Next day, Jessica determines to go to Dante's house to break up with him.

She wakes up not too early in the morning, chooses what to wear to go break up with Dante.
Jessica: [It's Sunday, I guess I'll go casual, anyways, it's not a date] I put on a long sleeve plain white shirt, my favorite Derek Lam 10 Crosby hot pants and a pair of ankle boots. I look at the mirror, I look great, well, time to go to the sour moment]

Jessica goes to Dante's place and knocks. Dante opens after a few knocks, he seems surprised, Jessica scans him quickly, black silk shirt, levis and black Reeboks.
Jessica: "May I come in".
Dante: "Sure, sorry".
Jessica: "What you did yesterday hurt me a lot, you know, not only the fact you did it, but the trust that was starting to grow, it broke what could be and now it can't be anymore".
Dante: "What do you mean? It's no big deal, I tried explaining after the movies, but you didn't even let me talk".
Jessica: "There was not much to talk, what you can see you don't ask".
Dante: "But..."
Jessica interrupts: "I thought it overnight and all day yesterday Dante, this is over, I cannot trust you and a relationship is built on trust".
Dante's eyes start to sparkle, Jessica seems in shock.
Dante: "Please leave".
Jessica: "I haven't finished, we need to get this over with".
Dante: "Go now,"
Jessica: "I know I am breaking up with you, but I want you to understand why and let you know..."
Dante throws himself in Jessica's arms, Jessica stumbles with the sudden weight on her, but she reacts instinctively holding Dante in her arms.
Dante buries his face between her left shoulder and her neck and whispers with a shaky, whispery voice: "I'm sorry".
Jessica is frozen in shock. She has Dante's trembling body in her arms, feeling his warm tears on her neck, she doesn't know how to react.
Dante: "I'm sorry, I wanted you to leave so you didn't see me like this".
Jessica reacts, she tightens the hug for a few seconds, then moved away from him, still holding him by his shaking shoulders. "Don't make this harder, please". Seeing his tear streaked face is making everything harder. She tenderly cups his face in her delicate hands and slowly wipes his tear streaks, a couple of tears start to roll down the middle of his cheek and the inner corner of his other eye. Jessica wipes the tear from the inner corner, allowing the other one to roll down all the way to his chin.
Dante closes his eyes, sending tears down several streams, two from the middle of both cheeks, one parallel to the other one, both outer corners also had a fresh stream, and both inner corners had tears running down as well. Dante tried to lean on her shoulder again, but Jessica stopped him, thinking he was going to kiss her, she kissed a tear from the middle of his cheek, holding him at that distance. Dante opened his eyes, in shock, he had never experienced having his tears kissed.
Jessica froze, hinting what she had done. Dante remains in silence, his eyes sparkling, tears slowed down.
Dante: "I am really sorry, I am embarrassed I broke down in front of you, it had never happened before, but losing you, even though it's a short time we have been together, I felt overwhelmed." Dante sees tears starting to fill Jessica's eyes.
Jessica: "Dante, I didn't want this to happen, I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm sorry for making you feel so bad, it's not my intention, but I had to let you know where we stand." Tears are at the brim, Jessica's eyes are about to overflow, yet, she is trying to contain her tears inside.
Dante: "I'm sorry if I sounded rude when I told you to get out, the fact is I didn't want you to see me cry over you".
Jessica: "We can still be friends". A tear escapes each of her eyes, quickly rolling down from her eyes to her chin.
Dante places his hands on Jessica's shoulders and closes the distance, bending his elbows: "Even though it breaks my heart, I don't know if I could continue seeing you knowing I have no chance of being with you, it would keep opening the wound, I don't think it's a good idea to keep seeing each other". Jessica's tears started to flow, several tears adorned her beautiful face, she had two perfect streaks down the middle of each cheek, one closer to the inner corner, one closer to the outer corner half an inch apart from each other, as well as a tear on the outer corner of her right eye and a tear on the inner corner of her left eye.
Jessica: "Believe me, I didn't want this to happen". A tear from the outer corner of her eye rolled halfway down her face and dropped, landing in Dante's arm, Dante suddenly looked at his arm, seeing a tear was rolling down his forearm towards his elbow.
Jessica turned to see what he was seeing, and blushed seeing her tear roll down his arm.
Dante, walked Jessica to a one person couch and sat her there, kneeling in front of her, never losing physical contact.
Jessica sat on the couch not knowing what to expect.
Dante: "Please Jess, think it over, I know I am not perfect but I would never stab you on the back, I would never be unfaithful, I would never cause you to cry (at this point he wipes her entire face with the pads of his fingers), trust me one more time, please".
Jessica is stunned, nobody outside of her family had ever wiped her tears, she didn't know what to say, how to feel, she lost the purpose of the visit now. She was brought back to reality when she felt her quads sink as Dante supported his hands on her bare thighs to get up.
Jessica: "I don't know what to say, I guess I'll have to reevaluate the situation, Dante, could we at least pause the relationship for 2 weeks? I need alone time to think"
Dante bends, takes her hand and kisses the back of her hand, kisses her knuckles, kisses her wrist, and motions her to get up.
Jessica hugs Dante tightly: "Remember this hug, keep it with you, let's see what destiny has for us".
Dante's eyes start to fill up with tears again, he wipes the remaining tears from Jessica's face, as a leftover tear slips down her right eye. Jessica tried to wipe it away, but Dante was quicker, he kissed her tear from her cheek, he smiled and said: Jess, never forget this kiss, I love you with all my heart and this is just a little bit of what could be for the rest of your life, I swear that I will never make you shed a tear, and if life has tears for you, I will take care of them all, I won't let your beautiful face be tear stained, I will wipe and kiss your tears for as long as I live".
Jessica: "I have to leave, be safe, hope you feel better."

