"Morning babe. You look better. How do you feel?" Zac asked as she woke. "You been watching me all night?" Jessy asked scooting closer and cuddling. "Not all night." Zac answered kissing her sweetly. "I must admit I feel a whole lot better." Jessy shared kissing his cheek then finishing, "I think it's all the stress. You know from all the fighting over you not telling me. I wish I had been wise enough ten days ago and just trusted you." "it's my fault too. You can't fight alone." Zac shared. "That's was stupid." Jessy said, talking back to herself, "Are you calling me stupid? Well you're just plan rude." "I am not rude." Jessy squealed, talking back to herself, "Well that's your opinion. And it's not shared by anyone else because you are r - u - d - e, rude, rude, rude." "So I'm wrong. You can fight all by yourself. I love your sense of humor." Zac choked out between laughs. "And I just plain love you." Jessy confessed rolling on top of him, straddling him. "Babe don't. I'm not that strong right now." Zac moaned as Jessy lowered her body to his, kissing him deeply. "I personally think you are one of the strongest, most committed people I've ever met. I have learned to trust you though so if you say so." Jessy said pecking his forehead before crawling from bed and heading to the bathroom. "Lift the seat when you're done." Zac called out heading her way. "Sure enough." Jessy said lifting the seat with her foot before heading to the sink to wash her face and hands then brush her teeth. "I am hungry." Jessy sighed as her stomach rumbled. "You emptied it last night. You should be hungry. How about some yogurt?" Zac asked washing his hands then heading out, returning with a container of yogurt and a spoon. "You are so good to me." Jessy sighed leaning in to kiss him. "Don't tell but.." Zac whispered then looking both ways before finishing, "I really like you." "Really! Me! Oh my God I don't believe it!" Jessy squealed hugging him tight. "Ssshh. Don't tell nobody." Zac whispered. "Hmmm. I don't want to go there right now." Jessy mumbled shaking her head no and heading to the bedroom, placing her yogurt on the dresser, opening a drawer and pulling out a pair of panties and bra. She put on the bra then pulled on her panties, "Zac what's wrong?" Jessy asked as she turned to head to the closet, noticing the sad look on his face. "I'm so sorry babe. I never should have listened to him. I should have shared everything with you from the get go." Zac confessed hanging his head. "You think so. I think I should have trusted your love and just done what you asked. Zac I know you would never do anything that would hurt me. And you've proven yourself over and over that you'll protect me from others. I can't count the number of times you've stood up for me against your brother." Jessy shared making her way to him. "No babe. I never should have kept it from you. I just shouldn't have." Zac declared taking her hands in his, asking, "Sit and talk with me?" "Always." Jessy answered smiling at him, adding as she nodded at his holding her hands, "You know I love this." "Yeah I know. But you know I do it because I'm greedy." Zac teased leading her to the bed, setting her down. "So what do you want to talk about?" Jessy asked gazing at him. "Just a minute." Zac said rushing to the dresser grabbing one of his tee shirts, returning and pulling it over her head, explaining, "You're a little distracting dressed that way. They're my favorites." "Yeah I know. That's why I chose them." Jessy replied as he pulled her hair out from under his shirt. "We're headed to Georgia babe. The whole family is going for the weekend." Zac shared. "And?" Jessy asked. "Yeah you know there's more don't you?" Zac replied. "Yeah hun because that you would have told me. Why are we going to Georgia Zac?" Jessy asked watching as Zac struggled with what he was about to share. "That's where Natalie is from?" Zac answered then looked away. "Natalie who?" Jessy asked as Zac rose, walking to the window and gazing out. "Zac if you feel you are betraying him, you don't have to tell me." Jessy said making her way to him, wrapping her arms around him, whispering, "Zac I do trust you. I don't have to know anything more than I will be with you. I'm sorry I fought you over this. I don't want to know Zac." "Betraying him isn't the problem. You and I are the problem..." Zac explained until Jessy gasped pulling away from him. "I didn't mean that. We're not a bad problem." Zac tried to explain as Jessy