-Title: Just Dance With Me
-Rating: T. Some sexual content in this chapter, not so much for the language.
-Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. They belong to the people at Once and Again, so I cannot claim them. Repeat, can't claim them. The only two I can claim are Ash and Gina.
-Feedback: Yes please. And thank you so much to everyone who sends me some.
-Summary: This is a Jessie/Katie story. You've been 'warned.' It tells about them meeting college and everything that goes along with it. (Yes, that means they are going to be together in this story.) Tad, Grace, Sarah, etc. also fall into the plot a bit, but this is mostly Jessie/Katie.
-Author's Notes: There is a fantasy part in this story, and I tried to make it fairly clear in the writing when the fantasy starts and ends. I am going to use italics for the fantasy though, so that it's hopefully even more noticeable. What else? Oh yeah. Enjoy! (And respond please, hehe.)
Girlfriend. She wants me to be her girlfriend. So many thoughts were running through Jessie's head at the time. It was almost like a mini movie in her head as she thought of the scenarios and what could happen. First, rewind back to when they met in the club with staring and then running out of the club. Then, to when she first tried pancakes and nachos, which lead to their first date and their first dance. Jessie smiled as she remembered their dance. She went through their date this evening in her mind, as well.
Then, she went forward a little ways to when Katie would meet the rest of her family. They would understand, right? It would take a little time before Jessie could tell them though, but she would get there. She cared about Katie too much not to, and Katie would have to understand.…Perhaps the first step would be letting others know? Her friends…and others. Perhaps others who happened to be at a movie tonight? Of course, a few moments her mind was back into the movie that she had created in her head. Now, the movie had gone on a little ways in time, and snuck in a few thoughts that made Jessie grin and close her eyes in thought, where their life together could lead.
Jessie and Katie were hanging around in Jessie's dorm on a Saturday night watching a couple of movies that they had rented that night. The two lovers on the screen were sharing a sweet kiss after one of them had declared that they loved the other. Suddenly, Jessie turned to Katie, trying to re-enact the moment. "I love you, Katie."
"I just love those things too." Jessie gave Katie a strange look, so she continued. "You know. Go-karts, the things you were just talking about. You drive around in a little car type of thing trying to go as fast as you can around a track, and just when you think you're going really fast, a dog runs by faster than you and realize you're still in a tiny car. Kind of like clowns, in tiny cars, you know, only with…less creepy clowns in them?" Jessie looked horribly confused and felt weird for saying that she loved Katie. She should have known better than to interrupt Katie when she was watching a movie, she never could pay attention to things then.
Just as Jessie was getting distressed and wondering if she dare repeat what she had originally said, Katie laughed. "Oh Jess! I was kidding! I'm sorry, Sweetie. Here. Let me re-phrase that. You. I love you, not go-karts." Jessie beamed back at Katie, who smiled in relief that Jessie wasn't mad.
"How could you not love go-karts?"
"How could I not love you?"
"Hm…Good question. I'm not sure you could, and I couldn't not love you either." Jessie realized that she was using double-negatives, but rationalized that it was Katie who was making her come up with bad sentence structure at that point. With that, Katie smiled and leaned in towards Jessie who was already leaning against her while they watched movies. A few moments later Jessie was pressing herself up against Katie while Katie arched into her. Their lips were continuously meeting as if they couldn't bear to part. Then, something registered in Jessie's head. There were still on the futon. They should really move over to her bed. It'd be…well, bigger at the very least. Jessie eased her lips away from Katie's, who pouted, and looked up at the younger girl as she hovered over her. "We should move to the bed."
"No…" Katie murmured and brought her lips back up to Jessie's. "I'm good here," she whispered in between kisses.
"There's more room there…" This perked Katie's attention. More room would mean less chance of falling off the couch, which was possible since neither of them were too graceful. Suddenly, Katie looked back at the bed. Hm, about three feet away. Could they make it? She sighed, then stood up, which Jessie wasn't ready for. Jessie gasped as the person below her got up suddenly, and she was left laying on the couch alone. What fun was that? Katie smiled seductively and offered a hand. Oh, Katie really shouldn't smile like that around Jessie…Immediately, Jessie's lips found Katie's again, only this time they were standing.
Katie ran her tongue against the soft bottom lip that belonged to Jessie, and the blonde girl immediately obliged. Their tongues met as the kiss deepened, and Katie's hands lowered to Jessie's waist, pulling her closer before the couple backed up against the wall. The younger girl moaned and waited to be even closer to Katie, who was certainly not going to argue. Katie pressed her up against the wall, never ceasing the contact of their lips. The pressure between the two girls grew as their pelvises continued their contact as well.
