Hey Raph",She smiled."Where is everyone?".
"They're all here",Raph replied standing next to her."Venus is meditating,Leo and Don are practicing,Mikey's somewhere in the sewer.So..what can I help you with?".
"I just wanted to hang out,that's all",Jessie shook her head."Anything on T.V? Hungry? I'm just really bored".
"How about a nice drive around New York? I'm bored too",Raph said leading her to the stairs again."I wanna get out of here for a few hours".
"Sure",Jessie smiled as they walked out. ***************************
Leonardo and Donatello walked out of the dojo all sweaty from practicing."Nice moves Leo".
"Thanks Donatello",Leo said going to the fridge."Hey,where's Raph? I haven't seen him since you tested me on that....thing".
Donnie shrugged and took a seat at his computer to check out chatrooms."Nope..". He then was about to turn the computer,he saw a yellow post it note on the screen."What's this?".He read and it said:
Donnie,
Jessica showed up and no one was around,so I decided to take her out for a ride around the city.Catch ya later,and tell Leo I know the truth.
Raphael
"Uh..Leo..you better get here for a second",Donnie said after he finished reading the note.
"Whose that from?",Leo asked opening a bag of chips.
"Raphael",Don replied slowly as Leo grabbed the note from his hands.
"No one was around,so I decided to-",Leo said as he looked through the letter."DAMN IT! Does he always get what he wants!?".
"What is this? The Bachlorette?",Donnie asked raising his arms up."Calm down Leo,you'll get your chance".
"No I won't,Raph has always got what he wanted! He's got the motorcyle,money for the pizza when he wants it,and he even has the same girl that I like!",Leo shouted pacing back and forth.
"Now they aren't REALLY dating,Jessie hasn't decided what she wants yet",Donnie explained as Leo took a few chips out."I never really asked,but why do you like her?".
Leo froze.Should he tell Don the truth? Flashbacks ran through his head remembering Jessica's smiles the year before.He remembered their hugs,talks,and even their moments when they wanted quiet in the room."Well..she's so..so..unbelieveable.She's so pretty Donatello,her eyes! Her hair is so thin and soft to touch.I look at her everytime she comes here to spend the night.She's funny too,and she's really nice".
"Then why don't you tell her that?".Leo ingored Donnie's question and sat down at a chair in the kicthen area.
"I've just never been in love before Don.Raph has..sometimes",Leo replied slowly."He would always bring girls down the lair and keep them as pets.But he hasn't done that to Jessica.I wanna know why".
"Maybe it's because he loves her Leo".
"Well I need somebody Donatello..I never felt like this..ever in my whole life",Leo said standing up."Jessica's the one who made me like this".
Donnie just sat there looking at Leo."Isn't that easy? To say that in front of her?".
"Not really",Leo shook his head."Does your stomach feel like theres butterflies around?".Donatello laughed as Leo sat back down nervous.
"People being in love act like that". ****************************
"Whoahoooo!!",Jessica screamed out as she let the wind blow in her hair."Wow Raph,this is amazing!".
"I do this about once a week",Raph replied keeping an eye on the road.He then parked next to a curb and turned off the engine.
"What? Why did you stop?",Jessie asked as she realized he just parked out in a middle of no where.
"We need to talk",Raph said quickly as he put a arm around the seats and stared at Jessie."About us".
"Us? Raph,what are you talking about?",Jessie laughed and turned to the left."Us..haha..".
"Remember when I told you how I felt?",Raph asked and Jessica nodded."Well,I'm serious about it now.I wanna know how you feel".
Jessica crossed her arms as the wind blew a little in her hair.She sucked her lips as she tried to think what to tell Raphael."I...um..Raph..".
"Don't tell me,I got the story",Raph said putting his hands on the steering wheel.
"No listen..I do care about you Raph",Jessie smiled.Suddenly,her smile turned into a frown."I think you're sexy,I think you're funny,mysterious..but...I need to think about it".
