Chapter 24: It's Time To Say Some Things We Haven't Said

Jesse woke up on the 25th of the November when he felt little arms on his back. He turned and faced his 'little monster' as he was calling Romeo. "Jesse wake up! Mommy said we'll leave in 2 hours!" Romeo informed him. "Okay, Romy! I'll be down in a few!" Jesse answered and Romeo nobbed.

He pulled out the covers and got up from the bed. A few minutes later he was dressed and ready to say goodbye to the rest of his family. As he was walking down the stairs he notised lots of suitaces on the end of the stairs.

He entered the kitchen and found all his family there. "Do you guys moving to UK?" he asked. "Good morning Jesse! And no, we're not moving to the UK! We're just ready for every occasion!" Dorothea said. "But only your and Steph's suitaces will filled all the plane!" Jesse teased his sister and she answered "Smartass!" "You still have time to change your mind Jess! You'll miss Taylor Swift singing!" Jon said and took a sip of his coffee. "Taylor Swift will be there too?" Jacob asked and rolled his eyes. "Yeah!" Stephanie said and nobbed. "That's awesome!" Jacob yelled and continue his chatt with Romeo.

The Bongiovi's were ready to leave for the airport. The car which will take them to the airport was outside waiting for them. "So, Jesse James rule number one: you will not call all the New Jersey in the house like the previous time. Rule number two: before you go to bed you'll check if all the doors are locked and you'll put the alarm on." Dorothea was saying to Jesse in the door step.

Jon hear his wife and said "You will not drink water! You will not eat food! And you will call us for every step that you take!" he joked. "Jon this is not joke time!" Dorothea answered to her husband. "Oh Dot he's a man! He'll do things that we will never know the days we'll be in the UK! Come on, let's to the car the boys are waiting!" "Okay! Goodbye Jesse! I'll call you when we're landed!" Dorothea said and hugged her son. "Ok, Mum i'll wait!" Jesse answered and saw his mother walking away.

"Hey, young man be carefull with Pauline these days!" Jon said. Jesse rolled his eyes. "How do you know?" "Jess, i'm not stupid! And i didn't want to say that in front of your mother! Be carefull and you know what i mean i don't want to be a grandfather when i'll come back!" Jon explained. Jesse nobbed. "If you run out of money you know where you'll find some! And one last advise.... enjoy this opportunity and make her feel special and unique, okay?" Jon asked and Jesse nobbed again. "Good! Now, i'm going before your mother will kill me!" Jon said and said goodbye to his son and left.

Jesse closed the door and watched his father walking away. "How the hell he knew that Pauline will come here?" he asked himself. It was a little weird but he didn't have much time to think about that. He has other things to take care first.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pauline walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. She saw her mother checking the list. "Ready to go guys?" she asked. "Yes, we're ready! We're leaving in a few minutes!" "Great! I'll drive you to the airport. There is no need in taking a cab!" "Sure! Go help your Dad to take the suitaces!" Katerina ordered her daughter and left.

One hour later Pauline and her family were at the airport. Their flight to Los Angeles has already annonced. It was time to go. "It's time go, sweetie! I'll call you when we're landed!" Katerina said and hugged Pauline. "Okay, i'll wait!" "I left a list on the kitchen with the things you must do, don't forget them!" "Ok, Mum! I will not!" Pauline answered and smiled.

She said a quick goodbye to her father and sister. She saw them walking away. It was a strange feeling and she never felt this before.

Without loosing any time she walked to the parking. Once she's inside the car she called Jesse. "Hey, babe! They're on the airplane now. I'll go home to take my staff and drive back to your house okay?" she said when Jesse picked up the phone. "Okay! I'll wait. Call me when you're here to open the gate." "I will! Do you need anything before i come there?" she asked him. "No, we have everythinng we need here!" "Okay, see you in a few! Love ya..." she said and hung up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pauline opened the door of her house. It was so empty and it will be empty for the next two days. It was hard to believe that she'll spend these 2 days with Jesse. She went to her room and grabed the bag she had made. She didn't packed lots of clothes, just what she'll need. She ckecked it one more time and left the room.

She arrived at the kitchen and saw the list her mother had left.

Pauline,

The fridge is full with everything you'll need these 2 days that we'll be away. Don't forget to clean up the kitchen when you cook and wash the dishes. Do some laundry if you want! Call us if you need anything.

PS- Don't do anything with Jesse if you're not ready for it! I'm sure he'll understand and he wants YOU to be ready for it! Be careful

Love,
Mum.

