As Jack walked out of the ring he felt like he was being watched! He knew she was there but he couldn't find her. He'd had dates before but she was different, the way he felt with her was different it had been a month a whole month! It had to be a record... a sign that maybe she was the one he would settle down with. She had been straight with him from the start she had two girls five and six months, their father long gone. She had said she didn't want him to meet them yet that he would but not till she was ready and sure that he was ready to meet them.
They had met in a bar after a long case the team had been working on had come to a close. Hannah was out with her colleagues when she had caught his eye, she seemed like she didn't want to be their like her mind was somewhere else. Now he knew why. They had started talking when she sat outside her colleagues still drinking wildly singing on the karaoke like wild cats. She was so embarrassed she couldn't believe she was the younger of the team and her colleagues were all over 50. She had blushed as Jack asked her if she would like another drink and her colleagues had all shouted and whistled in their direction. They had talked all evening and when the pub closed they walked and sat by the river, still talking about nothing but it felt so good to just spend time together that when Hannah realised the time and Jack had walked her home she asked if they could meet up again. Jack had of course agreed and they swapped numbers. That night Jack had slept with a smile on his face and was still wearing it at work a few hours later when the first text had arrived. He was pulled out of himself when her arms wrapped around him from behind. He turned and held her tight, he didn't want to let her go but had decided that he wanted her to meet Nikki, Clarissa and Leo. He was going to ask her tonight if she would like to or if she felt it was too soon. He was worried about her reaction and she sensed something was wrong and froze praying that he wasn't going to brake things off with her.
As Hannah stood in front of Jack she realised how much her life had changed in the short time they had known each other. Her ex the girls dad had been good to her untill the younger blonde had taken his eye. Then he became distant worked late all the tell tail signs of an affair she just didn't want to believe it. Since Grace had been born she had lost a lot of weight and stopped looking after herself. The night she met Jack her friend had beautified her and pampered her to within an inch of her former self only now she was stronger and in control of her and her daughters lives, until now when she thought that Jack was breaking things off with her, his face was serious and his eyes were not their normal soft colour she had fallen for a month ago. She felt the colour drain from her face as he looked into her eyes searching her soul for the answer to a question he hadn't asked. All her fears were bubbling under the surface. Hannah felt his lips on hers and couldn't stop her hands from snaking round his back. They hadn't slept together yet, they had kissed and played and teased but never actually been together. Hannah had forgotten by the time Jacks lips trailed down her neck that they were in the changing room and that minuets before she had been petrified that Jack was finishing with her (or so she thought). As Jack pushed her against the wall removing her jacket and she let out a moan, the changing room door swung open and the pair frozen. Jack groaned as Nikki's voice filled the room. He placed his finger over Hannah lips and told Nikki to stay were she was, he was naked, stiffleling a groan as Hannah slipped her had into his freshly changed boxers cupping his throbbing sack and stoking his length with her nails. Nikki had stayed put but still talked to him asking if they were still going out and what was taking him so long to get ready? Hannah stopped what she was doing and removed her hand. Looking at Jack with a questioning look he was confused until he realised what was wrong he smiled.
He shouted to Nikki that he would meet them at the bar when he was ready, and that he had someone he wanted them to meet. As the changing room door closed behind Nikki, Hannah felt that Jack was laughing at her and tried to move away from him, she didn't get far though Jacks arms enveloped her has he found a week spot behind her ear making her legs tremble, she found herself forgetting and remembering all at once that she was upset with him. Hannah sat on a bench listening to Jack explain who Nikki was and that she had absolutely no reason to be jealous at all.
