Jessy woke to someone shaking her arm lightly. She opened her eyes to see Chele smiling from ear to ear, motioning for her to follow her. Zac's left arm was wrapped around her waist and his left leg was over both of hers. Jessy carefully moved out from under his leg, then lifted his arm and slid across the bed towards Chele. Chele grabbed Jessy's hand and pulled her towards the bathroom. Jessy glanced at the clock, 5:30. "Are you crazy? Do you know what time it is? I was sleeping in Zac Hanson's arms, this better be good." Jessy wispered loudly. "It is. Look." Chele said showing Jessy her grandmother's ring. "You too. Way Cool. Look." Jessy showed Chele hers. "No Way." Chele said her mouth open. "Way. And I got one more stones than you, Zac's." Jessy said staring at Chele. "Sis?" Jessy said. "What Sis?" Chele said beaming. "You look different. Wow, you look beautiful. Something in your eyes. What happened to you?" Jessy said staring at her sister. "What do you mean?" Chele said looking in the mirror. "It's just me. God my hair." Chele said picking up a brush, she noticed it too a sparkle in her eyes. "Jessy promise not to tell anyone, not even Zac." Chele said. "I don't know, maybe you better not tell me. I don't like the idea of keeping things from Zac, Chele we promised each of to be truthful with each other, always. And he reads me like a book" Jessy shared. "Wow, you guys are connected." Chele said. "I can't believe the stuff we talk about. When he game me this as a going steady ring and told me what it meant. I told him a cracker box ring is good enough not your grandmother's ring, it's as important as a wedding or engagement ring and he said today it's a going steady ring, then tomorrow it can be an engagement ring and then when we convince the world how right this is, it can be your wedding ring. I bawled like a baby." Jessy said. "Jessy you talked about getting married?" Chele asked. "Not really getting married, just that we would be married with lots of kids." Jessy said. "Jessy, I didn't know. How far have you gone?" Chele asked. "Oh we went downtown like you." Jessy teased. "God you're impossible." Chele laughed. "Emotionally we've gone like to the moon and back. I mean in the beginning every time I looked at him much less kissed him, he was saluting below the waist. I'm thinking help me this is embarassing. So I told him so, and told him if he can't control it, I just won't kiss him any more until he can. I'm thinking, oh this will wound that ego and he'll never speak to me again. But he asked his Dad, talked to his Dad and told him what I said. He doesn't do it anymore." Jessy shared. "God more than I wanted to know." Chele put her hands to her ears. "You want to know phsically don't you? Well, we kiss, a lot, we hold hands like all the time, just tonight, he carried me upstairs and got my jammers for me, and turned his back so I could get dressed. I'm no fool, he faced the mirror but it was the thought that mattered. And then latter he was massaging my calf and his hand kept going, driving me insane and then he lifts his hand and says someday, right now we need to get you better. Torture. I want him sooo much and he's a gentleman." Jessy said showing her frustration. "Oh baby, he's right you have plenty of time, you have your whole lives. I mean if you go all the way now, what will you do when your my age? You've already done it." Chele said. "You went all the way. That's what's different. Oh god Chele it shows, I told you there was something different about you. You're a woman now. Oh you're so lucky. Tell me everything. Did it hurt. Were you embarassed. Did you use protection, please tell me you used something." Jessy asked. "Yes we used a condom. That part was a little embarassing for Tay, he was nervous and couldn't get it up enough to stay and he about freaked when I went in the bathroom and helped him. Then he carried me back to bed, swearing he didn't deserve me to love him that much. I thought I'd die when he said that and he kissed me so gently I wanted to scream no more kissing, I want to be a woman now, but I didn't. He was so loving, kissing me everywhere driving me totally insane, then he kissed my belly ring and he looked me in the eyes and said Chele I love you with every part of me and I want you more than anything but are you sure this is what you want? I can wait for you, even if it takes forever. I told him I don't want to wait forever, I know that you love me, all of me not just the body of me. But Tay I love you too. not just because you're a rock star. I love the man you are, and I don't think you know that so this is the only way I know to show you how much I do love you and want you. I want you now and forever, you're the only man for me, I want you to be my first and only." Chele said. "Oh God Chele he's so luck you love him. Do you think he finally knows how much you do love him. Some times words aren't enough." Jessy said seeming sad. "Jessy, don't think that way, I'm here now because I'm terrified of what I've done. There's no way you could handle everything. You and Zac just keep going the way your going, learning to depend on each other and building that trust then you won't feel like me afraid I made a bad choice, what if that is all he wanted. To get in my pants and I let him in, all of him." Chele said tears welling up in her eyes. "Chele are you okay, did it hurt you." Jessy asked. "What no a little at first but it must be like having babies, yeah it hurts but its well worth it and you forget it hurts. I'm cryng because Emotionally I'm a beginner compared to you. I mean when I decided to go all the way, I was so sure he loved me, but right now I don't know." Chele cried. "This is ridiculous. Of course he loves you, he told me so, lots of times. He's always asking me if you love him and he'd say I love her so I can't bear to think she doesn't love me." Jessy said, adding "I'll prove it. Come on." Jessy said taking Chele by the hand and limping all the way to mom's room, "Taylor wake up." Jessy said. "What, Jessy, Chele what's wrong?" Tay said taking her hands and