Part 19: Relaxing

Sammler/Manning Manor (Saturday)

Just as the doorbell went off, Jessie practically flew down from the attic, nearly forgetting her healing ankle, until she finally landed the last step, maybe just a little too hard, because she flinched from the sudden pain. Grace just walked out of the kitchen in time to see Jessie flinch from pain, with a concerned face, she asked "are you alright?"

Waving her hand dismissively, Jessie gained composure, walked to open the door revealing her girlfriend, stunning as usual, standing there with a small duffel bag. Seeing her girlfriend stand there under the beginning of winter's sunlight, Jessie grinned like a little child, forgetting the pain of her ankle. Quickly Jessie pulled Katie into a tight, warm hug.

"Well, that's a nice way to be greeted. Could be better but you know… who am I to be complaining" Katie joked wriggling her eyebrows suggestively, when Jessie finally let go of her.

Jessie lightly swatted Katie's arm before moving aside to allow the older girl through the door.

"So where are the parents?" Katie questioned, looking around the empty house.

"Oh dad and Lily decided to have a day all to themselves, Eli's band practicing, and Zoë's over at her dads. Therefore only leaving us two and Grace all by ourselves for the moment." Jessie said dragging Katie by the arm up towards the attic.

"Well then… what do you have in store for us today, Miss Sammler."

"I dunno… I felt like relaxing a little, and listen to some music…"

"MUSIC! I love music – I even brought a few CDs of my own over."

"Great then…"

20 minutes later…

"I love Billie Holiday…" Katie said absentmindedly as she continued to stare up at the ceiling. 'I'm absolutely loving this… Music… Jessie right beside me…'

"Yeah… I'm starting to like her too…" Jessie joined in, just as dazed. 'Katie smells really nice.'

Suddenly, Katie sat up and asked, "Jess, can you sing to me?"

Jessie sat up as well, looking a little surprised, "What in your mind got you thinking that I could sing?"

"Grace told me you could sing, she says she always hears you singing to yourself. She has informed me that you have a real good voice." Katie said, her eyes staring straight into Jessie's hopefully.

'Gosh, I swear she can see my soul whenever she stares at me.' Jessie thought. "Well what do I get if I sing to you?"

"What… like a reward?"

"Yeah…"

Katie sat there thinking deeply about Jessie's question, finally something went off in Katie's head. Though she really didn't know what she would do if her plan failed her, but she gave it a try anyway. "If you don't sing for me, I won't let you get smoochies for the rest of the day." Katie said challengingly.

'Smoochies… that sounds so cute' Jessie thought as she was smiling foolishly. Then she decided to play along, "Well then Katie… I guess it's gonna be no smoochies for you either for the day."

"Damn… No way… I want smoochies…" forgetting about what she had just said before, Katie pulled Jessie in on a short sweet kiss.

Feeling all blissful, this time Jessie pulled Katie in for another, but just before their lips touched, Katie stuck her hand in between their mouths. Therefore Jessie ended up kissing her girlfriend's hand instead.

"No more smoochies for you, babe… Unless…" Katie said mischievously wriggling her eye brow knowingly.

Jessie looked at Katie fake pouting, "Fine. I'll sing to you. You promise!"

"Yeah… of course. I'll even set the scene for you…" Katie paused before continuing, "okay, it's 2am, the lights are low, and the band begins to play."

With that Jessie smiled at Katie before she began to sing to the bit she knew the lyrics of 'God Bless the Child'

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Throughout the short period of hearing Jessie sing, Katie sat there dazed and totally astounded at Jessie's voice. It was nearly indescribable. Jessie, after finishing, looked at Katie and waved her hand in front of Katie's face… finally catching her attention, bringing Katie back from her stupor, all Katie could manage was, "wow…"

Jessie blushed… but not uncomfortably. She looked back into Katie's eyes, and knew that she wasn't saying 'wow' just to make her feel better. She could tell Katie meant it, it was in her eyes.

Trying to tell what she was feeling towards Jessie was harder than she thought, she began with a, "That was… wow… and then it was like… woah…"

Jessie laughed at Katie's sudden lack of words. 'She so cute when she forgets how to speak.'

"Wow…" Katie began again, "Who would've thought I could ever be at lost for words…"

Shutting Katie up, Jessie leaned in and kissed Katie, softly at first, but soon it grew to a whole different level. Katie lightly ran her tongue along Jessie's bottom lip, without thinking twice, Jessie allowed access for Katie into her mouth. The feeling was great… no, it was exceptional… Just before they were about to break apart, they allowed their lips to linger on each other's a little while longer before slowly pulling away.

"Now that is what I call a superb smooch!" Katie said, after recovering from the passionate kiss.

Yet again, Katie's weirdness caused Jessie to laugh. 'Wow I love her laugh… and I love it even more when it's me making her laugh.' Katie smiled at Jessie sincerely before saying, "I love listening to you laugh," finishing off as she reclined back onto her back on Jessie's bed closing her eyes peacefully.

Jessie looked down at the now lying Katie and for the first time, well and truly looked Katie over. After taking in the small details of each and every curve of Katie's figure, Jessie followed Katie and reclined also. "I Love You," Jessie whispered lightly, not wanting to disturb the peace, as she rolled on her side and leaned her head onto Katie's shoulder.

"I love you too." Katie replied, wrapping an arm around Jessie from behind.

They lay there for another five minutes, before… Knock Knock.
