A/N: POV flips back and forth between Katie and Jessie (in that order). POV separated by the long string of ------ lines.
A/N 2: I wrote this 3 years ago, and (obviously) I was much younger. I didn't feel like cutting out the movie date, and I didn't feel like rewriting it, so sorry y'all got stuck with it. I know it's extremely cheesy, but at the time I thought it'd be cute. Lol.
--------------------
"Oomph" I said as I rolled over and hit something solid... and there was something touching me... or holding me, to be more precise. Arms wrapped around my waist. What was in my bed at this early hour? Ok, so 11am isn't that early, but it was Saturday, and 11am on a Saturday morning is very much in the realm of being considered early. So what... or more specifically, who was in my bed? I sat up, sleepily rubbing my eyes, and stretched while letting out a long yawn.
I looked around and spotted a pile of curly blond hair beside me, connected to a beautiful body dressed in some of the cutest pjs I'd seen in a long while, and the memories of the night before came rushing back to me.
I brushed the hair out of my beloved's face and just stared at her for a long while. Jessie was so adorable... but even more than that, she was beautiful. I sat, staring at Jessie's face for a long while just taking in her beauty and musing about how lucky I was to be the one who got to hold her, to have her in my arms, to be able to love her and be loved by her.
I smiled down at Jessie and stroked her hair. As I stared at her, I was overcome with feelings of love towards the girl sleeping beside me, and wished for this moment to never end. An invisible force tugged at me to lean down and kiss her, a force that I don't think I could have stopped even if I wanted to. So that was exactly what I did.
----------------------
I groaned at the contact, but my eyes remained closed. It took me a second or two for my brain finally to register what exactly was happening, and when it did, I started to kiss back wholeheartedly. It was a long lazy kiss, and I rolled onto my back, pulling Katie onto me and holding on to her tightly.
Oh, body contact is such a good thing, I thought, pulling Katie as close to myself as humanly possible.
----------------------
I was enjoying the closeness – the contact – as well; maybe even a bit too much... if that was possible. Jessie pulled away from me.
"Well good morning to you too!" Jessie said, as I tried very hard to regain any notion of coherent thought.
"Ehm, yeah."
Good one, Singer, I thought. Coherency is a good thing... lips, work!
"So, um, how did you sleep?" I somehow managed to get out. Jessie smiled and gave me another kiss... a kiss that turned into many long kisses.
Coherency? What's that? I thought... or tried to think. Thoughts weren't coming... well, some were, but they weren't very good thoughts... thoughts I best not be thinking now nor anytime soon.
We laid there for a while just holding each other. Our make-out session ended a bit ago, and we were just enjoying the feel of one against the other. I had my eyes closed, and was just enjoying listening to Jessie breathe. I started to laugh when I heard Jessie's stomach growl and began to get out of bed to get breakfast. Jessie felt my movement and tightened her grip on me, so that I couldn't move.
"No" Jessie stated and I grinned.
"What, you don't want breakfast?" I asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah, I want breakfast, I just don't want you to leave." I laughed. She was just too cute.
"Well babe, I hate to break it to ya, but we don't have room service, so if you want breakfast, one of us will have to go get it. And considering that I live here, and you don't, that eliminates you, and leaves me. So therefore, I will go get breakfast for us." I finished and turned to look at Jessie who was laughing hysterically.
"What?" I asked. I admit, I was confused. I didn't see anything that funny about my last statement. It took Jessie a few seconds to catch her breath before she could respond.
"Heh, it's like you took logic or something. That was great, you combined your logic and babbling together. Priceless, just priceless." Jessie continued to chuckle, and I put on a mock offended face and crossed my arms in a pout.
"It's like your babblings use to be completely random, but now they make some sort of sense, and they have actually become kind of logical! The world must be coming to an end!" Jessie guffawed
"Oh really?" I replied in a less than enthusiastic voice. Jessie noticed the less-than-pleased look on my face.
"Aww, come 'ere." She said, and when I leaned over, she gave me a long kiss.
Ehm, I guess she knows how to get back onto my good side. Not that I could actually stay mad at her for more than period of 5 minutes... but still.
"You know I love you." Jessie whispered when we finally broke apart. I grinned.
"Yep, and that better be one thing that never changes... even if some of my babbling is a bit more logical," I teased. Jessie grew serious.
"No chance of that, my love. No chance of that."
