A night to remember
"How did you meet him?" Greg asked her as he changed the Band-Aid on her cheek.
"Through a friend, Jake became more stalker like as we dated. It was like I couldn't breathe through my nose with out him knowing. My mother testified that he was stalking me so that I could get the restraining order." Jessie winced, "He broke into my neighbor's house, thinking it was mine." All Greg could do was sit and try to imagine what Jessie told him. He sat next to her after throwing away the paper from the band-aid and put his arm around her.
"So you really like me? You made it sound like I hated you but I don't. After you said all that earlier, all I could see was when you and I were happily sitting in the lab. You were so beautiful when you smiled and your eyes sparkled." He leaned in toward her, "I truly never saw anyone was scared as you were when he slapped you and called you that name. After that, I snapped. I worried I would never see you again." He kissed Jessie's nose as she stood up and began to walk down the hall.
"I am feeling better now that I talked to you, Greg." Jessie said with her back closest to Greg. Suddenly she turned on her heel, ran at the couch where Greg sat, and jumped on to an unsuspecting Greg. "No one who has ever made me feel as free as you have. Thank you so much Greg. I felt lighter than air in your arms. My heart races when I am around you and when I think about you."
"No problem. You make me feel happier than anyone ever has been. I will protect you." He said to her as she lay with her head on his chest. He put a hand on the back of her head and the other on her back. They fell asleep in each others arms.
The next morning, Greg called them both off work. Today would be the day he helped Jessie move in with him. "Yes I am sure. Don't worry. I could use the company at home." Greg said to Jessie as they walked into her apartment. Jessie ran to start packing her stuff. Hell yeah! I get to live with Jessie!
It's only a month or two right? She thought as she handed the suitcase to Greg. "We should be getting home now, shouldn't we?" she smiled. They climbed into Greg's mustang and left for home.