Pauline's eyes rolled as she read the PS. "How the hell she knew that i'll go to Jesse's?" she asked herself. She was suprised from her mother's letter. She didn't do staff like that.

She ckecked one more if she has with her everything she'll need and she locked the front door. She placed the bag next to her on the front seat and put on the engine. 

She arrived at the Bongiovi house a few minutes later. She called Jesse and the doors opened. She drove in and parked the car next to Jesse's. She took the bags with her and walked to the front door.

Jesse was there waiting for her with a big smile on his face. His arms opened and closed with Pauline inside them. He kissed her and said "I missed you!" "I missed you too....." she answered and kissed him back. "Come in..." he said and put his arm around her waist.

"Welcome home, babe!" he said and closed the door. "I've been there before!" "I know that smartass but this one is different! What's in the bag?" he asked. "Oh, i bought you a present from LA!" Pauline answered. "Really?" he asked and Pauline nobbed. "I bought a present for you too! Give me your bag and i'll be down in a second!" Jesse offered and took her bag.

Pauline saw him runned on the stairs on the top speed. She smiled as she thought What kind of present? This guy has always a suprise on his sleeve! 

Jesse found the girl he loved the most stiing on the couch. He walked and sut next to her. "I was in the town with a friend and we saw a shop that made staff like that and i have an idea! I know, at the first sight will look silly but this will be a way to be with you when i'm not!" he start and gave to Pauline a little box. "What is it?" "Come on opened it!" he said and she did what he asked.

Pauline opened the little box. With what Jesse said before it was a little difficult to understand what the present will be. Inside the box was an i-phone case. Pauline's eyes rolled as she got it in her hands. She turned it and saw the most beautiful cover she've ever seen. It was picture of her and Jesse. She couldn't remember when Jesse took it but one thing was obvious.... they were both happy and smiling. The picture was black and white and mached perfectly with the red letters that they are written. Pauline & Jesse 13.10.2012- 

She've lost her words. Whatever she could say wasn't enough to express him her feelings. "It's beautiful! Thank you!" she answered. "What about mine now?" Jesse asked like the 5 year old on the candy shop. "Well, mine is a lot different! We were walking with Ava and i saw this shop and boom..... idea!" she joked.

Pauline gave to Jesse the little bag she was carring. Jesse opened it and pulled out a t-shirt. He suprised. He opened the t-shirt and read what was saying Keep calm and love a setter. The t-shirt has his favourite colour blue and the letter were white. She looked up to Pauline and saw her unzipping her jacket and he read again. Keep calm and love a cornerback. He smiled and said "Thank you Paul! Is perfect!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Babe, what do you want to eat for dinner?" Jesse asked a few hours ago. He was still trying to understand that Pauline is right here with him. And she'll be for the next 2 days. "You know i eat everything!" "You're not helping me....." "Okay, what about some pasta? I'm dying to taste the Bongiovi sause!" "That sounds good!" Jesse answered. "Cooking time!" Pauline said and got up from the couch. "What you think you're doing?" "I'm going to cook dinner....." Pauline answered. "You? Cooking?" Jesse teased her. He knew that Pauline doesn't like cooking at all.

"You know i can be Gordon Ramsay in the female edition if i want! So, you'll stay here and relax! I'll do the cooking....." "Alright Gordon Ramsay! I'll be here if you need me!" Jesse answered. Pauline left for the kitchen. Jesse was sitting there in the living room doing nothing. 

To his mind came his father's words. Make her feel special and unique "Special and unique huh? I can do that!" he said to himself and got up. He had an idea.

Moments later Jesse walked in the kitchen of his house. The smell of pasta was all over the air. He saw his Greek godness in front of the stove. He walked beside her and put his arms around her waist. He kissed her favourite spot. "What my Gordon is doing?" "I don't know what Gordon does right now but i finished the sause! And i can say i'm very proud of it!" "If it is as good as it smells you have a new talent!" Jesse answered and kissed her spot again.

His breath was hot and Pauline couldn't resiste that. "You better stop it if you want to eat....." she said. "Okay.... But just for now!" he answered and left her alone to cook.

A few minutes later Pauline placed on the table the pitcher full of water. Looking around the table everything was perfect. Claping her hands she left the kitchen and went to call Jesse. "Hey, babe dinner is ready!" she told him. "I can't wait to taste what you made...." he answered as they both walked to the kitchen.

