CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: ANDIE

Jesse was always of a people person than an animal lover, but that didn't change how loving he could be.

He showed love in many ways and one of those was learning to adapt toy was his partner needs...the way he hold me and touches me wasn't how it started out to be.

He used to be a little rougher with me, but that changed when he made me scream and not in a good way.

I don't even remember what he did, I just remember my brother barging in and pulling him off of me.

When he showed up to take me to school the next day he had a pretty nasty looking black eye and a swollen busted lip.

"Hey Jesse, do you remember the first time we had sex?" I asked as I finished the last stitch.

"All I remember is you screaming and Jimmy kicking my ass for hurting you." He answered letting out a small laugh.

"You were the only one that he ever did that to, so you should feel special." I laughed as I wrapped Romeo's leg with some gauze and some Coban wrap. "There...you can put him in the back now...he's all fixed up."

"Alright, but why did you want to know if I remembered our first time?" He asked as he picked up the exhausted pup.

"No reason, I was just think about how you used to be." I answered with a dismissive smirk.

"Okay...well I'll put him in the cab while you pack up." He said before heading back to the cab.

I quickly packed up everything that I had used and threw it into my bag  before heading to the passenger's side.

"Are we going to keep the puppy?" Ashley asked as I got into the truck.

"I don't see why not...your mommy already seems to be attached to him...she even named him." Jesse answered as he started the engine.

"Jesse...you need to put a shirt on." I said as I crossed my legs.

"Why would I need to do that?"  He asked with a smirk.

"Because I'm not comfortable with it." I answered without looking away from the windshield.

"Is that why you won't look at me?"

"Just stop and put on a shirt...please."

"No...not until you look at me."

I turned my head and looked over to him, but I wasn't looking at his face...nope instead my eyes were fixated on his torso.

"The things I would do to you if we were alone right now." I whispered hoping he wouldn't hear me.

"What was that?" Jesse asked with a smirk.

"Nothing, I was just thinking out loud..." I answered with a small nervous laugh. "You know you have an affect on me and yet you still don't want to put a shirt on."

"And what affect do I have on you?"

"Let's just say that I wish we were at the bunkers right now." I answered as I tried to control myself. "Will you please put on a shirt...I'm begging you."

"Nah...I like the way you are looking at me too much." He laughed.

"Maybe we should stop and eat something." I suggested looking away from him again.

"Why would we need to do that ?" He asked confused. "All we have is jerky, chips and canned baked beans."

"Jesse...I need to get a few things before we get there." I said trying not to say too much.

"I'll have to find a store first and we're still in the middle of nowhere." Jesse said still confused. "What do you need to get?"

"You don't need to know everything." I said as I readjusted in my seat.