"Come on Jessie, we're going to be late! I told your mom that we'd meet her at the deli at 12:30, and it's already 12:20!" I yelled towards the bedroom. I love that girl, but some days she can take forever to get ready.
"Hold your horses, I'm almost done." She yelled back. I took a peak in the room, and she was standing in front of my mirror putting the finishing touches on her hair.
Beautiful as always.
"There," she proclaimed. "Finished." She said, dusting off anything that may have been on her shirt. I grinned at the sight.
"Well it's about time," I said, still smirking. She playfully slapped my arm.
"So are we going?" she asked, tapping her foot. I held my arms out and motioned for her to go first.
"After you, M'lady."
She grinned. "Thank you." And with that we left the apartment... only 10 minutes later than I wanted, which was quite an accomplishment if you ask me.
I was able to speed a bit so we got there only 5 minutes late. I had to park a couple of blocks away, so we got out of the car and I took Jessie's hand and we began walking. We spotted Karen sitting outside the deli in one of her business suits, looking all professional, yet anxious to see her daughter at the same time. As we walked up, her back was to us and I saw her playing with the napkin on the table to keep her hands busy, and to distract her from the excitement. Jessie let go of my hand and ran to meet her mother.
"Mom" she squealed and threw her arms around Karen's neck. Karen was a bit surprised, she obviously hadn't thought that we would be coming from this direction, but pleased to see her daughter none the less. We sat down and chatted about school, life, and generally everything for the next hour or so before Karen had to get back to work.
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked. She shrugged.
"I donno, a movie or something?" She suggested while scrunching her nose. So cute. I nodded. Sounded good to me, but what movie would be good to go to? I was a big fan of some horror movies, and I especially enjoyed seeing them with Jessie, because she was extremely jumpy and always grabbed onto me for an extended amount of time. 'Hmmm... sounds like a perfect plan.'
"Ummm... I just heard about a new movie that just came out, it's called 'The Missing'. I think it has Tommy Lee Jones and that lady from Lord of the Rings... Cate something... Ya know, the gorgeous blond elf lady?" I teased and Jessie scowled.
"I knew you always had a thing for blonds, but really Katie..." She started, only to be interrupted by my lips on hers.
"I'm just teasing; you know you're the only girl for me." She blushed and looked around to see if anyone was watching us, and when she was satisfied, she grinned at me.
"Same here." She whispered back.
"So what do you say, does that sound like a date, Miss Sammler?" I asked as I offered her my arm.
"I believe it does, Miss Singer." she said as she took it.

Have I mentioned how much I really love horror flicks? And that blond daughter chick was HOT! She looked a lot like Jessie, and I do mean A LOT. I guess people are right when they say that everyone has a twin somewhere. Unless Jessie really isn't living in Australia, and she lives in Hollywood and is making movies... hmm... maybe I should ask her about that.
Anyhow, it was wonderful. I had her arm around her the entire time, and she snuggled up against me, and basically climbed into my lap during the scary parts. Not that I minded at all, no way... far from it. Every once in awhile I'd lean over and give her a quick kiss to reassure her, and a few times they turned out to be... uhh... not so quick. They actually lasted for a rather long while. Once again, not that I minded.
Over all, the movie was good, a success rather, and I know what to go see whenever I miss Jessie! Ummm... well, ok, I see where that could be a problem, because then I'd be living at the movie theater, and I'd never go to school... or work... which would present the problem of me running out of money, and then I couldn't see the movie, and I'd be homeless or something like that. Well, you get the point.
------------------------------
The movie was pretty good, but I swear Katie likes to take me to horror movies for the
sole reason that I'm all over her. So what, I'm a wimp when it comes to scary movies, what of it? I normally prefer a classic, or a romance, or a comedy, but nooo... Katie has to take me to the horror movies. Oh well, such is life, eh? I guess I don't mind that much, I mean, I do enjoy being able to crawl all over her in public, and I was pretty much sitting in her lap the entire time, which felt really good. And it was just so sweet how she leaned over and gave me those little kisses. She is so adorable.
And what was up with that blond daughter? Katie could not keep her eyes off of her. Whenever she was on the screen, Katie's eyes were glued to it. I guess she did look a little like me, I donno. I was too busy trying not to be scared out of my wits and concentrating on holding on to Katie.

TBC? Let me know! Leave me some love... or non-love, but preferably love. Whatever, just give me feedback :-D
