Chapter Eight: Date night
Kat with the help of Jazz and Kara was getting ready for her date with Jesse; she was having problems deciding on what to wear. Sure she's gone on dates before, but this felt different. Jesse was someone completely different, she usually didn't date guys like him, every other guy she had ever dated either had an anger problem or a power one or he just didn't fit the criteria for boyfriend material.
Jazz held up a pair of leather pants, "How about these?" she asked hopeful, they have been at this too long in her book and was starting to get irritated at her friend.
Kat looked at the pants then up at her friend, "I'm going out to dinner not clubbing." she told her with a raised eye brow. Kat knew she was being a bit over dramatic but she didn't have a clue with what to wear, and everything that she owns doesn't seem right to wear.
Kara finally found the perfect thing for Kat to wear, that she would approve of, a spaghetti strap shirt fashioned like a peasant shirt only without the bell arms, the shirt was a tan color so it would go with the brown flowy skirt that goes with it.
Kara looked at Kat with excitement, "Well what do you think, it isn't too classy and it isn't what you would wear to a club." Silently Kara was hoping Kat would agree because she was getting sick of looking through clothes. Kat looked at them and nodded.
"I like them, I'm sorry for being such a pain in the ass. I know I took forever to choose but I'm a bit nervous and was freaking out." Kara and Jazz gave her a hug.
"Don't worry we forgive you." Kara told her and ushered her over to the vanity so they could work on her make-up. She put very light red and brown earth tones on, and some eye liner. Kat put her hair up in a upside down bun, and she added some butterfly clips to it, making her look more beautiful. She was ready to go on that date with Jesse, she had about ten minutes before he actually gets there to pick her up, and he only lives across the street. So far away.
Jesse with help from Leon finally figured out what would be appropriate to wear, they finally decided on a dark blue button up shirt and some nice pants that weren't stained or anything of the sort, as of yet. Jesse looked in the mirror at himself and nodded approvingly.
Jesse walked to the living room and the girls were cat calling at him, he slightly blushed at that. "Lookin' good Jesse." Letty yelled at him, he rolled his eyes at them.
As Jesse was walking out the door he yelled back, "I'll be home later." as an after thought he added. "Eventually" he heard the others laughing at that.
Jesse walked over to Kat's and nervously knocked on the door, Nate answered the door and he let Jesse in. Nate was looking at Jesse, "Jesse Kat is like my sister, I would never want her to get hurt. No mater how much I like you and think of you as a brother you hurt her at all and you will be castrated. She's had bad luck with me and I don't want to think that you are a bad one. I amazingly actually like you." Jesse looked at him with wide eyes but soon turned his gaze to where Kat was standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Kat smiled hesitantly at him, "Jesse you look good when cleaned up." she told him as she walked towards him. He caressed her face and smiled down at her, "You look beautiful Kat, more than any car or any other sort of thing I have ever seen before." she smiled at him and gently kissed him on the lips.
Jazz fake gagged at them, "Hey you two if you are going to be doing any of that take it somewhere where we don't have to see it." she told the two of them.
Kat rolled her eyes at her friends and headed towards the door with Jesse, he opened the passenger side to the Jetta for her and she smiled at that and got in. Kat looked over at the Toretto house and saw Mia and Letty looking out the window, Kat gave them a thumbs up and they laughed and walked away from the window.
Jesse got in and drove off to wherever they were going, Kat turned to him and nodded appreciatively at his choice of clothes he looks well wonderful. "So Jesse where are you taking me?" she asked him with a curious look on her face.
He turned to look at her and smirked, "It's a surprise, you're just going to have to wait and see." he told her and smiled. Kat laughed at that, go figure she had to wait to see where she was going to be for her date.
Twenty minutes later the two of them pulled up to a beach side restaurant, Kat was staring in amazement at it, it was small but very welcoming. He opened the side door for her and led her into the restaurant. Once they were seated and had ordered they began talking. "You know they were watching us as we left." Jesse told her, she smiled and nodded at the coment.
"Yeah I noticed that too, they're just social butterflies aren't they?" she asked in a joking manner. Jesse nodded in agreement, he's never really been on a date, he's had one night stands but other than that nothing serious at all. So this is like a big moment for him and for the team to see, him growing up or something like that.
Jesse decided to break the silence, "So were you close with your family back home?" he asked her.
Kat shrugged, "I guess I was somewhat. But when my father died and my mom split on me they thought I needed counseling or something and I didn't think I did. I mean bad things happen not much you can do really." he nodded.
Realizing that she resented a lot of her family for wanting her to do that even though she didn't need it. "You would only need counseling if you tried to commit suicide. Or at least that's what I think, or if you start having thoughts of killing yourself." he told her and she nodded.
