Chapter 2

"What do you want to do Jess?" Jonny asked. It had been two days since Race and Benton left and the two kids were stuck inside with a raging snowstorm outside. Jonny looked beside him and realized Jessie was asleep. "Oh good. I'm talking to myself." He said out loud. Jonny stared at Jessie thinking 'gosh she's beautiful. I wonder if she'd consider dating me. Would Race kill me? How do I tell her I love her?'

-------

When Jessie woke up she was vaguely aware of someone's arms wrapped around her waist. She turned her head only to find her and Jonny lying on the couch cuddling. 'Mmm…I want to wake up like this forever.' She thought to herself allowing her body to press against his.

"Stay with me." He whispered.

"Always." She whispered back. Without thinking she brushed her lips against his. 'Am I dreaming? If I am I never want to wake up.' She thought to herself as her and Jonny kissed. When they parted Jonny unconsciously pulled Jessie as close to him as she could get. Jessie rested her head on his chest and fell back asleep.

-------

Both teens awoke sometime later to a large 'BOOM!' outside. The first thing they noticed was the power had gone out. The second thing they noticed was their position on the couch. Jessie was wrapped up in Jonny's arms. 'I wish everyday could be like this.' Jonny thought to himself. "We should um…..look for…flashlights." He finally said not being able to think straight with Jessie pressed against him. Jessie and Jonny climbed off the couch, Jonny in search of flashlights and candles, and Jessie in search of blankets. When Jessie got back downstairs she saw the living room glowing by candlelight and by the light in the fireplace.

Jonny sat staring into the fire thinking 'I should just tell her how I feel. Jessie I love you. No that won't work. It has to be something good.' Jonny was jerked out of his thoughts as Jessie's hand brushed his leg as she sat next to him. Jessie smiled at Jonny.

"Hey hotshot." She said.

"Hi ace."

Jessie and Jonny sat in front of the fireplace thinking about each other hoping the other didn't notice the secret looks they were giving each other.

"This storm is pretty bad." Jessie commented.

"Yea. It's all right. We've got enough food to last us a while in the house we won't need to go anywhere." Jonny comforted Jessie.

"Let's play a game." She said.

"What game?"

"Um….wait a minute." Jessie took off to the kitchen and came back with a case of beer. "We'll play 'I Never'." She said placing the beers in front of herself and Jonny.

"Ok." He said as they opened their cans.

"You go first." She said.

"I never skinny dipped in the pool." Jonny said as he watched Jessie turn red as she drank her first sip.

"I never shoved someone in a pile of snow." She said as he drank.

"No fair that was like three days ago." He whined as She just smiled at him. "I never had sex." They both drank to that one.

"I never kissed a girl." Jonny gave her an irritated look but took his sip anyway. The game continued on till they had finished their beer. By then they had found out a lot about each other including how far they each went with their ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, who skinny dips all the time and anywhere, and who has stripped in public.

"Truth or dare?" Jonny asked.

"Truth." Jessie said.

"I love you." Jonny said slurring his speech a little bit.

"What?" Jessie said snapping back to reality.

'Shit I wasn't supposed to say that!' Jonny thought to himself. 'O well now I have to go with it.' "What I meant was….."

"I love you too." Jessie said. Before Jonny could respond Jessie kissed him. Jonny put his arms around her as Jessie wrapped hers around his neck. His tongue licked her lips asking for permission to enter, which was immediately granted. The two pulled apart breathing heavily.

"Jess." He said cupping her cheek in his hand. The two stumbled backward to the couch. Jessie lied down and pulled Jonny on top of her. "I love you." He said.

"I love you." She said before capturing his mouth with hers. As the fire died Jessie and Jonny's passion grew.
