Jesse's Girl (COMPLETE)

Chapter 29

* Catherine Continued *

I was so focused on watching the blonde haired girl leave that I hadn't noticed Jesse had walked up and slid into the drivers side seat.

'Princess, you getting in?' he asked calmly but I could tell he was trying to keep his emotions intact.

I just shrugged my shoulders, not trusting my mouth to speak. My head was swirling with so many different questions I couldn't think straight.

Who was she?

How did they know each other?

Did they have a history together?

Why did she have to be so damn stunning?

Was that his girlfriend?

Why was her ass so perfect?

Why was Jesse so obviously mad?

Why the fuck does seeing Jesse with another girl bother me so much?

'Fuck' I groaned as I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples, trying to gather my thoughts.

I almost jumped as I felt Jesse standing in front of me, my mind was such a jumbled mess I once again hadn't noticed that he had moved, that he had climbed out of the car and was now leaning into my body. Jesse had placed both muscular arms on either side of me with his hands pressed firmly onto the hood of the car, caging me in so I had practically no room to move or avenue of escape.

'Princess' Jesse growled, his voice suddenly deep and husky, he was so close to me that his lips grazed my ear as he spoke.

His heated breath along my neck caused goosebumps to rise across my skin and my mind to suddenly still. All of the jealous questions circling through my mind disappeared until all I could think about was him. All I could see, hear and smell was him. In that moment I realised I desperately wanted to feel his lips on mine. To have his strong arms wrap around my body and push me further back against the car... hard.

The fantasy in my head sent a jolt of electricity straight between my legs that was so intense I don't think I would have cared if Jesse took me right here in the middle of the school car park.

'Mmmm' I mumbled as I tried to get my sex crazed hormones back under control and remember exactly what it was that had upset me in the first place.

'Get. In' he growled again.

If Jesse had any idea about the effect he had on me right now he didn't show it. It was strange that for a guy who seemed to be able to read my emotions as clear as day the majority of the time that in this moment he seemed utterly oblivious to the tumultuous storm building within me. Instead he just pulled away and climbed back inside the car without so much as a glance back towards me or saying another word.

Grudgingly I hopped into the car beside him. Noticing his incredibly sullen attitude, my heated desires from only minutes ago all but disappeared and my mind circled back to what I saw at the school gates earlier. With that my jealousy and anger started simmering away again, so I clenched my jaw shut tightly in hopes of keeping my big mouth shut before I said anything I might regret.

I had so many things I wanted to ask Jesse but after he had been so considerate and hadn't even so much as tried to ask me a single question these last four weeks, I knew I needed to return the favour. With how patient and understanding he had been with me and my unwillingness to share too much, if anything at all about my life or my past, the least he deserved from me was to hear him out, to let him explain before I jumped to any conclusions.

I knew I at least owed him that, but I'm not going to lie, it was a damn struggle to sit there and keep my mouth shut.

As Jesse started the car I sat back in the my seat and crossed my arms all the while staring out of the window, willing the deep seated pit of jealously that was still bubbling away in my stomach to disappear. Hell, Jesse and I weren't together, I had no right to be jealous did I? Why shouldn't he be able to see whatever girl he wanted? At the thought of him dating someone else a wave of nausea unexpectedly hit me and I had to close my eyes and take deep breaths just so I didn't end throwing up all through his car.
