CHAPTER 8-I "Think" We're Alone Now

~~Thank you for the follows I have been receiving. If you all wouldn't mind, please drop some reviews just so I can know how this is going. I never get reviews and it would mean a lot if you could throw some to me. Sorry for it being a long update, typing two stories at once is hard work.

Luckily Jessica didn't have to wear Nicky's clothes for long as hers was completely dr y. She was just relieved because she didn't feel comfortable in her clothes. The reason being was that they were too tight and she didn't know her that well yet. After learning that she had been with Craig instead of J, it rubbed her wrong faintly and she was standing in front of the dry waiting for the bathing suit.

"Hey, I really hope you are not mad for earlier" Craig had stepped over with two beers before holding one out to her. "Here, a little peace offering"

She was right in the middle of tying her hair up into a messy bun when she glanced at him. "I told you I'm not drinking" Jessica replied and it came out a little harsher than intended.

"Okay, I didn't think you would get that pissed over Baz throwing you inside the pool. We were just messing around like we did when we were kids, what's the big deal?" He could understand her being a little irritated but not to the extent she was. "What? Do you want me to apologize? I'm sorry, does that solve our problem?"

Jessica heard the noise go off from the dryer and she leaned forward to turn it off. "What's the deal with you and Nicky? You do realize she's like jailbait right?" She wasn't sure if she was underage but J was seventeen so she assumed they were the same age.

"What's the deal between you and Baz?" He countered back which made her snap her head in his direction. Craig had smiled a little before going back to her question. "She's like a few months from being eighteen, her family is gone to some country and she's a cool girl"

"Which that means having sex and doing coke together right?" Jessica couldn't recall anytime that he had a girlfriend or just a girl that stuck around. She was excluding Ren because they were friends and she hadn't seen much of her in the last few years. "She's underage Craig; you really don't need to be messing around with her"

He set both beers on the washer and crossed his arms, looking down at her. "And you didn't see nothing wrong with losing your virginity to your brother did you?" The look on her face had changed. "Yeah, Nicky asked so before you start judging me I would take a look in the mirror"

Jessica had no idea why Nicky would resort to Craig for information especially when it had to do with her. Everyone knew about that time because Smurf had actually caught them right in the middle of it. She had gone on and on about it for days and even Julia was wrapped up in the mix.

"This has nothing to do with me Craig. All I'm trying to say is you need to back off of her before something happens that you are not going to be able to walk away from"

"I know exactly what you are saying; you think I'll take advantage of her like Baz did to you"

Feeling taken back by the remark, she honestly felt it as a slap in the face. Out of all of her brothers she and Craig always went at it. They had clashing personalities and she always tried to act like a big sister to him when it was the other way around. Jessica didn't know why he was biting so hard at her and that only started to make her bite back.

Shaking her head heavily, she glanced around the backyard to make sure no one was around. "Baz didn't take advantage of me. Don't try making him sound like a fucking pedophile when you are doing the same thing"

"Oh, I'm a pedophile?" Craig asked removing his arms from his chest, he was slowly getting angry. "I'm sorry but who was the one sleeping with Baz while Julia was messing around with him too?" Closing her mouth, he didn't stop there. "You two got kicked out because of him and that's why she started to hate you. Why do you think Pope convinced her to go to rehab, it wasn't you Jessica. Ever since you got here you look at me with judgement because I like to have fun"

Scoffing out a laugh of surprise, this conversation was taking a complete turn. "You're the one trying to get me to snort a line of coke with you at the bar, are you kidding me? What is your problem with Baz that you have to take it out on me?"

They both could tell their voices were rising and it was something that neither really wanted to get into. Feeling attacked, Jessica slammed the dryer shut and waited for him to answer. Craig had sighed heavily and grabbed the beers. "I'm not taking anything out on you…Let's just forget about all of this and live peacefully among one another, deal?"

Jessica had debated on it but wouldn't forget what he said. She still felt very indifferent and hurt by it but she would brush it off for now. The reason being is she didn't want anyone else picking up anything and especially not Smurf.

