Too Lives With You Chapter One: Cunning Plan

But what did any of that matter? He loved me! And this time when he kissed me, no one interrupted. (End Of Haunted)

No one interrupted. But when we finally broke apart – me needing air and all – And I saw Jesse smiling at me, for a second I knew, just knew, that everything was going to be all right. But the again, count on the fact that I'm Suze Simon and that something – or someone – will come to ruin my day.

This time it came in the form of a whooshing sound in my ears, I felt like if I was being ripped off my body. I saw myself beginning to fall, but Jesse caught me before I hit the ground.

"Querida," he said, shaking me lightly. "What's wrong? Susannah?"

"JESSE!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, but he didn't hear me.

"Gee, that isn't very lady-like," A playful voice said, and I saw a ghostly female presence next to me. But she wasn't quite a ghost. And Jesse couldn't see her, just as he couldn't see me.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Again, not very lady-like," she replied calmly. Somehow I could feel at ease with her. "And the name is Jesse, that's what my friends call me, or would if I had any." She shrugged dismissively. "Anyway, I came here to make you a proposition."

"What kind of proposition?"

"What if I told you that there is a way for you to live happily ever after with Jesse?"

"I'd say that I think there is a catch."

"Of course there is a catch. You, Suze Simon, would have to live with him in the XIX century," I must have been looked at her as if she was nuts because she added, "Don't give me that look, I'm talking serious. If the plan goes according to schedule, this Susannah Simon," she pointed at my body being rocked in Jesse's arms. "will wake up and go on living a normal life: no pain, no ghosts. She'll pretty much be you and think like you and have your life. She'll be happy. And you would be with Jesse. If it works out, you get Jesse, and Suze gets a normal life."

"You must be tricking me,"

"I most certainly am not." She did looked dead serious. "Look, this is important to me, you will understand it with the time. But now, all I need you is to play along,"

I considered all of it, I still didn't knew how I was going to end in the XIX century, but there was something about her that made me trust. "Ok, deal." I said, she reached out and shook my hand. Then I felt that same feeling, as if I was being ripped off my body, only this time I was also going backwards.

"Landing hurts," I heard Jess' Voice again. I found myself in the ground, and I was wearing this fluffy, out-of-La-mascara-del-Zorro hoopskirt. And a Bonnet, I kid you not, a bonnet.

"Where am I?" I asked getting to my feet.

"Lovely Carmel-by-the-sea, 1850." She said smiling happily. "Now, here is what you're going to do. You're going to go straight for the boarding house, you'll spend the night there. Tomorrow you will move to the Mission, live in the rectory with Father Benedict – he is a Mediator, knows what's going on and it's willing to help. I'll explain more later, now off you go!"

I walked, Carmel hasn't changed that much in 1850, the outlines of the city are pretty much the same, so I found my way to what 150 years later would be my house. Just when I was about to made it, I came face to face with one of the persons I loathe the most in this whole wide world that I like to call Earth: Felix Diego.

To my surprise, this Diego-dude started to follow me, muttering things under his breath that made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't understand a word as he said them in Spanish, but I'm sure that if I were able to translate I would have been very pissed. I turned around to tell Diego a four-letters-word and just then I bumped into a solid from. In turned to see, I found m self in the presence of the ultimate hottie of the Latino variety: Hector "Jesse" De Silva.

"Hola, Diego." Jesse said coolly.

"De Silva." Diego said, a fury in his voice that he didn't quite managed to cover. Jesse smirked at him. Seriously, smirked! And he looked so sexy while doing it so.

They started to call each other names in Spanish, and, by the way my ears were ringing I could be sure that it wasn't pretty. Finally, Diego swore and left. It was then when I realized that Jesse and I were still in the same position we have ended after I bumped into him. And lets just say that we were as close as the hoop skirt allowed.

Jesse realized of this too and stepped back, and went "Have a nice day, señorita" and then touched the side of his cowboy hat, before walking away too.

So far, everything was going according to schedule, or so Jess said, then she told me the second part of her plan, and about that one I wasn't so sure. But so far nothing bad had happened, so I decided to go along. Around midnight, I went out of my room –the one that later would have been Doc's, wondered around the hallway a little while and the opened the door of the room that later would become my own.

As expected, Jesse was on his bed and Felix Diego has over him trying to asphyxiate him. Jess had told me to yell hard, but even she –and I – was surprised when I actually found my voice and yelled louder that I had ever yelled before.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
