Chapter One; Realisation.
-becoming fully aware or starting to accept something.
"So does this mean.. We're together?" He asked curiously, eagerly looking at her, his eyes fixed until he received an answer.
She took a moment to think about it before replying "yeah I guess so" and glancing up at him.
Normally, the hesitation would make him doubt the commitment, but he knew Jac. He knew she was only winding him up and he couldn't hide the fact he was totally satisfied with her answer. A huge smile spread across his face and he slipped his hand into hers and they walked across the car park. Their silence only indicated that they were digesting their news, looking to the future and then remembering theirs pasts.. A lot had changed recently.. Jonny had been well known at his old workplace for getting around. He never really saw the point in love and besides he never learned how to.. Then he had met Jac at a people skill's course and instantly he saw her as another one of his 'targets.' When they had got talking he had realised there was something about her that was different to all the other girls he had been with. She was more independent, more fiery.. Sort of challenging. His past conquests were easily strayed but she was tougher and he liked that. He had felt an instant attraction and after their first encounter, she had left and for once he was the inferior one. This was how his previous girls must have felt; played. Left waiting for more. Of course since then they had met up a further twice, but this was within over a 2 month time period. She had left him to go America on a research trip and although he hadn't said anything, he couldn't hide the fact that he had been gutted. But since her return, they had seemed to grow closer and that was when he had suggested they go away for a weekend, together. He was sure Jac would decline, but she hadn't, she seemed eager.. He was beyond content and she too, felt the same. And there they were, strolling hand in hand across the car park ready to go on their first holiday together.
They reached the spaces where their vehicles were parked. Jac's was her little black bike, her pride and joy. Most people at the hospital drove cars but not Jac. She preferred her bike, the reliable and speedy little bike that made her look tough. It made her stand out because she didn't want to blend in with the crowd. Meanwhile, Jonny had his silver sports car. A flashy BMW with a soft top, the car he had only recently upgraded to and loved to show off. He was sure it was the perfect pulling machine.
They had both agreed to take their own vehicles home and then Jonny would pick Jac up in an hour or so and they would set off for their mini break. Jonny kissed Jac on the cheek before shouting 'see ya in a bit' and hopping into his car while Jac climbed onto her bike. Just as he was pulling out, she accelerated sharply on her bike and shot past him. He laughed, watching her speed off, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry that maybe she should slow down a bit. He had never ridden a motorbike but he saw the way they took corners and cringed as they turned. Unbeknown to him, Jac had actually been in a crash on her bike many years ago. Ever since then, she had been more careful on the road. Perhaps not as careful as she could be but today she wanted to get home. The feeling felt weird and unfamiliar. Jac didn't want it to show too much but she knew she was only eager to get away, just her and Jonny.
