'Four hours,' his text message read.
'Four hours too long,' she responded immediately. 'I love you.'
'I love you more.'
"What is that grin for?" Theresa asked. "Your secret booooyfriend?" she teased in a sing-song voice and then jumped on her tiny dormitory bed.
"He is hardly a secret," Jessie admonished. "We've been together for four years quite openly."
"Then why don't you have any pictures of the two of you…"
"I have thousands," Jessie cut her off patiently. "…and aren't you tired of this conversation yet? We are arguably in one of the most intellectually stimulating places on the planet and you want to talk about guys like we're in high school?"
"If you didn't deflect my questions at every turn, then maybe I would be interested in other subjects," Theresa smiled. "Besides, the intellectual bounty of Harvard aside, we are also college freshman away from home for the first time and we should be living it up together. I don't know about you, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of physically stimulating men on this campus. I came in resigned that they would all be dogs. Smart dogs destined to run the world one day of course, but dogs nonetheless. Then to my great surprise there are several I'd gladly roll over for."
"That's classy, T." Jessie did not dislike her roommate. In fact, she respected her blunt attitude and found her opinions on most subjects well thought out and accurate, but she still had trouble opening up with her despite the fact that they had been together twenty-four-seven since orientation. Jessie was not sure if that was because of the competitive nature of Harvard, the fact that she'd never had female friends growing up and did not know how to relate or that natural Bannon tendency to keep people at arm's length until they proved themselves trustworthy. She suspected it was a combination of all three though.
"I just don't want you to wake up one day and regret missing out on all this fun," she scolded. "You have your whole life to be in a relationship. You shouldn't tie yourself down at nineteen. Humans are not monogamists by nature. The fact that you have stuck it out for four years with the same guy…you should mark that as one in the win column and move on. It's unnatural."
"God…you sound like my mother," Jessie rolled her eyes and then got up to finish packing her things. "Except she does want me to settle down, but with another man."
"Ah yes, the delicious Tyler Adams. Pre-med, ridiculously rich, even more ridiculously handsome and lest we forget he has had a hard on for you since the day we arrived. What is the problem exactly?"
"Only the insurmountable fact that he is not my man and doesn't even hold a candle to my man."
"So you say," Theresa rolled her eyes. "I bet you would change your mind if you came to Aspen with us? Come on, it will be so amazing. Two weeks of no school and just the ten of us in a luxury cabin. Well nine if you don't come, which would leave poor beautiful Tyler without a hook-up buddy."
"I have zero interest in that. I will be spending Christmas with my family and the hook-up hours with my boyfriend, if I'm lucky.'
"Overrated," Theresa shouted.
"You are crazy," Jessie laughed.
"No. You are…you know we could run this school, right? I don't mean to sound like a snob, but we are the best looking girls in this school. Hands down. It's not even debatable. We could sample all these fine specimens and then hand pick the ones we want."
"I gotta go," Jess smiled indulgently. "My ride should be here in five. Are you gonna give me a hug?"
"Bitch, I'm walking you out. If you're going to ditch me, the least you can do is introduce me to the famous Dr. Quest."
"Fair enough. Let's go."
"So he's single, right? He's kinda hot for an old guy."
"I will not even respond to that," Jessie sighed. Maybe she did not always appreciate Theresa's bluntness. Any lingering annoyance she felt toward her roommate, however, quickly left her when she caught sight of her father.
"Dad," she yelled, dropping her bags and jumping in his arms. She had not realized how much she missed him until she was in his arms.
"I missed you too, Ponchita."
"How are you?" she asked excitedly and then embraced Dr. Quest.
"Better now. Who do we have here?"
"Hi Mr. Bannon. Dr. Quest. Oh wow. I'm Theresa. Jessie's roommate. So nice to meet you."
"You too," Dr. Quest smiled. "I trust the two of you have been looking out for one another?"
"Of course. It's been a fun semester, but not too much fun," she rushed.
"Good to hear. Where will you be spending break?"
"Asp…"
"THERESA. Theresa, oh my god, did you hear?" their other friend Martha rushed up. "I'm sorry to interrupt. Oh wow," Martha then stopped, having the same fangirl reaction upon noticing Dr. Quest. "Dr. Quest. I'm Martha. Jessie's friend. Hi."
"It's nice to meet you. Is everything, ok?"
