MS.O'CONNELL, RUTHERFORD

MEETING YOU WAS ALL THE UNKNOWN' Chapter Twelve

show and tell,
kiss merry, kill

His father apologizes to her over the phone call about what happened last night and that they felt sorry for meeting her, in such confrontational way to Jesse.

Jesse was sitting on the table while she make him a coffee and making some toast before going to the English Department.

Billie picked up her phone answering the call. "Billie, who's that?"

"Hello?"

"Hi, honey. How are you?" He said. When she opens up the door seeing his dad. She was too shocked. And doesn't know how to respond in this such unbelievable moment in front of her.

Billie heard his father's voice for the first time. She couldn't believe that they were calling her after hanging out last night with them, asking if she's okay. He has same as Jesse's voice but it is raspy and deep. Completely the opposite. Hence Jesse's was pitchy and kinda falsetto voice...

Real. Crazy. man like what?

Like. How am I supposed to faced two Mr. Rutherford when his father came here and Jesse was here.

She runs to her closet seeing Jesse in the room. Seeing her freaking out while he had no idea that his father went after him.

"Hey, what's going on?" He whispered. "Don't ask, your dad is here." She quietly responded, letting out a sigh. "What! Why?" He asks groggily. "I don't know. Jesse."

But.

"Shh—okay, calm down. Okay?"

"Remember. I got you in this. Babe love you. Okay, let's go" He said, caressing her cheeks. And kisses her forehead.

They both went to see his father, acting like they are so chill but inside were both freaking out in surprised. "Dad?"

"What are you doing here?" He swallowed. "I was behind you. Then I ended up here so I know you are with your girlfriend, cause I know you Jesse." He said coldly.

"Um, Mr. Rutherford. I know Jesse would come here before he'll leave cause he told me that he is driving me to my workplace. So I don't have to commute." She explain politely.

Interrogation shit. What the fuck?

"Okay. But you do you yourselves. So I have to go." He headed out to the door and leave.

"Okay, thank you for checking on us i appreciated it." She nodded.

Then, Rutherford approached her behind leaving a kiss on her neck. "Are you still mad about what happen?" He asks lowly. "Nope. And I guess I wasn't mad last night upon what happen. I know it's my fault and wasn't you." She responded as he faced her catching up with her eyes.

"Sorry— for running away and walking out." She whisper. As he kissed her lips. He shushed her and unbothered keeping his lips. She pushed him inch away from his grip and then smiling at him caressing his hair, her hand roamed around in his shoulder.

"I would mind this if we only wasn't running late." She says, gesturing him again. "Oh, fuck!" He cursed, kissing her once more before running to her door...

Jesse:

*behave.

*love u

English faculty.

Five months later— Billie was everyday in the committee attending each forums. But, there is no days that she's not finding Jesse in the corner chair while listening to other professors. Sinclair asks. "You good, O'Connell?"

"Okay!"

"I'll see you on Monday, then."  Someone says.

Billie slammed the door and walked her way out to the building and then she received a text from her dear friend Robin Hawks...

Robin:

*hey, you working here tonight?. Duh

Of course I am.*

*how's jesse?

He's good. Miss that asshole. He's Berkeley now. It's been five*

*calls and messages?

*yep. bye see you later...

Billie could not imagine that all those things that happen to them, that it so quick it has been five months since that they both got suspended and called out having sex on the stockroom getting caught a security camera that lead for the first offense. A three months suspension. And being the campus top five trending articles that was published on campus newspapers and newsletters.

Jesse going in and out of her apartment and sometimes sleeping with her.  She's involved with him but not just a normal involvement but she was too in love with him...

Time passed— Robin was still and was so confuse with her that since Jesse got involved with Billie, Billie seems to be so quiet, when she knows her wasn't like that.

"Shit—." She said. "Surely, I'd come." She chuckles. "Here. Your payroll." Robin handed her the small envelope and stands in front of her locker.

Billie and Robin were talking stuff when their manager walks in to dry his hand in the hand dryer...

"What's up?" He talks like he was not their manager. "We're good."  They both say.

"Oh that's cool." He told.

"Hey, ladies would like to have dinner tonight, oh well. It's okay if you two didn't want to." He wondered.

"I asked my boyfriend if he can be with us tonight." She said to Robin.

"Seriously?" Robin woahed. "Yes." He responded. "We do. Thank you." Billie speak.

Oh-well, let's go tonight. Okay, leave you two in here ladies. Let's go to work!" He smiled warmly. As he walked outside to Alex.

Robert leave them alone, Billie whistle at Robin looking into her eyes. Until suddenly a question popped into the conversation.

"Doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Billie asks.

"Huh?" "Billie. Girl you've always wonder that thing in your head." Robin says while setting the stove on a mid fire.

"But. Honestly, I don't know, like. Girl calm down you already have Jesse. Now our boss girl don't" robin says offensively.

"Relax. You're being so offensive." Billie chuckles, ignoring her words.

"Oh my god, what if you guys were dating that i don't even know." She teased.

"Nah. I'm not dating him, you know he's the manager here and yes we are friends with each other since before he open this business. You know? And that stops there. Period." Robin explains without turning around.

"Yeah, I was just like that, since Jesse and I gotten into crisis. Ya know?" She giggled.

I really hate Jesse since then. But look what was the outcome of that stupid thing. I guess he falls in love but not me trying to resist that shit. Now. I loved him too cause just i thought he's was just like the other guys that i've been with, well i was wrong hence, he's so fucking different from them. To the fact that yeah maybe he smokes and drinks but that was him, i fully understand that. Of course i was ten years younger than him and he is ten years older than me, that's why he was much allowed to and can do it without and any permission seeking from other's like me. But I'm pretty and I got Jesse to love me. Yeah you heard it. I think Jesse loves me and I learned to accept the fact that we have each other now.

"See you tonight!" She yelled slamming the backdoor.

"Okay. Be careful walking to the bus stop."
Robin answers.
