Chapter 4

An hour later John, Jessie, and Randy finally got back from the mall. All three were exhausted. They hadn't expected to spend as long as they did in the mall but they spent nearly 4 hours there. It was going on 2:00.

As they walked into the house they all crashed on different parts of the couch. Randy and John slumped side by side and Jessie laid on their laps. John grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. He flipped through the channels for a few minutes before leaving it on Nickelodeon. A marathon of the Rugrats was starting apparently. It was advertised as 4 hours of the best episodes of the Rugrats. Jessie found it quite funny that two guys in their late twenties would sit around and watch Rugrats but thats exactly what happened.

After they had sat there and watched the entire marathon, only stopping to go to the bathroom, the three decided they were hungry. John and Randy didn't feel like cooking so they looked at the take out menus that John had. They decided on all you can eat Chinese. They figured out what all they wanted to include and John made the call. After he hung up he looked at the other two "we need to be in bed early tonight so after we eat and pack we'll hit the hay".

"Yes dad" Randy said giving a little salute. Jessie laughed and John hit Randy upside the head. Since Jessie was still across their laps the only retaliation Randy did was stick his tongue out at John. John made as if to grab it but Randy was too quick and pulled it back in before John's fingers got to it.

About 15 minutes later the delivery guy was there with the food. John paid him and took the food to the kitchen. Jessie looked up at Randy as John disappeared into the kitchen "does this mean I have to move" she said lazily. Randy just laughed and nodded. Jessie put her hands down to push herself up and her left hand accidentally pushed really hard into Randy's crotch. Randy let out a groan and Jessie shot up off of him. She looked at him wide eyed, she was so embarrassed yet she was secretly giddy that she got to touch Randy's crotch.

"I'm so sorry Randy I didn't mean to.." Randy waved Jessie off. He stood gingerly up.

"Its ok honest mistake no big deal I'll live" he said and slowly hobbled to the kitchen. Jessie followed slowly behind him, still feeling bad about what she did. She walked into the kitchen and noticed Randy sitting at the table glaring at John who was on the floor rolling around in tears of laughter. "It wasn't funny John. I bet you wouldn't be laughing if it was you".

"Yes...but...hahaha...you would if...it...hahaha...was me" John managed to get out. Randy just rolled his eyes. Jessie overheard what Randy had said to John and felt so bad. She thought Randy was mad at her and she didn't want that, she felt tears well up in her eyes at the thought of Randy being mad and not wanting either of them to see her cry she ran up to her room, closed the door and flung herself on her bed just as the tears flowed from her eyes.

Randy looked at John with a worried look and John shrugged "I'll go and talk to her" Randy said standing from the table and making his way up to Jessie's room. He knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before opening it a little and peeking his head inside. Jessie was still on her bed crying and Randy felt bad that he has made her sad. "Jessie baby can I come in?" he asked. Jessie nodded but didn't move so Randy walked in and sat on the edge of her bed. He gently touched her arm " Jessie, I'm not mad at you if that's why your upset. I promise you did nothing wrong. If I was mad you would know it, just ask your da..John. So will you come down now and eat? John's probably eating all the good stuff." Jessie turned over and looked up at Randy and smiled.

"Ok, and I'm sorry again" she said reaching up and hugging Randy. Randy smiled and wiped her eyes with his sleve.

"Come on then." he smiled and walked out of the room with Jessie following him. They ate and chatted and had fun. After dinner the three went to their respective rooms to pack. When they finished packing they all dropped off to bed, exhausted from the days events.

That night Jessie had another nightmare. It wasn't as bad as the first one but she was still freaked out. She climbed out of bed and went to John's room. She climbed in bed with him, under the covers after making sure he had something on. Wrapped in his arms she fell fast asleep.
