James woke to the sun shinning through the window and a heavy weight across his chest. He looked down slightly and smiled when the top of Jessie’s head came into view, she’d been using his chest as a pillow.
He slowly slipped out from under her, trying as hard as possible not to wake her up and only half succeeding, she murmured something sleepily and he smiled again, bent down to kiss her softly on the forehead and to say “I love you too.”
She snuggled back under the covers as he dressed and left the room. He was surprised to find Meowth curried up in the hallway fast asleep, but guessed the cat had decided to give them some time alone. He carefully stepped over the small cat and headed towards the kitchen planning to cook himself and Jess some breakfast.
He walked into the kitchen and was surprised to find a note pinned to the dinning table. He picked it and quickly scanned it: Gone on a picnic, should be back by dark, B & C
James folded the note and stuck it in his back pocket, smiling slightly, he’d never seen either Butch or Cassidy as picnic people and wondered if they’d had another reason for going out.
He opened up the fridge again and pulled out a packet of bacon, and then headed over to the cooker. After putting the bacon under the grill, he headed outside to gather some of the beautiful roses from the rose bushes outside, hoping that the doctor wouldn’t be mad at him for cutting off a few roses.
Once outside he was surprised to find the black and gold pokemon from the other morning sitting in the middle of the lawn watching him. He ignored it and headed over to one of the rose bushes with lovely red roses on it. He cut a couple off and then turned to find that the pokemon was sitting beside him, he looked down at it, shrugged and then hurried over to a white rose bush to get some of them.
After cutting off some of those he hurried back into the house to make sure the bacon wasn’t burning, it wasn’t so he turned it over before turning his attention back to the pokemon. It sat on the doorstep watching him, he kneeled down and clicked his fingers together softly calling the pokemon to him. It watched him for a few minutes whining softly before darting back down the steps and disappearing into the garden. He sighed softly and got back to his feet.
Once the bacon had finished cooking he placed it onto two plates, placed the red and white roses in a vase and placed all three items on a plate. He walked back to their room and went inside. Jessie was awake, sitting on the bed brushing the tangles out of her long red hair. He smiled at the sight, he walked over to the bed, placed the tray on the bed and leaned over kissing Jessie on the cheek.
She looked up at him and grinned. “I cooked breakfast.” He said, pointing to the tray on the bed. She picked up the vase of roses, smelled the flowers and then placed them next to the other vase on the chest of draws before tucking into the bacon. Once they’d finished, Jessie turned to James and asked, “So where’s everybody else?”
“Well Meowth’s outside in the hall asleep and Butch and Cassidy have gone on a picnic.”
“So, we’ve got the house to ourselves then?”
“Yep, I guess so.”
Jessie grinned, “That’s just what I wanted to hear.” she said, snuggling up to James. He wrapped his arms around her, and the two began to kiss again.
Both Jessie and James blushed and James nodded, before asking, “Haven’t Butch and Cassidy come back yet?”
Meowth shook his head, “Nope not yet.”
James frowned the words of the ghost coming back to him, could they be in some sort of danger. Suddenly a scream cut through the night, James jumped to his feet with Jessie close behind. “What the hell was that?” she asked, looking at James in shock.
James frowned, he was sure it had sounded like Cassidy so instead of answering Jessie’s question he turned to her and said, “I want you and Meowth to stay in the house and try and get in touch with the nearest Officer Jenny.”
“What are you going to do?” Jessie asked softly as if she already knew the answer.
“Go and investigate that noise.”
“I was afraid you were going to say that, just be careful OK.”
With that she hugged him and kissed him gently, he kissed her back and said, “Will do, make sure you stay in the house OK.”
She nodded as she watched him leave the room, she scooped Meowth up in her arms and hugged the cat close. “I’m scared.” she whispered softly.
“Me too.” Meowth replied.
She hugged the cat closer as she hurried out of the room in search of a telephone, she just hoped James would be OK.
