Branden held Jess close as he looked down at her with a smile, glad that she didn`t shy away from his touch anymore. In his eyes she was a beautiful woman, not minding the scars that covered her face and body. They both had experienced a lot, and cause of it they shared a special bond that few would ever hope to understand. Now that they had solved their issues, it seemed like they at least would be able to carry an easier conversation from now on, which was good he thought. When she rested against his touch and lot out a heavy sigh, he listened, but chucked lightly to the truth she revealed, which he found sorta funny considering neither he remembered much of it.
As she leaned up and kissed his cheek, he blushed without realizing and he couldn`t help but to love what she did. Once she grabbed the bucket with the brush in, she asked if he wanted to join her for dinner, and with a kind nod, he answered. “I`d love too.” After watching her walk out of the pen, putting away the bucket and walk over to the table, he followed. First he went to grab some food as well, and then he caught up with Jess by the wall.
Taking a big chunk of the chicken without using knife and fork, he stopped beside her and said after swallowing a piece. “Mmmhmm, this chicken is delicious. God I had almost forgotten how it tasted like.” Taking another bite he ate like a savage, but thought to behave more properly once he saw her eating in a more civilized manner. “Ehm…gotta say, it`s like I`ve entered heaven.” He joked with a smile, not only referring to the food, but her as well, trying to lighten the mood up a bit.
After thinking back on what she had said earlier, about her child, he came to realize she shouldn’t have gotten drunk with him. He wanted to ask her about it, though didn`t know how. Instead he thought of another topic, and thus came up with the suggestion. “After everything, hmm maybe we should start fresh? See how it goes? I mean, I`ll help you, be your friend if you want too and all...” The last thing he said came out more awkward than he had wanted, though it was said.