Suddenly, Jessie leaped up and wrapped her legs around Katie. Luckily, Jessie was smaller than Katie, and Katie was stronger than she looked, so she was able to support her. Katie wandered a few feet to the right, and lowered Jessie and herself to the bed. This is where they should be. They looked into each other's eyes, as the kissing stopped for a moment. It was time. "I love you," Katie whispered seriously, still looking into Jessie's eyes.
There was so much emotion and love between the two of them. It didn't matter that they were both girls. At this point all that mattered was love, love between Jessie and Katie. Katie and Jessie, just as it should be. "I love you too, Katie. I love you too." Jessie echoed as Katie brushed aside Jessie hair and kissed her neck. Jessie closed her eyes and sighed as she felt Katie move onto her.
Within moments, Katie was straddling Jessie, and her lips were still against her neck, kissing, suckling, nipping lightly. Jessie breathed in deeply and moved her hips up against Katie's. Katie's response was to move her own hips against Jessie's, slowly, sensually. A few moments later, neither girl could take it any more. Jessie's hands were up against Katie's hips moving her closer to her, faster this time. Katie's lips had moved back up to Jessie's lips, and they were met hungrily. Jessie's hands wound themselves under Katie's top, and began to feel at the soft skin that lay there as she lifted Katie's shirt off.
"Jess? Jessie?" Jessie had been pretty much out of it for a few minutes while they stood in line. Katie had even bought their tickets, but Jessie hadn't moved. She was started to get worried, especially when Jessie had started mumbling a few words that all sounded like something very, well, sexual, and Katie was sure she had heard her named mentioned. She had heard her name mentioned, right? Maybe she was just trying to get out of answering her…
"Hm?" Jessie opened her eyes to realize that she was still standing outside the movie theatre. Oh crap…Way to have a creative imagination. Why couldn't she have had that during high school writing courses? Actually, she doubted that any of her teachers would want to read something like that. Though, if they did want to read something like that, anyway, she wouldn't let them. That was private, for only her and Katie. Wait. Katie. Jessie still hadn't given Katie an answer!
Jessie looked over Katie. Poor Katie! She looked frazzled to say the very least. She was biting her lower lip, and pushing a strand of hair behind her ear nervously. Jessie had to find a way to calm her, but how? Hm, perhaps answering her would be a good start?
"Katie, I'm so sorry that I moved away from you in the coffee shop. I want to try to work on that, with you. I've never had a real reason to be more out in the open then I am, about well, who I am. It will take me a little while, before I can open up more to my family, I think. Though, they'll even be told, but in person. I don't want to tell them over the phone or something. As for the others, maybe it's time they start to get to know me better because I have a reason now. I have you, as my girlfriend…" Jessie trailed off at the last part, feeling kind of silly and corny. Plus, she wasn't sure what Katie would think of her whole little speech there.
Katie looked stunned for a moment, before glowing. Jessie grinned back, and leaned up on her tip toes towards Jessie. Katie paused, but Jessie leaned forward and pressed her lips against Katie's for a moment before both became conscious that they were going to be late for the movie, so they separated still smiling. Still smiling, Jessie took Katie's hand and led her inside where Katie apparently had a surprise of her own in store of Jessie.
A few steps after being inside, Katie ventured off to the left, away from the doors that led them into their theatre. "Katie, where are we going?" Jessie was questioning her as she was being taken further away from their choice of movie. At this rate, they really were going to be late for their movie.
Katie just smiled back at her, though it looked more like a smirk. Boy, Katie looked good when she had that sexy smirk on her face…No, bad Jessie. She had to concentrate here on where Katie was leading her. A few moments later they arrived at the rope that would lead them to the balcony. "Come on," Katie urged as she looked hopefully at Jessie. Jessie obliged and followed Katie under the rope after a quick glance around. After a few moments they reached the seats, and there was only one other couple up there. They seemed to be, well, enjoying their seats up there as well because her head was resting on his shoulder after they had shared a kiss.
They settled for a seat near the back in the balcony so that the two couples would not be situated too close together. Through-out most of the movie Jessie was looking out of the corner of her at Katie. She thought she was being very secretive. Suddenly, Katie leaned over next to Jessie to whisper in her ear. "Yes, I'm still here. And yes, I can see you looking at me." Jessie blushed a deep pink, and even in the darkened theatre, Katie could see it. She chuckled. Suddenly, Jessie realized something.
"Wait, how could you see me look at you, unless you were looking at me?" Jessie was expecting a joking response in return. At least a fairly clever response anyway, but that's not what she got. She got pure honesty.