"Yeah that's how I think of it. But other than that slight problem with my family we got a long. My cousin's, my aunts and uncles; I'm an aunt even. Scary thought, even though I'm not her mother it still feels weird being known for taking care of another living being." Jesse realized that this is probably how the team felt about him, they cared so much for him that they would die for him, that's how Kat would be with her children or even her niece if she had to do something like that.
Kat began talking again, "I went to college for a while, but I didn't have enough to go for more than two years and they didn't offer the program's that I wanted to take. I wanted to keep on going but I couldn't afford it." she told him, Jesse knew she was intelligent she would have to be to be able to handle her cousin Nate.
"What were you majoring in?" he asked her generally curious.
"I was majoring in liberal arts, my specialty was Writing when I was there, I wanted to be a write. Hell I still do, if I could I would be a writer but I didn't get to finish my degree, I had another one I wanted but they didn't offer the programs, not a big enough town." she said dejectedly.
"Well maybe you can go back and become a writer, I hear they get a lot of money. Also writers are always very artistic in all areas of their life." he said smirking.
Kat smiled at him, "Jesse I love it when you talk dirty. Its sexy." she told him, he leaned forward and brushed his lips lightly over hers and then pulled back making her growl in annoyance. He laughed at her obvious frustration at him doing that to her.
They finished dinner and went outside to walk along the beach. Kat looked out at the ocean and smiled, "I love the ocean, the second time that I have ever been near it before." she told Jesse as they sat down on the sand.
He looked at her curiously, "I thought you lived near the ocean when you were in New York?" she shook her head at that.
"No, the first time I ever saw the ocean was when I went down to Florida with my mom and some family, I was so excited. I wanted to get out of the town I was in and go away fro a while for vacation. Just a break away from everything. I enjoyed every minute of it. When I went in the water it felt like I was being reborn. I've always felt like that around water, I love the water." she told him lost in the memory.
He grabbed her hand and helped her up, "Come on then, lets go in." she looked at him like he was insane.
"Jesse we'll get wet." she said in confusion.
He smiled at her, "Isn't that the point. You just said that you love the water didn't you?" he asked her curiously. She sighed and took her shoes off, he already rolled his pants up to his knees and took his socks and shoes off.
She took his offered hand and let him guide her over to the water. She walked in as far as the water would allow her without getting her clothes wet, Jesse pulled Kat to him and smiled down at her and she smiled back at him.
Kat lifted her head up and kissed him, he was massaging her neck as they were kissing. Kat was running her hands through his hair and enjoying the feeling of her hands through his hair. Once they finally broke off she nuzzled her head into his neck and sighed contentedly. He suddenly picked her up bridal style and walked back to the beach where he deposited her on the sand.
Kat leaned against his chest and looked out into the ocean, the two of them watched the waves for an hour before the both of them decided that it was time for them to get back home.
Jesse being the perfect gentleman that he is walked Kat to her door, she was about to say something to him when she saw that a note was taped to her door. If she thought it was from who she thinks, this means most definite trouble for her.
Jesse looked at it curiously, "What's that?" Kat didn't reply and read the letter addressed to her.
Dear Kat,
Hello kitten, I'm here and will be watching you so you better be prepared for what I am willing to do to get you as mine once again. You even think about telling or calling the police I will kill every single person in your family including the ones that you moved away from. You have a niece if I recall, three years old, named Anastasia. Think about that before you do anything.
Jake
Kat couldn't peak, she didn't know what to do. This was the fifth letter that she has gotten form Jake since she moved to LA. All the others were e-mail, he probably wasn't in the state as of yet to threaten her personally.
Jesse read over the letter and looked shocked, he turned to Kat. "Why is he contacting you, has he sent any other ones." she nodded to his question.
"Yes, but they are all e-mails, this is the first one I've gotten personally. That means he's back and following me." she stated and sounded scared as shit. The two of them entered Kat's house and went to her room.
She started shaking once she sat on the bed, Jesse grabbed hold of her face and looked her in the eye. "Kat, look at me. I wont let him hurt you, Dom wont. No one in this family will. You're safe, and that's how its gonna stay you understand me?" he asked her, she nodded not knowing what else to say.
"Lets get you changed into something else so you can sleep." he went to her closet and found a pair of shorts, very short shorts, and a tank top for her to wear. It didn't seem like she had the will to do anything at all any more. He helped her change into them and then helped her get under the covers of her bed, he was about to leave when she grabbed him by the wrist.
"Please stay with me Jesse, I'll feel safer please." he nodded and too his shoes and shirt off and got in with her. He pulled her against him and she turned around and laid her head on his chest and fell asleep almost immediately.
