Chapter 1

It's Valentine's Day, Jack and Ronnie are still separated.

Jack texts Ronnie – look Ronnie I'm sorry for everything okay, but you still own half of this business I just need you to come down to the club to collect some paperwork

Ronnie reads the texts she doesn't want to look weak and agrees to collect it Ronnie texts back – okay yeah, but that's all I'm coming for I've got other things to do Ronnie walks into club

Ronnie – Jack….?

She goes into the office, it has been decorated for Valentine's Day, it is filled with red heart balloons and flowers, Ronnie notices pieces of paper dotted around the room they read… Ronnie, I'm sorry I ever hurt you it never meant to happen… It was a big mistake and I will regret it for the rest of my life… It was a mistake that should never of been made…

Everyone makes mistakes and shouldn't everyone deserve a second chance?…

The truth is Ronnie, you mean the world to me and I really don't want to be without you…

Jack walks into the office

Jack- Ronnie….I love you

Ronnie – You what?

Jack- I…I love you

Ronnie – Jack I don't have time for your stupid games

Jack – This is no game Ronnie, I really do love you

Ronnie – but we haven't known each other for…

(Jack cuts in) - …I know we haven't, and I don't know why I feel this way but I do Ronnie, I need you

Ronnie – well I'm sorry Jack but what you done with Selena

(Jack interrupts again) – was wrong yes I know, but it meant nothing, yes we have a bit of history together but that's in the past, she's moving to France and taking Penny with her

Ronnie – I'm sorry to hear that Jack but it seems that now Selena's gone its ok because I'm here like some sort of back up.

Jack – No that's no it at all, don't you think if I really didn't like you, I'd be moving out to France myself so I could still see my daughter, no Ronnie I'm not it's because I like you so much I'm staying here, I'm choosing to be with you rather than to see my daughter, and that's been a hard decision to make Ronnie but its because I love you.

Ronnie stands there speechless not knowing what to say

Jack takes Ronnie by the hand and pulls her closer

Jack- And I know Ron that you love me too you're just scared to admit it

Ronnie begins to argue back but Jack puts his finger on her lips and tenderly kisses her. They both pull away and look adoringly into each other's eyes and Ronnie then kisses him again. They go back to the flat and one thing leads to another.

Ronnie – I should really be getting back to the pub, they're going to be wondering where I've gone

Jack – You're regretting it already aren't you?

Ronnie- (she smiles lovingly at him) No of course not

She kisses him passionately and he pulls her back down into the bed

Ronnie – No really though I better be getting back

Jack – But it's Valentine's Day?

Ronnie – Yeah I know but I said I'd help out at the Vic but I'll see you later yeah?

Jack – yeah I'd like that, I'll take you out for a meal somewhere if you like?

Ronnie – but what about the club?

Jack – I'm sure Jase and Dawn can take care of it for one night

Ronnie – I really don't think they could, we've got that group of people coming tonight remember?

Jack – Oh yeah I forgot about them

Ronnie – I don't mind working tonight and then after we could come back to yours? (she smiles at him seductively)

Jack – sounds like a good idea to me

Ronnie – but Jack me and you, if it going to happen it's on my terms ok, just between us yeah

Jack – yes ok

Ronnie – I haven't forgiven you for what you've done and to begin trusting you again, well that's another story but lets just see how things go

How will things go at the club?

Will the night go as smoothly as planned?
