Look At You


Part 56

The morning sun shone brightly through the window and as it warmed her face, Jessy stirred, feeling the warmth of Zac's embrace. "Thank you God." Jessy whispered as she opened her eyes finding Zac, feeling his arms around her. She slowly turned in his arms, facing him, pressing her body to his. Jessy sighed deeply as her desire for him was aroused, "I've wanted you desperately for so long now, how could I have said no." Jessy whispered as the ache for him grew stronger and the longing brought tears to her eyes. "You said no because you love me. Thank you for loving me and saying no Jessy. You're right, I wanted to make love to you out of fear of losing you not out of love for you." Zac whispered. "You don't have to thank me for loving you Zac. Loving you is the best thing that's ever happened to me Zac. Zac?" Jessy explained. "Yeah babe?" Zac replied stroking her hair, lifting a strand of hair out of her face. "Zac the other night when you were, you know when you were going to love me and then didn't, would you hold me like that again?" Jessy asked and Zac gently climbed on top of her and slowly pressed his body to hers. "Oh Zac" Jessy moaned as their bodies met and he pressed his lips to hers kissing her deeply. "Jessy I want you so bad. They have to let us marry, I can't wait until you're eighteen to have you, I'm not that strong." Zac moaned slowly pulling away from her. "No, please don't leave me." Jessy cried wrapping her legs around him, pulling him back down. "Jessy no, let met go baby please." Zac begged. Jessy couldn't believe her ears and dropped her legs, "Go, I know when I'm not wanted." Jessy said coldly shoving him away and sliding out of bed. "Don't do this. Jessy you know I want you more than anything." Zac pleaded, grabbing her and pulling her back down. "You know that don't you?" Zac begged to know. Jessy avoided looking at him because she knew he was right, "No I don't." Jessy pouted. "Oh baby you do, I know you do." Zac said kissing her sweetly. "Maybe." Jessy said and Zac kissed her tenderly. "I might." Jessy replied. "I do Zac." Jessy moaned as he kissed her deeply. Jessy wrapped her arms around his neck gazing deeply into his eyes their souls meeting, becoming one. "This what you want?" Zac whispered. "Yeah, I love you so much Zac. I don't mean to be so difficult honest hun. It's just, just sometimes Zac, I don't feel close to you and it scares me." Jessy shared. "I know babe, even when I'm right here. We are though, connected, always." Zac explained. "Oh, you do know." Jessy gasped hugging him tighter. "Yeah babe, I know. Jessy sometimes I feel the same way, but I just tell myself 'She loves you Zac, more than anything' and then I look at you and when our eyes meet, I know it's true." Zac explained. "How'd you get to be so smart?" Jessy said kissing him lightly, over and over. "You know how, don't you?" Zac asked. "Mom and Dad. I really miss them Zac. Did I tell you I talked to Mom last night when I took Mon to meet Grampa?" Jessy asked. "No babe. How was it?" Zac asked tentatively. "Zac you're not pushing, please don't feel that way. Zac I love your folks like they were, no they are mine already. Your whole family has been mine since we first met. That's the way they've always made me feel. Zac I know Mom loves me and I know she feels bad, as bad as I feel about hurting you. She forgives me though and I forgive them, all of you. Zac, I even forgive Ke.. Daddy but I don't know how to tell him to make sure it never happens again. Zac I'm just so confused." Jessy shared cuddling into his arms. "Maybe Mom and Dad can come up with something. Jessy I can't, I don't forgive him, this is all his fault. You never would have left me if he hadn't chased you away trying to protect you. I tried babe, but he would listen to me. He had the gall to tell me it was none of my business, that's when Dad gave me that look. He gave it to me again in the car when went and sat up front, I was going to tell you Jessy but..." Zac said his head hanging in shame unable to finish. "But what else could you do Zac, disrespect your Father. Look At You. That is not who you are Zac, as much as you love me you would never disrespect your Father and I wouldn't ask you to. I wouldn't want you to. That wouldn't be the man I feel in love with Zac. You could do something like that but it doesn't mean you don't love me Zac, it just means you love and respect your father. Zac, so do I." Jessy shared. "But Jessy, you're my life now. I should have taken care of you even if it meant disrespecting