Authors note;
First time writing a Jake and Sherry. I know it's short and seems kind of rushed but..hey. I tried!
Critisizim is much appreciated [of all kinds ]
RE6 does not belong to me, belongs to Capcom.
At this point in the mission I wasn't sure if I was still doing this for my orders, or if I was truely starting to develop feelings for him.
It's strange, he, of all people should be the one person you should never try to get close to. He's like a china doll in a china store that sits in it's box on the top shelf. You enter, and as soon as your eyes meet it, you want to touch it..and hold it..and just see what it feels like. The frabric of it's dress and shoes, the way it's hair curls down it's shoulders..man. I can't believe I'm thinking about him this way!
I began to run behind him. Since we met, for him it has been all about the money. Even after I told him about how the antibodies inside him could save the world..he still wanted money. And honestly at the beginning of it all? I was just doing my job. So could I really, really, blame him? No. I couldn't. As we ran I reloaded my triple shot with 9 millimeters. He stopped, leaning on a wall at a corner. He faced me, and gave a bried nod before turning and aiming his gun in the dark hallway. I jumped from around him, aiming my gun as well. A few J'avo jumped up from behind boxes and within minutes he was running past me to give a quick, fierce melee kick to one of their heads. I fired a few rounds into the guy next to him before aiming for the last guy. I watched the guy he was handling dissolve after a few more kicks. He turned to the last guy as I delivered a the finishing bullets to the J'avo's brain. He looked towards me, give me a wink and kept on running. Jake was such a hard guy to understand, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's true. I never spent the time trying to understand a man. Yes, if you were wondering I had been asked out plenty of times in my short adulthood but never did I try to understand them. Usually I would shoot them down, feeling my job was too risky to have the baggage of a relationship. Or maybe I just wasn't ready to open up to anyone. The only people I truely trusted were Claire and Leon.
Even if they were my partner, and that had happened once or twice before, I couldn't use the normal excuse. Instead, I used the " I'm not ready, I just got out of a bad relationship. " excuse, the other, I actually tried but..didn't work out. I broke up with him a day later when I actually thought about what I was doing. People had told me to try for Leon, not only was he way older than me..but I saw him as more of a father figure after Raccoon city.
Anyway, as I was busy day dreaming, Jake was busy running way ahead of me. The sharp, gruffness of his voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
" You coming Sherry? "
" Uh, yeah! " I ran to catch up and ended up tripping over my own two feet. I stumbled forward and in a last ditch effort tried to run the toe of my boot against the groun to try and stop the inevitble, humiliating fall. Instead, Jake reached his arms out to catch me and in a stroke of dumb luck he tripped himelf with his super human reflexes and we fell to the mucky, cement, ground. I was on top of him of course, as usual romance movie style. My eyes widened, frozen above him.
" Well, well, super girl. Looks like the powers failed us. "
A blush flew across my cheeks turning them so bright red that I felt my face on fire.
" Super girl blushes too?
Oh that smirk. Was I melting? I quickly jumped off, straightened my clothes and tried to subtly hide my face. I looked away.
" No. You're insane. Maybe all that virus went to your head. "
He noded. I started to walk away with a " Hmpf! "
" Girls will be girls. " He laughed before following after me.
The end.
