A/N: Short… I know. But hopefully the next and maybe last chapter will make up for it all. For those who reads my other fic, 'Connect & Disconnect', no worries. I'll be back on that as soon as I accomplish this one.

Part 9: Improbable Indiscernible Insinuation

Still in the shop…

Just as they were about to walk out of the shop, someone called out in a questioning voice from behind them, "Jessica? Jessie?"

Jessie turned around to see who it was, "Russell?"

"Hey! How are you? Didn't see you at the clinic today." Russell asked genuinely.

"Feeling much better now, but I'll be taking the rest of this weekend off as well." Jessie said with a smile, Katie was all smiles.

"So... Who's this nice lady standing here next to you?" Russell asked giving Katie the once over, and moved his eyebrow suggestively.

"Katie, meet Russell Austen, the other psychologist who works at the clinic." Jessie introduced, "Russell, meet Kathryn Singer, my…" Jessie looked at Katie for a second, thinking of how she should introduce Katie; her patient, former patient, friend or girlfriend.

Katie took Jessie's look the wrong way and her smile was replaced by a saddened grin, as she finished off Jessie's introduction with, "Patient and a friend."

Jessie saw Katie's quick change in expression, and knew exactly why. She grabbed Katie's free hand, and quickly added, "and my girlfriend."

Russell looked back and forth between the two young women in front of him looking a little dissapointed. Nodded his head lightly, rubbing his chin pretending to think, "I see…" he said before he broke out with a grin.

"So what are you doing in here?" Jessie asked, still holding onto Katie's hand.

"Uh… What do you think I'm doing in here?" Russell answered with a question.

Jessie laughed, "Yeah… But this shop sells only women clothing."

Russell blushed a little, but not terribly noticeable, "Yah… I'm getting a something for… uh… someone."

"Oh… So I see you've found someone within three months of working here. Nice job." Jessie teased. "Anyways, we shall be heading home now. See you on Monday maybe."

"Yeah, see you. And nice meeting you Miss Singer." Russell waved them off.

"Bye!" the girls called back.

Walking to the car…

"So, I'm your girlfriend now…" Katie asked hesitantly, staring into space.

Jessie turned to look at Katie then looked at the ground, and said, "well unless you don't wanna…"

Katie immediately cut her off, "Of course I want to!" she said in total relief.

Jessie smiled contentedly, "Good. Then it's settled."

"Excellent." Katie lightly pecked Jessie on the cheek. "So, my great and almighty girlfriend, where do you say we have dinner tonight?"

Jessie laid her head on Katie's shoulder as they continued to stroll their way towards the parking lot, "hmm… my place, I'll cook tonight."

"You sure?" Katie asked, turning only to see the top of her girlfriend's head.

"Yep… To thank you for my new coat." Jessie replied, turning her head to look at Katie, but still remaining it on her shoulder.

"Well then… Should we kick Grace out?" Katie asked mischievously.

Jessie grinned just as playfully, "I dunno… I think we wouldn't have to kick her out. Grace is smart, I'm sure she'll find her own way out…"

"You two are so evil…" Grace glared at the pair, as she sat on a chair putting on her long black leather boots.

"Not evil, Grace… angelic... the word is angelic." Katie joked.

Grace rolled her eyes, "You mean to say sweet… embroidered kind of sweet… heading towards a nauseating level kind of sweet." She took a second look at the two before putting on her second shoe. They were leaning against each other, Jessie's arm around Katie's waist, and Katie's draped nicely over Jessie's shoulder. Grace faux shuddered, "Just like little young high school girls in love."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever… At least you get to have some fun time with him!" Katie laughed.

"Who's 'him'?" Jessie questioned curiously, darting her gaze from her girlfriend to her sister and back.

"Grace didn't tell you?" Katie looked at the girl in her arm dubiously.

"Grace!" Jessie whined turning to the now standing Grace, "What haven't you told me?"

"Uh…" she muttered.

"You see, Grace here… has met a nice decent guy she's been seeing for a about a week now. And he so happens to be my ex, who's now one of my best friend, Tad." Katie explained, not one bit bothered that Grace was dating Tad.

"Ooh…" Jessie dragged out, before smiling devilishly with a hint of sparkle in her eyes, as she waved "Have fun then Gracey! I won't be waiting up for you…"

Katie broke out in hysterics, but Grace just forced out a 'laugh all you want' type of grin as she opened the front door.

Just as she was out the door, Grace turned around and pointed a warning finger at the two. "Not on the couch… Anywhere but the couch." She paused after reconsidering what she had just said, "No. Actually, keep it only in your room, anywhere in your room."

Both girls standing in the doorway blushed all shades of red after her statement. Grace was content that she had embarrassed them; she smiled triumphantly and walked off to the elevator.
