Friday night.

Jesse's POV:

The next few months went by very fast.

I drove to Lima every weekend, wanting to see my baby.

But I didn't really think, that Shelby would become even more important than before, just by being there.

When I was there, we talked every night.

Sometimes we even talked about Rachel and how well she had taken It.

We had a really platonic relationship.

Shelby's POV:

Having him around was really great.

I liked watching him, when he played with Elphie.

They were great together.

I got used to having him around every weekend, so when he announced he wouldn't come over for two weeks, I was a little disappointed.

I knew he had his career and his wife, but it felt a weird to not have him over.

I got lonely that weekend, even though Elphie held me awake most of the night, I still had time to miss him.

And it wasn't the way you would miss the husband of your daughter.

But still not the way you would miss the father of your daughter.

It was the way you would miss your best friend.

I missed our talks, the cooking, the way he played and cuddles with our daughter.

And the feeling of missing him became stronger each time he didn't come.

He never stayed in New York for more than one weekend, so I saw him at least every two weeks.

The weeks he didn't come, slowly became hell on earth !

Jesse's POV:

Lying in bed with Rachel one night, I was wide awake, not able to sleep just yet.

It was a Friday night, usually I would have been in Lima by then, but Rachel wanted me to stay that weekend.

I thought of Shelby and how great it felt, to see her every Friday, when I entered her house.

How beautiful she had looked last time and the time before, and the time before that …

I remembered her smell, the way she had smiled at me the week before, the way she had watched me kiss Elphie's forehead.

I new it was wrong to think about her in that way, but I couldn't help it.

She still was like a magnet to me and something always reminded me of her, everywhere I went.

The following weekend I visited her again.

All the times before I had told myself, I just drove there because of Elphie, but Shelby never got out of my head.

I missed HER !

I'm not saying I didn't miss my baby, but I had just realized how much Shelby really meant to me, so she came first.

Arriving at her house, my heart was beating way to fast to go unnoticed.

We always hugged, when she opened the door to let me in and I knew she felt my rapid heartbeat.

She didn't say anything though, not really knowing what to do.

After bringing Elphie to bed that night, singing her a song so she could sleep better, we went to the living room.

On the way to the couch, I couldn't take it anymore.

I kissed her for the first time in more than a year.

And she responded to the kiss, knowing I could change my mind every moment.

But I didn't, instead I pulled her closer, deepening the contact, running my hands over her body.

It felt like heaven and for the first time in almost a year, I knew I did the right thing.

I KNEW !

Shelby's POV:

I didn't want this to end, it felt way too good.

Although I knew I shouldn't be doing this again, it didn't matter.

In that moment I felt complete again.

Our clothes were off faster than I ever thought possible, while we made our way to my bedroom.

Lying back on the bed, I waited for his decision to join me or leave me.

I was glad to feel him on me a second later. He had made his decision quickly, although I didn't know if his brain even got involved.

Being on top of me, he slowly kissed down my body. Starting on my neck, over my breasts, my stomach, my tights.

There he stopped, giving my clit his full attention.

He somehow made me feel like a princess in that moment, well, a really naughty princess.

His hand massaged my thighs, while his tongue made me moan so many times.

When I was about to come, I tried to pull him up, but he wouldn't let me.

"I want this to be all about you, for once!", he had said.

And he drove two fingers inside me, making me come in the same second.

While I was still shaking, he made his way up, trailing kisses across my stomach, my breasts, my neck, kissing my lips at last.

When I deepened the kiss, he pushed into me.

I had almost forgotten how big he was.

Trusting into me again and again, I could feel he was close and I wasn't so far either.

His fingers found my clit, like his tongue had, moments earlier, and he made me come with him.

The sensation rolling through us, as we felt closer than ever before !
