A/N: Jesse's POV. And I am so sorry for such a long time between updates. I had a huge research paper due for school, so any free time I had went to that. The next chapter will be up in two or three days I promise. Also this chapter is smaller because the next chapter will be really, really long I promise!

Jesse could feel Kira breathing while she laid on his chest. She had been asleep for the past hour. He had long since given up reading his book. As far as Jesse was concerned watching Kira sleep was far more entertaining. He was learning knew things about her every minute that passed; like he never knew she mumbled in her sleep, little incomprehensible words. Or the fact that she seemed to prefer sleeping on Jesse rather than next to him. Her head had fallen off his chest once, but she just woke up and moved back over.

Not that that is a problem. Anything to make her feel better. I'm such an idiot I almost gave her up for a moment of guilt. Stupid. Jesse had spent the better part of the hour reliving all of the horrible words he had said to her. He was going to make it up to her if was the last thing that he did. But first he had to wake her up. Jesse gave a little cough hoping the noise would wake her. Nothing. He shook her. Nothing. Well someone has a sleeping disorder.

"Kira" Jesse said quietly, hoping to wake her up gently. But again nothing.

"Kira" a little louder this time.

"Kira!" Jesse's own voice volume shocked him at first. But it seemed to be the thing to wake Kira up. She moaned a little as she tried and failed to open her eyes. Jesse could not help but laugh at her failing attempts to come out of her sleep. Finally she yawned and opened her eyes up. Searching around the room she seemed confused at first, but quickly came out of that as her head whipped up toward Jesse. A small smile graced her features before she yawned again.

"Hey" Jesse said. Yea, very poetic idiot.

"Hey" Kira replied as her grip tightens over his waist flushing her closer to him.

"How long was I asleep?"

"Bout an hour maybe a little more, but you have to get up cause my mom will start to wonder where you have been all morning. And I really didn't want to have to explain to her why you were basically sleeping on my chest." Jesse said as he started to play with her hair twisting it in his fingers. Soft. All of her is just soft.

"Hey it is not my fault that your chest happens to make a really good pillow" Kira smirked. Now she's smirking. I'm rubbing off on her.

"What can I say I'm just perfect." He smirked back. Kira laughed at him and playfully slapped his arm. But she knew she would have to leave his room soon, if they wanted Merial not to find out. Reluctantly she pulled her head off of his chest and started to move away from his body. Instantly Jesse felt the cool air replace the warmth that Kira provided. Come Back.

"Kira wait." He said grabbing her wrist.

"Huh?" she turned towards him. Jesse's other hand went to the back of her neck and pushed her head towards his. His mouth met hers for the first time in what his mind considered forever. As innocent as the kiss started it quickly became more and more passionate, and Jesse was given no warning before Kira's tongue had slipped its way into his mouth. Not that he would ever complain about that. God way, way too much time has passed since we last did this must remember to try to do this much, much more. But before Jesse could really start to enjoy the kiss, Kira was pushing against his chest, she didn't stop kissing him though, they were just chaste kisses.

"Jesse" Kiss. "I" Kiss. "Have" Kiss. "To" Kiss. "Go" Kiss. Kira had managed to actually get the whole sentence out. Jesse pulled completely away from her.

"You know we should consider having all of our conversations like that." He joked as she pulled herself out of bed. Kira giggled.

"Well at least that way I would know you paying attention to me" she replied. She backed away from him as she left the room. Her eyes never leaving his. I really am an idiot for giving up on her. Yea I could have never had her in my bed again. Seriously I am beyond fucked up for that one.

Jesse left his room ten minutes after Kira hoping that was enough time for it to seem like they hadn't been together the whole time. Walking downstairs he could hear Rose playing something with her dolls. Jesse found his mom downstairs looking stressed out. She needs to calm down, or else she is going to have a heart attack soon. Jesse knew something was up with his mom; he wasn't stupid he knew she was different from the hurricane, but whatever it was she was trying her hardest to hide it from them so for now he would just play along with her. He looked but Kira was nowhere in sight.

"Hey mom." He said grabbing a banana from the fruit bowl.

"Hmm. Oh hey sweetie." Merial replied, but Jesse knew that she wasn't really paying attention. Hell I bet she doesn't even know if it's me or Rose right now.

"Where's Kira or Tom" Jesse prayed he sounded causal, or at least sounding as though he wasn't just looking for Kira.

"Tom is working and Kira just came down stairs but she went back up to her room, oh while I have you here. I have to go in to hospital for a while so you have to look after you sister. Okay sweetie? I'm sorry I know it seems like your always babysitting, but it's just so chaotic right now." She was rambling.

"Mom!" Jesse half yelled causing Merial to stop.

"It's fine." Jesse really didn't mind watching Rose. Besides at least he and Kira could be alone for a while sure they would have to be careful with Rose around but he could be around her with out worry that their parents would come busting in any moment freaking out at them. Which they so would. I can just see their faces if they caught us. Jesse stopped himself before he thought any further. Stop worry about shit like that. Jesse walked back up stairs heading towards Kira's room, looking forward to spending some time with her not in constant fear of their parents.
