Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you, and all you know and how you speak. Countless lovers under cover of the street. Landon hated talking about his own issues, especially money, with anyone let alone Jesse. Their relationship was still young and he was trying to cultivate it. Tossing such things as your money woes into the mix didn’t help things at all. Eventually, if they got more serious, things like that would need to be discussed. Right now he did just fine on his own. He saved a little money here and there when he could. Some of it now to be used when the two went out. Landon was still a gentleman and preferred to pay where he could. They may not do the most extravagant things but they usually enjoyed themselves. He chuckled. ”Well I could still pick you up. I could just take the longest path which would make you wait. Or I could even drive the car around the parking lot a few times so make it seem like I drove a distance. But some people might think it’s sketchy, like I’m casing the joint.” Landon really couldn’t help that one. In the state of Maine, especially in Hope Harbor, the amount of colored people was extremely low. He wasn’t being rude or thought bad of the people in the town, just it wasn’t that diverse. When you got to some bigger towns and the cities then that was a whole different ball game. Both brows wiggled suggestively as he spoke. ”And if I don’t stay the night. Will you punish me?” He stuck part of his tongue out as he laughed. He loved to tease her like this in public because he knew she got all riled up. Still, he kept a careful eye out in case her family came out. That’d be terrible if they heard Landon making such jokes with their daughter. His own as well but they knew he had his uncle’s sense of humor which was very wide spread. ”You’ve only met my parents and sister, though. Maybe this summer you could come with me to visit? It’d be good to get away from the shop and just relax. We’ll go to the beach, swim in warm waters, not this freezing Maine ones and have a barbeque with my family. It could be fun.” Landon wished her parents would be more receptive of him. He’d really like for them to meet his own, if anything just for respect purposes. That seemed like overreaching his dreams, though. Landon shook his head solemnly. ”Nah I think the first visit should be something I do alone. It has to be hard enough on her and if she wants a relationship I don’t want to overload her with information. We need to find out footing.” He was terrified if he threw too much information her way then she’d instantly back off. They planned to meet at a restaurant for the first time to feel one another out. Hopefully after that they’d continue do well. Landon tilted his head as he looked at Jesse, confusion on his face. ”You thought what?” When she snapped at him he was surprised. Landon dropped his arm and straightened his back as he gazed at her. ”Jesse what are you upset about? I just said it’s possible. You also knew it was possible I’d move back near my parents. Why are you getting so pissed about something I have a year and a half to decide?” He scoffed and shook his head. ”I’m not going to put all my eggs in one basket especially since we have no idea where we’re going. We’re still kind of gaining our footing of being in a relationship.” He wasn’t trying to be a dink but she was being irrational. They had only been together a couple months. He couldn’t plan his entire life around being with some for about nine weeks! That was crazy! tagged: jesse outfit: here notes: I‘m not sure how far they‘ve gone but he can still be flirty?

jesse laughed, shaking her head. "that's ok.. apartment hunting it is," she replied. "you? never!" she made a shocked sort of face, like no one could ever be suspicious of landon. "they'd take one look at that handsome face of yours and know that's impossible," jesse informed him, smiling. he was a very good looking guy, but on a more serious note, it was entirely liking that someone would get suspicious if he did such a thing. which he wouldn't, so it was a mute point.

she smiled, blushing a little at his question, then leaned in. "you better believe it!" jesse told him, though only loud enough for him to hear. she hoped. she glanced at the driver, but he was still looking straight ahead so she figured he hadn't heard her. she turned back to landon, still smiling, and elbowed him lightly in the ribs. "oh my gosh! i would love that," jesse exclaimed excitedly. warm weather was sounding real nice right about then, considering how cold it was out, and she found herself wishing she could fast forward to summer. she didn't really mind the cold much, though going to see his parents and sister, spending some time on the beach and getting a break from her shop, and her parents, sounded real nice. "it's definitely going to be fun."

jesse nodded understandingly. he was right, of course. meeting landon for the first time would no doubt be overwhelming for her as it was, let only adding another stranger to the mix. "you're right," she agreed. "i still wish i could be with you, though." jesse wrapped her arms around him tighter in a hug, trying not to think about how much she was going to miss him. he wasn't going to be gone a super long time, but still. "i thought that our relationship meant more to you, that's all," jesse replied, hotly. "obviously i was wrong."

"i understood you considering moving away when we were just friends. i was upset, but i understood. now we're in a relationship and you're still considering moving!" she answered, practically yelling at him. yes, they'd only been together a couple months, but they'd been friends for a few years, and not just a casual friendship. they were best friends. jesse was reacting that way partly because of that. because she didn't want to lose her best friend and boyfriend. "i don't care how long away it is. i care about here and now and the fact you're still even considering it." she crossed her arms, looking away from him. "i'm not leaving hope harbor," jesse said, quietly. she knew he wasn't asking her to, yet. but what if they got far enough along into the relationship to consider moving in together or even getting married? what then? she was being selfish, insisting on staying where she was, but she couldn't help it. hope harbor was her home.

Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you, and all you know and how you speak. Countless lovers under cover of the street. Landon got a bemused look on his face. ”Handsome. I could get used to that. Keep them coming.” He was only teasing as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. ”Just remember that when you have to bail me out of jail.” Landon of course didn’t think anyone in this town was like that. Everyone here was nice. Except, well, whoever was doing all this stuff around town. Those people were obviously twisted. And not in a good way like Landon is. ”Well, alright then. We can plan on you coming down. I technically get done school in May so we could go before the tourist season starts? I know you don’t like being away for big times of the year like that.” Landon had a feeling his family would really like her. They weren’t like her parents. They were all very goofy and accepting. They had to since accepted Landon despite him not being blood. They never treated him like he was different, even though he knew early on he was adopted. Some families didn’t take too well to adopted kids. And when his cousin came out, all they did was ask how hot the girl was an start joking about how she could go to strip clubs and hooters with them. Yeah, his family was a bit colorful. Now he hoped his birth mother and his family was that way. ”Yeah it would be nice. It’s a big thing for me and I’m doing it alone. It’s...scary.” Landon was beign brutally honest. If this didn’t go well, he wasn’t sure how he would react. ”Seriously?” Landon was pissed. Of course their relationship meant something! But he was an adult-he had to think of all the possibilities. He shook his head while he clenched and unclenched one of his fists. He would never hit a woman but it was a calming technique for him. ”Jesse, I can not plan for us being together. I did that with my fiancée and look what happened! I ended up dumped! It’s not all about you. I actually have to have a back up plan for if this doesn’t work. I don’t have a family with money to fall back on if my crap doesn’t work out. I have to figure out all the best opportunities to take care of myself or else I end up back in their house. At least your parents will pay for your precious apartment.” That was a low blow but he was seriously angry. He could tell the guy with the sleigh was getting uncomfortable and was taking a path back to where they began. ”I actually have to act like an adult and have a plan A and B. god we haven’t even figured out how serious this is and you’re flipping your shit on me.” tagged: jesse outfit: here notes: sorry it‘s crummy

"hmmm.." she mused, trying to think of other words to describe landon's looks. which wasn't very hard. "adorable, good lookin'," jesse said, ticking them off on her fingers. "hott," she spoke in a lower tone, her grin widening. "no one would dare throw my boyfriend in jail." if such a think were ever to happen, which she thought very unlikely, she'd fight it as hard as she could, even knowing it wouldn't make a difference. jesse was just glad she would never have to seriously worry about that sort of thing. landon was a good guy. the best, even. "great," she replied happily. "whenever works best for you and your family. i'll go whether the shop's busy or not." she was trying harder to put him before her job, which unfortunately didn't always happen. sometimes, however, no matter how much she wanted to, she just couldn't. as the owner, jesse couldn't always just leave, unless it was a major emergency.

she liked how landon's parents had handled the whole 'adoption' thing. a lot of parents never told their kids that they had been for one reason or another. but his had told him as soon as he'd been old enough to understand what that meant, and jesse thought that was probably the best way to go about it. especially since he wasn't treated any different from their own child. she listened as landon spoke again, appreciating the fact that he was being completely honest with her. most guys wouldn't admit to being scared, ever. but he was brave enough to do so, which just added to the stuff that made him a great guy. "i know," jesse said, putting on an encouraging smile. "but you'll get through it." one way or another, he'd have to. she just hoped it was a good way.

"yes, seriously," jesse replied, realizing that landon was getting just as upset as her. not that she really cared at this point. "well, i'm not her, am i?" that was a bit insulting to her, being compared to his ex-fiance. "so you're planning for things not to work out between us?" jesse asked irritably. "i don't plan on breaking up with someone. i plan on it lasting." she took relationships serious, even in their infancy, not make plans to not be together. "oh, and i fall back on mine?" she asked, obviously offended by that statement. but his last comment was a low blow, never thinking it possible for landon to say something like that to her. "i can't believe you just said that to me.. you ass!" jesse was so angry she wanted to slap him across the face as hard as she could. she ignored the 'a and b' comment, too upset to even say anything. "you want to talk about planning for the future?" she snapped. "that's what i'm talking about. our future."

jesse didn't care what the driver heard, at this point, too angry to even remember he was there to overhear it. as soon as the carriage returned to the starting point she got out, storming off without another word to landon.
