A/N: So, it seems I'm off to a good start with the story! Seeing as its "Epic", "Interesting", and adding Jesse was "Brilliant". :) Thank you guys so much for the support! I hope I can continue to live up to the high bar! Enjoy reading!

Jesse's POV

"I did what you asked sir," I told my boss over the phone. There was no response so I continued.

"I drew all attention to myself. They won't realize what you're planning. I just hope it won't make me their meat," I told him.

"Good work," Was all he replied in a harsh tone. He hung up the phone before I could say more. I hated that bloodsucking brat. But if Anastasia enlisted him as her new second in command I had to follow him. 'It's his first mission! You have to follow his lead!' The little brat said. Whatever, looks like I have no choice but to listen. If he tells Anastasia I didn't get rid of his competition, then I'd be dead. But his plan is to stick me in the firing range? That I don't like. I just have to go along with it. I just have to keep following them, and make sure they don't figure out I'm not the real problem.

Back to Ally's POV

I've been so nervous since I met Jesse yesterday on the plane. Every time a customer came through the door I thought it might be him. Every time I heard a sound behind me, I thought he was hiding after following me. His words still racked my brain.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't figure out where I knew you from. But now that we're face to face I know. You're Sarah and Ethan's friend right?"

I wanted to use the number Ethan gave me to find out what he meant, but I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. I didn't even have a chance to save it on my phone because I was too busy worrying about my friends death sentence. I heard footsteps behind me and spun around so fast I almost knocked Austin onto the floor.

"Don't do that! You know I've been jumpy lately!" I yelled at him. I knew I shouldn't be angry at him. My real anger was toward Jesse.

"Sorry, I've been pretty worried to about that Jesse guy. I mean he was staring at you almost the entire plane ride. And then he comes and asks you if your Ethan and Sarah's friend?" Austin said, narrowing his eyes in disgust.

"I know, I'm sorry for screaming." I told him. I went to hug him and saw someone move out of the corner of my eye. There was no one in Sonic Boom at the moment so I ran toward the movement. I looked behind the column and found Jesse standing there grinning. I was just about to slap the grin right off his face in anger when he spoke.

"I'm not stalking you, I promise." He said, smiling his blinding smile.

"Oh, so you're just following my friends and I around casually in attempt to become friends?" I asked him sarcastically. Before he could talk I yelled in his face.

"How did you even get in here? I've been watching for customers all day!" I told him, and he flinched. It almost didn't seem natural for him to be frightened. I couldn't understand why or how but it looked like he was acting while he was 'in fear'.

"I came through the back door. Sorry I'll leave. I just wanted to look at the instruments and then noticed you were here," Jesse said turning away then walking toward the door. I didn't believe him at all. As far as I was concerned, he was a stalker and I didn't want him near me or my friends. I walked back to the counter where Austin stood glaring at the doorway from which Jesse had left.

"He's a creep," Austin said, and I nodded. I sat on the counter and looked around the store making sure Jesse hadn't come back. He was gone. It was just Austin and I. My dad is on a trip to Africa visiting my mom. So I won't have to explain myself to him until later. Trish and Dez had gone to get smoothies for us all.

"Ally," Austin said, breaking the silence.

"Yes?" I asked him. He sounded nervous.

"Will you…allow me…maybe can I?" He said, stuttering. I giggled. He sounded so cute when he got nervous that way.

"Can I take you to dinner tonight?" Austin asked me and I knew I was blushing hard. I nodded.

"Sure. After all that's happened and this Jesse nonsense, we should have some time alone." I told him. He smiled and we were there smiling at each other for about a minute until I heard a familiar voice.

"They're doing it again!" Dez yelled from the doors and I looked at him carrying a cup holder with four smoothies in place. Mine was strawberry mango. I stared in delight at the yellow swirl going through the pink drink as Dez put the cup into my hands. Trish grabbed hers and sat next to me on the counter. I didn't want to ruin the happy mood of the room but I still told Trish what I wanted to.

"Jesse came here," I told her and she looked up from her smoothie with a look of annoyance.

"I swear, that kid is just as creepy as Trent was. Remember when he kept nagging me about taking him back?" Trish said, clearly not wanting to continue this conversation.

"I think this is worse than Trent. At least Trent isn't a stalker." I told her. Trish frowned.

"Yeah I guess you're right. We could call the cops you know?" Trish asked me.

"I think I scared him off already." I told her, a bit unsure of my words. At least if he tried anything dumb I could scare him off with my new fangs. I smiled at my own inside joke. Austin looked at me and smiled too.

"Is that smile because of our date tonight?" He said casually, and I heard Dez squeal. Not Trish, Dez.

"Actually yeah, tonight will be the highlight of my day," I said.

Jesse's POV

"I did what you asked and they 'caught' me spying. Now they're really suspicious. It's funny really. I think Ally believes I'm after her. Oh how wrong is she," I told my boss laughing at Ally's obliviousness. I could've sworn I heard my boss chuckle too.

"Good work," He told me, hanging up the phone rudely, once again. Maybe Anastasia will promote me over him someday and I will make him pay for being so rude. Austin and Ally are going on a date, huh? I hope they reserved a table for three.

A/N: So, who do you think Jesse's boss is? ;)
