Three Weeks Later
Three weeks have passed.
He's been spun up 3 times in that time. He checked his phone everyday. Nothing from C.J this past week.
The first week they sexted each other nearly everyday they could. Then he was gone on a mission for a few days. Perhaps she thought he had cooled. Now nothing this week.
"Well to be honest I haven't texted her either"
Later that day his phone vibrates
TEXT: "just landed I'm hungry how about you?"
He smiles at the phone
"I know a motel that do eat in Beer and Pizza?"
"Great! Meet you there 1hr? :) x "
Clay smiles.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
At the Motel
He opens the door. Looking at her standing there she looks fantastic and as great as that suit look he can't wait to get her out of it.
He pulls her in the door. They can't keep their hands off each other.
After a couple of steamy hours of sex using every position they can manage. They've showered and the pizza is on order. He opens up some beers.
"God I hope I don't get a called up tonight!"
"so did you send that text?" she questions
He goes quiet "No" he wonders why would she ask that. She nods but smiles to herself she's more glad than she realised when he says that.
"Look I want to ask you a favor" she looks at him "I'm just going to come out with it so just listen" she feels a fool asking but "here goes! My parents are in town tomorrow and you can say no and its not a meet the parents date or anything just it would keep my mother quiet if I took a guy as well, my history of guys is not great and she worries that I'll get left on shelf and well its just a dinner in a restaurant and would you come?" she burbles out in one sentence sure he'll say no.
He smiles "dinner with your parents" he laughs looks at her "like serious"
"I know right sucks however I put it really" what a thing to ask she thinks they hardly know each other
"Sure" he smiles and nods
"Really? Are you sure? I mean you don't have to" she frowns at him
"I said yes but first... " he rolls her over. "First you have to do something for me" He pulls her leg up around his waist, runs his hand over her breast and kisses her
"mmmmmm OK! deal" she takes a long deep breath and sighs...
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Outside the restaurant
She's nervous
"OK my father is bit old fashioned. I'll head off any awkward questions and so will my Mother. Trust me she won't want to frighten you off " she laughs "Stay off politics, religion, military and anything controversial" she looks at him to check he got it. Her voice is panicking "Football. Footballs good you can talk about that"
"Relax OK I got this" he laughs, shakes his head and kisses her
She rolls her eyes "This is such a stupidly bad idea." she sighs " I mean how am I going to explain how we know each other? I mean Hi this is Clay we eat Pizza, Drink beer and have great sex" she smiles
"Great Sex? Really?" he questions
"mmm! hmmm!" she smiles "Yes lots & lots of of Great Sex" she says kissing him. She can't keep her hands off him.
Clay kisses her back "It will be fine. I've done this type of thing before" remembering when he had the awkward encounter with Stella's parents
"You have? OK!" she hadn't the only time she had an encounter with meeting parents it didn't go too well if she remembers. No! actually it wasn't good at all when she remembers. Not when the mother of the married guy you're seeing walks in on you having sex on the couch because she arrives for the weekend early and catches you out! No that doesn't go down too well in the getting parents to like you stakes.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They meet at the table. Her Mother looks excited "He's nice dear. A little younger this time I think" as they approach their seats "very handsome though"
"Don't get too excited" replies her father pulling a scowl. His daughters life choices, especially with men, do not have a good track record so far. The fact this one appears much younger doesn't bode well in his opinion.
C.J rolls her eyes to Clay and introduces everyone. Clay notices how tall and muscular C.J father is. The man has a strong grip.
"So Clay What do you do ?" he questions Clay
"He's a gym instructor at the Navy base " C.J heads off the question "more garlic bread"
"Really? I thought you had a smell of military about you myself! You never thought to enlist?"
"Dad!" she says with a warning tone
"Roger!" her mother reminds him of their earlier conversation about this.
"Err No. No I haven't" Clay coughs taking a large swig of wine. He hates lying.
"Funny I'd swear I would have had you down for Military guy by the looks of you "
C.J kicks Clay under table "Football " she mouths and smiles.