They sut on the chairs facing each other. Jesse tok the pitcher and poured them some water. He raised his glass and said "To us!" "To us!" Pauline answered and took a sip. Jesse took the fork on his hands and took a bite from the pasta. His eyes rolled. "Mmm! Paul that's delicious! You really didn't call anyone to cook for you?" Pauline smiled. She always loved his comments. "No, silly i didn't! I cooked it myself and is really good! I'm impressed!" she answered.

The next moments passed into silence. Their plates were almost clear when Pauline cleared her throat. "Jesse?" she asked. "What?" "Do you remember one day you asked me a question about the accident and i couldn't answer it?" she asked him. Jesse raised his eyebrow. "Yeah, you said you'll told me when you're ready!" "I am ready! Can you go somewhere else and talk?" Pauline asked him. "Sure! I bet you want to go to the bench next to the river?" Jesse asked and Pauline nobbed.

After taking their jackets they walked to the bench. Pauline was ready for that moment. And she was suprised that Jesse didn't ask anything earlier. But now is the best time to say some things they haven't said.

They both sut in the bench and watched the river for a few seconds. "How you learn that i was lying to you?" he asked and looked at her. It was hard for him to ask this question. It was the bigest mistake he've ever made and he's paying that.

Pauline cleared her throat. She must tell him the truth. "I was in a shop with Ava when i got a call from an unknown number. I picked it up and someone told that you're not i think you are. The voise told me to go to the park opposite from the Red Bank high-scool and i went. There i found Jennifer!" "Jennifer was behind all this?" Jesse asked upset. "Yes, but this is only the begging! Anyway, she gave me the pictures i threw at you that day!" she explained to him.

"I knew that little bitch was behind all these!" Jesse almost yelled. "I couldn't belive it either!" "But how i went to the hospital? I can't remember that day at all!" Jesse asked the question was on his mind from the first day he woke up.

Pauline froze a little. It was hard for her to say that he went to the hospital because of her being stupid. She singed. "A few days later i went for a run! And i and Zack went for a coffee. You were too watching us behind from a tree...." she stopped. How could she tell him that Zack kissed her. She knew that he'll get very mad and that was a thing that she wanted to avoid. But she can't.

Taking a deep breath she answered "He kissed me and you saw us. Then you left!" "He did what? that little bastard kissed you? I'm gonna kick his ass right now!" Jesse said furious and got up. Pauline touched his arm. "No, Jesse! There is nothing bewtween me and Zack!" Pauline told him looking in the eyes. "How do i know that Pauline? What if he is lying to you?" "Zack is not tha kind of person! And i don't care if he still loves me or not!" she singed. "When you woke up we met and i made clear to him that i see him as a friend!" "Oh, but i still don't trust him!" Jesse said more calmy now.

"Are you finished?" he asked when he sut down. "No, i want to say and something else and i want your opinion on that!" "Go ahead!" "The first day i released from the hospital i wanted to see you so bad. So, i saw you and fall asleep holding your hand." she stopped when she saw that Jesse smiled and blushed, she smiled too "but, the funniest part is that your father found me there the next morning! I was so imparased, i went to the bathroom and sut there for the next 30 minutes!" "You were imparased because my Dad found you in my room?" Jesse asked with raised his eyebrow.

"A little! I still can't used to them when they are around!" Pauline admited. "What why do you want my opinion for that?" "Not, for that! The same day Jennifer came...." When jesse heard Jennifer's name he lifted his head. "She didn't do anything to you, didn't see?" he asked with lots of consern on his voise. "No, she didn't! She just said she'll send me to the grave and if this make her not to see the light of the sun again! She'll destroy me! Was the words she used, do you think she will?" she asked a little worried now.

She never told anyone about that. But Jennifer has something that was scaring the hell out of Pauline. She stole her boyftiend without knowing it. She was really afraid of her but she didn't want to admit it.

"No, babe! She will not! I can promise you that!" Jesse answered and took her in his arms. he was trying to believe what he just said. He knew what kind of person Jennifer is. Jesse knew that Jennifer is blind from wickedness and she's able for everything. But he couldn't say a thing like that to Pauline. he hated when he was lying to her but there's nothing else he can do.

"Come on, babe is getting cold outside! Let's go in the house!" he said and got up from the bench. he held out his hand and Pauline took it. They walked back in the house hand-in-hand.

  1. Lol, funny how Jon and Pauline's mom both gave their kids the "be safe" speech. I'm glad Pauline told Jesse about Jennifer's threat. That girl is nothing but trouble.
