I Will Wait [Jessie J]

Chapter 79 - 18th November 2013 - I'm Yours

*Emma's pov*

It's been two weeks since the Cardiff date of Alive. Obviously, there was a little trouble from the press but it wasn't too much. The good thing is Jess and I are back to how we were, with even more flirting, especially on my behalf. Danny has been a little better too. He's been happier and he's been spending more time with us.

I messaged Holly about how she looked ill. She passed it off with a stomach bug. I don't think she was telling the truth though. I was very cautious as we're still not exactly best friends after what happened to Jess. I often find her watching me. Probably making sure I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm actually finding it quite annoying... But I can't hate all of Jessie's friends. Well I only hate one of them... Alisha is becoming more and more bitchy towards me. Whenever she's around she is literally shoving me out of the picture. I get on with the rest of the band just fine.

Claude Kelly has come over from America. Jess contacted him about her brand new studio and the fact that she wants start writing her third album. He jumped at the chance, especially when he found about the "amazing new songwriter" Jessie has found, i.e. Me. They were Jessie's words not mine.

I told Claude I was interested in the production of music and he taught me how to use all of the different buttons and when to use them. We spent the rest of the morning brain storming lyrics and putting some music behind them. Jess wrote this song called "You Don't Really Know Me" not long after her accident. "But of course it's a load of bullshit now really." Jess spoke looking in my direction. "I mean one of the lines is 'All she wants is a man.' And I REALLY don't." She added emphasis on the 'really' and winked at me. I blushed and giggled. The rest of it is true though. She is stressed. She prefers to stay on and watch a movie than going out and partying. And she definitely loves to be bad.

Claude called a lunch break at two o'clock and Jess made us a selection of sandwiches and brought out the delicious cupcakes she'd made without me knowing. They were absolutely divine.

"Jess did you say you wanted to cover I'm Yours?" Danny asked after lunch.

"Errrm yeah." Jess almost blushed. "I haven't really used the equipment much yet. And Em... I was wondering if you would duet with me?" Jess looked down and chewed her lip. She's so cute sometimes.

"Of course!" I smiled at Jess.

"Cool." She seemed so nervous all of a sudden.

Danny recorded the guitar part as Jess and I divided up the song and decided which parts to harmonise on. Jess and I walked into the booth and stood side by side as there was only one microphone. I started the song off on my own;

"You touched these tired eyes of mine,

And mapped my face out line by line,

And somehow growing old feels fine.

I listen close for I'm not smart,

You wrap your thoughts in works of art

And they're hanging on the walls of my heart."

Jess sang the chorus and verse two;

"I may not have the softest touch,

I may not say the words as such,

And though I may not look like much,

But I'm yours.

And though my edges may be rough,

I never feel I'm quite enough,

It may not seem like very much,

But I'm yours.

You healed these scars over time," I head Jess' voice shake as she sang. I turned to face her to see her already looking at me.

"Embraced my soul, you loved my mind.

You're the only angel in my mind.

The day news came my best friend died," Jess' first tear was released as she sang this line. I wiped it away along with the next one, and the one after that.

"My knees went weak and you saw me cry,

You say I'm still the soldier in your eyes." Jess finished and I wiped away her tears before singing the next chorus;

"I may not have the softest touch,

I may not say the words as such,

And though I may not look like much,

But I'm yours.

And though my edges may be rough,

I never feel I'm quite enough,

It may not seem like very much,

But I'm yours."

As the guitar solo played I pulled Jessie in for a hug. I rubbed her back as she silently cried into my shoulder. I pulled away as the solo came to the end. Jess held onto my waist and I draped my arms over her shoulders as we sang the last chorus in harmony and slightly slower;

"I may not have the softest touch,

I may not say the words as such,

I know I don't fit in that much,

But I'm yours."

There was what felt like hours of comfortable silence as I got lost in Jess' gorgeous green eyes. I hadn't noticed the fact that we had been inching closer until I felt Jess' hot breath on my lips. I broke eye contact to glance down to Jess' pink lips. The tip of her tongue made an appearance as she licked her lips. My eyes flickered between Jess' eyes and lips before I cupped her cheek in my hand, closed my eyes and the gap between us. It felt like there was fire burning through me as our lips moved in sync. All the feelings I've had for Jess over the last few months finally being washed over us, and receiving all those emotions back from Jess is the best feeling in the world.
