The hot sun was beaming down on the team…
Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffett were finally able to make it to the beachside town off the coast of Unova. The group had been walking along the coast for nearly 2 days, and were exhausted. All had walking sticks, as they leaned over trying to stay steady on their feet as they trudged forward in the warm sands.
"Look!" Jessie cheerfully pointed to the sunny town.
"Finally! A place to rest!" James said gratefully with a tear in his eye.
"Great…I need a catnap…" snored Meowth.
"Waaabbbuff" agreed Wobbuffet.
The group hurried as fast as their tired legs could take them into town. The town was filled with bustling streets, eager trainers, shopping malls, and plenty of restaurants.
"Oh! I want to get something to eat!" Jessie said, clasping her hands together in awe of the lovely beachside town. Her tiredness suddenly fading away…
"ooOoo I want something sweet!" smiled James with stars in his eyes.
"Not Me-owth…I wanna check in at da hotel and get some rest!" Meowth said matter-of-factly.
"Waaaa…" Wobbuffet wearily agreed.
"Oh! sounds good…" Jessie said cheerily…
"CATCH YOU LATER!" Jessie and James shouted together, running off to the food district portion of town. Meowth rolled his eyes, as he and Wobbuffet turned around and headed towards the hotel to get some much needed rest.
Jessie and James reached their destination and hit up as many food stands as they could: reaching for malasadas, donuts, pizza, ramen, cheeseburgers, and more! Once they were satisfied, they started heading back towards the hotel, rubbing their bellies in delight.
Suddenly, Jessie spotted a food cart that sold popsicles and ice cream.
"Look James! Your dessert!" Jessie pointed with a smile.
"Oh! Sounds good Jess!" James was still pining for dessert.
Jessie opted for a fruity popsicle, while James decided on a cone of vanilla ice cream. The cool taste would be like paradise on their tongues, as the afternoon sun rose higher in the sky. They decided to sit near a water fountain and enjoy their treat.
Jessie happily tore the wrapper off of her popsicle, and took a nice long lick, as James took his first bite of the ice cream. "Mm! This is good Jessie!" James turned to Jessie, who was too into her fruity cool treat to pay him attention…
James watched as Jessie took the popsicle in her mouth, slowly sucking to savor the taste. James' eyes were locked on her, as his mouth gaped open. Jessie was not paying attention to his interested gaze…and she slowly licked the popsicle from bottom to top, and placed the very tip of it in her mouth again giving it a very slow suck…
James had fantasized about Jessie before (many times), but tried his best to keep his lusts aside. She was his partner after all, and his best friend. He didn't want to jeopardize any of that, as much as he would like to…It wasn't just his physical and sexual attraction to her that he fought off on a daily basis. James knew from the moment he met her all those years ago at Pokemon Tech that he was in love with her…but he knew she could never want to be with a guy like him. He never wanted to make things weird between them, or ruin their tight bond or friendship, so he kept his feelings (and urges) to himself…as hard as that was at times.
James was losing his grip at this point, and his ice cream began to melt in his hand as he dazzlingly watched his partner. Seeing her with that in her mouth, watching her sucking, licking, and enjoying it in her mouth, was turning him on so much…his cheeks were bright red…then Jessie noticed his distracted stare and his melting ice cream.
"Uhm, James?" and she pointed down towards his cone.
James was staring at her with a gaping stare, then snapped out of it a little too slowly… "Oh! Hehe, silly me!" he looked flustered, and turned his reddened face as he slowly licked the cone again.
"What's his deal?" Jessie thought to herself. "Hmm, James being James I guess…he's always weird." Then returned to her popsicle.
As she continued to enjoy her popsicle, she pulled it out of her mouth with a loud *suck/pop* sounds, as she licked the sweet flavor from her bright red lips. James heard this strangely errotic sound and slowly turned his face back around to look at Jessie. He had some melted ice cream smeared on his lips and face.
Jessie slowly put the popsicle in and out of her mouth, sucking gently…licking her tongue around it to savor the flavor, then slowly taking the length of it in her mouth again. She looked amazing with her lips wrapped around it…
James found himself lost in lustful thoughts again…the image of Jessie at his waist and taking his rock hard length in her mouth as she looked up at him with her dazzling sapphire blue eyes was almost too much for him…he felt guilty for fantasizing about his partner, his friend, and he shook himself out of it. He felt his pants were tight around his now obviously hard cock. He snapped back to reality and his eyes flew wide open-a single sweatdrop formed on his head as he awkwardly tried to cross his legs as he sat on the bench to hide his "predicament". He chuckled awkwardly, as Jessie turned to face him again with a questioning eyebrow…
"James. Why are you acting so strange?" Jessie was clueless as to what his problem was.
