"Hurry Jessy." Venita called out, adding, "What on the phone again?" "Why doesn't he answer his cell phone. He can't be in the studio. I can't reach Mom and Dad either." Jessy grumbled. "No time now. We have to go Jessy." Venita said again pulling her by the hand. Jessy and her Court loaded into a van for the ride to the village park where they'd find the car they would ride in. "Hurry girls. Jessy you ride in the red corvette, Venita in the white mustang and Alicia your in the blue mustang." Mr Overly instructed. "Red corvette. Red corvette." Jessy mumbled making her way down the parade lineup, looking for her ride wondering why Zac didn't answer. "There's our rides." Alicia said. "Huh?" Jessy asked making it aware she wasn't paying attention. "Man he must be good. You ever seen her like this?" Alicia asked. "Jessy. No way. Especially about a guy. She's been so madly in love with that drummer. No one will ever measure up. I figure Jessy will go through life always a bridesmaid and never a bride." Venita explained. "That's nice." Jessy mumbled still thinking about Zac "Totally lost it. Man I hope she's over him by Volleyball season." Alicia shared. "Who knows." Venita sighed quickly grabbing Jessy as she walked past the red corvette convertible, adding, "Jessy. Jessy to earth. Your ride your majesty." "Oh yeah." Jessy said making her way to the car. It was easy to smile throughout the entire parade, Jessy just thought about Zac. At the football field they kept her busy with a fund raiser up until half time, having your picture taken with the Queen. They returned to their cars for a ride around the track before the Court was introduced. "Man I see spots before my eyes. I'm think I'm sick. Am I gonna die Brandon?" Jessy teased. "Gees Jessy don't look at the cameras, the flash will blind you. No wonder you see spots." Brandon sighed. "What do I look at, you?" Jessy teased. "Nah!! We don't want you really getting sick." Brandon teased back as they waved goodbye to the crowds and headed back to the car. They sat and cheered on the team for the second half. After the game they headed to the Dance. "Welcome to this year's Homecoming Dance. King Brandon and Queen Jessy will start the dance." Principal Overly announced. Brandon led Jessy to the center of the floor and they began to dance. "Man spots again." Jessy whispered as cameras flashed. "Don't look at the cameras." Brandon reminded as they were joined by the rest of the court. As the dance floor filled, "Do you mind if I cut in?" Zac asked tapping the shoulder of Jessy's dance partner. "Zac." Jessy squealed quickly wrapping her arms around him hugging him tight, adding, "I don't believe this. You weren't going to come. You're suppose to be in LA. Oh my God you're here." "You think I'd miss one of the biggest nights in your life?" Zac asked. "Oh I don't believe this." Jessy gasped fighting the tears, hugging him even tighter. "Come on babe don't cry." Zac whispered as he swayed them to the music. "I can't help it. I miss you so much." Jessy whimpered burying her face in his hair and crying. "Don't cry babe. Sssh. I'm here. The whole family is here or at your house I mean." Zac whispered. "What? The family came too. Oh Zac how wonderful." Jessy squealed raising her head, smiling big. "Hmmm my coming makes you cry but the family coming makes you smile. You sure it's me you love?" Zac teased. "I don't know now." Jessy teased back pretending to be troubled by the suggestion. "Jessy. You love me period. No thinking about it you just do okay?" Zac insisted. "I knew that. Just making sure you still do." Jessy replied with a snicker, adding, "Just kiss me." Kiss her he did and before it ended the two remembered exactly how much they loved each other. "I love you. Oh Zac I didn't tell you thanks for the dress and all. It's so beautiful. When I put it on the first time, I felt just like I do in your arms. You have great taste hun." Jessy shared kissing his cheek. "So how's it feel now. You know you in the dress that makes your feel like your in my arms while you're in my arms?" Zac whispered. "Hmmm. I feel like I'd give anything for us to be alone and... Whoa better not think about that. Hey Brandon, Brandon. Brandon, Venita I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Zac." Jessy introduced as Brandon danced nearby. "Zac." Brandon said reaching for his hand and shaking it. "King Brandon." Zac teased, adding, "Hey Venita." "Hey Za.... Zac? No." Venita choked out. "Yeah Ve...Venita." Zac teased back. "Oh my god it's you. Jessy it's him." Venita squealed. "Yeah it's him, my boyfriend Zac." Jessy replied trying to figure out if she knew it was her drummer. "No. HIm. You know the guy of your dreams. That drummer with his brothers