[Tick, Tock][Tick, Tock]:.:Jesse:.:

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse sighed and turned back to her. He moved to stand directly in front of her, letting his hands rest on the table on either side of her, leaning closer to her. "I'm sorry Diana. Please forgive me. You're beautiful... I just don't want to get hurt anymore. Especially not by someone so young. Bella cut me deep," Jesse said softly, truthfully. He was, in a way, scared to be with anyone.

[Diana Dark]

Diana was, to say the least, surprised when Jesse moved to lean towards her. She didn’t move away from him as he moved closer to her. She listened to what he said and smiled softly, a little more honestly. “I’m sorry Bella hurt you.” she said softly. She really was. That wasn’t fair that people took advantage of others like that. Especially since Jesse seemed like a good guy. She could understand his hesitation to date someone again after being wounded so badly by the one he loved.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse smiled softly and gave a playful pout, not moving away from her. "So is mean Jesse forgiven?" Jesse asked playfully. He gave he a soft smile while he waited for her reply. He was really happy she hadn't moved away from him, but was also still weary of flirting with the young girl.

[Diana Dark]

Diana laughed at his playful pout and words to match. It was cute. She put on a thoughtful expression and attempted to keep a straight face before beginning to giggle, “Of course he is.” she said between giggles. She was surprised he hadn’t moved yet. Surprised, yet happy. She wasn’t sure but she sensed some flirtatiousness in his voice.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse grinned, flashing her a charming smile. "Good. Jesse doesn't like it when pretty girls are mad at him," Jesse replied, letting himself flirt a little. He moved away from being in front of her and now sat beside her. He smiled softly at her.

"You have a cute giggle," Jesse informed her quietly.

[Diana Dark]

Diana smiled at him and said, "That can't be to often." with another laugh that seemed to bounce of the walls of the nearly empty room. He was beginning to flirt. This realization brought a smile to her pink lips. As he moved she worked hard to keep the disappointment from her face, even though she couldn't hide it in her eyes. She listened to the compliment and blushed slightly, "Thank you." she said smiling over at him.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse rose an eyebrow at the disappointment in her eyes. He grinned and hopped back down and moved to stand in front of her again, leaning down the same way. "Is that better?" Jesse asked, his voice soft and playfully, though something seductive lurked in the corners. He smiled and let a hand brush up and down her arm before resting on the table again.

[Diana Dark]

Diana smiled as he moved back to his original position in front of her. She threw him a playful grin and asked, "Was it obvious?" with a small laugh. She couldn't help but shiver as she felt his hand brush up and down her bare arm before letting it rest on the table. She knew that the pleasure she felt was clear in her eyes and she didn't attempt to hide that.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse grinned at her question and nodded. "Yes, it was extremly obvious," Jesse replied. The next this that was obvious was the pleasure she got from him running his hand up her arm. He bit his lower lip, not sure what to do. He was normally confident with women, but he was supposed to have a girlfriend... He didn't move away, just smiled into her eyes.

[Diana Dark]

Diana smiled sheepishly when he told her how obvious it was. Oh well. She watched as he bit his lower lip and she reached up to run her finger across his upper one, “That’s a bad habit….”she said with a small smile.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse shrugged. "I'm used to it by now. When I am unsure, I bit my lip. Would you rather I bit yours?" Jesse asked jokingly. He gave a soft chuckle, then nibbled gently on the finger running across his upper lip. He pulled his lips away from her finger and just smiled softly at her.

[Diana Dark]

Diana smiled and blushed a very light shade of pink at his last comment. “Well…” she said, clearly implying that the answer to his question was ‘yes’. Diana’s eyes flashed flirtatiously as he kissed her finger and she pulled it back a bit reluctantly. He was beginning to make it difficult to be the well-behaved Hufflepuff girl she was attempting to be. She smiled back at him and locked eyes with him.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

Jesse gave a playful roll of his eyes, but was fighting with himself not to kiss her. He smiled as she locked eyes with him. He didn't move, and if he moved it was closer to her. "Oh Diana, you are so bad, you're making it hard for me to behave," Jesse informed her, his voice slightly lower than normal.

[Diana Dark]

Diana smiled as she saw that he moved closer to her. She smirked slightly at his comment and moved her legs to slightly wrap around his legs. “So…why are you trying to behave?” she asked taking note to the pitch of his voice. He was speaking lower than usual, it was unbelievably sexy. She diverted her eyes from his and reached over to gently touch his chest, amazed at the muscles her soft fingers felt through the material of his shirt.

[Professor Jesse Roberts]

As she wrapped her legs around him slightly, Jesse closed his eyes and bit his lip. "Well, you see Diana, i have a girlfriend, whether she cheated on me or not," Jesse said softly, opening his eyes and smiling softly down at her. He caught the hand running over his chest and brought her fingers to his lips, kissing her hand gently. He smiled softly and replaced her hand on his chest.

"Screw it," jesse mumbled. He took her chin and lifted it with one finger. He smiled into her eyes and kissed her lips softly.