" -Gulp- How am I acting strange…Jes-SIE?" James' voice cracked.
Jessie gave him a side eye, as she slowly placed the popsicle on her tongue again, and slowly sucked on it…James' mouth remained open in a dazed stupor as his body tensed while he looked at her. James shuffled himself adjusting his leg crossing over his lap again…as he gave a dopey smile. Jessie sat confused for a moment, then it hit her like a ton of bricks as she looked down at the popsicle hanging out of her mouth. "Is James…is James getting turned on by this…?" Jessie was in quite the shock, James was usually so passive, clueless, and sweet…she NEVER saw him lose his cool like this. She thought about how out of character this was of him, and immediately got intrigued. An evil grin across her face. "Oh, I could have fun with this…"
Jessie turned completely around to directly face James. His face grew red again as she brought her face dangerously close to his…her eyelids were heavy and she gave him a side smile. She slowly brought the popsicle to her mouth again, giving it a light lick, putting the very tip in her mouth with one big suck…James was in awe as he watched her, and as clueless as he was he didn't understand why she suddenly decided to be so direct with how much she was enjoying her popsicle. She wrapped her tongue around the tip of the popsicle, licked her lips as it melted on her cherry red lipstick, then took the entire thing in her mouth, sucking it hard until she released it with a graphic, wet suck…
James was obviously fighting for his life at this point-his lower half was aching…he wanted release…this was absolute torture for him. He began to sweat and gripped his hands on the bench so tightly that his knuckles turned white…
"James dear. Whatever's the matter? Is the sun getting too hot for you?" Jessie looked seductively at him, and placed her free hand a little too close to his lap and gently squeezed his upper thigh. James let out a small squeaking moan, and felt his whole body set on fire from his groin to the top of his skull.
"I'm…-gulp- I'm fine, ugh, I mean…-gulp-...ugh, I guess it is a little hot out here today…" James closed his eyes and blushed. He opened his eyes back up right as Jessie spoke:
"Maybe we could go somewhere to cool off…" Jessie coyly smiled and sucked the popsicle yet again, rubbing her other hand up and down his thigh.
"Ohh '' James let out a moan, but by the time he realized his throat betrayed him, it was already too late and he was a blushing mess of embarrassment and submission. James noticed the look on Jessie's face: her eyes were suggestive and heavy, her lips were full and mouth gently took care of the popsicle before her, as she rubbed James' thigh inching even closer to his manhood…that's when it FINALLY hit James: "OMG, Jessie is coming on to me…is she…trying to seduce me!?" James was internally freaking out. He was stuck in a daze wondering if he was dreaming or losing his mind, but also extremely aroused and wishing like hell this wasn't some sort of cruel joke from Jessie…
"Jessie…" James looked at her pitifully, begging for release. James swallowed as he cautiously uncrossed his legs, allowing Jessie to move her hand even closer to his rock hard cock. Jessie looked down in amazement at just how big he was showing underneath those tight white pants of his. Her jaw dropped, as she found herself on fire with lust…"Mmm..that's the manliest thing about James" she thought to herself with a lustful smile. She came back to earth and slowly rubbed her way up to his length, giving it a gentle squeeze and rubbing it through his pants.
"FFfuu…oh Jessie…" James let out a faint moan, squeezing his eyes shut and biting his lower lip. She kept her hand on his cock as she looked back up at him.
"Oh James dear, you seem to have a little mess on your lips…" Jessie said, reaching out for his face.
James quickly reached for a napkin, embarrassed that he had ice cream smeared along his mouth and lips. But before he could clean himself off, Jessie pushed his hand with a napkin aside…
"Here. Let me help you with that…" She gave his cock another gentle squeeze as she launched her lips onto his, kissing him hard while gently licking the remainder of the ice cream off his lips…James was in heaven and almost passed out from the feeling of her kissing and licking his lips. He tossed his cone in the bush and gently grabbed the back of her head pulling her in closer so he could deepen their kiss. James opened Jessie's mouth with his tongue, and the two began to make out in a desperate hunger, intense from all the years of pent up sexual attraction and lust…"OMG, this is so fucking hot" Jessie thought to herself.