that sang that song. You know that 'Mmmbop' song. It is isn't it?" Venita asked. "You've been made hun." Jessy whispered. "No wonder you're so gaga over him, it's him." Venita squealed. "Him who?" Brandon asked. "You know the pop star that Jessy has been in love with forever. Since what 97 or something like that." Venita answered. "A Pop Star here in Lawrence. Nah. You've been to the punch bowl one too many times." Brandon teased. "No I haven't. Ask her?" Venita argued. "So Jessy is your boyfriend this famous pop star or what?" Brandon asked. "He was but now he's a famous rock star." Jessy answered. "See he was. He what?" Brandon asked explaining to Venita but quickly turning back, adding, "You're a rock star?" "Guilty. Don't let it change things okay?" Zac answered then asked. "Nah it's cool." Brandon said introducing him to some friends. "You never told me. I can't believe you never told me. I don't believe you." Venita said shaking her finger. "See why? You don't believe me and Zac is right here. You never would have believed me if I had told you." Jessy answered watching Zac having a good time. "So Jessy you like kissing a guy with hair as long as yours, nope make that longer than yours." Alicia asked. "Just look at him. He is a major hunk. I love his long hair. Not many guys have the balls to wear long hair like that." Jessy answered gazing at Zac. "Yeah he is hot." Alicia sighed. "Hot but taken." Jessy teased. "I still don't believe you didn't tell me you met him." Venita complained again. "When I went to help Sis move into her apartment for that three days. Wham. From the minute we met we were inseparable and still are." Jessy answered before making her way to the group of guys Zac was with. "Your Majesty." Brian teased making a big swooping bow, followed by most of the other guys. "That's Your Most Beautiful and Royal Majesty. Get it right next time or I'll deck you." Jessy teased back flexing her bicep. "You're always a kidder Jessy. Man she's about everybody's best friend." Brian shared. "She's mine." Brandon added. "Mine too." Joe added. "Me too. That is when she don't hate me." Michael joined in. "Well you know what, she's my best friend too. And my girl. And the love of my life. She's just about everything." Zac shared wrapping her in his arms. "Someday I'll be your lover too." Jessy whispered into his ear. "Someday." Zac whispered back holding her tighter. When the dance finally ended, Jessy made excuses turning down invitations to several parties, "I'm really sorry Alicia. You see Zac's family came with him and I haven't seen then in forever." Jessy explained one more time. "Jessy I told you we're all staying for a couple of days. You should have seen Zoe take to Drew. We may be here forever or at least until she gets him to propose." Zac whispered into her ear. "Ohhh what did he say?" Venita asked of Jessy's giggling. "Huh? Oh it was about Drew and his youngest sister. Zac the dance is over and I really want to see everyone. Let's go?" Jessy asked. "Sure babe. Bye everyone. It was nice meeting you." Zac announced their leaving. "My car's over here." Jessy said pointing as the two made it out the door. "So you want to go home and see the family huh?" Zac asked as the walked arm in arm. "Nah I can see them later. I just wanted to be alone with you." Jessy answered nibbling on his ear. "I like the sound of that." Zac moaned stopping and pulling her to him, kissing her deeply. "Oh I have missed you holding me, kissing me, and touching me the way you do." Jessy moaned as their lips parted. "Like this?" Zac asked gently cuppling her face in his hand, lifting it towards his again, gazing deep into her blue eyes. "Oh yeah." Jessy sighed smiling at him, kissing a finger then pressing it to his lips, adding, "I love you Zac." "I love you too babe." Zac replied pressing his lips to hers, kissing her passionately. "Come on let's go some place more private." Jessy said as someone came through the door and whooped and hollered about them kissing. They loaded into her car and headed out. "Turn here Zac. See the lane." Jessy asked. "Yeah. Where's it lead to?" Zac asked. "Some place private." Jessy teased. "You sure?" Zac asked. "Uh huh. Very, very private. Umm if I don't tell someone where we are, they wouldn't find us in weeks." Jessy answered as Zac came to the end of the lane. "What now?" Zac asked. "Pull over there and park." Jessy said pointing at the clearing. "Cool place." Zac shared. "Uncle Tom's hiding place. I think I'm the only female that knows of it and maybe a handful of close male friends." Jessy explained unbuckling her seatbelt as soon as the car stopped, then reaching across and unbuckling Zac. "We getting out?" Zac asked. "Can. I think I've got a blanket