Chapter 9

"Dude you up? Reid?" Tyler asked, he couldn't sleep and he wasn't going to force himself to

"Mmm." Was Reid response. Tyler decided not to bug his friend any more he needed the sleep so he got up and walked out into the main cabin. He looked around, Caleb and Pogue were asleep in chairs in the back and Lilly was asleep near the front while Jessica was at the conference table drawing something.

"Hey, you can't sleep either?" He asked.

"Yeah, I keep seeing them. I got about an hour but that's it." Tyler sat down next to her and looked at the paper.

"You saw this?"

Jessica did a double take of her drawing of Chase and Caleb fighting. "Yeah, I guess I was trying to figure out how he did it so quickly."

"You shouldn't worry about it." just as he said it his leg brushed against hers. Jessica looked down at her paper and her head was lifted by Tyler's hand. He looked into her eyes and he could see so much more sadness then a few hours before. Jessica heard her mom's voice, 'don't fall. Against rules,' but told her to shut up and slowly learned forward to Tyler. Tyler smiled as he came closer and took her head into his hands and brought her into the kiss that he had been waiting for. Jessica ran her fingers through his hair as she lengthened the kiss then she pulled away with a smile on her face.

"Do you two want the back room?" Reid asked, they both turned their heads to the back part of the cabin to see Reid standing next to an awake Caleb and Pogue.

"Its about time Baby boy," Pogue said.

"Yeah chicka I thought you would've made the first move by now." Lilly said kneeling in her chair then ducking when Jessica threw a pillow at her. Jessica made a sideways glance at Tyler, he was a little pink but he still had a smile on his face. Jessica laughed and smoothed out his hair that she messed up then she grabbed his hand and intertwined her fingers with his. His skin felt so good against hers.

"You guys hungry?" Jessica asked trying to drive the attention away from her and Tyler.

"Only hungry to watch you two kiss again," Reid replied.

"Shove off man," Tyler called back.

"Dude, you've been drooling over her for the past week and you've finally made your move. I've been waiting for this for years I want to watch it again." Reid said as he put his arm around Tyler's shoulder. Jessica pushed his arm off Tyler's shoulder before she grabbed Tyler's face and kissed him. Tyler was at first a little surprise but then he got into it and Jessica had to pull away before they really gave a show.

"Happy man-whore?" she asked raising an eyebrow as she tried to control her breathing.

"Satisfied." He replied with a smirk on his face. Jessica stared at him then gave a small laugh

"What's this?" Caleb asked looking at the picture Jessica had drawn. He eyed Jessica then the paper.

"You should know." She said getting up. "I wasn't even awake when I drew it."

"I'll say. You can't draw and this is like really in depth." Lilly said looking at the paper.

"Can we get something to eat, I'm starving," Jessica said. She just really needed to get out of the room.

"Sure," Lilly said. She and Jessica walked into the kitchen to make something to eat for them and the boys.

The boys watched them disappear then they huddled closer together at the conference table.

"How was it?" Reid asked.

"Reid he doesn't have to say anything," Pogue interrupted, "but was she good or, what?"

"Was it your first?" Reid asked.

"Reid!" Caleb said too loudly then the other three boys 'shhed' him.

"It was nice." Tyler said quietly. "And it wasn't my first Reid, just because I'm not all over every girl I meet doesn't mean I've never had a girlfriend." Reid looked at him doubitly.

"They're talking about you." Lilly said from behind the curtain.

"Lilly don't listen to their conversation," Jessica hissed. She walked over to Lilly about to pull her away. "What are they saying?" she asked but then regretted it.

"That it was nice." She replied. Lilly straightened up and walked over to the fridge. "Nice? That's it, just nice, not amazing? I saw that kiss and it was pretty damn steamy."

"Lilly you shouldn't've been listening."

"You wanted to know. I think you should be all over him that'll make it better than nice and Reid is giving him pointers, ever think of kissing him?"

"No! Reid is Reid and Tyler is like no other guy I've dated or met. He's…different." Jessica replied as she put some sandwich stuff on the counter. Her eyes turned blue as the sandwiches made themselves.

"You like him, you like him." Lilly sang as she ran around the room. "But seriously you two are like the cutest thing to ever come together. I think I should see, you know who."

"Come on Lilly, you cant always go running to what's her face the fortune teller. You have to let things just happen."

"Like, letting you and Tyler be alone again?"

"Lilly," Jessica said looking at her best friend straight in the eye, "you know the rules."

"Since when do you follow the rules? What did Spencer do to my 'fuck it' best friend?"

"Since this is the matter of the heart."

"Romeo and Juliet, Jessica!" she cried stomping her foot.

"Lilly, just drop it." Jessica said in a stern voice before she walked out of the kitchen with everyone's sandwich. She placed them on the table in front of the person they belonged to before sitting back down next to Tyler. She thought that he wouldn't make a move because he would be too embarrassed from earlier but he placed his hand on Jessica's knee and gave it a light squeeze before grabbing her hand. She turned to him and they looked at each other smiling before going back to their meal.

"Jessica Johnson!" Jessica heard her mother hiss in her ear.

"Leave me alone mother!"

"The rules! You cant!"

"Well I just did and I am. What's the worst that could happen?"

"Everything! And chew with your mouth closed!"

"No! Now leave!" Jessica waited for a response but nothing came and she let out a sigh in relief.

"We have a few more hours till we touch down, Ms. Macedon." The captain said over the intercom a few hours later.

"So we know the plan?" Caleb asked and everyone nodded.

"They're almost here." Chase said as he and Jason walked around in downtown. "They'll be looking for us at the wall later on tonight and then we can attack. We'll be stronger."

Jason didn't say anything, he knew that his sister and Jessica would be able to save him, he wasn't worried. The only thing he was worried about was how they will do it and he was even more worried about Jessica.
