"Love Is Strong" by CB157. Jonny and Jessie came back from school. Hadji had gone to Bangalore earlier in the week for about a month; Dr. Quest was at a conference in the company or Race. Jonny and Jessie were alone... -"Jessie... I need some help with my math homework. Can you help me?" Jonny, waiting for an answer, was listening to the unceasable humming that was coming from the other room. He got up and went to the living room. There, he saw Jessie half-naked, (she was wearing a bra and pants), dancing around, listening to her favorite song. Jonny backed up and started babbling: "Um... whoa... sorry... Didn't mean to... uh... oh God..." Jessie smiled at him. "Don't worry, you had to see me like this anyways... I mean, we DO live in the same house." Jonny was still shocked: "Um... yeah..., well... bye!" "No! Don't... I mean, where are you going? Don't you want to stay here and talk to me?" "Um... about what?" "Well..." she said, "I have to tell you something but I never had the courage to..." "Yeah, me too..." "I...I...lo....". Jessie couldn't say it... she was..."SHY". "I lo...ve...y..you". Jonny was proud of himself, he had finally said what he wanted to say to her since they met... But now, he was scared, he didn't know what to do...and worst, he didn't know what Jessie would say to him... The next five minutes were critical. They didn't talk, they just stared at each other for a long time...quietly..., just smiling at each other... "Well...", said Jonny, breaking the silence, "do you want to...go out with me?" "Sure!" replied Jessie... her plan had worked! THE END ~~~CB157~~~ (c) CB157 1998 CB157's JQ Page