in the trunk and some bug repellent." Jessy answered. "Or we could stay right here." Zac suggested pulling her onto him. "I like it here." Jessy sighed kissing Zac then adding, "A lot." "Me too." Zac sighed kissing her over and over. "You are such a great kisser. No wonder I missed you so." Jessy moaned pulling herself even closer as her breathing deepened. "I forgot how soft your lips are." Zac whispered sucking her lip, moaning, "How good you taste." Zac trailed his lips to her ear, kissing gently before making his way to her neck sucking lightly here and there driving her crazy as he made his way to her other ear. "I love you Zac." Jessy moaned contemplating making tonight their 'Someday'. "I love you to baby. I want you so." Zac moaned as his hand began to explore her body. "Ahhhh." Jessy moaned as her yearning for him grew and grew. "Baby you taste so good." Zac moaned sucking her neck harder as his hand made its way under her dress and was on her upper thigh. Just the thought of him touching her sent her mind pictures of the two of them making love and how good they would be together but it also sent the image of her pregnant. The two of them fighting over the stupidest things because of the baby. "Zac if you're so hungry, there are crackers in the console. A candy bar too." Jessy whispered sincerely causing him to laugh heartily over and over. "Well it's not that funny. You were devouring my neck there. Did you leave me any?" Jessy asked as Zac roared even louder. "You crack me up babe." Zac choked out. "You know Zac, I think there's a cooler in the trunk. Yeah there is. There's pop in it. And Uncle Tom gave me a bag of snacks too. I was so busy I didn't even eat. Zac I'm hungry." Jessy pouted. "I get it babe. We're going to eat." Zac said pushing her back to her seat, popping the trunk and heading that way. "What did you mean you get it?" Jessy asked opening her door and heading to the trunk, adding, "Romantic lighting. Cool move Zac." "Don't you just love the soft glow of the trunk light?" Zac teased pulling two pops from the cooler then pouring the snack bag contents onto the lid. "Jerky. Ummm he buys killer jerky. Try one." Jessy shared handing a piece to Zac, adding, "You didn't answer my question Zac." "I get it babe. You know the fact you cracked me up to change the subject. I wouldn't have Jessy you know that right?" Zac answered pulling her close and gazing at her looking for his answer. "You wouldn't have what Zac?" Jessy asked confused. "I know you babe. You crack up when you can't deal with something. Jessy I would never go all the way until we're both ready. You know that right?" Zac asked again. "Yeah Zac I know that." Jessy answered hugging him tight, whispering, "I trust you hun it's me I was worried about." "What?" Zac asked totally shocked. "Yeah me. Man Zac I was seeing these pictures of us making love and we were so good together I honestly was thinking tonight should be our 'Someday'. But all of a sudden is this picture of me pregnant and then the two of us fighting about everything just because I'm pregnant. I changed my mind so fast." Jessy shared grabbing her head shaking the images away. "So that's it." Zac whispered placing his hands on hers, stopping the shaking before tilting her face to his, adding, "Thanks for being the sane one. I wasn't thinking about those consequences just making love to you. I'm sorry babe." "Don't be sorry that you wanted to make love to me Zac. It's going to be the right thing someday." Jessy whispered then smiled. "Yeah babe someday but Jessy I'm sorry you always have to be the one to remind me." Zac shared smiling back at her, kissing her forehead gently before adding, "I promise next time we, you know, I'll be the designated sane one." "You the sane on. I laugh." Jessy choked out as she laughed harder and harder. "Well! I think I'm wounded here." Zac choked out as she laughed her way to the ground. "Get real Zac. Think about what you just said." Jessy choked out only to be joined by Zac on the ground and laughing. "Oh my pretty dress." Jessy squealed rising quickly, asking, "Did I get it dirty?" "I don't think so babe. The lighting isn't the greatest but I don't see anything Jessy." Zac answered. "Unzip me please. I have to have something in here I can wear." Jessy asked pawing through the trunk, adding, "Ah ha. Boxers and a tank for me and here you can have the shorts and tee shirt." "I'm not wearing your shorts. Give me the boxers. Oh don't, I have my own." Zac said. "What and you didn't offer them to me?" Jessy squealed. "You have your own." Zac answered. "But I want yours." Jessy pouted. "Not the pouty lip again." Zac moaned. "Nope. Never again." Jessy whimpered sucking in her lip. "But I so love your