Jason is playing chess online to get his mind distracted from Rebecca, his parents had gone to visit some long time friends, Jason and Jessica didn't go because they had plans with their significant others, they didn't expect otherwise. Jason was extremely concentrated in the game, this was an important match, it was against an Eastern European opponent, he almost spent his 90 minutes, until he finally finishes his opponent with a Stamma mate. Little time did he have to celebrate his promotion to National Master when Jessica arrives swiftly, yet stealthily, seems she didn't want to be noticed, but Jason heard her erratic breath.
Jason: "Jess, why so quiet?", Jessica starts walking faster to her room, Jason stops celebrating, getting a bit concerned about his beloved sister and goes after her.
Jessica is about to reach the door to her room when Jason scoops her up, carrying her like a kidnapper, with her upper body across his shoulder on his back and both arms holding her legs.
Jessica struggled to get out of the hold, Jason held her thighs firmly, her calves hit his arms with the struggle, he took her to the living room, gently dropped her on the large sofa and he sat right next to her, taking the back of her head, caressing her hair and smoothly moving her face to him, he placed his other hand on the middle of her thigh, softly caressing it and squeezing it gently, letting her know with non verbal language she had to accept her brother take care of her.
Jason: What's wrong Jess?
Jessica: I want to be alone in my room, I need to think.
Jason: "Come on Jess, do you think you can think in the state you are now?"
Jessica trying to be clever: "What do you mean, in Colorado?"
Jason: "Haha, very funny little girl, Colorado is the color of your eyes, cheeks and tip of your nose, don't take me for stupid, that honestly bothers me, do you think I can't see the stains in your makeup?" He slowly caresses a very faint track of a tear that had run down her cheek, following it from below her eye, down her cheek, took a turn down her neck, and Jason kissed where the stain ended and said, here, either wiped it or absorbed by something.

Jessica blushed: "I hate when I can't hide my feelings to you, you know. I mean, I love when you comfort me, but at the same time, I don't want to be a burden to you."
Jason: (touching between her breasts) "Your heart says otherwise (her heartbeat starts accelerating) and your eyes never lie, they seek relief, give yourself permission to allow your precious tears to take away your sorrow and pain as they swiftly roll down your cheeks".
Jessica's eyes started to fill with tears: "I don't want to talk about it, yet, I would like to have it off my chest, that has me confused."
Jason, who had his hand still in her thigh, starts soothingly caressing it again and moves the hand from the back of her head to her cheek: "It's ok, you will have a clear mind once you release all the stuck emotions through your tears, (softly caressing her cheek) don't worry, you're safe here, I'll take care of all your tears and hold you while you feel the most vulnerable, I love you, and you know I'll always be here for you."

Jessica's tears overflow her eyes and start to swiftly run down her cheeks as if not wanting to be catched. 
Jason swiftly uses both his hands to wipe every tear, even having to kiss a few to avoid them going all the way down her face. Jessica seems relieved but there is still some tension in her body.
Jason pats and squeezes both her thighs: "Let it all out sis, trust me, you will have a clear mind and make the best decision, trust me".
Jessica started sobbing and stood up, suddenly sitting on Jason's lap, burying her face in the crook of his neck, brushing her cheek against his every now and then, wiping her tears on him.
Jason holds her athletic body, trembling against his, he softly whispers: "It's ok, let your body react how it needs to, there is no shame or disgust, no matter what you do, this will remain in these four walls, between you and me sis, nobody will ever know what happened".

Jessica, with some effort to calm her mind, allowed her body to take over, her body started to shake more, a wave of tears rushed down her cheeks, wetting Jason's neck and cheek, her lips formed a prominent curl, eventually they broke the hug. Jason wiped all of Jessica's tears, caressing her lips as well: "Good, you are doing a great job letting all out, you will feel depleted and relieved once every negative thought is gone, I'll be here to take care of you". He pats both her thighs one more time, squeezing them as a sign she has to get off of him.
Jessica stand up, Jason stands up after her, wipes her face clean of tear streaks, wiping her neck as well with both hands, giving her a strong hug afterwards. Her face is starting to form a smile, Jason caresses her hair with one hand and her cheeks with the other. Jessica gives Jason a kiss on each cheek.

