Support site: its in 'triple w dot geocities dot com backslash resplendents1" (sorry got to spell it out so the fanfic site would pass it through.) please help me finish the site…
From the author: please do tell me about freakangel. I just need to contact her.
Ok for those of you that wonder I am not against Shalimar nor against Shalimar and Brennan pairing. Actually I love them together. But I'm a writer…and an open minded writer at that. I write this FICTION to entertain readers special those that love Emma and Brennan. Everything that I write here does not necessarily means that it's true. So please don't be so upset if I introduce Shalimar as the bitchy type of woman. I would also do the same to Emma if I need to. Again this is only a FAN FICTION…it means not true… okay…
*I'm sorry*
Chapter 7
It has been a month now and Emma is almost ready to go. She just needs a practical test and Adam knew exactly what to do with her. Emma really did not want to do it. She thinks its gross but then she could not really do anything else but to obey Adam.
Brennan found himself really worried about Emma. He would stay up until Emma and Jesse come back home from the training. And each time he see Emma and Jesse, the two seemed to get closer and sweeter each day. He hates the idea. Still he's worried about her. Really worried. Like now, it's about midnight and Emma and Jesse has not returned yet. 'What's keeping them?' he thought. He was sitting on the edge of the pond section of the Sanctuary still waiting for Emma and Jesse.
At last, he heard voices from the transport stable. He knew that it was Emma's voice he heard. He quickly concealed himself and waited for Jesse and Emma to step in the Sanctuary's Lounge.
"That was really tiring!" Emma commented while she removed her coat. She was getting used at wearing revealing clothes. Jesse helped her with it. He took her things and smiled at her. She was beautiful and attractive. It was only the fact that she was his best friend that kept him from fantasizing about her. Jesse found it hard to look at Emma without being aroused whereas he was really trying his best to control his manhood.
Emma looked at Jesse and grinned at him. "Are you alright, Jess?" she asked him and he just nodded. "Are you sure?" Emma stepped closer to him and brought her hands on his forehead. Jesse shivered at her touch. This is not happening to him. He could see a hint of teasing from Emma's voice. 'Does she think this is funny?' Jesse asked himself.
Emma giggled when she felt Jesse shivered under her touch. "You are too tensed." She whispered in his ears as she walked behind him. She placed her hands on his shoulder and started massaging him. "Here, let me help."
Jesse gasped when he felt Emma's soft hand on his skin and her warm breath on his ears. She was just amazing. "Emma," he softly whispered. "Stop, please." He said then moved away from her.
"What?" Emma tried to sound so innocent. "What did I do?"
Jesse looked at her with his gentle blue eyes. "Please, I don't…I'm not…I should not be thinking of this." Jesse stammered and he tried to avoid her eyes.
"Think what Jesse?" Emma walked closed to him. She could feel he was ready to give in and she felt really guilty.
"This!" was Jesse's terse reply before he grabbed her and kissed her. There was nothing passionate about the kiss. It was just full of hunger--two people needing to be loved. Jesse's mind was screaming at him. "Shalimar!" he softly said. His heart was yearning for Shalimar and how he wished this was Shalimar he was kissing.

Brennan felt his world stopped for a moment when Jesse grabbed Emma and kissed her. It took him a few moments to realizes that that was sign that he had lost Emma forever. 'No' his brain insisted. He had to do something and he had to do it quick.
Jesse was quite shocked when he felt Brennan's fist on his face. "Brennan!" Jesse heard Emma yelled.
"What is wrong with you?" Emma screamed at Brennan while attending at Jesse's bleeding nose.
"What is wrong with YOU?" Brennan threw her back the question with a stressed accent on the last word. Fury could be seen through his brown eyes. Jealousy was written all over his face. He yanked Emma once more away from Jesse. "I'm taking you to your room."
"Brennan, you are hurting me!" Emma pleaded as she tried to pull herself free off Brennan.
Jesse was not sure what was happening but he could not let Brennan hurt Emma that way. "Let go of her, Brennan." Jesse firmly said.
"This is none of your business, Jess. So just back off." Brennan told Jesse without looking at him.
"Don't make me hurt you!" Jesse warned him but Brennan was not letting Emma go. She wanted her so badly; needed her. This woman was taken away from him for so long and now that he was holding her, he has no intensions of letting her go. Jesse started to walk after them when Brennan started to drag Emma with him. "I said let go!" Jesse spat out and his fist made contact with Brennan's prominent nose. Brennan fell on the floor. He looked back at Jesse angrily then he created a small amount of electricity on his palm he was ready to hit Jesse when Emma got in the way.
"Get out of the way Emma!" he commanded.
"No, you should get out of OUR way. You are completely out of league, Brennan." Emma was holding back the tears that were about to fall from her emerald. Brennan didn't know why but the word 'OUR' had completely different meaning for him. "I'm JUST your FRIEND. So stop acting like you are more than that." With that Emma pulled Jesse away from the scene.
The coil in Brennan's hand dried out as if it was placed in a rubber box. Brennan was left there staring at the empty space Emma left.

"I'm so sorry Jesse" Emma apologized when they reached the molecular's room. "That should not happen if I did not flirted around."
"Was that your first mission?" Jesse asked softly and Emma just nodded.
"I'm really sorry. I told Adam that seducing you is not a good idea but he insisted." Emma looked away as she tried to avoid Jesse's eyes.
Jesse smiled and took her hand. "It's okay." He assured her. "But that is not what I wanted to know." Jesse willed Emma to look at him. Emma's heart beat a fast as it could. She wanted to go out and run to her room but she stayed there. Somehow she felt safe there…safe from Brennan's fury.
"Tell me Emma. Coz I won't believe if you just tell me Brennan was protecting you as a friend. Something was going on out there."
"Wh…what…what do you mean?" Emma gasped for breath as she don't know how to explain thing to Jesse.
"When you he saw us…you know…if fueled him. Friends don't feel that way. I don't feel that way when I see you around with others. I feel that way when SHAL is around other man and I have a good reason for feeling that way. So I'm asking you this and don't try and tell me the same lies you told me before. I knew you were lying. Well, at least half of it were lies."
Emma blushed. She didn't know Jesse know her that much. Should she tell him? Would it be right? What would he do if she told him? Emma looked back at Jesse, lost in her thoughts as she thinks of Brennan and what just happen that same night.