The evening goes fairly well. They just make idle chatter and her father seems to have been pre warned to be on best behavior. Basically they just eat and leave.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Outside she kisses Clay "Thank you for that! Now my Mother can sleep so much better" she laughs
Clay laughs too. He grabs her round the waist with both hands "come back to mine?"
"Yours? Why?" this sounds like he's getting serious. She's not sure how she feels about that
"Just come back"
She thinks about. It seems like it's a big deal to him AND he has done this for her. She nods " OK! I'll have to pick up some stuff from the Motel first"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Clay's Apartment
Daylight comes through the window of Clay's apartment its 07:30hrs
"I have a meeting this morning at the Navy base can you drop me off? My rental car is still parked at the Motel"
"What do you do again?" Clay can't remember if she told him. If she did he can't remember
"If I told you I'd have to kill you" she laughs seeing him frown. She jumps on the bed on top of him kissing him rubbing her hand on his chest. She coughs before answering "Just admin stuff for the Navy. Paperwork mainly not much to tell really"
"OK so not like a secret spy" he laughs and tickles her
"No! Not like a spy, Stupid" she punches him "I wish. More like a secretary" she laughs
She gets dressed and Clay can't keep his hands off her.
She's wearing a slim pencil skirt and blue tight fitting jacket. He rubs his hands up the inside of her thigh under her skirt. "You look amazing!" He smiles at her.
"I'm going to be late" she licks her lips. She rubs her hands across his back as he lays his head on her stomach and continues working his hands up her thigh to the top of her panties. She can feel his fingers toying with her.
"mmmmmmm" she sighs "You're gonna make me late"
"I don't care tell them the traffic was bad" he puts his hand round back of her head and pulls her in for a kiss.
She thinks about giving in to him for a moment then slaps him playfully round the head "Seriously Clay! Down boy" she pulls her skirt down. "I can't be late today" she smiles wistfully.
His phone blips and he checks the message. He's been called to the base as well "OK" he puts his hands up in the air and jumps off the bed. He heads to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror he sees her reflection back in other room and realises he is falling for her. She smiles watching him go to the bathroom and catches herself in the mirror smiling. She wonders if she's falling for him.
She unzips her skirt letting it drop to the floor. "Maybe being a little late wouldn't be so bad?"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
09:14hrs Virginia Naval base
Commander Blackburn turns from the window back into the Room. There a knock on the door "Enter"
the door opens "Lieutenant Lewis come in"
" Sir sorry I'm late. Traffic was terrible" C.J smiles as she enters Commander Blackburn's office
"That's OK Lieutenant. How are you?"
"Good thanks and you? "
He nods "This..." Pointing towards the table "... is Mandy Ellis CIA" they smile and nod at each other, they have met before.
"And this is Petty Officer Lisa Davis "
"Pleased to meet you" Davis is a little in awe. She has heard of Lieutenant Catherine Jane Lewis and someone she aspires to
"Likewise " Davis nods
Blackburn continues "Right still no green light on Somalia the intel has been flagged up, plus Delta team now have injuries so will take time to set up a new team as backup which we are still waiting for central give us green light to go on"
C.J's not impressed she sighs "Damn! So really was a waste of time me coming back from Washington then"
"Not necessarily..." Blackburn continues again "...as you are here Mandy has been given green light on a Nigeria op. As you maybe aware jihad linked rebels there involved in the kidnaps of female aid agency workers. Word is they're using them for jihad brides or ransom hostages depending on their perceived value. It's been put forward from central that you are included"
She pissed that the mission she been trying to green light for 6 months is now off but gives a resigned sigh that she might get something out of this "OK fill me in?"
"We about to go briefing so you can head up with us as well if you want?"
"Sure sounds good, I'm here so it's a good way to pass the time. Why not?" she shrugs
"Well it was passed down to us from up the chain that you would be available. So like you say a good way to pass the time"
They all get up to leave to head to the briefing room.