Jessica: "I feel very tired, I need to sleep." Jason picks her up like a princess and takes her to her bedroom, lying her on her bed. He kisses under her eyes and in the middle of each cheek and goes to his bedroom to rest, the celebration can be postponed.

Two weeks later...

Jason is in the school library sitting with some books in a private desk, the farthest from the corridor, when Rebecca approaches him, he couldn't avoid looking at her, she was wearing a cute white, short sleeve top, a denim mid-thigh skirt and a pair of white with a pink stripe tennis shoes.

Rebecca: "Hi Jason, can I have a word with you?"
Jason: "Hi Rebecca, sure, what do you want to talk about?"
Rebecca: "Us, our relationship, I have been missing you, my body misses you, my heart longs for your presence." I feel my eyes starting to fill with tears.
Jason: "I miss you too Becca, I just want to be sure you won't look for something more with someone else, and from what I can see now, you are telling the truth, come, give me a hug."
Rebecca: "Not here, not now, if I hug you I'll cry".
Jason: I see Becca's eyes are to the brim, tears are about to spill despite her effort "I don't understand, you say your body misses me and want to be with me, yet I want to give you a warm hug, I miss you too, hope you noticed, let me try to understand, you want us to be together, and at the same time you refuse my touch".
Rebecca: I force my tears to not fall with all my will and go to Jason, he stands up and gives me a strong, tight, warm hug. Despite all my efforts, my body shakes with a silent sob.
Jason: I feel Becca's back shudder with a sob as I am hugging her, I feel warm and I am more than willing to get back with her, I break the hug and, as expected, I see four streaks on her right cheek, inner and outer corner of her eyes and a couple more somewhere in between around the middle of her cheek, and three on her left cheek, two parallel tears rolling down the middle of her cheek close to each other and another one almost at the outer corner of her eye. I kiss the two tears almost at lip level on the middle of her right cheek and the one on the outer part of her left cheek, kissing her lips afterwards as I cup her cheeks, wiping her warm tear streaks.
Rebecca: My whole body involuntarily shivers with goosebumps when Jason kissed my tears, tenderly kissing my lips and wiping my tears afterwards, I sigh, full of love and my lips automatically form a smile.
Jason: The kiss ends and I see a stunningly beautiful smile on Becca's face, I sit again and motion her to sit next to me, instead, she sits on my lap staring closely at my eyes.
Rebecca: I am speechless, I don't know why I am being so daring in a library, I am so in love with Jason, I love how he takes care of me; as I am thinking this, I feel his smooth hand softly landing on my thigh, caressing it and softly gripping it. I bury my face in the crook of his neck.
Jason: I don't know why I am being so daring, I couldn't refrain from feeling her athletic thigh as she is on my lap, I feel her face in the crook of my neck and, surprisingly, I start to feel tears dropping on my neck. I caress her hair with my free hand as I keep caressing her thigh with the other hand.
Rebecca: I love when Jason soothes my hair, after a few seconds I lift my face and rub my cheek against his staring at his eyes lovingly, I can see tears are forming in his eyes.
Jason: I had never felt Becca rub her tears against me, I kiss a tear streak from her cheek planting several kisses on her tear streak following all the way down to her tear, this tear tastes different, it's not bitter like the previous ones.
Rebecca: "Jason, I don't know how to thank you for doing this, I have never had anyone kiss my tears, especially with such care and gentleness, let me tell you, these tears are not sad, they are happy tears, I really missed your hugs, I missed your touch, I'm glad you are more confident touching my body, I really really love when you caress my thighs."
Jason: I successfully push tears back in, I am so in love with this sensitive, daring, lovely girl. "I love you Becca, I don't think there is anything I wouldn't do for you, you are the love of my life, I will always hold you, support you with your projects in life, take care of you when life gives you a blow, take care of your tears when you are down and pat your thighs to tell you when it's time to get back up."
Rebecca: "I love you Jason, I'll never do anything to break your heart, I want to be with you my whole life, share goals, your goals will be my goals, I will do all I can to make you happy, please never think otherwise about me."
Jason: I think I won't be able to concentrate in the books again, so I gently pat both her thighs, feeling her defined muscles jiggle with the contact, and motion her to get up.
Rebecca: I get the message, I love the way he tells me to get up by making my thighs jiggle, as soon as I get up, he stands too, places the books in the cart and we head out for lunch.

I loved both chapters very much, but I think I lean towards the Rebecca/Jason chapter a bit more. It just seemed a bit more moving to me.

It was also moving however, when Dante said "I love you so much, it took quite an effort not to break down and cry." I could picture every detail and it gave me goosebumps.

Liked the comforting in this chapter. Didn't seem as intimate to me as in previous chapters, but well written nonetheless.
