Chapter 3: Reflections and A Surprise

(A/N: Jesse asked Angel out in the beginning of seventh grade for both of them. They are both 13 as of right now. Right now it is about the middle of November. They started going out in September. When the change grades in the story I will tell you. As well as I will tell you if you need to know what month it is. Someone asked me a really good question. They asked if Jesse is a vampire. I'm sorry; no he is not a vampire. In fact none of my characters are vampires. The reason this is under Twilight is because I got a lot of my story ideas from twilight. I hope that doesn't make you stop reading. I promise the story will get more interesting. As of right now the next chapter is in all of Jesse POV. It is the description of Angel. HAPPY READING!!!!!!) 

Angels POV

I was sitting on the couch with Jesse like we usually did after we had finished watching a movie. It was about three months after we had started dating. He was holding me close to his body and I could feel his chest go up and down as he breathed. I started to remember a day about a month or two before he asked me out when we were outside playing basketball together. We go to a middle/elementary school that is located on a college campus so we were playing on one of the basketball courts. It was a reward for being good in the class and for a couple of other things too. The rest of our class had gone inside because they wanted to watch a movie. I hadn't gone inside because Jesse hadn't gone inside and I really wanted to be out there with him because I really liked him. He wanted to stay outside because he really likes sports and he wanted to keep playing basketball. While we were playing, he kept challenging me to steal the ball from him. We started to play two on two. Of course it was extremely unfair because I had never played basketball on a team before and I was horrible. To make it worse, he was amazing at basketball. While we played I kept surprising him by stealing the ball and when he would try to pass the ball in between my legs, I would block it and the steal it. I had really enjoyed that day and after we had been dating for a few months a told him how much I enjoyed playing basketball with him that day. Jesse laughed and said that he had enjoyed it a lot too. Then he teased me by saying that he was just going easy on me. Then he got that crocked grin on his face and I playfully punched him on the shoulder and then I laid back down on his chest. As I laid there, I felt the rise and fall of his chest and listened to his heart beat. As I was doing this I couldn't help but think how thankful I was to have Jesse as my boyfriend and have him healthy and everyone I cared about healthy. After we sat there for a little while longer he asked me if I could sing to him. I was so stunned. Why does he want me to sing to him? I don't sound that good. I asked him why.

Jesse POV. She wants to know why I want her to sing?!? Why ask such a question like that? She is a magnificent singer. Unfortunately the only time I was able to hear her sing was at our school talent show, but she still sounded amazing, even in front or lots of people. And I knew she was nervous. So of course I was going to say yes.

Angel POV. I sat there waiting for his answer. I could tell he was thinking about something in his head, but I wasn't sure what it was. "Yes, of course I want you to sing. Why wouldn't I want you to sing, you sound amazing and that was even at a talent show in front of lots of people!" He answered enthusiastically. I said ok and went upstairs to my room to get some music. I just the CD in the stereo and ran back to sit next to Jesse. He just laughed at how energized I was. Then the song started to play and I started to sing.

Us by Regina Spektor (It helps a lot if you listen to the song while you read)

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun

I was singing very funny and making Jesse giggle. It almost made me lose my place in the song and mess up singing because it melted by heart and it made him look even more beautiful.

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

After the song ended the next song came on and we just sat there and listened to it first. Then Jesse asked me to play it again and sing to it if I could. So I started the song over again and I started to softly sing along with the song.

Samson by Regina Spektor (Again it helps if you listen to the song while you read)

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

After that he leaned over and kissed me so passionately that I almost thought I was in heaven or I was dreaming.

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

After the song was over we just sat there and listened to the rest of the songs that I had I on my CD. While we listened we just sat there and he held me in his arms and stroked my arms and face. Then he started to play with my hair and stroke it softly with his gentle and loving hands. Many times he would lean down and kiss me on the tip of my forehead. Then after we had been sitting their for what felt like hours and leaned down to kiss me again, this time on the lips, and he told me he loved me. He said that I was his heart and his soul and he had loved me ever since he had first seen me. Oh my gosh. He loves me. I can't believe that I love him and he loves me.

Jesses POV (Right before he tells Angel that he loves her)

We were sitting on Angels couch in her family room listening to one of Angels CDs. She had just sung to me a little while ago and she sounded like an angel (haha). After she finished singing, we just sat on her couch and I held her in my arms. Every once in a while I would lean down and kiss Angel on her forehead. I wonder if I should tell Angel that I love her. I know that I definitely love her. I have loved her ever since I had seen her walk into our classroom on the first day of school. I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell her that I love her. I leaned down and I could tell she thought I was just going to kiss her on the forehead again. I could see the shock on her face as I leaned down further past her forehead and gave her a kiss and her perfect, angel made lips. "Angel I love you. I love you with all my heart and soul. I have ever since the first day I saw you. You are extraordinary and you are perfect." Again I could see the shock on her face as a said this. I saw her face change from a look of shock, to a look of concentration. I guessed she was trying to figure out what had just happened. She was probably trying to figure out an answer and if she loved me too. I wonder what she is going to say…
