He watched her move to the couch, waiting until she was seated and comfortable ( or in this case, just seated ) before he moved to sit adjacent to her in the big, lumpy armchair. Jesse felt like he was trying to corral a kitten without spooking it. But he could hear her heart slowing some, and she was staying to hear him out. That was a hell of a win. However, the victory felt short lived when she voiced her first question. So they were diving right into the deep end. Fuck. Jesse's eyes cast down guiltily as he let out a low breath before he pointedly answered her second question first. "Well, we have this sort of...Jedi mind trick thing we can do? At least, that's what I call it." he began with a slight shrug. "We can make people think things, and do things, and...yeah, forget things." he nodded, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees, hands wringing nervously in front of him. "And that night we met and I brought you back here — after you already wanted me, after we were already hooking up — " he stressed that point emphatically. He'd never used his little skill to get a girl into bed or actually convince her to do anything. " — I made you remember some things...a little differently." One thing. The memory he knew she had, of his head between her thighs while he coaxed her to yet another orgasm with his tongue and fingers, wasn't the entire truth. "But I — I didn't know that you and I were gonna be — this!" he gestured between the pair. "I didn't know we were gonna matter so much, so I didn't think it would matter. And then we just, I dunno, clicked or whatever, and I knew the smart thing was to stay away from you, but...I couldn't." he admitted softly, shoulders lifting defenselessly. "I liked you too much. I wanted you too much." he murmured shamefully, eyes casting down to the floor between them.
