[b]Jessalyn - House - Abram[/b]

Jess tossed and turned, but couldn't relax enough to nap. She was too worried. Worried about Floyd. What they had wasn't exactly a fight, but it hadn't ended very well either. With the way his personality was would he be angry for a while, or at least standoff-ish? She wasn't going to apologize for saying what she felt, but she didn't want things to be awkward between them.
What was she supposed to do? She had no idea how a man's brain worked, how they thought or reacted to things, what got their attention, how to say things so they would understand.

Jessalyn sat up and sighed. She wasn't going to get any sleep, so she might as well get up.
She went back down the stairs. The kitchen was empty, but she could see Abram in the living room. She bit her lip. He was a man. Would he be able to help her with the 'Floyd Situation'?
It was worth a try.

Gathering her courage, she went into the living room and sat in a chair opposite him.
"Abram? May I ask you a few questions? I really need some advice and... well... please don't be offended, but other then Floyd you are the only man I know. I know this is going to sound strange but..." more lip biting. "Could you tell me how a man thinks?"
She realized this probably needed a little more explination.
"You see... I wasn't completely honest with you. I'm sorry. Floyd and I are not... well... together... he is not the father of my baby, but that is another story. Anyway, he treats me like a child. I know I'm in my late teens, but I am not a child. I... really like Floyd... A lot... I might even be falling in love with him. I'm not sure. But the point is I don't know what to do. I want him to treat me like a woman, not a child. As a man, how does a woman get your attention? What is it about a woman that makes you notice her in... that way?" she said, stammering quite a bit. "I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I'm not experienced with this so I'm not sure how to put things."
