It's been too long. Working without Jack. Being pushed to the sidelines and handed someone else to work with. Don't get me wrong, I know I can't always work with him, but when he pushes me away it hurts like there's no tommorrow.
My hand grabs his arm. I know he felt the spark. Even if he tries to deny it, I saw that he felt it too.
I drop my fingers, not wanting anyone to see the simple interaction between the two of us.
It's been so long since he's touched me. So long since his hand grazed my shoulder, getting my attention. I know he's trying to be more careful and trying to reconcile with his wife. I need his reassuring touch though. I crave it. Maybe I crave it now more then ever because I know it's not mine to have.
He tried to rest his hands over mine in a simple yet genuine gesture. He couldn't seem to do it though. Almost as if touching me would burn his skin. His reluctance only made my heart ache more for him.
I saw the way he looked at me at the conference table. I know I was acting slightly flirty, the way my eyes met his and I toyed with my hair.
It's been so long I forgot his reaction. I forgot what it would feel like to have him respond.
Maybe we could go back to our old ways. Even after the affair, we never let work interfere. Only after I was shot with my own gun, did Jack pull away. Only when I needed him the most was he not there. Yes he came in, traded his life for mine, but after that he slipped from my outstretched grasp and managed to get away. He was once tangled in the cobwebs, perhaps he's managed to escape.
I feel my heart flutter wildly when he tells me we'll be working together. I know I shouldn't be this excited, but I feel like maybe we can go back to the way things were before the shooting. Maybe we can confide in one another, without destroying our lives.
Maybe, just maybe he'll let me back into his heart. Then again, isn't that what started this mess?
