AN: So I wasn't planning on a sequel to 'One Night Regret' but then SandyLeePotts gave me an idea for one so a big shout out for that. I wouldn't say you HAD to read 'One Night Regret' but it would probably be helpful if you did.

It's Far From Over

Applying a thin layer of lip gloss, Jess smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She and Becker had been officially in a relationship for a week, yet this was going to be their first date. It should have been their second but a complicated creature incursion featuring a flock of Dodo's in an office block, had forced them both to cancel their dinner plans.

"Jess can you hurry up please? Some of us need to pee!"

Blushing, Jess grabbed her makeup bag and pulled the door open. Connor gave her a grateful smile, pushing past her and locking the door. Shaking her head Jess hurried over to her room. Even though she'd had her outfit planned she just wanted to double check. It was only the cinema so she didn't need to dress up. But surely on a first date she should dress up a bit? Plus Becker only saw her in her work clothes, it'd be nice to surprise him. But then she didn't want to overdress. She doubted he would be going overboard. She'd be lucky if he wore something that wasn't black.

"Jess stop it."

"Stop what?" Jess frowned at Abby who was standing by the doorway in her gym clothes. The blonde sighed.

"Stop overthinking this. He won't care what you wear."

Jess paused, "I know. But…I just want to show him I'm the ideal girlfriend. I mean…after what happened with Luke I don't want him getting the wrong idea."

Abby nodded, "Jess everything will be fine. Tell Connor I'll be back in a couple of hours."

Watching her friend go, Jess sighed to herself. It had been over a week since she'd asked Becker out, been rejected, gone out partying and ended up in another guy's bed. Becker had told her it didn't matter, but Jess knew it must still be bothering him. Taking a deep breath she checked her watch.

"Oh my God!"

"Jess?" Connor shut the bathroom door behind him, "What is it?"

"Becker's going to be here in half an hour!"

"I…" shutting his mouth Connor gave a small shrug. Turning her back on him, Jess ran towards her bedroom. She had no real reason to be nervous. She'd known Becker for years. But being his colleague and friend was a lot different than being his girlfriend. Pulling on a pair of dark skinny jeans, Jess slipped a bright yellow halter neck top on and grabbed her favourite black boots. She hadn't worn jeans since that night she and Becker had disarmed the bomb set by Ethan. Not that Becker would remember what she wore that time. Guys never did. Zipping up her boots Jess grabbed her leather jacket and double checked she had everything in her bag. She smiled at it. It resembled a small satchel; except it was bright green. It'd been on so many first dates it was now exclusively her 'dating bag'.

Sitting down on her bed, Jess held the bag tightly in her hands. She'd made a vow to herself, to not bring up Luke or anything else relating to that business. Of course if Becker brought it up that was different. She just wanted the whole thing to be over. Her phone beeped, she didn't have to look to know who it was. However she did anyway, just so she could smile.

Sorry I'm early. Coming up to your flat now xx

Grinning Jess slipped the phone into her bag, jumped to her feet and ran out of her room and towards the door to her flat. She was aware of Connor lounging on the couch, watching her carefully. However she chose to ignore him in favour of opening the door just as someone began knocking on the other side.

"Hi."

Becker smiled at her, "I know I'm early but…I mean I thought about waiting in the car but then um…" he glanced her up and down, "you look great."

"Thanks," Jess eyed his choice of clothes, "So do you. Nice to see you do own items of colour."

Becker wore dark jeans with a white t-shirt and a dark green jacket. He shrugged.

"I wanted to make an effort. Can't have my colourful girlfriend showing me up."

Jess couldn't help but giggle at that. My girlfriend!

"So," Becker cleared his throat, "shall we?"

Nodding Jess glanced back at Connor.

"See you…well some point later. Abby will be back in a couple of hours."

Connor nodded before waving them off. Shutting the door behind her, Jess took Becker's arm and they walked towards the lift.

"I never said I hated action movies Becker!"

"You did! You specifically said "action movies are just guys running round shooting things and showing their muscles off"."

Blushing Jess slipped her hand into Becker's, "Okay so maybe I did. But that one was okay."

"Okay? Jessica you can't call a film like that one 'okay'."

Giggling at Becker's indignant voice, Jess leant against him as they left the cinema. Holding Becker's hand tightly, she could feel his thumb gently stroking the top of her hand.

"Um…so I was thinking. Since we are…together…could I maybe call you by your first name?"

Becker froze and Jess quickly shook her head.

"Not at work obviously. Not even if public if you like. But when we're by ourselves. Forget it. I'm sorry I shouldn't have…it's fine."

"Jess stop," Becker turned her and wrapped both of his arms around her, "I was going to say that you can if you like. Only when we are completely alone though."

Jess nodded, reaching up to kiss him on the lips. Becker's hands cupped her neck as he kissed her back. Breaking apart she smiled.

"You are one good kisser."

He raised an eyebrow, "No need to sound too surprised."

Smiling Jess took his hand again as they started walking.

"By the way," Becker added, "you should wear jeans more. They look good on you."

"Oh thanks," Jess brushed her legs down out of habit, "I just…I wanted to wear something different."

"I didn't know you owned any. Well, not until we had to disarm a bomb of course."

Jess stared at him, "You…you remembered I wore..? I didn't think you had even noticed!"

"Jess I was crazy about you," Becker laughed, "I noticed every little thing about you."

Squeezing his hand Jess carried on walking. As they came to a crossing she leant against Becker. The other side of the street was incredibly busy and Jess was glad she had Becker with her. Even without the army uniform and the guns, people seemed to move out of his way. Narrowing her eyes she focused her gaze on one figure in particular. She could be imagining it but…

"Oh God."

"Jess?" Becker glanced down at her, "What is it?"

"I…" shaking her head Jess followed him as the light went to green and they crossed. As they passed several people Jess turned her head to get a look at the man. However he had slipped in amongst the crowd. Sighing she turned back round to see Becker staring at her.

"Jess are you alright?"

"Yes," she nodded, "I'm fine."

"Okay," Becker took her hand, "Because I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Oh?"

"Yes," he pulled her close, "What happened with you and Luke; I've forgotten about it. I want you to know I'll never mention it, never use it against you if we argue and I won't ever hold it against you. I love you so much Jessica. I just…I needed you to know in case you were still worried about it."

Jess took a shaky breath, "Thanks. I won't lie that makes me feel a lot better."

Becker grinned, "So then. Dinner?"

"Yes, dinner would be great."

As they walked Jess tried to ignore the ferocious pounding in her chest. How on earth did she explain to Becker that she had seen Luke? That he had looked directly at her? She shook her head. She was over reacting. Maybe it had been a coincidence. Maybe it hadn't even been him?

But maybe it had.

Maybe it hadn't been a coincidence.

So hopefully you all like this as much as the first one. Yes we will get to see plenty of protective Becker. Let me know what you think xxx