Dad." Zac declared. "Now Zac, yeah I would expect that. But now Zac is different, we're different because of what happened. We're more committed to each other than ever before. I mean I loved you, and wanted to marry you but now it's so much deeper. I know what life without you is like Zac and I never want to feel that way again, ever." Jessy declared kissing him longer and harder that ever before, with all the love she felt, with all the passion felt, and with all the respect she felt for him. "Whoa that was good." Zac moaned as she pulled back from his lips. "Man that's sort of the way I figured I'd feel after you made love to me." Jessy said kissing him sweetly and laying her head on his chest cuddling. They lay that way talking, sorting things out, planning for their future. "Oh I don't want to leave here but I really gotta pee. Besides, I better figure out what I'm making for lunch and get at it." Jessy said kissing him sweetly then heading to the bathroom. "So you're coming too huh?" Jessy asked as Zac followed her down the hall. "I gotta go too. Then I'll give you a hand in the kitchen." Zac answered. Not only Zac gave her a hand, Grampa pitched in while Chele and Tay gave the house a once over dusting and vacuuming and Isaac and Monica ran to the store with Jessy's shopping list for the week seeings Grampa now had company. Everything was prepared, put away and everyone was cleaned up waiting, "Man way too many cars. If Grampa wanted to drive his it would take a half hour to clear everything out of the way." Jessy joked. "Tay here why don't you take mine and you use it. We'll use Mon's while were here, okay dear?" Isaac asked. "Sure it's half yours now anyway. Grampa thanks for letting us stay with you until we decide what we're going to do." Monica said making her way to the arm of the chair he sat in, hugging and kissing him. "Grampa, thanks for letting me stay. I couldn't have come home if it wasn't for you. You know that don't you? I love you Grampa." Jessy said sitting in his lap, hugging, kissing then laying her head against his chest, whispering, "You're my white knight, my saviour, my protector." "And you're my baby girl and I better save you and protect you." Grampa whispered, kissing the top of her head as Diana and Walker entered the room. "Daddy I'm jealous. This arm better be for me." Diana said. "Only if you get there first, I want a Grampa hug too." Chele warned and the race was on. "Girls how you behave. More, I like, I like. Such attention. Have had this in, shoot I've never had this much attention." Grampa laughed as Diana bet Chele to the arm of the chair hugging her father and sticking her tongue out a Chele. "Man you move for an old lady." Chele said and the room laughed. "You only wished." Diana teased. "Grampa they're being naughty." Jessy said cuddling in tighter. "Snitch." Diana declared. "Grampa hogger." Chele called out. "Oh if it makes you feel better, I know Grampa loves me I don't have to sit in his lap to know that. Here. You just be good to my Grampa or I'll kick your sisterly butt." Jessy warned getting up and Chele snuck in quick like Jessy might change her mind. "Oh get paranoid. I'm gonna go sit on my Daddy's lap anyway so there." Jessy declared making her way to Walker. "Hi Daddy." Jessy said stopping in front of him smiling. "Hey sweetie. I sure have missed you and I'm so glad you're home safe and sound. I really am baby." Walker said pulling her into his lap, hugging her tight. "I'm glad I'm home too. I really missed you and Mommy and the kids. How's my Zoe and Mackie and the girls? Man I miss them." Jessy said closing her eyes to stop the tears, burying her face in his chest. "They miss you too. Actually Mother has some pictures they drew you to put up in your room here, so you're not lonely. Baby don't cry. It will be okay, I promise." Walker said holding her tighter, rocking her gently. "Now you sound like Zac. Must be you still love me too. Daddy I didn't know what else to do. I didn't mean to hurt Zac honest Daddy, I love him. I just didn't know what else to do, nobody would talk to me so I worried some pretty terrible things that might make you all turn on me that way. My heart broke when I realized you were all against me so I ran." Jessy confessed. "I'm so sorry we hurt you Jessy, you know it wasn't that, we didn't turn against you, we all love you sweetie and in a foolish way we thought we were protecting you. Instead we put you in more danger than you were already in. It's a miracle he didn't catch you alone that night you ran. He was down the road