"Oh yeah. I just found out our flight was cancelled and wanted to let Theresa know," she huffed out of breath, but Jessie suspected she delivered the news in person to get an introduction to Dr. Quest.
"Well…gives me more time to pack on the bright side,' Theresa smiled.
"All flights are cancelled until after Christmas," Martha interrupted. "Between weather and the holidays, they can't accommodate…"
"You won't be able to get to your families for Christmas?" Dr. Quest interjected.
"No. All of our parents are travelling abroad anyway," Theresa waved off. "…so a group of us were gonna spend Christmas together in Aspen."
"Well I don't like the idea of a bunch of kids alone on Christmas. You are welcome to join us until you can get to Colorado," Dr. Quest offered.
"Really?" they asked in unison.
"Of course. Jessie's friends are always welcome. How many?"
"Uh… there are nine of us," Theresa squealed, excited at the prospect.
"We have plenty of room on the plane as long as you don't mind doubling up a bit at the hotel?"
"Thank you so much. We have to let everyone know and pack some lighter clothes!"
"Take your time girls," Dr. Quest smiled. "Just meet us back here in an hour."
Jessie immediately deflated at the prospect of a delay. 'So much for four hours,' she thought.
"Jessie, I hope I didn't overstep there," Dr. Quest looked a little sheepish.
"Not at all. That was so generous," she grinned, but knew she was not convincing. "Sorry. I'm a little anxious to get out of here."
"Understandable. I very much look forward to hearing what all the young smart minds at my alma mater have to say though. I'll let you two catch up a bit and go call the airport and hotel to make arrangements."
"All those minds will be jumping at the chance," Jessie replied dryly as soon as Dr. Quest was out of earshot.
"I'm sorry about that, sweetie. You know how he gets when he's back on this campus," Race laughed.
"I know and it's really fine," she persisted. "I'm being a little selfish. I was really looking forward to Christmas being just the five of us, I guess. It's been a long four months. Self-imposed…I know," she threw her hands up.
"Well that was not going to happen anyway," Race hedged. "We already have a full plane so I think Dr. Quest was going for the more the merrier at this point."
"Huh?" Jessie asked in confusion.
"We brought a few of your friends and their families from Rockport. Dr. Quest was feeling generous. Your mother and grandmother flew in from Columbia last night. They would have come to pick you up, but were dead on their feet from travelling. For some reason they decided not to meet us there to eliminate half their travel time, but don't get me started on that. Oh, and my parents are meeting us there," he finished with a tired shrug. "Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see my folks…but I was looking forward to the same low key holiday as you before all this started to come together last week. Please act surprised when you see your mother by the way..."
"Thanks for the warning."
"It was supposed to be a good surprise."
"It is. I'm just being a bitch because I miss my boyfriend," she laughed. "I should call him to let him know we are running late and don't worry I'll protect you from mom and grandma," she hugged him tightly and then walked a few yards away.
He picked up on the first ring. "Hi Baby." The sound of his voice put her in a better mood like clockwork.
"Hey," she smiled. "I miss you," she whispered, getting off track.
"Are you in the air yet?" he asked.
"Roadblock," she sighed.
"The course of true love never did run smooth," he quipped.
"Hmm…you're quoting Shakespeare to me now? You trying to get lucky or something?"
"Hey, I figure I need to step up my game if I'm competing with these Harvard fools now," he teased, but she knew he was not completely joking.
"None of these fools would know what to do with me," she hummed. "Did you know my mom and grandmother were joining us in Florida?"
"Oh…way to kill the mood."
"Didn't want to get you too excited before I get there," she laughed.
"Found out last night. Your dad asked me to keep it a surprise."
"This means we will have to be extra creative if we want any alone time," she huffed. "My mom and grandmother will be ten times more annoying than my dad."
"I have a few things in the works. Don't you worry, mon reine."
"I should have known. By the way… a few of those Harvard fools will be joining us too."
"Said roadblock?"
"Yeah…their flight to Aspen was cancelled so your Dad invited them to join us, which was very sweet…"
"But…," he encouraged.
"I just wanted you all to myself."
"Well, I have minimal interest in them so that will not be a problem. It will be nice to get to know the people you spend most of your time with though. It will make me worry about you less. I hope."
"Yeah right. Is that even possible?"
"What can I say? Hear my soul speak. The very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly to your service."
"I love you, Jonny."