pouty lip." Zac whispered nuzzling her neck. "Nope." Jessy sighed. "Please baby. I love it so." Zac whispered nibbling her ear. "Ahhh you cheat. You know I love that." Jessy squealed turning in his arms, adding, "I love you." "I love you too babe." Zac said lowering the zipper of her gown then gazing into her blue eyes. "I don't think there is anything on earth that can make me feel this way. Just you. Zac I love you so much." Jessy sighed caresseing his face, gazing deeper into his warm brown eyes, adding, "I feel so loved here, gazing into your eyes. Here I know I'm loved." "i do love you." Zac moaned kissing her deeply, adding, "Jessy I wouldn't..." "Woldn't what Zac? Honey what's wrong?" Jessy asked of the look on his face. "Nothing's wrong. It's just, you know the picture you saw of you pregnant then us fighting. I just don't see it that way babe. I think if we did make love and made a baby too... Jessy I wouldn't be mad. Do you think I'd be mad at you because I got you pregnant?" Zac asked. "I don't know. What you'd be glad I'm pregnant at 17? Gees Zac I'd be like eight months pregnant at graduation. No way. Yeah I could see us at the Prom me pregnant out to here. No way. Zac I'm not ready for something like that and my making love to you makes it a possibility. No Zac. If that's what you want then you got the wrong girl." Jessy squealed wriggling from his grip moving a few feet away, slipping out of her gown quickly pulling on her tank and boxers. Jessy lifted the gown, zipped it then examined it for any stains before folding it gently. As she turned to place it on the back seat, "Oh Zac. Hun what's wrong?" Jessy squealed dropping the gown and rushing to hold him, adding, "Zac what is it?" "I can't lose you Jessy. It's not what I want. I want you, only you. Honest Jessy." Zac answered in barely a whisper with so much fear in his voice. "Oh Zac I'm sorry. Me and my mouth. You'd think I'd learn to shut up when I piss myself off. Zac I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. Hun I know me being pregnant isn't what you want but.." Jessy apologized, pausing to caress his face before finishing, "Zac I know you love me and wouldn't hate me or us if I ended up pregnant. I know that in my heart Zac. I know you would never hurt me like that no matter what I did. Forgive me for taking a cheap shot. I honestly know better and I'm sorry." "It's okay Jessy." Zac replied kissing her gently. "How'd I ever luck out and end up with you. Thank you." Jessy said looking to the heavens at the end. "Yep thanks from me too." Zac added. "Hey Zac you want to go skinny dipping? Have you ever? The water feels so good." Jessy asked remember the feeling. "Nope never have babe but I'm game if you are." Zac answered. "You're gamey all right." Jessy teased plugging her nose. "Hey it's all your fault, scarring the piss out of me like that." Zac teased back. "You're insane. Come on let's go do the dip." Jessy squealed helping him out of his tuxedo. Jessy folded his tux and refolded her gown, placing them on the back seat before grabbing the flashlight from under the driver's seat. "Here hun you take this since I know the way better." Jessy said handing the flashlight to Zac and grabbing the blanket from the trunk before leading him by the hand to the pond. They spread out the blanket then placed their clothes on it. "Ready to skinny dip?" Jessy asked watching Zac's boxers drop on top of hers slowly gazing at him, finally lifting her eyes to his. "Let's do it." Zac whispered and Jessy's eyes dropped again gazing at his naked form while pictures of the two of them making love played in her mind. "Not that babe. Let's go skinny dipping." Zac said softly caressing her face lifting it back up to his. "You sure that's what you want to do?" Jessy teaed. "In the water woman." Zac teased pulling her by the hand. The two enjoyed the water and themselves becoming much closer. As they laid on the blanket to dry, "Someday." Zac whispered climbing on top of her, wedging his legs between her then slowly lowering himself to her. "Someday soon Zac." Jessy whispered pulling him closer then trapping him with her legs. "It'll be now if you don't let go of me." Zac squealed enjoying the sensation of their bodies matching so well. "Now?" Jessy whimpered as visions of them making love played over and over in her mind. "Jessy let me go. Now." Zac insisted quickly moving off to her side then wrapping her in his arms again, adding, "I love you too much babe. I can't chance losing you because you weren't really ready." Zac whispered holding her even tighter. "We better go before they do start searching." Jessy said and the two dressed, made their way back to the car and headed home.
Baby You're So Fine *Home*