Suddenly, the realization of where they were at (a very public park) hit them and they quickly adjusted themselves and stopped, clearing their throats.
Jessie and James looked up at each other, blushing vigorously and still raging with desire and passion…Jessie couldn't take it anymore and quickly grabbed James' hand and led him back to where their hotel was.
"But Jessie! We can't go back there-Meowth and Wobuffett are insi-…" James whined, but Jessie cut him off before he could finish.
"Who said we're going back to the room…I've got another idea…" she had a sly smile spread across her face.
James thought about just what she was trying to suggest, but happily followed along…he was aching to touch her…
Jessie took James to one of the back doors that led to an emergency stairwell of the hotel.
"James. Pick the lock." Jessie demanded.
"But Jessie, why don't we just go in through the front door?" James casually asked.
"Because you idiot! If we go through the hotel the cameras will spot us sneaking back here!" Jessie mumbled in agitation.
"Oh! Good point." James realized, as he began to pick the lock. Once the door cracked open, Jessie stepped in fast, grabbing James eagerly by the collar to pull him inside. She closed the door behind her.
Jessie pushed James against the wall, in her typical dominant Jessie fashion. She wanted James, and she wanted him now. She was too drunk on lust to care about subtleties at this point, and became very direct…
"James…" she placed her lips on his neck and whispered in his ear… "I want you. Now." She reached around and grabbed his ass.
The hair on James' neck stood up as his eyes grew big. Just her words, the sound of her desperate lust for him, his… it almost was enough to bring him to the brink. James wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him, bringing her back for another lust-filled kiss. Jessie pressed herself against him, pushing James firmly against the wall. She grabbed one of his hands, placing it on her breast. James gasped; this was new territory for him, and for her. Jessie let out a soft moan as he began massaging her breast with his hand.
"Ahh, oh, James" Jessie closed her eyes softly, she was in heaven.
James grew a devilish smirk on his face as his confidence grew. James pushed Jessie's now disheveled hair behind her back and kissed up and down her bare neck. This sent shivers down Jessie's spine…then James opening his mouth and raked his teeth along her neck, gently nibbling at first then biting down hard, giving her a hard suck as he reached his hand under her skirt, rubbing his hands up and down along her underwear, teasing her soaking wet pussy.
"Ahh, James!" Jessie cried out. Just the sound of Jessie's desperate cries were enough to bring out the animalistic urges in James.
They began stripping off their uniforms in a hurried frenzy, while trying to sneak peeks of their partner. Now completely undressed, they took a moment with flushed faces and admired each other's bodies, taking it all in.
"My god, she's breathtaking,". James thought to himself, as he stared at her in awe.
"Holy fuck he's hot". Jessie thought as her heat grew even more desperate for him to fill her.
In seconds, the two were all over each other again, pressing their bodies firmly together, shoving tongues down each other's throats and moaning as the longing and lust intensified.
Jessie then reached down and grabbed James' rock hard cock…this took him off guard and he yelled. Jessie quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
"Quiet! Do you want to get caught!?" She scolded him.
As her hand was over his mouth, James smiled to himself and shoved his hand down below and rubbed her delicate wet pussy, slowly pushing one, then two fingers inside of her.
"AHHH!" Jessie cried out. James covered her mouth with his hand.
"Ssshhh Jess. We don't want to get caught" he gave her a wicked smile, teasing her.
Jessie frowned, "No, no we don't now do we James?" She then removed his hand from her warmth, and rubbed her hands up and down his chest as she slowly got down on her knees.
James looked down at her incredulously and with longing anticipation…he was in awe and in disbelief that this was actually happening. Then, as he was in la la land daydreaming about his longtime fantasy coming true…Jessie grabbed his cock while on her knees, and took his entire length into her mouth.
"Gaaa—-AaaAaHhHhh!" James moaned very loudly as his eyes shot open and darted down towards Jessie sucking his rock hard cock. The feeling of pure bliss almost knocked him on his knees, his legs began to quake.
