Is This Love? - Jess Mariano x Reader

Chapter Twenty- Six: Friday Night Diner- Take 2

Welcome back everyone!

Tuesday Morning
Y/N's Pov
I woke up to my alarm. I shut it off, and closed my eyes again. I felt Jess's lips connect with my bare shoulder. I was wearing a Blake tank top, with some gray shorts. I felt Jess's kisses slowly travel up my shoulder, and his arm wrapped around my stomach. My fingers traced his hand.
"Good morning.." I whispered.
"Good morning.." Jess mumbled against my skin.
I smiled, and Jess turned me around so that I was facing him.
"Hi," I smiled.
"Hi," He smirked back at me.
"So. How'd you sleep?" I asked.
"I slept well. What about you?" He asked.
"I slept pretty good," I smiled.
"Good," Jess said.
He leaned over, and kissed my forehead softly.
"I have to get up," I said as Jess's lips pulled away from my forehead.
"No.." He said wrapping his arms around me.
"I have school," I smiled.
"I have work," He shrugged.
"What?" I asked sitting up.
Jess sat up too.
"I got my old job back at Walmart. I figured you needed the money," He said.
"We," I corrected.
"What?" Jess asked.
"Well you live here too. Don't you?" I asked.
"Yeah," Jess shrugged again.
"Okay then," I said standing up.
I walked to the bathroom, and put my hair in a loose ponytail. I washed my face, and brushed my teeth. When I was done with that, I took the hair tie out of my hair, and brushed it out. I just let it down naturally. I went back to the bedroom, and got dressed. I changed into some plain jeans, and a simple blouse. I grabbed one of Jess's hoodies and put it on. I smiled to myself, bringing in Jess's natural scent. I walked out to the kitchen and saw Jess making coffee. I smiled, and walked over. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a red shirt, and a blue jacket. He looked over to me and bit his lip.

