"Hey!" Katherine exclaimed as Jessie walked into the dinning area, Jason not far behind. "How are you?" She eyed Jason, with a mischievous smile she proceeded to ask the next question. "How are both of you?" She winked.
Jessie eyes widened and she looked behind her, Jason and herself sharing an awkward moment she looked back at Katherine and shook her head slightly. Katherine got the message.
"I'm shocked to see that you're still here." Jessie said.
"Agreed." Jason added grabbing a coffee... to go. "And Paul is not, hmmm I can barely get him to leave my house after he has spent the night."
"Oh well... I saw a chance for a holiday and I guess I took it." She shrugged. "Besides your manor has all of these..." she gestured to the food and the coffee in his hands. "How could I just walk away."
Jason smiled. "Well I'm glad you like it, and Jessie has someone to keep her company." He said, walking to Jessie he placed a soft kiss on her lips "I'll be back late." He whispered into her ears. "Goodbye Katherine."
When he was finally gone Katherine had to ask. "You forgave him? So quickly? Gosh with the way the temperature dropped each time you guys where in the room together I would have assumed-"
"We would still be fighting?" Jessie asked sitting at the island.
"Uh... yeah" she answered matter of factly.
And Jessie drew in such a massive amount of air she was sighing for a long time. "Are you okay?" Katherine asked.
And she shook her head. "Last night, George said some things to me and I haven't been able to shake it off. Because I feel like he might have had a point."
"Nothing that bastard says has a point. He just says things to manipulate people and anything that could benefit his own twisted desires." She scoffed.
"You think so? Be honest with me Katherine, I do not want to be dismissed or propagated. Am I selfish?" She asked.
Katherine frowned. "Where is all this coming from? Of course not."
"So you think by caring about no one but my decent back to my former life wasn't selfish?" Katherine opened her mouth to speak but Jessie motioned for her to wait. "George said I didn't care about anything but exposing that auction house so I could get back my reputation, and he was right."
Katherine looked confused. "Yes Jessie he is right, isn't that the plan. I don't understand how that makes you selfish."
Jessie sighed "you don't get it, I never once thought, like really thought about the other women that are sold, like really sold to be sex slaves to disgusting men and tortured, broken the rest of their lives. Even with Jason I was always so entitled with him. He gave me a chance that no other woman that passed through that house ever got, and yet I acted like I deserved more."
Katherine face lost most of it's confusion and fell into a knowing pout. "I mean I can totally understand where you are coming from and all, but what did Jason say about this?" She asked.
"What would he say? He said I deserved more than the whole world and I shouldn't stop asking for it." She sighed heavily. "He's probably the reason I never noticed it before, I swear I'm not selfish or anything, I'm just... I don't know."
Katherine chuckled. "That definitely sounds like Jason. He's sweet to only those he loves."
"Hey, this is not about Jason." Jessie frowned. "I need real advice. This isn't in my head."
"No it isn't, now that you've actually pointed it out I guess some people might say that makes you spoiled or entitled but you should give yourself some credit. You're only human, you've only known abundance, abundance of every good thing."
"Not true, I worked hard to get where I am today. You have no idea the countless nights, being on display to idiot old men who only choose actresses based on their looks or bra size. The other useless men that would try to take advantage of our desperation to make us do things we shouldn't, things that are just wrong. I fought all of that, refused to be used and that still set me back a few years. The ridicule, the lack of food, training like I was going to drop. And those detestable directors, not to mention the fact that I even had to walk on eggshells after I made it. I couldn't lash out at anyone but there were free to do same to me. I couldn't date anyone, have fun?"
"Exactly. That is why you believed you were entitled to every thing and more." Katherine said.
"Just because I have a difficult past doesn't make it alright for me to be bad person Katherine. If I do that then I'm just a villain, I don't want to be a villain." Jessie shook her head. "You've it had worse, you're not bad."
Katherine smiled. "You mean I don't have the means to be bad."
"Nobody needs means to be bad. Sure there's a reason most people become bad and honestly you have one but you chose not to. I just became this person, without even realising it."
"Then you stop being that person." Katherine replied. "Just stop, it's not to late to do things for the right reason, it's not too late to think of others. Not that anyone was getting hurt before but if you feel you want a change, then change."
Jessie turned to face front when another maid walked in. "Miss Marin!" She squeaked. "I didn't know you were here, shall I get you something?"
Jessie smiled. "Yes please, thank you Mercy, I'm starving."
"Do you... want to change? Katherine?" Jessie asked.
Katherine laughed ruefully. "Some days I'm so convinced I should." She shook her head. "I sometimes wish I was more like you." She said.
"That's new, did something happen last night?"
"Well I got another note. 'I'm watching you, you look a lot like you're mother' that was not creepy at all." Katherine sighed.
"That's why you're here, you're too scared to go home and be alone." Jessie muttered.
"Can you blame me? Plus I also wanted to talk to Paul, but he was up and out of here like his pants were on fire or something." She sighed.
And Jessie laughed. "Until when are you two going to keep deceiving yourselves that you're friends?"
"Entirely up to Paul at this point. If I was like you perhaps I might have had the courage to confess. But I am not, and I don't know if I have it in me to just change."
"But how is he going to know if you never tell him?"