"James, I know this is what you wanted,". Jessie looked up and gave him a devilish grin, as she slowly pumped his dick with her hands and licked the head of his cock gently. Teasing him by taking her time and using softer motions. James was going mad…
"Jess. Jessie! Please!" James whimpered.
"Please what, dear?" Jessie said in a soft innocent tone.
"Please Jessie, please. Can you…". James blushed. Talking dirty was not something he was used to.
"Hmm? Please…..?" Jessie prodded.
"Jessie please! Please suck my cock! I'm begging you!" He whimpered, in a desperate plea to get some release from his aching manhood and balls. He was sweating, shaking, and needing…craving her.
Jessie immediately shoved his cock deep down her throat, and increased the pace, depth, and intensity from before…all while massaging his balls and tugging and jerking his length in between. James fell back and caught himself on the wall, placing his hands behind for support as his knees shook wildly. His moans grew louder as he was coming close to the edge…this drove Jessie wild. She quietly placed her free hand on her soaking wet pussy, rubbing her clit vigorously…bringing herself close to the edge from the feeling and from his sexy moans.
Then it happened, James grabbed the back of Jessie's head motioning her up and down his shaft as she swallowed his cock. Jessie was so turned on by this that she rubbed her clit harder and faster and then….
"James, I…I…". Jessie stopped sucking as she felt an unfamiliar tingling spread from her pussy to her legs…
James looked down in awe and gave a seductive smile…
"Yes dear?" He lowered himself to her level. Noticing she was still slowly rubbing herself, he grabbed her hand and held it up.
"Naughty girl. Let me take care of that for you". And with that, James pushed Jessie down on her back, forcing her thighs wide open with his hands. Jessie blushed as she felt very exposed and vulnerable with her partner-with James. It was a strange feeling, but a feeling lit a fire deep inside of her…her pussy was aching for him.
James gave a seductive smile and stared deeply in Jessie's eyes, and with that lowered his face down and slid his tongue along her velvety pink folds, savoring every drop of her wetness.
"James!" Jessie screamed out, this feeling was like nothing she had ever experienced before…her legs immediately began to shake and she forced his head down into her aching pussy. James licked every part of her, but then suddenly he hit something that sent a shockwave up and down her entire body. "James! There right there!" He had found her clit, and it was the most amazing feeling she had ever experienced…James obliged and started licking ravenously, sucking and tugging at her swollen clit with his mouth in between firm long strokes with his tongue. Jessie moaned deeper and began pulling on his hair, almost in tears. James grabbed her hips harder, digging his fingers into her holding her still. Jessie moved and wiggled her hips in desperation, but James held her firm as he devoured her pussy. His cock was wet and twitching with pre cum…
"James….James….JAMES!" Jessie's legs shook as she raked her nails along James' shoulders and back. James looked her in the eyes as his face was buried deep in her pussy. Her sweet James, being so sexy and pleasing her between her legs. This did it for her.
"Ahh…Ah! Fuuuccckkkkk….Jaaaammmmessss!" Jessie's entire body shook with the most intense orgasm she had ever experienced in her entire life. She took deep shaking breaths as she came down, all the while James gently licking her clean and nibbling and squeezing her shaking thighs. James wiped off his mouth with a seductive smile, then licked his fingers and grabbed Jessie's chin, giving her a sweet kiss on her lips.
Jessie was breathless and at a loss for words—not typical for Jessie. Her body was flushed. She felt like she had experienced heaven. And she wanted more.
Jessie pushed James on his back now, as he smiled looking up at her. She rubbed her hands along his smooth muscles and soft skin…he was like a porcelain angel. She was craving him with her entire being. "OMG I can't take this anymore!" Jessie thought to herself with paralyzing just.
Jessie quickly placed herself on top of James, straddling his hips, pressing her soaking wet, hot pussy against his hard aching cock.
"Unngh, Jess…" James growled in a low moan. His body shivered with anticipation and desire. He wanted so badly to be inside of her. Jessie began rubbing herself up and down his length. The feeling of her pussy rubbing against his cock was magnetizing.
"Jess, JESS!" James shouted.
"Shhh. What is it!?" Jessie questioned with slight irritation.
"Jessie, I'm, I'm gonna cum…please…". James' head went back in ecstasy as he gathered every ounce of strength within his being to not bust all over her pussy right there.