"Lieutenant a moment" Commander Blackburn calls her back
Mandy looks back at Blackburn "be there in a minute"
"Before you head in there there is something you need to know" he pauses waiting for Mandy to leave the room. He's wondering how well received what he's going to say will be "Just a heads up about the team green lit on this..." he pauses again
"Yeah" she looks at him puzzled
He pauses for a moment more. How to phrase this or just come straight out with it but from the look on his face its already dawned on her what he's going to say
"Oh you have got to be kidding? BRAVO?... Seriously?" she rubs her forehead and closes her eyes for moment and takes a deep breath. Maybe she was a little quick on the take up of this "They know though, right? that I'm involved"
Blackburn shakes his head "Not yet" Blackburn is weighing up if this is really such a good idea too "You still want to do this?"
She hasn't had any proper action for some time and looks like her Somalia op is on hold.
She tips her head back and makes a big sigh "Arrgghhhhhh!" she rubs her head thinking "Yeah OK! But you know they're not gonna like it?" He nods "Okay. What the hell!" she shrugs
Blackburn silently nods but that doesn't mean he doesn't have reservations
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Briefing Room 09:30hrs
Blackburn opens the door to the briefing room.
Everyone is lounging in their chairs. Jason is bouncing the ball for Cerb. Sonny has his feet up on table. Ray is closing his eyes under his shades. Trent and Brock are half asleep at the back. Mandy coughs as she's about to begin the briefing as Blackburn opens the door.
He and the Lieutenant enter the room.
Sonny who is facing the door sneers first "Oh! You have got to be fucking kidding right?"
He throws the ball of paper on the table at Ray who lifts his shades and frowns
Jason has his back to the door and swings round in his chair to look "No way! err errr...No way! This is not happening" he stands up
Blackburn "Jason, SIT DOWN and listen"
"Did you know? " Jason still standing raising his voice and points "about this?" looking and pointing at Mandy? "seriously there was no one else you could get?"
"Jason … I just found out…this was not our doing" Mandy begins but he won't let her finish.
"No way this is NOT happening" Jason is shaking his head and pacing.
The door swings open again and Clay walks in "Sorry I'm late guys traffic was nightma..." he doesn't finish his sentence seeing C.J standing there.
She looks as dumb struck as him.
Blackburn introduces them "Oh Good Evening Mr Spenser. Nice of you to join us, finally!" Clay takes a seat "Clay Spenser new, newish, recruit to Bravo.. and late " pointing in Clay direction " I don't think you two have met"
Before she knows what to say Clay puts out a hand to C.J pretending not to know who she is
"Nice to meet you Clay Spenser"
Still dumbfounded she blankly stares at him " C.J errm..." she corrects herself "...Lieutenant Lewis … pleased to meet you"
He smiles and takes a seat. She tries to work out from his expression what's going on here.
Blackburn hands over to Mandy to continue the brief on the hostage situation in Nigeria
C.J turns and her eyes meet Clay's and she frowns silently questioning him. He acknowledges but questions back with a frown too.
Jason pipes in "I don't like it. It's not happening "
C.J re focuses her attention on the room as her gaze comes back to Jason. Ray catches the glances between her and Clay. She looks away quickly.
"Oh here we go! Jason Hayes doesn't like it so its not happening There's a surprise. Tell me what don't you like?"
"What other than you?" chips in Sonny his dislike of her is obvious from his tone.
Ray looks at him and raises an eyebrow. They all seem uncomfortable with the situation. Ray adjusts his position in the chair. Brock and Trent just look at the floor they can feel a storm brewing
"The intel is basic to say the least. The HVT and not to mention her" he sneers "are out of our immediate reach. We have No idea where they are taking these women and we have no way to find the target if this goes south. Something in my gut tells me we are missing something here. So No as far as I'm concerned its not happening. I'm not putting BRAVO up for this"
"Your gut? Oh yes Jason Hayes proven instinct" she makes gestures with her hands in the air "or should I say his Ego! Let's overrule every military decision made no matter who makes it Right?" her disdain for him is also quite obvious
Jason and C.J are face to face across the table. Blackburn looks at Mandy and they both sigh. Mandy leans in and whispers to Eric "Is this really such a good idea?"
