Jessica lay in bed, unable to move. Danny was making breakfast and had already showered. She thought about these past days together with Danny. Was it more than with Sam? They had started with an casual affair off set and fell in love with each other.

It was still her only monogamous relationship. Everything before and after wasn't serious. Sam was the love of her life but too egoistic and choleric. He treated her badly, ignored and lied to her. He wasn't worth all the tears anymore.

Danny seemed to be different but for how long?! She needed someone to grow old with and to spoil her granddaughters. Someone who would watch her working in her garden or was helping cooking for her family.

Wasn't she too old for an affair? Jessica felt that the dark thoughts were rushing back towards her. She didn't want to cry but somehow she didn't know if Danny would be the one. He said that he loved her but would it be enough?

Danny stood in the kitchen and smiled to himself. He couldn't believe that Jessica was lying in his bed. They had to go back to work but he would be able to see her the whole day. He couldn't remember the last time he had been this happy. He had very dark years in his life and Olga wasn't his light as he hoped but Jessica could be the one, she could be his last one...

He went upstairs to the bedroom, their breakfast on a big plate. Danny thought she fell asleep again and wanted to wake her softly. He put the plate down on the nightstand and got on the bed, directly behind her.

Danny kissed her neck lovingly and caressed her stomach. "Wake up my love, I made breakfast." Jessica was so deep in her thoughts that she jumped slightly. "You didn't have to do it for me." She smiled and turned around. Danny kissed her softly on the lips and moved on top of her. "But I wanted to..."

They shared an open mouthed kiss and fed each other.

They needed to hurry to get on the set in time but everything went smoothly.

Jessica thought about their dates the whole day. He seemed to be very much in love with her and she trusted him with everything he said to her. He didn't expect to become a daddy again so her age wasn't a problem. Only for her but that didn't count. He wasn't that young anymore either and they looked great together.

She was happy and wanted to BE happy but the darkness followed her everywhere. She needed Shura now. When Jessica arrived at her trailer she called her. "Hey mom, how are you." "Hey baby, I'm fine, how are you and the girls?" Jessica didn't want to start right away with her predicament.

"We are good, you know, the girls are fighting like sisters do but not more than usual... Mom, I can hear that something is bothering you..." Shura has always been aware of her moods and could see right through her. They were quite close and told each other everything.

"I need you help sweety but please don't judge me, I... I need your advice." Jessica was nervous, her last relationship has been with Sam and everything after him hasn't been serious, just casual sex and a couple of dates. This was the first time she fell in love for more than 30 years.

"I don't know where to start..." Jessica stopped, she really didn't know what to tell her. "Mom, just tell me what's bothering you. I promise not to judge you, I never have." Shura was nervous now, it has to be something important.

"Well... I fell in love. And he's gorgeous and everything I could wish for but I don't know why I can't be happy. I love him so much and he loves me, we had great dates and he treats me like a queen but somehow I just can't be happy." Jessica cried now, her tears were running down her cheeks while she sat on her sofa.

Shura had a lot to take in but had an suspicion of what would be the problem. "Mom, I understand why you are feeling this way and to tell you the truth I know excactly how it feels like. You have been with dad for so long and now there is someone else. But you don't have to feel bad, you deserve to be happy and not everyone is such an asshole... Tell me about him!"

Jessica was already relieved, Shura was right, she felt somehow like cheating on him but they aren't together anymore. "Well, he's an actor and... you may know him. It's Danny Huston, my love interest this season. We had fabulous dates and he told me that he loves me already. We got close while shooting but I had a crush on him since rehearsal... and... to tell you the truth I'm head over heels in love with him." Jessica smiled despite the tears.

Shura knew him from photos and tv. She thought he had an sexy voice and that they would look good together. "How far did it went, are you together now or still dating?"

Jessica had to think about it. It was more than just dating but are they a couple now, after such short time?! "I don't know for sure but it's more than just dating."

Shura wanted nothing more for her mom than to be happy but knew that she often thought to much. "Mom, just let it flow. Don't think about dad and everything that happened then. He is an different kind of man and you have to get to know Danny better. Don't think too much, just feel and enjoy yourself."

Jessica thought about it and smiled slowly. Danny hasn't done anything wrong. She owed him to be open minded regarding their future. "You're right but please don't tell anyone about it, I don't know where it is heading and I think it's too early to decide..."

"Ok I won't tell the others but please, stop worrying too much!!" Jessica knew that excactly that was the problem.... "I will, I love you baby, kiss the girls from me." "I will, love you mom."

Jessica sat in her trailer and thought about it, she needs to be open minded. She tried to push the dark thoughts away and started to change in her private clothes.

Someone knocked at her door. "Who is it?" She wasn't fully clothed and didn't want anyone to storm in her trailer. "It's me, Danny." Jessicas stomach made a flip flop and she got nervous like a school girl. "Ok, come in."

Danny needed to see her, he missed her already and wanted to spend some time alone with her. He opened the door and looked at her beauty. She wore black tight jeans... very tight jeans and an black tank top, which showed the swell of her breasts perfectly.

He was in awe and just stared, not able to greet or kiss her. "Damn you look fantastic!" Jessica blushed and started to kiss him softly on the mouth. As soon as Danny felt her lips he grapped her ass and pushed her against him, kneading her behind and massaging her neck.

Jessica opened her mouth, surprised by his eagerness and Danny pushed his tongue inside of her. She could feel his erection against her stomach and moaned softly. "Damn, I missed you all day, just seeing you isn't enough."

Jessica felt... happy and loved... and desired. "I missed you too." Danny looked into her eyes and then down her cleavage. He couldn't wait any longer and took the strap of her top, pulling it down and exposing her breast.

"I think it's time for rehearsal... We will practise now the scene where Fiona rewards the axeman for killing the witch hunters!" Jessica threw her head back and laughed. Only he was able to make her feel this way.