"Oh no you dont!" Jessie said, then she slowly moved herself away from his groin and stroked his hair, still straddling him. James looked like a sad, sick little puppy. His eyes were begging her to let him cum.
Jessie gave an evil smile. She wanted to make this last…she wanted to tease and torture her poor sweet James. Then she knew what to do.
Jessie slowly straddled him again, hovering over him as she grabbed his cock and neared it to her warm center.
"Jess..ie..?" James had an innocent and almost afraid look on his face.
"Yes. What is it?" Jessie was growing impatient. She wanted to cum again so bad and watch him squirm.
"Should we…I mean…is this ok?" James asked with a sound of worry in his voice.
Jessie's eyebrows raised. "What do you mean?"
"It's just that…all this…it's wonderful…it's everything I've always imagined…and everything I've always wanted…with you…but…I…um". James began to stammer with his words.
"Out with it James!" Jessie snarled.
"I'm worried…what if this changes things between us?" James looked sincere. "I couldn't possibly do anything to jeopardize our relationship… I…I mean, our friendship…". James caught himself. He knew what he meant because he wanted so much more with Jessie. He loved her. But he also valued their tight bond and friendship. He was scared. Everything was becoming very overwhelming for him.
"James." Jessie looked at him, feeling a tad bit ashamed of herself but didn't know what to say. James stroked her arm and looked lovingly at her.
Not liking rejection, Jessie snorted. "Well fine. If you're not man enough to take my virginity then so be it!" She crossed her arms, and started to lift herself off of him in a huff. James grabbed her arms and pulled her back down.
"Jess, you're a virgin?!" James was honestly shocked. He hadn't known of any men in her life, nor did she have much down time for such activities, but he was certain she'd had at least some experience.
Jessie turned her head away, blushing and embarrassed even for her. She didn't like this.
"Yes James, I am." She turned slowly to face him. "All of this…everything…I…I haven't done it with anyone before." Her face grew red.
James looked at her in awe and his face softened with passion.
"You. You wanted your first time to be with me?" James started getting teary eyed and emotional.
"Don't get all sentimental on me James." Jessie said in a huff. She felt her own emotional wall starting to break down as well.
"Jess, I'm a virgin too!" James said happily and proudly.
Jessie looked him up and down, "Yeah. I figured that."
James' face turned into a bummed frown.
Jessie softened and smiled towards him.
"But regardless, you really seem to know what you're doing…exceptionally well I might add,'' Jessie ran her hand up and down his chest and gave him a gentle kiss and sucked his bottom lip. She grabbed his hand and began to suck delicately along his finger. James was in awe and watched his partner look at him with that fiery passion.
James quickly became ready and willing again. He wanted this, and now he knew for sure she wanted this too…
James pulled Jessie on top of him, kissing her deeply and with aching desire. Their hands grabbed and rubbed every inch of each other as their tongues danced in each other's mouths. James and Jessie both let out a few light, hungry moans. Jessie started rubbing herself on James again, letting his hardness rub against her pussy folds and clit…"aaa…aaah!" Jessie let out a louder moan as she was already feeling herself growing closer to orgasm.
James grabbed her arms, and stared at her with a side smile. Jessie looked at him and blinked, confused of what this meant…
James rolled over on top of Jessie, pressing himself firmly against her, with his hands placed firmly on wrists, pinning her to the ground.
"James?" Jessie looked at him innocently. James had never seen this side of Jessie before. She looked so sweet and submissive, ready to let him take her. Her eyes were bright and her lips full and plump. This was the most erotic moment of his life…looking at his partner as he was in a dominating position over her…
James took himself, and gently guided it right against her opening. He bent down, kissing her tenderly and whispered "Are you ready…Jess?" He sounded so loving and caring for her comfort.
"Yes". Jessie said sweetly. "Now please…fuck me James!" She demanded in lustful angst.
James smiled and slowly pushed himself into her. As his head pushed its way through, he could feel just how tight she felt around his cock. They both immediately let out a contented moan as they felt electricity spark throughout their bodies at the intense and pleasurable feeling of joining their bodies together like this.
It was almost too hard to enter her at first, but she was wet and he took his time. James noticed Jessie's body tense up, her face looking as if she were in pain. James immediately stopped midway through entering her.
"Jess…Jess? Are you ok sweetheart?" James felt so guilty at the thought of hurting her like this.