"That was four weeks ago Jessica",Raphael replied looking at her as nodding."Don't we have something here?".
Jessica stared at him."Well..yeah..I like you. It's just..can't I just tell you maybe tomorrow?".
"Tomorrow?".
"Yeah".
Raph sighed as he turned on the car again."Alright..tomorrow.I'll expect an answer Jessie".
"Thanks Raph".He drove down the highway to make a turn back to the lair. *******************
Meanwhile, somewhere in an apartment building,a big mutant gorillia was watching the turtles through his computer screen.
"Interesting..",He said rubbing his chin."I could use that girl..".One of his sidekicks interupted him.
"Uh..boss!",The skinny one exclaimed."One of the turtles has the girl with him boss!".
"I can see that!",The chimp exclaimed back standing up."I need to figure out a way to get that girl".
"We can get her!",The fat one raised his hand up."I mean..no offence boss..but do you think she'll follow a mutant monkey?".
Silver,the mutant gorillia gave them a look."No no..I got a better idea". ***************
Jessica and Raphael walked in the lair.They saw Leo sitting on the couch by himself and Mikey making something to eat.
Leo looked up and saw the two with a smile."Oh hey! You guys back so soon?".Leo walked over to Jessie as Raph gave them a glare as he walked by.
"So Jessie,since you were just out,how about a nice walk through the sewers?",Leo asked polietly with his hands behind his shell.
"Umm...",Jessie mumbled as she watched Raph go over to Mikey."Sure..for a little bit I guess".
"Great!",Leo said offering her an arm and she took it.Raph waited till they were gone to talk to Mikey.
"So? Did you tell her?",Mikey said dropping the bread roll.
"Yeah I told her",Raph said sadly with a sigh.
"What did she say?".
"Doesn't know what she wants.I have to get an answer tomorrow",Raph explained."I tell ya..wait till I get my hands on Leo when she's not around".
"She's suppose to tell you tomorrow? Man..I thought she would tell you know by now".
"I think she would know what her answer would be.Someone must of told her about Leo falling for her",Raph said a little curious.
"Well..who?",Mikey asked.Raphael turned around and eyed Venus's room. **************
Venus sat on the couch and looked up at Mikey."Okay..what's going on?".She then saw Raph walk out of the train."Raphael,what's going on?".
"Talk right now Shinobi",Raph said angerily."Did you tell Jessica that Leo likes her?".Venus froze and stared across the room."Well? Did you?".
Venus moved her shoulders a little."Uh..Raphael I am so sorry.It's just..Jessica's been confused on what to tell you.I saw you and Leonardo arguing,and I thought it was right for her to tell her".
"Why you would do that Venus?",Mikey asked softly knowing it was wrong to yell.Venus folded her hands and fiddled with her thumb.
"Leo doesn't even know that Jessica knows",Raph said looking at Mikey.
"Guys..I..again I'm very sorry for being in your private life Raphael.I'm trying to make a good bond with Jessica and become one of her friends like you are.Also...maybe I was a little bit jealous that you guys were fighting over her.I guess it was bothering me how no one was after me.Then again,I do want to concentrate on my powers and protecting people my master knew. I'm very sorry Raphael,and I will apoligize to Leonardo when he comes back".
Mikey nodded slowly and looked at Raph."Well Raph?".
Raphael let it his fist go and his hand went back to his normal calm self."It's cool Venus,we're cool. I'm sorry too for..accusing everyone bothering me about my feelings".
"Well,now that we are all happy once again,whose up for some pizza?",Mikey asked grabbing the phone. **********************
A/N:Thanks for the reviews! My goodness,since the amount of reviews went down I thought this story sucked! So,what will happen to poor Raphael? What do you guys think Jessica will say the next day? Also,What will Leo say to Jessica? Boy,we got a lot of delemas here!
Jessica looked around as she stopped near the sewer hole.She didn't see anyone around,so she knew it was safe to go down.