interrupted, "We're a problem? Zac how can you say that?" "How'd this go so wrong?" Zac grumbled shaking his head no. "Well I guess you think we are a problem." Jessy pouted heading back and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Jessy please I didn't mean that I know I said it but I just didn't explain it right." Zac apologized making his way to her, the sadness on her face ripping at his heart. "What do you mean?" Jessy asked fighting tears, adding as she began to sniffle, "I am not going to cry. Don't you baby me. I have no reason to cry. You said you didn't mean it the way I took it." "I love you Jessy. You know I think we are so right for each other." Zac shared kissing her sweetly. "I know that Zac. Like I said I have no reason to cry." Jessy replied. "I'm sorry babe." Zac whispered wrapping her in his arms as she cried, asking when she stopped, "Forgive me?" "Well now that that's over. You don't need forgiving hun. I guess it's just a residual effect from the fighting we've been doing." Jessy explained lifting her tee shirt and wiping her eyes. "We are so meant to be." Zac declared wrapping her in his arms, kissing her sweetly. "I agree. Sometimes it might not seem that way but when I calm down or back off, it's amazing how simple this all is." Jessy shared caressing the arms that held her, adding, "You ready to try again?" "Yep." Zac answered. "Just Yep." Jessy interrupted before giggling. "Nope." Zac teased nuzzling her neck laughing. "Just Nope." Jessy choked out as they both collapsed on the bed, laughing uncontrollably. As they cuddled Zac explained everything, ending, "I can't believe I didn't tell you the minute Taylor told me." "I don't think you believed him. I'm having a hard time buying all this." Jessy shared turning in his arms. adding, "Zac remember either the second or third thing I said the night I talked my way into your life?" "You didn't tell them?" Zac answered thinking about that night, gasping, "Oh no it was something like Zac I think he's hitting on me. Make him stop." "Yeah just nine months ago Taylor was hitting on me and now he's getting married to his longtime sweetheart. I don't get it Zac." Jessy shared cuddling against him, gently shaking her head no. "I feel the same way. I keep asking him if he's sure and he just says you didn't hear Mom and Dad." Zac explained. "Do you think she's pregnant Zac? I hope not. That's no reason to get married." Jessy asked, adding, "Well unless you and I go stupid in the head and I end up pregnant. Then that's a good reason to get married." "Stupid in the head huh?" Zac chuckled, adding, "I'd be honored to marry you." "I feel the same way about you." Jessy replied caressing his face, gasping as it dawned on her, adding, "Now I see why this is so hard for you. We're the way it's supposed to be. That's why you said we were the problem. You know we're talking about it, planning it, working at it. Not like Tay telling you less than a month before the wedding and you haven't met her yet." "Yeah babe that's what I meant." Zac replied, adding, "See how meant to be we are. You even figured that out." "Oh you know I get much smarter when I lay in your arms." Jessy teased kissing him all over. "We better get ready. The car will be here in an hour or so." Zac moaned as their passion grew. "I guess." Jessy whispered before crawling on top of him, adding, "We could you know what and make it a double wedding." "I'll you know what you." Zac teased back rolling them over and pinning her to the bed. "You aren't waiting for me to complain are you? You know me, old beg him to make love to you." Jessy teased. "No I'm not waiting for you to complain or stop me. I know that's my job." Zac answered with a deep sigh. "Oh you changing your mind or something?" Jessy asked of the sigh. "Oh no babe. I was just trying to understand how Tay got himself into this... this... Jesus Jessy." Zac shared suddenly speechless and overcome with emotions. "How about this predicament? I don't know what to tell you Zac. I'm as lost as you are. I've only got us to compare it to and I just don't see it happening to us." Jessy shared cuddling him to her. "Yeah I don't see it happening to us." Zac replied. "I guess we can only keep them in our prayers. As bad as this seems right now Zac, I'm sure if they work at it, things can work out." Jessy suggested before the two dressed for their trip. "Well the Fortune Teller was right. You know a wedding and travel babe." Zac shared as their ride arrived. 1
