A.N - Yay. Finally the document manager is working again. I've been waiting forever to post this chapter. Yes It's short I'm sorry. Next chapter is another little filler and we jump forward a load in time. Then Chapter 17 is plot again.

Lady Of The Night should be updated pretty soon. Me and Moondancing Millie have been busy and all. What with going back to school again today. Not nice.

And Please check out my fic Temptation. It doesn't seem to be doing so well. Shameless Advertising. :D

Chapter 15

"Susannah!" She heard her name being called by the voice of her boyfriend.

"Susannah!"

She walked over to her window seat and opened the window which gave you a beautiful view of the Pacific.

"I'm here," she called down before making to climb down.

"Why couldn't you have just knocked the door like normal people do?" She teased once she'd reached the safety of Jesse's arms.

"Where's the fun in that?" He asked with a heart-flipping smile before claiming her lips in a kiss.

Regretfully, she pulled away.

"How did that thing with Paul go, anyway?"

Her boyfriend groaned into her hair.

"Really?" She played. "That good?"

"Don't even joke." Jesse replied. "He has this insane idea we knew each other in a past life."

"Wow."

"I know." Jesse took Suze's hand and walked towards his car. "I left after he told me. It's kind of a weird concept, don't you think?"

"Weird." Suze agreed from her seat next to him inside the car. "But not completely implausible."

Jesse froze in his action of turning the key in the ignition.

"You believe him?" He asked incredulously.

"It's not like it's really out there," She said softly. "I mean, as far as ideas go, it does make sense."

At Jesse's look, she continued.

"I mean," she tried to explain again. "Considering what we are and what you've seen - you did say that there were doors lining the walls in Purgatory, right?" At his nod she continued. "Is it really so hard to believe? You don't know what's on the other side of those doors."

Jesse took Susannah into his arms and placed an affectionate kiss on the top of her forehead.

"I suppose not," He agreed. "I did feel drawn to you, when I first saw you."

His admission was whispered into her ear.

"Well," She teased him again, deciding to forego the serious conversation. "I can't say the same about you. But there was something to be said about Paul Slater …"

Jesse's arms around her waist tightened.

"I'm only messing Jesse." She looked him straight in the eye, willing him to believe her next statement. "I love you."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Suze wondered if she had made a mistake in telling him. They had only known each other for two weeks after all.

But the words just felt so right. And every inch of her knew they were true.

"Jesse?" Suze ventured after a long silence. "Are you alright?"

Then his dark eyes darkened further and he kissed her. Fiercely and possessively.

They broke apart only when breath was needed.

"I love you too, Susannah."

That was all the incentive she needed to wrap her arms around his neck and begin the kissing session all over again.

When they finally broke apart again, Jesse was the first to speak.

"Okay, that made up for the whole spending time with Paul and not you thing."

Suze merely smiled.

"Good."

Jesse laughed and placed another kiss on her lips before taking her in his arms and just holding her. Enjoying their closeness.

"I do love you Susannah," he said. "Since I first laid eyes on you. Two hundred years ago, if Paul's anything to go by."

"I know." She replied. "And I really do love you too, Jesse."

There was never a more perfect silence then the one that resided in that car. Occasionally, one of the pair muttered an 'I love you' to which the replied that they knew. Each time the sentiment was uttered, a soft kiss would follow.

Too soon for both of the pair, Susannah left the car, ready to make the climb back up to her bedroom.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She whispered, all to aware of the time and who may be asleep.

Jesse smiled and waved, still giddy from her admission.

He waited long enough to ensure she was inside safely before driving off. Suddenly, having school tomorrow wasn't so bad.
