DISCLAIMER: once again just to refresh your memories The Mediator? NOT MINE. Go Meg Cabot. You rock!
"What do you want now?" I asked when I finally got my brain around everything that had just happened. I figured I will deal with Jesse later.
"You still haven't told Red that it wasn't his fault" She moaned.
"Uh, yea. I did,' I can't believe she had the nerve to even try that. After what I've been through I was ready to throw something at her. Breath Suze, breath. ' Look lady, whoever you are"
"But you know me"
"I really don't have time for this,' I carried on like I hadn't heard her 'I need to get some rest. You asked me to help you and I tried, but it turns out the guy's a whacko so I've been through hell and back and I just"
"I wasn't talking about Red Beaumont. I'm talking about my Red." She wailed some more then disappeared.
What a night. I struggled to get up this morning, so instead of actually getting up, I waited for mum to come in to wake me up.
"Suzie, hon. Time to get up"
I put on my best fake sore throat I could. "Mum, I feel really sick,' I croaked 'I don't think I should go to school today"
"Oh sweetie, you don't sound too well. I have to work, but Andy will be here to look after you"
Yes. It worked.
"Ok mum. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine you have a good day at work now"
As soon as she walked out I fell asleep.
When I finally woke up, guess who was sitting at the window? Jesse. Once again he was patting the cat.
"Hello Susannah. Shouldn't you be at school"
"Actually, no. Sick people don't go to school." I muttered as what I'd hoped was angrily.
"You don't sound very sick to me, querida"
"DON'T call me that"
"What is wrong Susannah?" God. Why does he have to sound so hot with his stupid accent? It makes it really hard to stay mad at him, even when it's for a really good reason!
"What's wrong?' my voice stared to get high pitched. 'Last night you, you kissed me and disappeared. That is what's wrong"
"I'm sorry. I should not have done so, but when I saw you with that boy"
"That boy's name is Tad" I interrupted. Why did he have to be so frustrating?
"I just"
My eyes widened and I gasped. "You're jealous." A satisfied grin stared to spread across my face.
"No I wasn't." He frowned and crinkles between his eyebrows appeared.
"Yes, Jesse. You were." And in the moment of it all I started to laugh. I couldn't help it. I just burst, but Jesse didn't seem to find it funny.
"Susannah if you can not be serious I will just leave you"
"I'm sorry,' I said as I wiped the tears from laughing to hard away. 'but I couldn't help it. I just got so worked about it and I shouldn't have and… I don't know I just laughed."
Jesse smiled. "Querida, I'm sorry to have upset you by what I did last night. It sounds as if it is best forgotten"
"Jesse I can't forget about something like that and most of all I don't want to forget it"
Jesse stood up and I walked over to him. I looked into his eyes. They were so deep, it was as if he was looking right through me into my soul. As I just stood there Jesse took me in his arms and held me and suddenly everything looked up. It felt as if everything was going to be alright. I never wanted this moment to end. The floor around me could fall away for all I cared because I was being held by Jesse.
