This is what the summary says, tell me if you want it to carry on.
Claudia caught Nick watching her from the corner of her eye, but as usual when she turned to look at him his eyes were focused else where.
She was pissed off for certain, it was really annoying. For what reasons exactly, she didn't know. There were times when she felt the searing heat of his gaze on her neck and others when she just wanted to yell "For god sake would you stop ogling me!"
But she didn't, because as much as she wished to do so, there was something in the pit of her stomach that was preventing her from completely losing all sense of professionalism and yelling at some university professor.
So this time, she did what she had decided to do a long time ago…ignore his intensive stares. Yet somehow it was different, she remembered the way his lips had pressed against her own with such urgency and power that it had sent shockwaves flooding through her body. Every part of her alert and feeling the heat of the moment.
Her imagination had run wild with her that night when she finally got home and lay alone in bed. As vivid as she had recalled it, she had lost the sensation of his kiss with time. It wasn't until later that she realised she wanted him do it again, yet go further. She wanted to explore with the feelings he aroused within her. She wanted to be on the tipping point of ecstasy and never come down.
It wasn't until much later that she realised she was in fact in love with Nick Cutter. It wasn't until much later then that she finally realised that her needs and passions went far beyond emotional values, but hid somewhere in physical as well.
Who would have thought it? Claudia Brown was attracted to Nick Cutter in more ways than one. Whether he felt the same way or not was entirely up to him. She wasn't going to hang around forever, and had decided to put every thought, feeling and memory of him behind closed doors. It wasn't that Claudia ever denied herself anything she wanted, it was purely based on the fact that she couldn't afford to fall in love with a man and then realise she yet again had commitment issues, as her ex-fiancé had found out himself.
Nick could see her bare legs from beneath the desk at which she sat. Somehow, just looking at her made him direct his full attention her way. He finally managed to pry his eyes away from her beautifully pale legs and read the computer screen in front of him. It was a matter of seconds though before he once again found himself staring at her, but above not below the desk. She had one of those faces that managed to be attractive with or without make-up.
Nick had often dreamt of her, much to his annoyance. He had always wanted to know what it felt like to have her bare skin graze his, to lock lips with her and not have to pull away so quickly.
In a way he could still feel the ghost of her lips on his own, and he regretted it. Why did he have to do it? Now every waking hour of his seemed to be dedicated to her. He knew why, the answer was he was in love with Claudia Brown…plus the fact that they were being chased by a pack of hungry fly dinosaurs and he thought that he might never see her again.
Give or take the chance of kissing her again, he would…undoubtedly, but he wouldn't stop there. Knowing Nick Cutter, he'd take things a lot further. You didn't need to get pissed to feel drunk, in fact, Nick Cutter was in danger of having to have his stomached pumped because he was drunk on his own feelings for Claudia. He had no idea of what was right and what was wrong, no sense of direction.
Finally finished with his work, Nick stood up and left. Despite how he felt, he couldn't stand another tense moment with the woman.
Claudia watched him leave and gave a sigh of relief; at last she could get some work done today.
'Claudia?' Lester's head appeared around his office door, 'Where's Cutter?'
'He just left…why?' she asked, not really paying much attention. She still had a lot of paper work to do.
'Oh, nothing, I just wanted to talk about the theory of evolution. Why do think!?' Lester's sarcasm didn't come as a shock to anyone, 'an anomaly's re-opened and you lot have the bloody mind of a primitive ape! Can't anyone find that good for nothing-'
'I'm on it,' Claudia happily cut Lester off; 'I'll try and get hold of him.'
-
Nick lay on his sofa, shoes kicked off in the corner. His phone once again began to ring. He picked it up and read the caller ID. Claudia. He put it back down on the coffee table and stared at the ceiling. Something wasn't right at all, he didn't know what but he felt that he shouldn't get involved.
It was the ringing of his doorbell a few minutes later that signalled to him that Claudia had lost her patience. Nick opened the front door reluctantly.
'Why haven't you been answering my calls?' Claudia looked furiously at him from his doorstep.
'Something's not right-'
'Tell me about it, there are dinosaurs roaming in the forest of Dean.' She said, grabbing his arm and attempting to drag him down the steps.
'Claudia, listen to me...' He stopped and realised she had changed, she was no longer wearing a pencil skirt, heels, blouse and jacket, but beige trousers, a t-shirt and thin white jacket over that, '…you changed.'
'Well come on, I'm not exactly going to walk around the forest of Dean in heels like last time.' She grimaced, remembering the first time she met him.
'Fine, I'll go. Nothing disastrous can go wrong; well…I'd rather not go there.' He muttered as he slammed his front door shut and followed Claudia to her waiting car.