watching the house. One very sick man Jessy. Thank God he never got his hands on you, some how he lost you. He was the only one who knew you left the house that night." Walker was explaining. "That was him? I thought it was those jokes at the Dance. Daddy if those are the ones you use to protect the guys, they aren't very good." Jessy shared. "I agree they were a joke. Somebody the Club uses." Walker explained. "Daddy would you do that to your Jessie, Avie or Zoe. Just run their life and not talk to them?" Jessy asked. "Baby I don't know what I'd do in...." Walker answered before being interrupted. "That's not true dear. We did the same thing. We hired body guards, changed our life styles the first time the boys were threatened." Diana argued. "She's right Jessy, we did the same as Ken. We sheltered our children and hired someone to protect them." Walker confessed. "But the boys were younger. Daddy it's not the same, I worked, I provided for myself, I mapped my future, I even was engaged to be married, it's not the same how could he just make decisions for me and not even give me a say. Now Zac tells me he had the gall to tell him it was none of his business. Daddy Zac is my life, my future. Doesn't he understand that. I'm a person not a possession. How could he do this to me?" Jessy asked collapsing back into his arms for comfort. "It is different Jessy but did you ever think that Ken has only been your Daddy for a short time now, maybe that fact makes him think of you that way. How would he face your mother if he let something happen to you. I think a lot of your mother Jessy, but she's your mother first and Ken's wife second. Ken knows that, he told me Jessy." Walker explained. "Daddy I didn't know. That changes everything. I guess he wasn't owning me, was he?" Jessy whispered. "No sweetie, he told me once that you five were the most special gifts he'd ever received, that he loved you as if you were his own gift from God not Barbie." Walker whispered holding her tightly as she cried. The others left to set the table and serve lunch. "How's my girl doing?" Diana asked stroking her hair. "Pretty good. After lunch she and I are going out to TU to see if we can catch Ken and talk to him." Walker said. "Daddy promised to be there for me. I'm still scared to face him but things will never get better if I don't." Jessy said finally raising her head. "I'm going to go tell Zac." Jessy said getting up, turning back around, adding, "Thanks Daddy. You really are good at this Daddy stuff." "Oh you are so easy to love sweetie, it's my pleasure." Walker said stroking her hand. "I am so lucky to have you two." Jessy exclaimed hugging and kissing both before heading out to find Zac. "Hey babe, you're looking better. Looks like Dad was able to help." Zac said opening his arms. "Oh Zac." Jessy said rushing to his arms, "Hold me?" Jessy asked. "Anytime babe. You know I love you in my arms." Zac exclaimed. "I feel safe and loved here. God how could I have left you? What was I thinking?" Jessy cried. "Baby you weren't thinking you were dealing with a bad situation." Zac answered her questions, adding. "You know as much as I was hurting, babe I always knew you loved me. You had left me but not because of me." "No not because of you because of Daddy. Zac your Dad promised to take me to see him. I know how you feel right now, that's why I didn't ask you hun, so your Dad's going to do it for you, hold my hand and help me be strong." Jessy said. "I told you Mom and Dad would figure our something didn't I?" Zac asked. "Yeah you did and you were right. Do you have any idea how lucky you are to have them as parents?" Jessy asked. "Yeah Babe, I know how fortunate I am to have them as parents. They are as good as it comes. God did okay by them." Zac said smiling at his parents, adding. "Thanks Mom and Dad. I love you for loving Jessy. You two really are the best and I thank God you're my parents." Zac confessed. "Oh Zachary, you're still my precious little boy." Diana said hugging him, adding, "Jessy is such a joy, how could we not love her. You two seem to bring the best out in each other." "We're proud of you too son. You've turned into a fine man and we know you'll do right by Jessy. We're behind you two no matter what." Walker said as they all hugged. "I'm hungry and thirsty." Jessy declared and they all headed to lunch, toasting the newly weds. Walker and Diana we quite as forgiving as Grampa, they did lecture and voiced their disappointment in being excluded and after agreeing to a Tulsa ceremony, all was right in the world.
