Jemma's Pov:

Tonight is Halloween and I'm setting up for the Spooktacular Party at The Zone.

The last few weeks were hectic. I ran and was elected treasurer for student government. I had a restraining order put on Mrs. Green. The school had a trespass order issued to her as well. Michael got the okay to sign off on my make up hours from Mr Erickson. So that's all taken care of.

Michael and I took Jen and Justin out to lunch to catch up and to play miniature golf.

 Skip was true to his word and texts everyday and calls at least every other. He can't talk for very long or about the specifics but Michael's just glad he's doing okay and has relaxed a little.

Michael and I have been doing great and I fall more in love with him every day. 

His mom calls once a week to get a status update on her grandbabies. The first time I heard that was when Michael and I were eating breakfast and he had it on speakerphone because she wanted to talk to both of us.

I had taken a drink of orange juice and ended up spraying it out all over Michael when she said that. 

Oops. Michael face palmed and hung the phone up.

He laughed and said "See that's what I was talking about when I said she was crazy!"

Michael and the Zone Crew have been helping me set up the entire club. I have a bunch of little activities set up and a mini haunted house area in the back corner. I haven't given out the costumes yet.

I have different ones for everyone. The bouncers are all gonna be dressed like old school mobsters. Blue is going to be topped off with a crap load of fake bling and a flashy grill to match.

The DJ is wearing a flamingo head and hot pink jumpsuit. Scott is going to rock a Jack Sparrow costume cause he'll look hot in it.

Tom and Susan get the dorky teacher and hot catholic school girl costume

. Michael is going to be a Sheik and I'm a harem girl. Tina is coming as a naughty soldier! Hehe tonight is going to rock.

I handed out all the costumes and we all went to different areas to change.

"Sweetheart, I'm not wearing this. I'll look stupid. There isn't even a shirt. " Michael whined as he pulled out the vest top.

"No Sex-Nip, You'll look sexy as hell and I'll have to keep close so no one tries molesting you!"

I can't wait to see him in that get up.

"When are you going to show me yours?" he asked eyeing my bag.

"Well I have a few last minute things to do but you'll see it soon." I winked and walked out to check on Tina and Susan.

"Jems I can't believe you want me to wear this!" Susan laughed and tugged at her mini skirt.

"Pshh you are one hotttt mama! I hope my body looks this smokin when I'm your age Susie!" Tina gushed.

"Yep! I bet Pop's is gonna wanna keep the outfit!" I teased.

Susan blushed and giggled "I still think you and Michael should have done the student teacher thing. I mean hello" She teased.

"They would but since they do that normally Jems wanted to shake things up" Tina joked.

I chuckled and nodded my head in agreement. "Exactly, besides I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make Dad look goofy!" I joked but Tina and Susan didn't laugh.

Susan threw her arms around me. "You just called Tom dad!! You have no idea how happy that makes me."

I laughed and hugged her back. "I've already told y'all that I always thought of y'all as my parents. It's just habit that I still call y'all Pops and Mummy"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The club just opened for the night and I made my way to the main room. I was checking out my hard work and was pleasantly surprised it all looked so great. I walked to the bar to see if Scott needed help.

"Damn, Damn, Damn... You're looking sexy as sin!! Kinda makes me wish I was straight." Scott ran his eyes over my belly dancer harem girl costume.

"I cant wait to see Mike's reaction! I bet we'll have to bring a mop out to clean up all his drool!!" He stated with a completely serious look.

I laughed and hopped over the bar. "Have you seen him yet? His costume matches mine" I smiled at his expression.

His mouth dropped open and he didn't blink. 

I waved a hand over his face.

"I take back my earlier comment! I love that I'm gay! Cause that man of your's is beyond sexy! Think he'd ever give a hot bartender a chance?"

He kept staring over my shoulder so I turned around. OMG he looked even hotter then I expected.

He walked up to the bar and hopped over to join us. He looked at Scott and I and laughed. "You guys can stop staring. You're making me conceited!"

He pulled me into his arms and gave me an amazing kiss. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around him.

"Ughh why cant I find a man like that" Scott grumbled to himself.

I giggled and slid off of Michael. "You like?" I asked doing a little twirl.

His eyes glazed over and he shook his head "I love! You look.. god you look so hot!"

 I laughed.

Michael, Scott and I had practiced a juggling routine with the liquor bottles. We danced and tossed them back and forth and juggled them high in the air. The crowd loved it and the tips kept piling into the tip jar.

Michael and I coasted from one station to another. Helping out with the activities and even demonstrating for the crowds. A few women hit on Michael but he never flirted back and always said he was taken.

A few men tried picking me up and I politely declined their offers. It was almost closing time and the crowd had thinned to almost nothing. I was back at the bar to help Scott start cleaning since it was last call.

"Hey there hot stuff how bout you show me how well you can work that body" Some middle aged creep said.

I laughed "Not gonna happen buddy!"

I turned around and felt a really hard smack to my ass.

 Ughh I hate drunken pervos.

 I whipped around and glared "If you like that hand I suggest you keep it to yourself!" I growled out.

"Okay baby I'll keep that to myself but I got something else I can give you" He smacked his lips and raised his other hand to try and grab me.

Scott jumped over the bar. "Hands off ass-wad the lady already said she wasn't interested!" He yelled.

"Her mouth may be saying no but her body is screaming fuck me!" The creep yelled. drunkenly slurring his words.

