Code of Silence || chapter 3 || Reunion
by Jewls13 and Taylor
The three of them entered the apartment. Jess showed them around, pointing out the wall Luke had knocked down. Throughout this time, Jess and Bree shot furtitive glances at each other.
Dom looked at the two of them and said, "I'd be tactful and say I was going to go put my bag down in the room, but I have no tact, I'm just leaving so I don't have to watch you two rehash old dramas." Jess pointed him towards the room he should put his stuff in, and Dom waltzed through the doorway.
Jess looked and Bree and took her hand. She avoided his gaze.
"Bree, I�" Jess began.
She turned to look him in the eye. Suddenly Jess couldn't speak. He couldn't find the words. She held his gaze for a few seconds that seemed to last for days, before Jess dropped his head with a sigh. They stood there in silence. There was so much to say, but neither knew how to find the right words. Bree took a step towards Jess and leaned her forehead against his. Both their eyes closed, they stood there, each feeling the others breath on their lips
"All right, all right, that's enough now," Dom said as he reentered the room. "This isn't Days of Our Lives, cause if it was, Jess would be possessed, Bree would have an evil twin and someone would be cursing the Dimera's."
Jess and Bree broke apart, laughing.
"Besides, I'm all alone over here, and that's just not right" Dom pouted
"Aww, poor baby. Come here." Bree giggled
Dom walked over and Bree gave him a quick kiss on the lips
"Now, that's better." Dom said grinning.
Bree walked over to the couch. Jess started to follow her, but Dom stopped him for a second
"You know if I didn't love you so much I'd kick your ass, right?" Dom whispered casually
"Yeah I know."
"Just so we're clear."
Jess sat down next to Bree on the couch, and she swung her legs over his lap. He placed a hand on her bare knee, giving it a squeeze.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked her.
She let out a short burst of air in frustration, the hair in her eyes blowing a few inches away from her face.
"I'm FINE." She said.
"I've been taking good care of her man," Dom said seriously, sitting down on the other side of Bree, who leaned back and rested her head in his lap, her hair splaying over legs and contrasting with his dark jeans.
"So you haven't had any more problems?" Jess pushed, refusing to drop the topic.
"Can we talk about something else now?" Bree asked, stretching her arms over her head, her shirt riding up a little and showing the underside of her breasts.
"Okay, if you're sure." Jess conceded.
"I'm very sure," She said, closing her eyes. "But very sleepy."
Jess moved her legs and laid them back down on the couch.
"You two can just sleep here," He said, and Dom promptly closed his eyes, lolled his head, and began to snore.
"Funny," Jess snorted. He walked towards the door, and when he reached it he stole a last glance at the pair. Dom had stretched out on the couch behind Bree, one hand slung casually across her. She was curled up in a ball, her hair falling across her face.
Jess watched this, a grin stretching on his face. "I've missed you guys." He sighed quietly to himself.
"Yeah I know, I'm a god, come worship me." Dome called out from behind the couch.
Jess rolled his eyes and walked out the door.
"All hail King Dom!"
Downstairs, Rory had gone to Lane's house to inform her of the new arrivals in town. Lorelai had sensed the uneasiness her daughter felt, but decided she'd bombard her later that day.
Luke, however, was fair game.
"So whatcha gonna do?" Lorelai taunted him, trailing around after him like a puppy dog.
"Nothing."
"Come on! You have to ask him"
"No I don't"
"Luuuuke, But I wanna know. You wanna know. Miss Patty wants to know, Taylor wants to know--"
"It's his life, it's his business!"
"Okay." Lorelai said, and then kept following him. "She's going to be staying in your apartment. Are they allowed to be in the same bed? How about that Dom kid? What if-"
Luke sighed, and just then Jess came back into the diner, a goofy grin on his face.
"You look happy," Luke said.
Jess nodded joyfully, and started to work.
