Disclaimer: no $, me no = ) Middle of Nowhere (Part II) Under the scorching sun, Jonny and Jessie leaned up against the oppsties sides of the raft. Jonny's legs were still outstretched and Jessie's legs were getting tired of being bent, so she put her legs out too, they ended up right up against Jonny's. That's where it all started. Jonny noticed her legs and decided * Hey this could get interesting*, He moved his leg slightly. Jessie saw this as a challenge. She kicked off her shoes and moved her foot and started rubbing it against Jonny's leg. Jonny kicked off his sneakers too, they started kicking each other and then they started to wrestle. Jonny ended up on top of Jessie, pinning her to the floor of the raft. She smiled shyly up at him, he blushed. Then she lifted her head up and quickly pecked him on the cheek. He blushed even more, and thought about getting off of her, but instead kissed her, a little bigger then the one she gave him. Jessie lifted her head to his, and they kissed. "SSSssssss....." Jessie pulled herself away from Jonny and literally threw him off of her. "WHA??!!?? Why'd you do that???" He didn't hear the sound. "Jonny! Your knife!! The raft!! Hurry!!!" While he was on top of her kissing her, he must have kicked his knife and it popped open. Jonny scrambled over and grabbed the Questraft repair kit, and patched up the hole. The sun was starting to set and Jonny was leaning up against 'his' side of the raft, he had his eyes closed, and looked like he was going to fall asleep. They hadn't spoken since the accident. Suddenly he felt Jessie curling up beside him, resting her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and she fell asleep instantly. Jonny stayed awake for hours, not able to fall asleep. His heart was beating so fast, he thought it would wake her up. he finally did fall asleep, and when he woke, they were on a shore of an island. They could see just down the beach, that the Questor 2 was docked there. He saw the men who had hijacked their boat go into an old warehouse, so he decided to wake Jessie up. They got out of the raft, and ran over to the Questor 2 and climbed aboard. Everything was strewn about but surprisingly none of the computer equipment was damaged or missing. they quickly got it started and left the island. They could see the men off in the distance jumping up and down on the dock and yelling at them, but they got quickly away. They turned on the radar o try and locate the others. It took about 4 hours to get to the island, and when they did arrive they were greeted by the rest of the Quest Team. They were already late arriving and their family and friends had been very worried. "What the hell happened to you two??" Race blurted out, refering to them being late and why they had cut off jeans ans no shirts on. They couldn't get changed because, the hijackers apparently only wanted their clothes and personal belonging, so they had no clothes to change into. "Well, it's kind of a long story." Jonny started "First, we were on oour way here, and then about 6 men..." Jessie picked up. ""...hijacked the Questor 2 and sent us out in the middle..." Jonny continued. "...of nowhere on a QuestRaft, then it got really hot..."Jessie interrupted and continued. "...so we took off our shitrs and got them wet so we wouldn't..." Jonny said. "...get sun-stroke, and we also cut our jeans to keep cool..." Jessie continued. "..then we found our boat, but all our clothes were gone..." "...so we couldn't get changed..." they both finished. "Well we're just happy that you're alright. Now Hadji, you wouldn't mind if Jonny and Jessie both borrow a t-shirt, would you?" Dr. Quest asked. "Of course not, I will go get two right now." Hdji replied and turned and jogged up to the beach house. He came back in 5-minutes with two clean t-shirts. They all headed up towards the beach house, Jonny and Jessiewalked behind the others. When they went inside the house, Race, Hadji, Dr. Quest and Jonny sat down at the table and started working. Jessie on the other hand kept standing and while she thought no one could see her, she snuck outside. But she didn't know that Jonny saw her. Everyone else was too into their work to notice Jonny get up and follow her. *** Jessie was head ed down to the board walk that lead to the beach. Jonny quietly ran to catch up with her. He snuck up behind her, "Do you mind if I walk with you?" and he casually wrapped his arm around her waist. "No I don't mind. I was hoping you would come out here." She put her arm carefully around his waist and placed her hand inside his back pocket of his shorts. Then she pinched him. "Whoa, Jess!" Jonny exclaimed, and his head spun around to face Jessie. A sly smile spread across her face. "What? Don't you like it?" She teased. "Um..well...um..sort of.. well... yah.. but still.." They started walking, and Jonny put his hand in her back pocket too. "Hey Jess. What would you do if I kissed you right now?" Jonny asked. "I don't know, maybe kiss you back. Why don't you maybe we coud find out." Jonny moved in closer to Jessie. This was a side of her he'd never seen before. He pulled her into a kiss. First they kissed softly, but then Jessie opened her mouth, and so Jonny did too. They were really getting into it. Then suddenly a bright light shone on them from the beach house. It was Race. They kept kissing until Race was right behind them. They didn't even notice him. "Excuse me, I don't want to interrupt. But, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?!?!?" They pulled themselves apart and both of them turned a bright red. Race tried to pull Jessie away from Jonny but she resisted. Jonny steps back a few steps."You ain't goin' nowhere boy!" Race yelled. Jonny steps foward a little. "DAD! I'm 17! I'm old enough to do what I want!" "Jessica Marie Bannon!" Jessie gave her father a look, that would make a knife to the heart less painful. "I..I..I guess, that I should trust you a little more to make your own choices...and that I should let you have a little more privacy, so I better get going back to the beach house..."but I don't want you to do anything stupid. Got it?" He turned and headed back to the house. "I know dad. I love you." Jessie called out to him. After he was gone, she turned to Jonny. "Hey want to go swimming?" "Swimming? But your dad...and I don't have a....OH! Ok, I get yah. well not here though...everyone can see us down here...Jessie??? OH GOD Jessie!! NO!! Not here!!!" Jonny screamed, chasing after Jessie while ran towards the water, throwing her clothes on the sand. "Come on in Jonny!! It's nice out here!" Jonny looked around, then back to Jessie in the water. "Hey...Why not?" he said to himself. He tore off his clothes and threw them down next to Jessie's and ran itno the water. THE END!! Hate it? Love it? Find it somewhat okay?