What?" I asked smiling, and laughing.
"Nothing," He shook his head.
I walked over, and got myself a cup. I saw Jess staring at me.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I just think you're so amazing, and beautiful, and smart," He smirked.
"Oh yeah?" I asked.
"Yeah," He said nodding his head slightly.
I put my cup down, and leaned over and kissed him. I felt him kiss me back, and I pulled away slowly.
"I have to go," I said.
"Okay. Bye," Jess said.
I smiled, and grabbed my stuff before walking out.
I started walking to school, and when I got there I went to the cafeteria. I walked in and grabbed a coffee cup. I went to an empty table and sat down. I laid my book on the table and started reading. I heard someone sit next to me. I looked up and saw a guy sitting there.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"I don't mean to bother you," He said.
"It's alright," I said.
"I'm Marty," He said.
"Y/N," I lightly smiled.
"So where's your boyfriend?" Marty asked.
I assumed he thought I would say I didn't have a boyfriend.
"At home," I said.
"You do have a boyfriend?" He asked.
"Yeah," I slightly laughed.
"Cool, cool," Marty said looking around the room.
"We can be friends though," I shrugged.
He looked over to me, and smiled.
"Sure," He said.
"Well I have to get to class," I said.
"What class?" He asked standing up.
I stood up too, grabbing my empty coffee cup.
"Graphic design," I nodded.
"Okay. I'll see you later," Marty said.
I nodded.
I walked to my class, which went by pretty quickly.
After School~~
I was walking around the school, with Jess's hoodie tied around my waist. It got so hot in my Math class. I don't know why but that class always makes me sweat. Maybe it's just the math part. I shrugged to myself, and saw Marty walking over to me.
"Hey," I smiled.
"Hey," He said.
"I was going to go study at this cool coffee shop I discovered. You wanna join?" Marty asked, quite nervously.
"Yeah. Sure. I could go for some coffee," I said.
"Cool," He said.
We started walking to the coffee shop. It got pretty awkward fast.
When we got there, we started studying and doing homework. I heard my phone ring, and I walked away to answer it.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey hon," Mom said.
"Hey mom," I said.
"How are you?" She asked.
"I'm fine. What about you?" I asked.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Listen.." Mom started.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I heard about Logan," She said.
"What? How?" I asked.
"Your grandmother," She said.
"Oh. Well I'm fine," I said.
"You are?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'm back with Jess," I said.
"Jess is back?" She asked.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Oh. Well perfect," Mom said.
"What?" I asked.
"Grandma wants you to bring Jess to dinner," She said.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"I don't know," Mom told me.
"Okay, I'll talk to him," I said.
"Friday," Mom said.
"How surprising," I rolled my eyes.
I hung up the phone, and walked over to Marty. I sat down, and saw Marty looking up at me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Your boyfriend?" He asked.
"Oh. No, my mom," I said.
He nodded. I looked back down at my text book, and continued my studying.
~~~~
After a couple hours of studying, I went home. Me and Marty said our goodbyes and I walked home.
I got there, and went inside.
"Jess?" I asked.
I saw Jess sitting on the couch reading a book. He looked up at me.
"Hey," He said.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"Oh, sorry. I went to the coffee place. I went to go study," I said putting my bag down, and sitting next to Jess.
He nodded.
I leaned my head on his shoulder, and closed my eyes.
"You tired?" Jess asked.
I nodded.
~~~~
I opened my eyes, and saw I was in the same position. I sat up, and saw Jess asleep with his head leaned against the back of the couch. I stood up, grabbed my bag and brought it to my room. I changed into some comfy clothes, and went back out to Jess.
"Hey," Jess stood up.
"Hey," I smiled.
I walked over to him.
"I need to tell you something," I said.
"What is it?" He asked.
"We're going to dinner with my grandparents," I said, and I swear his face dropped.
"What?" He asked.
"My mom set it up. I know it's stupid," I said.
"I thought we've already been over this," He said.
"Been over what?" I asked.
"Your grandparents don't like me," Jess said.
"They don't know you," I said.
"They know that I'm not enough for their granddaughter," Jess said.
"I don't care what they say," I said.
"Just go with me. Please?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck.
I felt him rest his hands on my waist.
"Fine," Jess mumbled.
I smiled.
"Thank you!" I smiled, kissing him quickly.
"Your welcome," He smirked.
Friday Night~~
Me and Jess were driving to my grandparents. I was wearing a simple sundress, with a Jean jacket. Jess was wearing jeans and a button up grayish shirt. He was wearing his leather jacket.
We got there, and I saw mom's car there. We got out of the car, and started walking to the door. Jess loosely wrapped his arm around my waist. I took a breath, and knocked on the door.
Grandma answered it with a smile on her face.
"Welcome! Welcome!" She smiled.
We walked inside.
"Hi Grandma," I smiled.
"How are you Y/N?" She asked.
"I'm doing okay. What about you?" I asked.
"I'm doing well thank you," She said.
I nodded. We went to the living room, and sat on the couch. I saw mom walk back into the room.
"Hey mom," I said.
"Hey hon," She said.
I smiled.
"It's very nice to see you Jess," Grandma said.
"Oh. Thanks," He said.
Grandma frowned, which made me laugh.
"Y/N," Grandma said.
"What?" I asked.
"Care to tell me what's so funny?" She asked.
"Oh nothing," I shrugged.
"Mhm," She said.
I crossed my arms, looking down.
"Mrs Gilmore. Dinners ready," The maid said.
"Alright," Grandma said standing up.
We all stood up, and walked out to the kitchen.
We sat down at the table. Grandma and Grandpa at either end. Mom at the left side, and me and Jess on the right side.
"So Y/N," Grandpa started. "How's Boston?"
"It's good," I said.
"What's about you Jess?" Grandpa asked.
Jess looked up.
"What about me?" He asked.
"You're going to school in Boston. Correct?" Grandpa asked.
"Oh, no," Jess said.
"Then what are you doing? You didn't apply to Boston? Where will you go to college?" Grandpa asked.
"I'm not going to college. I'm working," Jess said.
"Unexceptionable!" Grandpa shouted standing up, slamming his hands down on the table.
"Richard!" Grandma shouted.
"Dad. Relax," Mom said.
Jess looked mad as hell. He looked like he was about to break. I grabbed his hand, and looked at him. I nodded.
"Thank you for dinner Grandma. But me and Jess have to get back to Boston. I have a final I need to study for," I said.
Before they said anything, I stood up, and walked away. I heard Jess behind me. We grabbed our coats, and walked out.
"You have a final?" Jess asked.
"No," I said.
"So you lied? To your grandparents," Jess said.
"I guess I did," I said proudly.
"I knew there was a badass in there somewhere," Jess smirked.
I scoffed, and laughed. We got into his car, and drove home.
