Ianto Jones typed furiously on the keyboard, steeling himself as Jack who was currently driving the SUV, sped around a sharp corner, earning a few shouts of protest from the passengers in the back. To say his relationship with the Captain was unpredictable was an understatement, Jack could be both hot and cold and if Ianto was honest it was starting to wear thin, he liked Jack and knew they would be great together but he wasn't prepared to waste anymore time on the Captain if he wasn't sure if this relationship was something he was prepared to try at. Sighing to himself, as the computers tucked themselves away and they stopped the car, outside the building, Ianto's breath caught in his throat and as the others scrambled out of the car, he stilled not moving just staring ahead at the officer currently talking to Jack, detailing him on the situation. Regaining control of his senses he jumped out of the car, and called out the name that caused memories of their nights together flooding into his mind, "Chelsea!" his team looked at him, as did Chelsea, it was a few seconds before it registered who he was, as she smiled indicating that the team could enter the building she hurried to Ianto, he gladly met her half way, totally unaware of the curious looks of his team, especially Jack. The only thing he could see was her, as she jumped into his awaiting arms and embraced him, laughing slightly, after a minute she pulled away remembering that she was meant to be looking professional,
"Ianto Jones…it's been a long time," she smiled slightly, the smile that he used to dream about, and if he was honest still did at times, "Too long," she added, glancing at the SUV she raised an eyebrow, "Who would of guessed you'd be involved with the team that most cops round here hate," Ianto laughed slightly,
"Who would of guessed you would turn out to be a cop, what happened to Australia," he asked, Chelsea shrugged slightly,
"Life changes…people change," she added quietly, Ianto frowned slightly, as Chelsea turned and acknowledged one of the officers when they said they were leaving, "I'll walk, see you there," she waved, turning back to Ianto, she noticed his look, "Hey don't think to much on it, so how's life going for you, you got that special someone to spend the rest of your life with yet?" Ianto looked down, he looked back up towards the building were Jack had gone, and shrugged,
"Might have, not too sure yet," he said honestly, "You?" he ignored the nagging hope that she hadn't, Chelsea shook her head,
"No not me, I work to much…I know shocker right," she laughed, Jack and the others left the house and headed towards the two, back towards the car,
"Right we're done here," said Jack, coming to a stop in front of Chelsea and Ianto, Chelsea frowned at the look she received, not snotty but cold, ignoring it, she smiled at Ianto,
"Well I have to get back to work, here's my card with my number, give me a call later we'll catch up," she said, handing him a small card, Ianto smiled and took it, still not noticing the looks the team were exchanging, "It was good to see you," she added, leaning up she pecked him on the cheek and began to walk away, when her radio crackled, 'All units calling all units, hostage situation on the east side of bakers road, number 24, please proceed to destination,' Chelsea turned and winked at Ianto before she started running, surprising the others with her speed. Jack looked at Ianto then went to the car, Gwen smirking walked beside Ianto,
"So I take it she was an ex-girlfriend," it was more a statement than a question, Ianto laughed
"And what gave it away?" he asked, Gwen shrugged, as she reached the car,
"Oh please, there was enough sexual tension there to heat a city," she smiled, surprising Ianto who turned back in the direction Chelsea had ran before sliding into the car, sparing no glance at Jack, all his thoughts on the girl he had just met, the girl who he had loved…
"Ianto no stop…please…" exclaimed a younger Chelsea, a younger Ianto Jones currently had her pinned to the bed tickling her sides, as Chelsea unsuccessfully tried to escape, Ianto laughed,
"Not until you say it love," he answered, Chelsea laughed, tears in her eyes
"Fine…you're the best!" she exclaimed, Ianto finally relented and stopped, Chelsea looked at him, "That wasn't fair you know how ticklish I am," she scolded trying her hardest to look serious, Ianto smirked,
"Always get my way when I do that though don't I," he leaned over and kissed her, Chelsea smiled, as she snaked her arms around his back pulling him closer, then almost skilfully, she flipped them both over so she was now on top and smirked down at him,
"And that is all I have to do to get my own way," she whispered, leaning over Chelsea kissed him again, sighing happily as Ianto ran his hand through her hair, a weak spot for her, their kissing grew more passionate and needy each second, but was cut off when Chelsea's house phone rang, groaning in frustration she rolled off the bed, sparking a call of protest from Ianto, smiling she walked into the kitchen and answered the phone, "Hello…oh hey Janet…what are you serious," she exclaimed, Ianto curious, had came into the kitchen and snaked his arms around her so her back was against his chest, burying his head into the crook of her neck he inhaled her scent, passion fruit "Well that's great…erm well I'll call you back tomorrow, I'll have to think on it for a bit," hanging up the phone, she manoeuvred herself around so she was facing Ianto,
"And who was that?" he asked, Chelsea smiled,
"It was Janet, my old tutor, she offered me a job," she said, Ianto smiled, "It's in Australia," she finished, and the smile dropped off Ianto's face,
"Oh," was all he said, as he pulled himself out of Chelsea's embrace, and went and leant on the side, Chelsea sighed, "Are you taking it?" he asked, knowing full well it had been a dream of hers since she was younger,
"Not if you don't want me to," she said quietly, Ianto looked at her, of course he didn't want her to go, she would be away from him, but keeping her here just because he couldn't stand being away from her would be selfish, so instead he smiled,
"Of course I want you to go, it's something you've always wanted," he answered, Chelsea looked back up at him her eyes glazed with unshed tears, walking forward she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly,
"I love you," she whispered, Ianto pulled back and looked at her, brushing the hair out of her face,
"I love you too," he replied, kissing her, "Besides it's not like we won't see each other," Chelsea nodded. Little did either of them know that after she left they would never see each other, because Ianto was soon to be recruited by Torchwood.
Ianto sat with the other members of Torchwood at a table in the office, all eating a Chinese he as always was quiet, and this time his thoughts rested on that day, and the girl he had loved, the same girl who brought him out of his shell, made him feel important and made him feel like he could do anything even save the world if he wanted. Chelsea had been the only girl to do that to him, the only other person who had come close to her was Lisa, whom he had loved, but could've never given his heart 100. Making a decision to call her, he stood abruptly and everyone around him stopped talking, Jack raised an eyebrow, "You okay?" he asked, Ianto looked at him, and nodded,
"Just need to make a phone call, see ya," and without giving the Captain or the team another glance, he headed out, dialling Chelsea's number into his mobile, he pressed call and waited,
"Hello!" came her voice, Ianto smiled,
"Hello…Chelsea it's me Ianto,"
"Ianto…hey I'm glad you called," she smiled the other end, it was an answer that made him smile, a genuine one and gave him a spark of hope, for what he was unsure….
