Lumiose city the Kalos region

Last time: Jessie looked to James now in shock.

"Date?"

Now:

Jessie looked at James in shock; her face showed her shock and James was blushing after Meowth had blurted out what tonight had been. Meowth laughed at what he had said and the fact that James hadn't told Jessie about it. He watched now with interest to see how things developed, as he knew he had created an awkward situation between them.

James rubbed the back of his head sighing heavily; Jessie looked to James now her expression changing.

"That was a date? The other day when you said, you wanted to us to go out to the city as friends... That was a lie. You tried to trick me?" She asked confused by the sudden development

James turned to Jessie now and knew he should tell her the truth, he knew he should tell her why he had not directly asked her out and had tricked her into the date.

"Well I thought you said no if I asked you out for a real date. I thought this was the best way to take you out for a date, that why I did what I did. Meowth came up for the idea of how I should ask you out."

Jessie turned to Meowth in anger and gives him an evil glare.

"Ohh Jessie is angry with me; James was telling me how nice it would be to go out with you on a date, so he could talk to you about something important. Therefore, I told him that he should just ask you out as a friend.

Jessie looked to James now.

"Something important, I can't belief you guys lied and tire to manipulate me like this."

James walked other to her and waved his hand to Meowth who waved his hand back and walked off a little so he could give them a little privacy. Off course he didn't go too far as he wanted to listen in to this, Jessie looked a Meowth walked away from them and Jessie relaxed somewhat.

"Jessie I'm sorry I tricked you like that, but belief I when I said it was for a good reason. I wanted us to have a good time together with just us, as I wanted to tell, well I began to feeling differently about is lately."

"Jessie's eye widened now in showed by what James's was saying, she stepped back from James as she was unsure of how to handle this situation.

"I was going to tell you about how I felt in the restaurant, but that couple interrupted and I got freaked out like I normally do about marriage."

He looked ashamed by his words and by what he had done in the restaurant, by his reaction to the whole marriage thing.

"Oh, oh I see." Jessie stepped back again

She was unready for this development, James's feeling for her had change and he was no longer looking at her as a best friend. She had thought about this in the past, but she was so unwilling to open her heart and let another man break her heart.

"Don't run away Jessie, I can see your in a panic and worried, that why I want you to think about your feelings. I will not rush you into anything, if you reject me I will be your best friend still , but if you don't I will treat you better than any other man had done before. "

Jessie calmed down a little now James had giving her the option, but still she felt uneasy around James unsure on how to persuade.

"I'll think about my feeling James." She whispered

Meowth came back now and looked disappointed, he wanted to see them together, but knew Jessie well. She didn't show emotions well and she wasn't the easier nut to crack. Maybe he talked to Jessie about this situation, maybe he could help them be together. Maybe he would find out why Jessie couldn't open up to James.

A/N: What happens next who knows.