Jessie grimaced. "It's ok James. I'm fine. I promise." Jessie gave him a small smile.
James looked at her in awe, taking in her beauty once more. He nodded and slowly continued working his way further into her. He pushed himself deep inside of her, until she fully engulfed him.
"Aaahhhhh! Jess!" James winced from the intense pleasure and gritted his teeth. He sat still for a minute trying not to move. One small movement and he was going to cum already.
Him stopping mid thrust helped Jessie to relax and gave her time to accommodate his girth. She looked at James' desperate and worried expression and knew he was already close. She gently stroked his back and whispered in his ear.
"Shh, James. It's ok. Take your time. I want this. I want you." Jessie kissed his ear and cheek.
James gathered himself and wanted more, he needed to make this last for him. For her. He slowly began pumping himself into her, slowly, enjoying every single movement and feeling her velvety soft warm pussy gripping his cock. His mouth hung open in desperation, his body beginning to perspire in lustful sweat and need…Jessie moaned and she began to move her hips and arch herself to match his movements. Her moaning grew louder as James began thrusting himself into her with an animalistic passion, harder and faster, deeper…she grabbed his shoulders and held him close to her as he fucked her furiously with everything he had. The two moaned loudly in intense pleasure.
"James…ahhh…ffuuuck….fuck me…please!" Jessie cried out, gripping him tight and begging him to keep going. James gave her a kiss on the lips and brushed the hair out of her face with his nose.
Jessie was growing hungry with lust. "James. James. Talk dirty to me…please talk dirty to me baby!" Jessie begged as she squeezed her eyes shut. She was close to cumming, but wanted so badly to hear James' voice as he was fucking her.
This caught James off guard and he blushed a little. He was so close already, and seeing Jessie like this, begging for more and wanting him, all of him, brought out something in him…
"You like that Jessie? Ugghhh…You like it when I fuck you?" James grunted, sounding more manly than usual.
"Fuck. Yes I do James….ahhh….YES!" Jessie started feeling the tingling between her legs as she began to shake. James knew she was close, he wanted to feel her cum on his dick.
"That's it Jess. Cum for me." James kissed her and nibbled her lips a bit, then spoke directly on her mouth, "ohh…ahh, baby, I want to feel you cum"
"Ffffff—uuuuaaahhhh James! James I'm cumming!" Jessie screamed, forgetting where she was at.
James heard this as he began pounding her with all his might, and quickly followed suit.
"Ohhh fuck, JESSIE! Aaahhhh! Fffuck…." James yelped as he came deep inside of her. He felt his balls empty deep inside of her, as her pussy grabbed every last ounce of cum from him. James collapsed on Jessie, who let out a contented sigh. They were both breathing heavy, sweating, and wrapped up in their afterglow while enjoying the comfort of being so close together.
Finally, the reality of what they had just done set in…
Jessie and James shot up, standing while covering their naked bodies and just gasped and pointed at each other…they were both in shock at what had just occurred. It was not because they had disliked or regretted it (not one bit at all), but the entire scenario just seemed like a fantastical fever-dream to each of them.
"Wha…What just happened James?" Jessie asked, still in mild shock.
"I…I don't know!" James whined in bewilderment.
They stood there in shock, trying their best to maintain their modesty by shielding themselves. Finally, they hurriedly grabbed their uniforms and quickly got dressed, still trying to make sense of all that had just occurred. After a few moments of silence, Jessie spoke up…
"I uh, guess we should head to the hotel room then. We should check on Meowth and Wobbuffet…" there was little personality to her voice.
"Guess so. Uh, Jess?" James looked at Jessie with concern.
"Hmm? Jessie looked at James, curious as to what he was about to ask or say.
"Are you…I mean, was this…ok?" James asked sincerely, considering if what they had just done altered their friendship forever, in any sort of negative way.
Jessie thought about it, then shook her head and smiled. "Yes James. I think we'll be ok" Then she held out her hand, James reached for it and held it a moment, smiling at his beautiful partner…friend.
Jessie and James exited the emergency stairwell and went around to the hotel front entrance and through the lobby to their room. Meowth and Wobbuffett were awake and enjoying some of the room service that was complimentary as one of the weekly specials.
"Hey youse too, how was da food choices out dere?" Meowth asked as he shoved more food in his face.