"THIS IS NOT HAPPENING I am not putting Bravo up for that in your head!"
Mandy speaks up "The HTV will carry a hidden tracker, the car is fitted with a tracker and we will fit the Lieutenant with not only a remote tracker but a subdermal one" C.J squints at Mandy with that comment.
"Oh like the ones you fit on DOGS you mean?" Sonny laughs to Ray "well if that hat fits wear it" Sonny snides
"Oh shut the fuck up Sonny. You think you're so funny! Let me tell you, you're not" she snaps back
Jason laughs too.
She quickly turns on him "and when Master Chief has it been acceptable for one of YOUR team to insult a senior officer in a briefing"
Jason purses his lips that stung.
He could swing for her right now but hitting a senior officer in briefing wouldn't be acceptable either.
He looks at Sonny and rolls his eyes
"Oh I'm Sorry! I'lI apologise Lieutenant for making derogatory remarks" then in hushed tone "… about dogs" he says under his breath. Brock smiles and pats Cerberus under the table
Davis speaks up "plus we have ISR in the sky once the convoy is underway we will have eyes on the cars and the route "
"Davis loves those toys " Sonny laughs. Davis stifles a smile.
Blackburn chimes in "This IS Happening its been Green Lit from on high. Special Secretary, Commissioner Dubois is a high profile target and one the Washington is keen to ensure gets to complete her diplomatic mission without incident. It's hoped any potential intel we can get from this means we may have more chance of locating the other women hostages"
"Oh!" Jason laughs "ON High gave this the green light? Now I get it..." Jason turns on his heels in C.J's face "You been pulling some strings?"
"Me?...Don't blame me. This is the first I knew of this!"
"Yeah sure so you just happen to get attached to this out of nowhere?"
"Not that its your pay grade, but I've actually been trying to get green light something bigger than this with Delta, Not Bravo! This is from elsewhere, not my doing. Unfortunately my intels been compromised and I got landed with YOU instead"
They are really arguing now and so Ray stands up "Time out children! Think we all need a break"
Blackburn " I agree, take a break we'll meet back in an hour" he lets out a sigh.
Sonny Sniffs the air "Works for me something stinks in in here anyway"
C.J snaps back at Sonny "Give it a rest you're a Joke!" she glares at him "I'll never understand how you make tier one? look at you!" she and he stare at each other
Sonny smirks at her looking her up and down "A joke? .. coming from you?... ha now that is funny" he sneers "Well, honey, I guess no matter how hard you keep trying you'll never find out about being a tier one"
He really has hit a nerve there and as soon as its out of his mouth he regrets it, if only slightly.
She grinds her teeth and purses her lips, he can see he's made her mad now knowing he pushed it a little far.
Ray pushes him out he door "Too far Brother! You're not doing yourself any favors there"
Sonny 's annoyed "arrgghhhh! she gets me every damn time"
Clay follows Ray and Sonny out the door. He stops to look at C.J before leaving.
Blackburn calls out clicking his fingers "You two wait!" C.J stops at the door. She can feel a lecture coming. Jason is still swinging in his chair bouncing the dog ball.
"This needs to work. This IS happening. I have to report in to he Cake eaters and I can't have you two arguing" he looks at them both "we need be on the same page. Do you think you can do that?" he raises an eyebrow at them both
"Sure fine" she shrugs "weren't me had the problem anyway"
Jason doesn't want to back down and shrugs "Fine I can play nice for the suits" he twists his hat round and looks at C.J "but this is not done by a long shot" he gets up pushes past her.
Instead of holding the door for her he slams it behind him. She stands in front of the closed door "that went well " she rolls her eyes and sighs.
As C.J walks out the door Blackburn lets out a sigh and looks at Mandy. They're both thinking the same thing. That maybe this is not the best of ideas.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
C.J heads for the canteen to get a coffee. Clay comes from around the corner where he has been waiting.
"What the hell is going on?"