"I was looking at you." Jessie smiled at Katie, who returned to her smirk again. "Thought I was going to be all clever on you, huh?" Jessie nodded her head. "Well, I could always ask you what you were thinking about out there in the ticket line…I swear I heard you mumble something about me." Katie looked to the other girl, waiting for her reaction.
"No…I was not mumbling about you." Jessie looked down at her fingernails, trying to think of a good excuse. She was pretty much caught, and they both knew it. Jessie had been talking about Katie in her fantasy, and it was pretty much known now that she had offered that weak excuse.
"Oh, then what was it?" Katie was feeling like playful banter for the moment, because she was still on a high after realizing that Jessie was, for sure, her girlfriend now.
"I didn't say Katie…I said 'matey' like as in a Pirate theme." Jessie was stumbling around for an answer, but honestly 'matey' was the only thing she could think of that rhymed at all with 'Katie.'
"Pirate-themed? Are you planning a birthday party for a little kid that I don't know about?" Katie was now chuckling as her girlfriend stumbled for her reasoning.
"No! I just…" Jessie wandered off on her thought, because she wasn't sure where else to head with it.
"Have a secret fetish you have told me about yet?" Katie elbowed Jessie and wiggled her eyebrows at her. "I can make a pretty cute pirate, you know. Wait, do I have to wear an eye patch?"
"Fetish?…I don't have any fetishes." Her girlfriend was just being silly now, going on about dressing up like a pirate for her. Not that Jessie would object to that. Well, Katie could skip the eye patch part though…Wait, stay on track, Jessie! Don't let Katie wander off too far with the subject.
"Too bad, because fetishes can be a turn-on." Once more, Katie wiggled her eyebrows at Jessie while she talked.
"You have a fetish for fetishes?" Now it was Jessie's turn to chuckle.
"Yup. Guess what else I have." Suggestively, Katie leaned forward, and ran her fingers softly down Jessie's jaw line.
"Me?" Jessie thought for a mere moment, before her comment. Katie's actions had made it pretty clear.
"Well, I was going to say a beautiful girlfriend…but that works too." Katie smiled softly as Jessie as she said this. On the screen, a vase was being thrown by a girl after her boyfriend admitted to kissing her best friend. Well, ex-best-friend now. The guy was commenting about not wrecking anything else, because it was his mom's house. This made the girl even more angry, because she thought it was his house. Whoops, strike two for him. Both girls turned away from the movie, because they weren't very interested in it now.
Suddenly, the mood changed, and the two girls leaned in towards each other to kiss again. It was deep, and meaningful. All of their joking was suddenly pushed aside and they were left simply with wanting. Suddenly, they realized that arm chairs get in the way. Then, unexpectedly Jessie ended up on Katie's lap, straddling her in the cinema chair. It was a good thing they were in the balcony, alone except for the making out couple in the front of the balcony. Katie's arms were wrapped around Jessie's waist, holding her there. Meanwhile, their kissing had deepened. Unfortunately for them, the lights were starting to come back on. The movie had ended without them realizing it. Oops. Good thing they didn't have to give a review on it, because they had watched very little of it.
They both pulled back, breathing heavily. "Don't think that now you don't have to tell me what you were thinking about." Jessie giggled after Katie pointed this out.
"First, maybe we should leave the theatre?" Jessie made this suggestion, as the other making-out couple finally pulled themselves apart.
"Do you want to go maybe watch some TV at my house or something?" Katie suggested this as they both realized that they didn't want to leave the other yet. They weren't ready for anything too physically yet, well, except in fantasies. In the future though…meetings at the other's house might mean more. Once, they had been together for a bit longer anyway.
"Sure. Oh! Wait. I want to see who that couple is that kept making out the whole movie!" Jessie exclaimed, as she stood up, which allowed Katie to also get up. Katie smiled, and took Jessie's hand in her own. Their fingers wove together, as they held hands, walking towards the stairs.
"You do realize we didn't watch much of the movie either, right?" Apparently, no, Jessie did not consider this.
"Yes, but we weren't in front of someone." Katie laughed. There was no reasoning with Jessie, when she was trying to support her evidence. She'd come up with some reasoning no matter what her case was.
The other couple was making their way towards the stairs, and just a few steps before they made it there, they stopped and stared. "Tad," Katie said simply as she stared at his rumpled clothing.
"Katie!" He said, feeling and looking like he was caught with his hand in a cookie jar as a little boy would do.
"Jessie?" The girl with Tad, questioned in the fairly dark theatre.
"Grace!" Jessie recognized the other girl now. Tad was on a date with Grace. Grace was on a date with Tad…I guess they really did hit it off the other night. Both couples stood there looking at the other, unsure of what to do now.
