CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: "Jessie & Jamie"
-'Baby, wake up,' I whisper into Jessica's ear as I give her a squeeze. I kiss her lips and unwrap my arms from their previous position, wrapped around her waist. -'I don't want to,' is her sleepy reply as her hand searches for mine. -'Yes you do. Can't you remember what day it is?' -'Friday?' -'Very good cupcake. And what does that mean?' She opens her eyes and sits upright, staring at me with her mouth ajar. -'Is today... THE day?' I nod at her and grin as her face breaks out into a big, childish smile. -'I still can't believe he invited us,' she says as she swings her legs over the bed. -'I can. You're an amazing cook cupcake, we both know that.' Jess rolls her eyes and lets out a giggle. -'I'm not THAT good.' -'Apparently you are, because guess who invited you to cook with him?' She grins and gets up from the bed. -'Now what about this. The kitchen princess makes the food and the queen takes a shower.' -'Depends on who the kitchen princess is.' -'I am, obviously,' she says and gives me a playful wink.
-'Jamie, I haven't seen you in ages, how are you?' I ask him as I embrace him in a hug. -'I'm doing really good gorgeous, how are you? Ah, you must be Jessica, nice to meet you.' Jamie lets go off me and gives Jess a hug. -'Really good to see you got my message,' he laughs, and points at our pyjamas. -'Of course we did, but where are yours?' -'In my dressing room, I've got to film some other stuff too, today. I'm going to pull them on, I'll see you in five,' is his reply and Jamie's off to his dressing room. -'Right, and what are we supposed to do now?' I ask, and Jessica smirks as she wraps her arms around my waist to bring me closer to her. -'I could think of a thing or two.' -'Like what?' She brings her face closer and our lips engage in a tender, yet passionate, kiss.
-'Okay, so first thing you wanna do is just take some of this chocolate, about this much, and melt it au bain marie.' Jamie puts the chocolate in the bowl and looks up, into the camera. -'And then, Emeli, add the eggs to Jessie's batter. Like that, yeah.' I grin as I crack the second egg into the bowl. -'And now that's all done, you add the melted chocolate and then our cupcakes can go straight into the oven.' I laugh and place the cupcakes in the oven. -'180 degrees, for a good twenty minutes. And now, I have the perfect recipe for this gorgeous icing. Jessie, hand over the spatula please?' Jess giggles and drums with the spatula on the counter. I snatch it out of her hands and hand it over to Jamie, who laughs and pokes the stuff in the bowl in front of him.
Jess pulls herself up to sit on the counter and picks up a spoon with some chocolate-leftovers on it. -'Can I eat this?' she asks. Jamie looks up for a split second, nods, and then continues with the stuff in the bowl. Jess bites her lip as she glides her fingers over the spoon, picking up as much chocolate as possible. She sticks her finger into her mouth and winks sexually at me as she sucks. -'Jess, you're a cook, not a stripper,' I say. -'Why am I stripper? Because I eat chocolate?' -'Basically, yeah.' -'That doesn't make any sense at all, sweetie.' -'It doesn't have to.' -'It does have to, otherwise it-' -'And then you add some cacoa, and look ?at that gorgeous colour,' interrupts Jamie. -'That is a gorgeous colour,' I confirm, my mouth watering at the delicious stuff.
-'How are our cupcakes doing?' -'They're gonna need about fifteen seconds,' says Jess excitedly, staring at the cupcakes through the window of the oven. -'10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...' She cheers and claps her hand as the timer goes off. Jess picks up the oven glove and carefully takes out the cupcakes. -'Gorgeous,' says Jamie, 'You can place them here. Ooh, smell that? Delicious.' -'I can't wait to eat them.' Jess giggles and wraps her arms around my waist, meanwhile giving my cheek a soft kiss.
-'And now just the tasting, oh, it really does look gorgeous,' says Jamie. -'It's a pity it's food and we have to eat it,' I comment, slightly sarcastic. -'Yeah, it is kind of... well then. Here you go, Em, Jamie.' I grab the cupcake Jess hands me and smile at our lovely creation, topped off with an Oreo cookie. -'The Oreo reminds me of a song,' I say, looking at Jess and winking at her, but she doesn't get it. -'Really? Is there a song with something about Oreos?' -'There is. It's an old one though, but I think you might know it.' -'What's it called?' she asks, as she stops peeling off the wrapper around the cupcake. -'Sweetest Thing.' -'It sounds familiar.' -'Probably because it's your song cupcake.' Jess giggles and blushes furiously as she brings the cupcake closer to her mouth. -'Ready?'
-'Jess, what is your favourite dish?' -'I don't do favourites.' -'Are you sure?' -'Pretty damn sure,' replies Jess. -'Right then. Jamie, what's your favourite dish? We need to cook another thing.' -'Wait, you were going to let me decide what we were going to cook?' she turns me around so I'm standing between her legs. -'Of course cupcake.' -'I like cupcakes.' -'I like you. Wait, no, I love you.' Jessica grins and she gives my lips a quick peck. -'Guess what sweetie?' -'What?' -'I love you too. Like a lot.' -'Good.' I kiss her lips and feel her wrap her arms around my neck, bringing our faces closer as she deepens the kiss. My hands find their way to her waist and tickle her softly, making her giggle and she breaks the kiss.
-'You and Jamie should start a cooking programme. I could watch you cook all day,' I comment, making Jess rip her eyes off of Gordon Ramsay's face shown on the telly. -'Do you mean that?' -'Yeah! It's really hot when you boss me around in the kitchen.' Jess giggles and turns so she's lying on top of me, carrying the weight if her body on her elbows. -'I love you,' she says, as she kisses my lips. I sit up and Jess wraps her legs around my waist, not breaking the kiss; instead, she deepens it by slipping her tongue into my mouth. Just as it gets hotter, the doorbell rings, and Jess looks at me confused. I shrug. -'I don't know who it is, I didn't invite anyone over.'
I follow Jessica to the door and she places her hand on the handle. I hold my breath as she pulls the door open, revealing a psycho killer holding a gun.
Just kidding, it's just Holly. In her PJ's though. -'Holly,' says Jessica, 'what are you doing here and why are you in your PJ's?' Holly just shakes her head and silent tears roll down her cheeks. -'Holly?' I grab her arm and drag her inside, to the sofa, where she bursts out in tears. -'He... He's in hospital... We were watching a film, and he got up to get a drink and he just... collapsed. I can visit him tomorrow from six to ten.' -'Jeeze, Holls... Are you okay? I hope you didn't do anything stupid?' -'What could I possibly do what's stupider than going to my best friend's house in my PJ'S!?' -'You could knock on a random person's door?' I comment, making Jess nudge me hard in the ribs. -'Not helping Em,' she says through gritted teeth.
I wrap an arm around Holly as the two of us enter the hospital (Jess has some interview and promo for her new single to do) and lead her to the desk. -'Dorian,' I say, 'Christopher.' -'He's in room 307. Good luck ma'am, I think what you find behind that door might be a shock.' Holly whimpers and I lead her to the lifts.
Standing in front of the door, Holly turns around and buries her face in her hands. -'I'm not sure if I can do this.' -'You have to. I know this is very hard but you have to face it, it might be less bad, you know? You won't know until you try, right?' Her lips curl into a smile for a second, but soon she's reminded of the door and her lips hang down again.
We open the door and step into the room, Chris is sitting upright in bed laughing at something being shown on the telly. -'Chris?' says Holly, making her way to her husband. He smiles and wraps his arms tightly around her. -'I've been so worried,' mumbles Holly. -'Getting a coffee,' I mime at Chris, who's looking over Holly's shoulder at me.
