I've never had so much love for one chapter in such a short period of time! Gosh, I love you guys! Which is why this one's up earlier than I was planning! I'm so happy you all loved it! And thank you ever so much for all the reviews :D
The day was dragging, it was only midday, and yet, it felt like it should've been around five. So far they had come across no anomalies, and Jess was struggling to get an image of Becker coming closer to her out of her mind!
After their little moment, he had promptly vanished, surely he wasn't that embarrassed? Thinking about that, she hadn't even cracked open the chocolate bar yet! Ripping it open, she broke a bit off and shoved it into her mouth, deciding Becker had the best taste in chocolate and that she'd definitely have to find more of it at some point.
Jess sighed and leaned her head against the cool desk, "Tired, Jess?" Connor's voice floated her way, sitting back up, she turned to watch him casually slide to her side, "Here ya go, coffee; milk, no sugar, right?"
"Right, thanks Connor," She took the coffee from his hand and took a deep sip, before leaning back in her chair, "What makes you think Easter?"
"Huh?" A crinkle appeared on his forehead as he frowned, she could see why Abby couldn't live without him, he was pretty amazing, but she'd still pick Becker any day.
"Why did you say you thought me and Becker would be together by Easter?" Realisation crossed Connor's face, "Bit slow today, aren't ya Connor, maybe you need the coffee!" Jess laughed,
"He's always slow, you'll get used to it," Abby laughed from across the room, Connor turned around to send a glare at his girlfriend before answering Jess' question.
"Well, it's slightly obvious he's got the hot's for you!"
"Don't ever say that again!" Abby chuckled, "You sounded ridiculous!"
"But I am right, Becker definitely likes you, and we," He pointed to him and Abby, "live with you, we know how much you talk about him, you certainly like him,"
"What? Why? I do not!" She stuttered, and crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow,
"Yes you do, Jess," Lester and Matt came around the corner, again Matt seemed to ignore them, they would always find that odd.
"Why does Lester keep doing that?" Jess asked them once Matt and Lester had rounded the corner.
"It's Lester, he's a bit odd like that sometimes!" Abby smiled brightly, before grabbing Connor's hands and dragging him from his chair, "We're off for lunch, call us if anything interesting happens," Abby waved and left clinging to Connor's hand. Who appeared to be skipping?
Once again, she was alone. She tapped a few buttons and the CCTV popped up, moving the different pictures around and tapping the blank one's away; she swished past the clip showing Abby and Connor leaving, closed the one of Lester and Matt walking down a hallway, and stopped on the final one.
There stood Becker… Behind her.
She turned in her chair, thanking God that is was on wheels, and came face-to-face with Becker, the very man she had been looking for.
"Spying on someone are we?" He smirked, that gorgeous mouth of his lifting, and his eyes twinkling in glee.
"What? No!" She crossed her arms again, "You obviously are though! Sneaking up behind me like that,"
"I wasn't sneaking, you were just not paying attention," He winked, startling her, and grabbed a slice of chocolate from beside her. Jess really wanted to hit him for distracting her like that, "Who were you looking for?"
"I wasn't looking for anyone, I was just… checking," It sounded more of a question, and completely gave her away.
What she wasn't expecting, was Becker taking her hands and pulling them away from her, he knelt down to her height, still holding her hands lightly in his.
"You know you can tell me anything, Jessica." She nodded to him, now her eyes were shining, and he couldn't look away, "Tell me who you were looking for."
She gulped slightly, "You, I was looking for you," The genuine smile that lit up his face almost had her leaning toward him,
"Jessica Parker, why would you be spying on me?" He seemed a lot more relaxed and happy than he usually was; he was also more teasing than usual, and Jess knew her cheeks were burning.
"Well you have been gone all day, I was just going to check you were still in the building," She desperately prayed he would believe the lie she made up on the spot.
She watched as an eyebrow arched slowly, his eyes were twinkling more now, she hoped it was the lights. He appeared to be finding her lie very hilarious, "Becker…" She whined, "Stop laughing at me!" She shook their linked hands, and he looked down at them, he squeezed them a little tighter,
"Stop lying to me then," Tucking a finger under her chin, he lifted it slightly so she was looking straight ahead at him, "Come on Jess, you know you wanna tell me,"
She huffed, and he chuckled slightly and just as she opened her mouth, red lights started turning and the alarms started to ring. With that, she watched all the sparks leave Becker's eyes, as he grumbled, stood up and spoke, "Right, I guess we should get to work, you contact Abby and Connor and I'll gather the guys!" Jess nodded once, and watched him walk away, picking up the nearest phone and pressing Abby's number into it.
"Anomaly has been detected; get back here quick as you can," She waited on a reply, before smiling lightly, "No, nothing happened!" She laughed at the response and spoke again, "Tell Connor to stop asking questions and get back here now!" She listened for a moment, "OK, see you in a bit." She put the phone down, and went back to the map to locate the anomaly, clicking up the CCTV she used part of the screen to watch Becker and the other to scale across London to watch out for any escaping dinosaurs; watching as back-up arrived.
Leaning back again, she wondered whether she'd ever get any proper alone time with Becker without being interrupted.
Was that still just as good? Reviews please! :D