pulling her to his lap, wrapping his arms around her, kissing her. "Tell him or I will." Jessy said. "I will then, she's worried she made a big mistake showing you how much she loves you. She actually doubted your love, and I say no way in hell. Must be that time of the month to be that soft in the head, it's obvious, the man loves you. But No, you get me out of bed, out of Zac's arms to have me limp your sorry ass back over to the man you know that loves you. Probably just wanted to get layed again. Sisters why was it I wanted one. Somebody tell me. Why." Jessy mumbled slamming the door on the way out. Jessy stopped and listened. Their laughter made her smile. "Chele tell me it's not true you didn't doubt that I love you?" Taylor said to Jessy's delight as Zac's arms made their way around her waist. "What you hollering and slamming doors for?" Zac asked nuzzling her hair. finding her neck and kissing it. "Carry me back to bed and I'll tell you." Jessy said turning to face him. The minute her eyes met his, Jessy smiled then she kissed him. "Maybe not all the way but close isn't bad." Jessy thought to herself as Zac laid her down on the bed. Jessy didn't let go and pulled him towards her. "Jessy let go, I have to pee." Zac said. "Me too" Jessy said. Zac stared at her, Jessy smiled and put her arms out towards him like a baby that wants to be picked up. "You're impossible." Zac said picking her up. "Am Not. Don't you know anything is possible if you put your mind to it." Jessy said. "Delerious must be from the pain." Zac teased. "Am Not. It's from lack of food. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. You're a healer, I woke up and your hand was on my belly, you healed me." Jessy said. "If you don't have to pee I will." Zac said making his way around her. "Never heard of ladies first huh?" Jessy hinted. "You're impossible. Pee now woman." Zac said totally frustrated, he threw his hands in the air. "I'm tinkling grumpy, hear. Even got the paper work done and I'll even lift the lid cuz you ain't peeing on my toilet seat. I sit there. Jessy said limping to the sink, bumping into Zac. "Now who's impossible, your in my way. Anyway pee now man." Jessy grumbled turning on the water and washing her hands and face, turning off the water and grabbing a towel. Zac was done and at the sink and bumped into Jessy. "Well excuuuuuse me." Jessy said throwing the towel at him and limped out of the bathroom. Jessy had decided to eat so she kept on gimping. At the door she stopped and decided hopping would be faster so she hopped to the stairs. "Not again." she said sitting on the top step and sliding and half way, "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow" Jessy said. At the bottom she moaned and got up slowly, her butt hurt and she rubbed it, as she heard footsteps, lots of them. "Jessy what were you doing." Zac said. "Oh let's say I don't like the crack in my ass, so I thought I'd crack me a new one. What else, I was afraid I'd fall if I hopped down and one at a time took to long okay." Jessy said and hopped towards the kitchen. "Jessy stop, why didn't you wait for me? I was just washing my hands." Zac asked. "Didn't want to bother you, I'm impossible." Jessy said. As Zac tried to pick her up, "Put me down. I don't need your help." Jessy yelled and immediately began to cry, "That's not true." Jessy threw her arms around his neck. "Zac I'm sorry for being impossible. I don't mean to be." Jessy said sniffling. "No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you impossible. You're not. I guess I was still shocked you wanted me to take you to the bathroom with me." Zac said pulling her to him. "Just more of those learning pains." Zac said as he kissed her. "You okay Jessy." Tay asked. "I am now. Jessy answered kissing Zac. "Jessy I think you ass is cute, why would you want to crack it." Chele teased. Jessy looked her way and started laughing. "What's so funny besides you." Chele asked. "You two, look at you. It's a good thing you wear boxers instead of panties to bed, or Tay would look real silly about now. The old joke, I've worn them ever since my wife found them in the glove compartment, comes to mind." Jessy teased. The four heated the leftovers and had lazagna for breakfast. As they sat down to eat there was a knock at the door, Jessy got up to answer it but Zac carried her to the front door. "It's Ash, I forgot to call. Morning Ash, come on in. Sorry I forgot to call, running's out for me for a while I pulled something in my calf yesterday. Getting too old, Ash. Come on in." Jessy said. "Zac I didn't know you were here?" Ash said. "Come on in, Tay and Chele are in the kitchen. Let's go see if she's still going." Jessy asked as Zac picke her up and led the way. "My personal taxi, I get there lots faster and I just think Zac's tired of my boobs bouncing as I hop. Chele, Ash is here, you still going to run?" Jessy asked and Ash joined them for lazagna instead. Tay went up to get dressed and drive Ash home while the others got dressed. "See you tonight Ash, can't wait to meet Becky." Chele reminded him. Kitchen cleaned, Zac carried Jessy up to her room to get dressed. Jessy sat on the bed trying to figure out what to wear to conceal her sore leg. She hardly noticed Zac dressing. "I know how to hide it." Jessy said hopping to the dresser and dug through the sock drawer finding a pair of elastic compression socks, she used to wear dancing. Zac help me put them on, they have to go on straight or they're not effective. Jessy finished dressing while Zac straightened the bed. Jessy opted for a midi length dress, navy with little white flowers that had a white collar and cuffs, which covered most of the stockings. "Zac in the shoe bag there are a pair of dark blue linen flats that go with this, can you find them?" Jessy asked. Zac found the shoes and brought them over and put them on. Jessy stood and walked with less limping. "Miracle socks." Jessy declared heading to the door. "Save it for when you need it." Zac said picking her up and carrying her down the stairs. Tay returned and the four headed home.