I smiled and shot a look at Scott. "Is that so? My body screams fuck me?" I asked in a sweet voice.

He smiled and took a step closer and nodded "It sure does baby and I'm just the man to do it."

I ran my eyes over his disheveled body and laughed loudly. "You must be mistaken. My body is screaming fuck off! So how bout ya listen and get the fuck out of my club before you end up hurt!"

I turned to leave and felt a sharp pain on my head from my hair being pulled. Before I could react it was gone. I spun around and saw Michael and the creep going at it. The creep was no match and Michael laid him out.

"You don't ever lay a hand on a woman in violence!" He growled at the creep. The music cut off and overhead lights came on.

He turned around and walked towards me. "You okay Love?" he asked.

I nodded. I had never seen Michael so pissed off.

 "Are you? Did he hit you anywhere?" I asked looking for signs that the bastard might have gotten a lucky shot in.

He rolled his eyes and pulled me to him. Just as we were about to kiss the creep tackled Michael from behind sending him crashing into me and me into the wooden bar hitting my head.

I heard Blues voice yelling "You better hope she's okay or I swear you're dead"

Then the creep yelling that "She was asking for it. That's what slutty teases like her get."

There was some grunts and then Dad was trying to calm Michael down. The last thing I remember was Michael's worried voice calling my name.

Something reeked! I jerked forward and my eyes popped open. My vision swam and head throbbed. I pushed the offending smelling thing away with my hand.

"Oh thank god!" was chorus by everyone.

I went to lay back down. I just want to sleep, I'm so tired. Michael tapped my cheek and shifted me into his lap so I couldn't lay down.

"Ughh Mike I'm too tired to fool around" I whined.

 I heard laughs and felt slight shaking from Michael's chest. My head felt like it was going to explode.

"Sweetheart you need to stay awake. You hit your head pretty hard. The ambulance will be here in just a minute to check you out."

I sighed and blinked my eyes "You're so pretty. I mumbled.

"Thank you Love. So are you. Now come on, try and keep your eyes open for me baby."

I opened them and focused on his face. "That's right baby, just like that"

I giggled and said "That's what she said"

He laughed and stroked my hair. "God Jems You had me really worried!" he kissed my eyelids and I smiled.

I felt myself being lifted. The ambulance took me to the hospital to check me out. I had a slight concussion. Nothing too bad, I just cant sleep tonight.

It sucks that tomorrow is Monday. Oh well I'll survive. I've gone to school with no sleep before.

When we walked out into the waiting room when I was released everyone was there. "She's alive!!" Scott screamed.

Michael chuckled next to me and stepped back so everyone could take turns hugging me. "I'm okay guys just a little bump. That's all."

By the time we got home it was a little after 4. We changed and cuddled on the couch. Michael buried his face in my neck and sighed happily.

"Jemma those 10 minutes you were out were the scariest of my life. You have no idea how worried I was. If Tom wouldn't have stopped me I think I'd still be beating the crap out of that asshole." He muttered darkly.

I rubbed his back to comfort him. "I know you were worried but I'm a tough cookie. It's gonna take more then a little bump to take me down for the count! What happened to the creep?" I asked remembering I hadn't seen him on my way out.

"Umm I couldn't say... There was a toss up between taking him out back and beating his ass some more or calling the cops on him. Blue was the one that decided so.." He trailed off.

"Right gotcha. I'm hungry wanna go get an early breakfast?"

He laughed and pulled me up. "How bout Ihop for my tough cookie? By the time we get back it'll be late enough that you can sleep."

We had just finished our pancakes and I was gulping down my chocolate malt.

"Come on Sweetheart, You cant go to school, you just got released from the hospital a few hours ago! I'll even call in and stay with you if you want! You need to rest, you wont be able to function if you haven't had any sleep!"

"You don't need to worry Sex-Nip! I'll be fine. I've gone to school plenty of times with no sleep and really it's just down to a dull ache. Don't worry so much. If you keep this up you're gonna go completely grey by the time you turn 25. You go home and rest and I'll see you after school."

He sighed "Of course I'm worried about you! I love you and you were just in a damn hospital! Is there anything I can do to change your mind? If you're going to school so am I!"

I smiled at his little rant. "Then let's go, I wanna take a long hot shower before I go. I'll make you a compromise. If I get overtired I'll go crash in Sully's office. okay?"

I'm not surprised Tina didn't show up this morning. That girl is a down right demon if she gets less then 7 hours of sleep! I made my way to first period and sat at Michael's desk. I'm starting to regret coming and school hasn't even started yet.

The bell rang and Michael walked in with two large coffees. He set mine down and wrote on a sticky note while he told the class what section to turn to and instructions. He pulled it off and slid it in front off me. The note said:

I know I'm not supposed to worry but I love you and I do. I made the coffee just the way you like it. It'll give you a little pep. If you feel like napping just go into my office. The key is in my left top drawer. Please take care of yourself, Love.

I chugged the coffee down and got on his computer. I'm thinking about planning a trip for the two of us. Maybe over Thanksgiving break. I had just decided on Las Vegas and was checking into flights and hotels when a knock at the door interrupted Mike's lecture. He walked to the door and peered out. He had a short conversation and popped his head back in.

"Jemma could you come here for a second? And bring the office key." I nodded and closed the website out then grabbed his key.

He turned to the class "I'll be back in a moment. Just continue on page 176."

We walked out and I saw Officer Donald Keef.