She stepped away to go change into her normal clothes and give Nicky hers back. Sliding the door into the kitchen, she moved back into the bathroom and quickly changed before anyone stepped back inside. Smurf was out back at the grill while the boys had been mostly hanging around the pool and elsewhere.

After feeling refreshed, Jessica folded the clothes and wondered where she should put them. She didn't know where she was staying even though she assumed it would be with Craig. Moving into his bedroom, she placed the gently on the bed and glanced around at the memories. She headed to her old room that she shared with Julia for a while until she moved out and it officially became her room. It was weird being back in there because there was an equal amount of good and bad that happened in there.

Going back out into the kitchen, the blonde had wanted a glass of water so she moved to one of the cabinets. Opening the one closest to the refrigerator, she realized it was just plates. Smurf must have done some switching around and she didn't know where the glasses were.

Hearing the backdoor slide open, she turned around. "I can't find the glasses, where did she put them?"

Baz had been closing the door, he moved over towards the island in the middle. "They are above the sink now. She had this moment where she decided to go crazy and change everything in here"

Nodding at his words, Jessica stepped over to the sink and opened the cabinet to look. There were different types of drinking glasses inside so she was trying to figure out what one to take. "Thanks by the way"

She had gone to turn around to face him again until she collided until something. She knew it was him because it was obvious it was a person, a man in fact and he was the only one in the house. Setting the glass down, she placed her hands on the sink. "Now what are you trying to do?"

Baz was at least two inch taller than her so it was a benefit that he could tower over her to a certain degree. Smirking faintly, he placed his hands forward and on top of hers that were laying on the counter. Shifting back slightly, he gave her a little bit of room to move but he had her trapped right where he wanted her.

"Seriously Baz, back up before we get in trouble or something" She said trying to pull her hands away. Jessica turned her head slightly to peer over her shoulder at him.

"We're not kids anymore Jess, that line isn't going to work. Smurf can see all she wants" He commented back to her.

Laughing faintly, she got one hand free. "Just like she saw us the first time? Look, I don't know about you but the next time we have sex I don't want her deciding to catch us in the act"

That was one thing that always bothered her about everything. Smurf seemed to know everything about every one of her kids even if they hid it well. It was going to be a secret if anything came from it and she wanted to do everything in her power to keep her mother from knowing. When she decided to lose her virginity to Baz everything was going perfect until Smurf decided to come home early.

She hadn't let either of them get away with it but making comments constantly but Jessica was the one that received more but that was before she was kicked out. After spending almost a year with a friend of hers, she was allowed to go back home.

"Oh, I see now. I didn't know you were planning on another time" He said before looking towards the door and leaned back further to see if anyone was coming.

Removing her other hand quickly, she spun around and now her back was pressed up against the sink. She tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder and glanced between his arms. Baz had turned his attention sharply back to her and narrowed his eyes towards her but not in a mean way.

It was time for Jessica to smile towards him. "If I were you I would really contain your excitement" Her blue grey eyes had trailed down and she was ready to pull her move she did nights ago. Leaning forward, she reached out and grabbed his manhood again. "I have you by this Baz and you are going to keep thinking with it as long as I'm around"

Jessica believed that it was going to throw him off but Baz had instead kept his cool. He of course moved slightly out of reaction yet still stayed perfectly still. They had both been staring each other down like two animals fighting one another for food. Raising an eyebrow, she waited for a response but there was something else up his sleeve.

"Cat got your tongue? You're not going to say anything at the moment or are you just feeling paranoid that someone is going to see this?" She now glanced over towards the door and was only pushing him because he was doing it to her. Her heart was beating like crazy because she didn't want Smurf to walk in.

Now that Baz knew she was distracted, he removed his hands from the sink and instead placed them on the bottom of her thighs. Pulling her up, that made Jessica let go and let him do what he was doing. Picking her off the of the floor, Baz lifted her and set her on the edge of the sink with Jessica having no choice but to grab his upper arms for extra support.

"I've got you exactly where you want at the same time" Baz grabbed the front of her shirt and began to unbutton a few of them and Jessica let him, watching every movement. He then trailed his hands down to her shorts. Placing them on her hips, he tugged on the belt loops and Jessica voluntarily leaned forward to have their faces inches apart.

