*Pt. Nine*

Jesse rested his head on Ashleys shoulder when Tom started driving- She was mad at him, but she had alot of feelings for him too, he always made it hard for her to be mad at him-
She didn't say anything, just sat there, she wasn't buzzed anymore- He put his hand on her knee, she pushed it off- He tried again, she sighed, pushing it away again- he said,
Aw, come on Ash, don't be like that-" she didn't say anything, "Baby, you were gonna screw lil' 'ol Jeffy, weren't you ?"
"Shut up Jesse." he lifted his head so he could look at her,
"Why would you do that to me darlin' ? You know how I feel about you-" she cut him off,
"Right. That's why you screwed Kammie, AND took her to the Prom, because you care so much about me-" he cleared his throat,
"Darlin', even a faithful, starvin' ol' hound will stray to get a bone-" she stared at him,
"That is such crap Jesse. JEFF doesn't screw other girls-" he laughed,
"Jeff don't do nothin' with ANY girls !" she stared,
"Because he CARES about ME."
"What a guy-"
"Don't you dare make fun of him. If you cared like he does, you'd wait until I was ready-" he narrowed his eyes,
"Well, you were sure ready to fuck him tonight, weren't ya ?"
"That's none of your business. And this isn't going to work forever...Pulling this crap to get your way." he put his head back on her shoulder, picking up her hand, putting his fingers between hers,
"I just couldn't let ya do it darlin', You're supposed to be MY girl, that's how it's always be meant to be." he was getting to her, she leaned her head on his, holding his hand-

Tom asked Jada,
"What's goin' on back there ? She toss him out of the truck yet ?" Jada looked back, laughing softly,
"Nah, they're cuddling up." they both laughed,
"No matter what that boy does, she keeps lettin' him back in." Jada smiled,
"It's the Dupree charm...We all have it, we got it from dear old grand daddy." Tom glanced at her & laughed,
"You're crazy girl !" she smiled,
"And you love it !" he nodded,
"That's the truth. Datin' my best friends sister...TWIN ! You two are somethin' else for sure."

They finally pulled up to the 'shack', what everyone called the cabin Jesse & Jada's grandpa had built so many years ago.
They got Jesse in the house & up stairs. There were two beds in his room, one for him, one for their brother, Danny for when he came to visit for the Summers- (He lived with their Mom in New Orleans)
They got Jesse to his bed, Tom asked,
"Ash, You gonna be alright ?" she nodded, he kissed the top of her head & headed for Jadas room-
Ashley looked at jesse, who was struggling to get his boots off, he looked at her,
"Wanna gimme a hand ?" she hesitated, then went over & pulled his boots off- he grinned, "Help me with my jeans ?" she sighed & went over to the other bed, taking off her shoes- "Ash, don't be mad at me...Come lay next to Me-" she threw her shoe down & layed down on Dannys bed, saying,
"Don't you dare move from that bed. I mean it Jesse, stay there or I'll walk home !" he laughed, laying back on his bed,
"I'd like to see you do that !" she closed her eyes, "Ash, darlin'..."
"What Jesse ?"
"I'll make it up to you-" she looked over, his eyes were closed, she knew he was asleep- She closed her eyes again, confused about how she felt about Jeff & Jesse-