"Uh, it was…uh…it was…uhm." James said nervously as if he were hiding something-he had a horrible poker face. Jessie stomped on his foot. "Yeowch!" James pouted and crossed his arms.
Meowth raised an eyebrow and looked at Wobbuffet.
Jessie decided to hop in the shower, while James sat on one of the armchairs in the room while Meowth and Wobbufett finished up the rest of their room service on one of the beds. James was in deep thought, resting his face on his hand. Meowth and Wobbuffet noticed this as they chewed on their food and swallowed.
"Everyting ok dere Jim?" Meowth asked his human friend.
James didn't notice him speaking.
He was happy for the experience he got to share with Jessie, but was feeling confused as to what this would really mean for the two of them…for the team. For their friendship. Even though Jessie assured him that everything would be ok and continue as normal, James felt in his gut that this wasn't the case, nor that she believed it. The feelings that James already felt for Jessie, the love he had for her, only intensified in new ways from what had happened. He wanted more with Jessie-he always did…and what they had just done, confused him even more on how (or if) he should even approach the subject of talking to her about "it". He knew Jessie was an awesome deflector; she was not one to express her feelings and would often lash out if questioned on hard topics. James cowered at the thought of making her angry, or worse, making her regret that it had happened. He didn't want to make things any more awkward or complicated then they had already obviously turned out to be. He continued ruminating on his thoughts and what to do until Meowth spoke up again:
"Hey. Earth to Jimmy." James turned and noticed that apparently Meowth had been trying to get his attention for a while now.
"Sorry Meowth, I'm just, I'm just a little tired." James said as he faked a stretch and yawn.
Meowth knew it was more than that, but he decided uncharacteristically not to pry this time-James rarely ever was this quiet, so he figured it must have been something important on his mind; he would tell him at his own time.
The rest of the afternoon was a bit dry and quiet in the Rocket hotel room. Jessie flipped through a fashion magazine, James was fidgeting with his bottle cap collection, Meowth was sitting on the armchair, bored, and Wobuffet was dozing off in the corner of the room. All four of them sighed in unison.
"Well. I'm extremely bored right now" Jessie complained, closing her magazine.
"Yeah." James agreed.
"Maybe we should walk around the city and see if dere is anything to do around here" Meowth suggested.
"Great idea Meowth! Why hadn't we thought of that sooner" Jessie got some of her energy back.
James was still in his headspace, and didn't really show any excitement but agreed and tagged along with his friends. Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet marched cheerily along through the city streets, as James remained a couple of paces behind them. After several minutes, Jessie finally noticed this and stopped and walked back to James as he held his head low.
"You ok there?" Jessie asked. She was direct, but James could sense a bit of actual concern in her voice.
"I'm fine Jessie. I just…" James was interrupted by Meowth and Wobbuffett.
"Waaaabbufffff-eettttt!"
"Lookee here guys!" Meowth smiled in excitement.
Right in front of the group was a large movie theater, probably the biggest one they had ever seen. Not only was it big, but it was truly a great site to behold. There were posters lining the building of famous actors and actresses, as well as some for movies and cinema classics. The red building was illuminated by hundreds of bright lights and flickering, as if to say "Welcome! Come inside!"
"Oh! This looks like it would be fun. Let's go inside and see a movie!" Jessie said as she rushed on in before her teammates could even speak up.
James just looked on and didn't say anything as he entered the theater. The group got in line for popcorn, drinks, and other snacks before they went into one of the theater rooms and sat down. The movie they were about to see was a classic romance flick that none of them had seen before (Jessie's choice of course). Although the boys weren't really interested in chick flicks, they decided to sit through it and enjoy the snacks just to make Jessie happy. James sat with the bucket of popcorn as Wobbuffett and Meowth kept helping themselves to the unnecessarily large amount of puffed corn. James did look enthused, and barely even sipped on his drink.
