Chapter One

I had been working for Torchwood for about two years. And I was usually on time. My roommate Kelly Rose had insisted on cooking me breakfast. Kelly and I had graduated college together it was there that we had developed our relationship. For lack of a better term it is and always will be just a friends with benefit type relationship. I had foreseen it as only being thus.

Oh yes that is the other reason Captain Jack Harkness had asked me to join Torchwood. I had a gift to see things that could happen or may happen at times I was never sure and the first reason was cause I had a gift with computers I could handle them really well. I reached The Hub and hurried in. Ianto Jones handed me a cup of coffee as I ran in. 'Thanks Ianto.'

Gwen Cooper looked over at me and sighed. 'Your late Jack been worried bout you. With all this rift activity lately he was afraid something had happened to you.' I sighed it figured that would be the first thing that came to Jack's mind. 'Hotaru in my office now!' Jack shouted and I winced and Gwen shrugged as if to say, I told you so. I hurried up to Jack's office nodding to Martha Jones our Medical Officer as I moved past her office.

'Jack I am so sorry.' I said as I entered his office and shut the door. 'Kelly insisted on..' But before I could finish Jack had pulled me close and kissed me passionately. Her pale lips caressed mine and I felt complete. Why had I had to wait so long for her? Her kisses so different from anyone else I had kissed and believe me I had kissed many. I felt the fluttering in my heart and the weakness of my knees just aching to give out under me; I never felt the same way with her. She made me feel like well a man in more ways then one.

Once the kiss had ended leaving me breathless always leaving me breathless he was so good at that! He pushed my auburn curls behind my ear and looked into my hazel eyes. 'I was worried sick bout you Hotaru.' He said softly his voice making me melt. No it was not just the heightened pheromones never just that. He always made me melt the other reason Kelly and I were not really in a relationship. I loved Jack and he loved me.

It sort of just happened. Not sure how exactly it just did. Only one who knows bout Jack and I is Gwen. I would not dare tell Martha or Ianto. Won't tell Ianto cause of his history with Jack and Martha I just don't really feel comfortable telling her things yet. 'I am sorry Jack.' I told him as I reached up and caressed his cheek. 'Kelly would not let me leave until I ate something.' Jack sighed and reached up pulling my hand away from his cheek. 'She really cares a lot bout you Hotaru.' I looked deep into Jack's baby blue eyes. 'It is nothing Jack really. It is not what you and I have.' I told him sincerely which I had been telling him for the past two years.

If only I could believe that. Kelly she had Hotaru most of the time. At night when I would rather be with her and be the one she wrapped her arms around at night. I know she loves me but Kelly; I admit I am a bit threatened by her. She knew Hotaru way before I did. They only have that friend with benefit relationship, much like what Gwen and Own had when she first joined. God I still miss him and Tosh. 'Jack, Jack comeback to me luv.' I let my mind wander again I really have to stop doing that.

He flashed me a bright smile. 'I hope not cause then I would be really jealous. I am way more good looking then her.' I laughed his worry diminished for now.

There was a knock on the door and Jack let go of my hand. 'Next time you plan on being late tell your girlfriend she had better let you call us we do have a job to do here.' I tried to keep a straight face as Jack lectured me an act for Ianto who had been the one knocking on the door. 'Yes sir.' I told Jack as he winked at me, which Ianto did not catch.

Damn you Ianto you always come in at the worst times! I watched as Hotaru left the room once Ianto told us bout the weevils. Who look sort of like a human but with really disfigured faces and claws and they survive on eating humans or in this case an alien apparently.

'Jack we have a problem. Weevils in town and during the day something is going down.' Jack and I smirked at Ianto's rhyming he frowned a bit kind of oblivious of what he had just said but that was typical Ianto. 'This is not funny we have to go now.' Jack and I got serious. 'Alright lets go.' Jack grabbed his jacket as we headed out of his office. 'Let's go team Weevils in the town.' Gwen frowned. 'During the day?' She asked and Jack grunted.

'Yes lets go. Martha we will call you if we need you.' Jack called back to her as we headed out the door to find out why there were Weevils in the town during the day.