"What are you going to do? Do me on the counter?" She couldn't help but become excited and interested herself. She moved her hands towards the edge of his t-shirt, wanting to pull it over his head.

With their faces inches apart, Baz spoke, "Is that what you want?"

Nodding slowly, Jessica pouted before leaning forward the same time he did. Their lips had met and it seemed like no one else even existed. She had wanted to do that since she saw him again, actually she wanted to do that when Cath told her to stay away from him. It was a desire that she had always been told to stay away from but Jessica couldn't help it.

On the other hand Baz had always seemed like he had a thing for Jessica. Then again he did have a way with him and especially Julia but there was a different connection he had with her. There was the same line of being told not to and it was hard to not act on that. Also, the two of them didn't get to finish what they had started numerous times.

Both Baz and Jessica ignore everything in their surrounding for the time being until it was going to get interrupted once again. J had been limping his way towards the door on Smurf's order to have his leg checked out. He had been looking down when he opened it but stopped completely when he saw them.

J hadn't been sure on what to do so he looked behind him then turned back to him. He cleared his voice which made Jessica back up from Baz, her shoulders hitting the cabinets and making a thud. She looked down at herself and began to button her shirt before hopping off the sink. Baz had moved away from her and turned the other way.

"Um…Smurf asked if you could check my leg out…" He said quietly flickering his eyes between them in surprise. He still didn't know Jessica that well so it would be a shock to him.

"Yeah, I'll grab my things from the car. It will be easier for me to do everything in the bathroom" She said looking up at him, her cheeks slightly rosy.

The boy had nodded and began making his way in that direction. Baz turned his head to the right to see him moving along. Jessica had placed her hand on Baz's shulder for a moment before walking away and out onto the patio. Once again their moment didn't get far and was interrupted. Even though both of them had wanted it, they never seemed to even get near having sex.

As she was walking by the pool, Craig shouted out, "What took you so long?"

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear out of nervousness, Jessica didn't say anything. She glanced over at him, wiped her lips and quickly made her way to her jeep. Baz was only a few seconds coming out after her and he went to sit by the pool.

"What's your problem?" Pope asked him, luckily he didn't have seat to the show earlier.

"Nothing…" He answered back, leaning for his drink he had before. "What? Nothing is wrong, okay?"

Jessica had returned back into the house through the front door instead of coming from the back and watching everyone's reaction. Meeting J in the bathroom, she had asked him to sit on the toilet lid in order for her to check it out.

Unwrapping his bandage, Jessica sat down on the floor before going for her peroxide. "I'm sorry about interrupting earlier…Smurf had sent me in and I had no idea that you and Baz making out…"

She hadn't said anything and continued to do what she needed. She started to wipe around the wound and J began feeling uncomfortable. He didn't know anything he could say that would change what was in the air so he thought it was best to stay quiet.

"Everything is looking good. The antibiotics are killing the infection perfectly, the wound is slowly starting to stitch together and scab…I know it still hurts like a bitch but once it closes a bit more it will stop. Does it still bleed a lot?"

Looking at the old bandage, Jessica examined it before looking at J. "No, not really. I mean sometimes when I take a shower it does but not as much"

"That's more than likely all the blood that's stuck within the stitches and it trying to heal. Did you get that tetanus shot that you needed?" J had given her a skeptical look, he forgot about it completely. "Alright, let me see if I can get something then from the clinic because you'll forget again. After your shower don't wrap it back up and let it breath for a while"

She began to wrap the wound again even though it didn't need a bandage. Jessica was worried that he'd get another infection because losing his leg at that age would be a disaster. She had been a nurse, not a surgeon and there was no fixing that.

Jessica began to wash her hands off and looked into the mirror a moment. Getting up, he began to help clean up her supplies. "J?" She asked and that got his attention. "Can you keep all of this quiet?"

"Keep what quiet?" He wasn't entirely sure what she meant between her and Baz or his leg.

"What you say? If anyone finds out, especially Smurf…"

J had no doubt in his mind that she wouldn't like what transpired. Smurf seemed to show who she liked more and Jessica wasn't on her favorite list. He agreed to not say anything though the dinner they were expecting was going to change that.