The movie turned out to be much longer than the boys had anticipated. About 2+ hours into the movie Meowth and Wobbuffett had passed out next to each other. James was getting bored himself, and feeling his eyes get heavy. He didn't pay attention to the movie at all, looking around, moving his feet, and still ruminating over thoughts of Jessie. Jessie, on the other hand, was intently watching the movie and having her own thoughts…
Unbeknownst to the clueless trio beside her, the movie was far more familiar of a story than anticipated. The movie started out with two friends, a boy and a girl, who grew up together. They traveled together and shared many experiences and adventures, some successes as well as failures, but always remained close and loyal to one another. As the friends grew up, they began to fall into opportunities for personal growth and romance…the friends had long term feelings for one another, but were too afraid to admit it, in fear of losing their close friendship from the other, not feeling the same and getting freaked out. Several times they split up and went their own ways, only to come back together each and every time-their loyalty and commitment to each other was too strong. As the movie was coming to a close, the friends eventually came to their senses and admitted their long held feelings and love for eachother.
"Hmm, this movie would have been eerily similar to me and James if he felt the same way about me…" Jessie thought to herself, in disappointment. Although Jessie knew how to save face when she was in her emotions, she had been struggling all day with an internal battle herself. Jessie too had feelings for James, and had wanted much more with him throughout most of their lives together. Jessie sighed and elbowed James and the others to wake up.
"Hey guys, the movie's over. Want to get something to eat?" Jessie asked quietly.
Team Rocket left the large theater and went back out to the food district to pick out a couple of choice entrees. Meowth and Wobbuffett went wild again from their ravenous hunger, rushing and hitting up every single food stand and truck. Jessie walked with James as they looked around for the perfect meal in silence.
"What are you in the mood for James?" Jessie finally asked.
"I'm not really all that hungry Jess." James admitted. His stomach had been in knots all day. He kept trying to gather up the courage to open up a conversation with Jessie, and trying to decide if it was the right decision to finally open up with her or not. He kept going back and forth and his own indecisiveness was driving him crazy.
"Come on. You've got to eat something. Here. Why don't we check out this little Ramen shop over here" Jessie pulled James' arm and led him to the noodle stand. Jessie picked out two large bowls of Ramen for them, and grabbed some lemonade and they decided to sit down at one of the nearby cafe tables.
Jessie and James sat in uncomfortable silence for several minutes as they ate their noodles. Jessie was growing irritated, and slammed her fists on the table in front of her.
"Ok. Out with it James. What's your deal?" Jessie stared into his soul with obvious tension.
This took James completely off guard, he wasn't anticipating for this conversation to have to take place now…he tried to deflect.
"I'm just, really tired today Jessie. That's all" he told her lamely, rubbing the back of his head. This did not fool his red-haired companion. Jessie crossed her arms.
"Look James, I'm not an idiot. You're either going to tell me what is going on with you, or I'll figure it out later and be very angry with you that you allowed your moodiness to ruin my stay here in this town…" Jessie looked serious and obviously angry with her friend's behavior.
James looked at Jessie with sorrow and intimidation in his eyes. He just sat there staring at her for several moments. Right before he was about to open his mouth to speak, Jessie spoke up again.
"Look James, if what happened earlier freaked you out in any way at all, let's just forget it. If you feel any sort of way about it-let's just go on and say it never happened. Now move on!" Jessie said matter-of-factly. She was hiding how much saying this had hurt her, but she was hating the awkwardness between them.
"Jessie. I…I don't…I…" James stammered.
"Out with it James," Jessie began tapping her foot, growing impatient with his quietness and awkward demeanor.
"I don't want to forget it, Jessie." James grew up the courage to look at her now, and was shocked when he saw the expression on her face.
Jessie was no longer looking at him with soreness or irritation. Her face quickly softened, and her eyes filled with tears, and she looked genuinely relieved and, happy, that he said that to her. James grew a slight blush, and he smiled at her and took one of her hands in his.
"Jess, I'm sorry I was being so quiet and distant today. I honestly have been in my head all day about this. But, there is something I need to tell you…" James began to flush as he opened his heart…
Jessie was completely transfixed by him.
"Jessie, I have always loved you. From the moment I met you, throughout all of our years, travels, and experiences together. I've also felt like you were more than just a partner, or a friend…I always considered you to be my other half-I could never picture my life without you…and" James was interrupted as Jessie leaned across the table, grabbing his face and giving him a big kiss on the lips. James blushed, then closed his eyes enjoying her sweet lips.
Once their kiss broke, Jessie smiled at James-it was her turn to speak:
"James, I'm sorry it has taken us this long to admit our feelings for one another…" Jessie blushed and looked bashful.
"You, you mean….you love me?" James' eyes grew wide and hopeful.
"Yes James. And I always have."
