YEah YEah I know I know its been to long. BLEHHH but finally i'm finished school for the year and have a couple months of so i can update way more regulary. Just be glad im back... SIT BACK AND ENJOYYYYY people

DISCLAIMER: WARNING: THIS IS NOT MEG CABOT THIS STORY IS NOT THE MEDIATOR JESSE ISN't REAL-CRYYY- BUT IF HE WAS HE IS MINE SO BACK OFF... I OWN THIS STORY PLOT, ACCORDING TO THE LAW I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS BUT IT Doesn't STOP MY IMAGINATION GOING TO A BEACH LYING ON MY BACK HAVING JESSE RUBBING IN SUNTAN LOTION HMMMM YUMMY

His eyebrows where furrowed-in a very adorable manner- and his gaze was piercing.

I struggled to contain a blush while acting innocent as if I didn't know exactly what he was thinking. I didn't know what expression was placed on my face but inwardly I did know my stomach was clenched in a tight fist.

I kept reminding myself over and over that I had nothing to be ashamed of.

Eventually it seemed to sink into my thick skull, composing myself I, gave Jesse a quizzical look.

"Whats wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?".

Jesse peered at me curiously for another moment then his features relaxed as a small secretive smile crept over his face.

"It's nothing Susannah, I just... you reminded me of someone," he said, eyes dancing in amusement "for a moment I thought you were someone else" he said it as if it was a secret that I was undoubtedly on the outside of.

I had come so close to him figuring it out, so dangerously close but in a split second he must have convinced himself to be imagining it. Or a least I hoped, did he in fact know but preferred to keep me from knowing that he knew. Oh god this is getting way to complex.

"Oh okay..." I trailed off.

An awkward silence followed and hung in the air for several minutes.

Nothing but pure silence.

Panic started to creep over me. What do I say now?

I opened my mouth to say the first thing that popped to mind-which in my case is never really a good thing.

Mercifully I was saved when the door audibly banged open. Jet black curls whipped past me and a small girl bounded herself upon Jesse, giggling.

"Jesseeeeeeeee" she squealed in delight. Jesse hugged her tightly and whispered something in her ear. Abruptly she turned to face me.

Out loud Jesse said "Josefina this is Susannah, shes your babysitter".

Mentally I cringed at the word babysitter.

"Hello Suuu...sann..n..."

"Susannah" Jesse prompted. In a stage whisper to me he said " Josefina has a little bit of trouble with pronunciation" and the he winked at me.

He actually winked. Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush and to my relief I didn't. Jesse plucked Josefina of his lap and stood up.

"Well I guess I should leave you lady's to it, see you around Susannah".

All I could do was mutter a feeble goodbye as he slipped out the door. Sighing I turned to his eagerly awaiting sister.

"So miss Josefina what shall we do today?"

" I wanna go swimming" she cried happily.

"Swimming it is".

*********

Thats how fifteen minutes later, decked out in the resorts regulation blue, unattractive one-piece I was teaching Josefina how to freestyle.

Which wouldn't have been so bad if not only an gorgeous, blond-hair-washboard-abs-stranger was watching me intently but a dark-haired-equally-buff-and-slightly -hotter-male-that-I-had-in-fact-already-met was as well. I tried to stay focused on my task, ignoring the intimidating stares.

Funnily enough, even though I had noticed both of them looking at me, they hadn't noticed each other looking at me.

Eventually as the gazes were getting to much to handle, Josefina decided she was getting to wrinkly and it was time to get out.

I handed her a towel and as I was busy wrapping one around my waist, I hadn't noticed anyone approach. But the looming shadow eventually tipped me off.

Was it Jesse? I wandered trying not to get my hopes up, or was it the blond stranger? Either way I guess I couldn't be to disappointed.

I turned around to be faced with blue eyes. Sea deep, piercing blue eyes.

"Hi I'm P..."

But he didn't get to finish as a thunderous voice called "PAUL SLATER!".

I looked over my shoulder to see Jesse storming over.

Man did he look mad.

"Paul, what the HELL are you doing here?". The guy called Paul had a taunting smirk on his face.

"Well JESSE, this is a RESORT and I'm staying here with my FAMILY".

"Um.. so you guys know each other?" I interjected.

"Yes," said Jesse shortly "and were leaving NOW" he grasped my arm, gently and started to steer me away, with Josefina following.

"BYE SUSANNAH" Paul called and as I looked over my shoulder he winked at me.

Okay so whats with all the winking?

When we got to Jesse's suite and Josefina had run to her room I turned to face Jesse, eyebrows raised.
"So are you going to tell me what the hell that was about?"

EH EH EH .... TO BE CONTINUED

XOXO IMPULSIVE-ROSE :P :P :P
