Star-Crossed Lovers

Summary:  In response to Nicky's challenge. Thank you for giving me something to do! AU fic, so throw everything you know about the show out the window.  Katie and Jessie are destined to be together, but all signs point to no.  Katie has just gotten home from a year abroad. She bumps into Jessie one day and it's love at first sight. Their father's both own prestigious restaurants and their families have been competing for over three generations. This doesn't stop them from loving each other, so angst is a given...
Rating:
 few curse words thrown in. Nothing to bad. Overall it's PG, borderline PG-13.
Disclaimer:
I don't own anything except the angst. Or at least my own anyway.
Author's Notes:

PART 1

Jessie trudged forward letting her feet guide her as she tiredly made her way to her father's restaurant. It had been a long day at school.  Finals were coming up and she had been up all night studying.  It was hard to get through her classes without collapsing on the desk at any opportune time that she felt like.  In a zombie like state, she mused to herself that she could probably make this journey from school to the restaurant with her eyes closed, which she desperately wanted to do at the moment.  'One day I'm going to master the art of sleeping while standing,' she jokingly thought to herself.  She shut her eyes briefly.  When she opened them she noticed someone walking towards her, and slightly off balance she tried to veer away from them.  But in her drunken-like state of sleepiness, she only managed to trip on her own feet as her books flew in every direction and papers scattered everywhere.  The person who had been coming toward her quickly caught her with a cat like grace in which she knew that she would never be able to muster even if she tried.  Caught in the stranger's embrace she blushed furiously, "Oh my god! I am sooo sorry. I'm such a klutz."

The girl chuckled slightly, "it's okay. I'm always up to saving a damsel in distress." She pulled back slightly and stared in awe at the, 'damsel' in question. She was one of the most beautiful girl's she had ever seen.  She caught herself staring and blushed slightly.  She quickly hid herself behind her long hair and bent down to pick up the other girl's papers.  Jessie followed.  Together they quickly picked all of them up and Katie fumbled to her feet.  "Oh gosh, where are my manners.  Name's Singer.  Katie Singer."  She held out her hand.

But the other girl wasn't looking at her.  She looked at the restaurant across the street, which was proudly labeled, "Singer's" and then quickly looked up towards the sign of the restaurant that they were both standing in front of, "Sammler."  Her eyes darted back and forth between both signs before settling on the girl and then to the girls extend hand.  Katie was one of the most beautiful girl's she has ever seen.  Her stomach was doing flip-flops from just the proximity of the other girl.  She sighed and took the other girls hand to shake it, "Nice to meet you Katie Singer."  With that, she turned and walked into the family restaurant.

Both girls were still marveling at the other girls touch, and how electric it was.