She looks around furtively to see who is around "You're asking Me what's is going on? What about you ? YOU said you were a Gym instructor?! "
"Well obviously you know the position I was in, but then you never mentioned you were Navy either, You said secretary...Lieutenant "
They are frustrated with each other but they also know the reasons they weren't honest, that's the down side of their jobs.
C.J looks around to make sure no one is listening.
"Look you can't mention a word to anyone about us. Me and you. What's gone on"
"as if I would! Do you think I'm stupid?"
"seriously Clay NO ONE, not even anyone you trust in Bravo. Please you cant say a word. Its just best that way"
"Sure I understand its against rules or something. I know" he's puzzled a bit by her insistence.
"Yeah it's not just any rules. Its just better OK?"
Ray Comes round Corner with a bottle of water in hand. He spots Clay and C.J deep in conversation he holds back to see what is going on. C.J Spots him and nods to Clay.
"Hey, what's up Ray?"
"Oh hey! Everything Okay here?" Ray makes out he's just passing
"Yeah we were just doing introductions as we hadn't met. Saying about how bad the traffic was today, that sort of thing"
" ah Okay" Says Ray though he seems to have a suspicion to his voice that he missing something here.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They head towards the canteen. C.J peels off from the guys as they join the rest of Bravo at the table.
She knows she won't be welcome. Quite how they are going to overcome this for this spin up is anyone's guess but she knows they won't get a better female operator to accompany them and she knows Jason knows that, despite his dislike of her.
Blackburn comes to the Canteen " OK No need to come back to the briefing room, Ive just had word... we're Green Lit. Wheels up 14hrs get yourselves together"
"Forget the coffee then Beer it is" Sonny rubs his hands.
"Seems good to me" and everyone nods
Clay looks over to where Davis and C.J are chatting by the coffee machine "What about Davis and the Lieutenant you inviting them?"
"Davis get your butt over here. We're going for beer" Davis puts her hand up and acknowledges Sonny
"Aren't you going to ask the Lieutenant?" Clay frowns
"Nope!" Sonny replies without any hesitation
"Don't seem right to leave her out though? Be good to get to know her don't you think? Before we go"
"Trust me poster boy you do NOT want to get to know her. The best thing for everyone is if she stays here... No actually the best thing would be for her to fuck off back to Washington but it's also best if you don't worry your pretty little head about it" he ruffles Clay's hair "Hey...don't go getting fairy dust in your eyes over that one she'll eat you alive and spit you out like the rest"
Sonny hoists him up out of his seat, "Davis, We're going" he shouts over as they get up to go.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Jason looks back at C.J now sitting alone with her coffee
"Guys I'll catch you up in a minute. Just head to the bar"
Ray catches his arm "You OK boss? "
"Yeah Ray I'm fine, just better try mend some fences if this thing is on" he sighs Ray frowns at him worried "Ray its fine"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
C.J looks up from her coffee. Jason is standing over the table leaning with his knuckles on it. She forgot how bigger presence he is in real life
"You not coming for a beer?"
She laughs "You run that past your guard dog first?" Nodding towards the door " I don't think I was on Sonny's drinking friends list last time I checked"
"Come on!... Sonny will be fine" he nods his head towards the door "One for old time sake. Bygones be bygones all that "
She laughs at him and stands up "Classic Jason, just Classic" she throws her coffee in the bin and walks off shaking her head
Jason throws his hands up and rubs his head "Why the hell did I bother?!" He heads to the door "Let's get that beer then"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Clay can't relax. The guys are drinking but he's just pulling the label off his beer bottle thinking.
Jason walks in alone. Clay's disappointed. Ray and Sonny are just relieved.
"Hey boss, got you a beer in!... The Lieutenant not coming?"
"Hey G.Q I told you forget about her" Sonny takes a sip of his beer then mutters under his breath "Two timing tramp" he leans forward and pushes another beer towards Clay.
Even Jason's annoyed at the constant comments "Sonny enough now"
"Well truth is truth... Anyways.. how we get landed with her?"
Brock nudges Sonny towards the doorway C.J has just walked in
"Oh hell! Speak too soon! Looks like she's made her own way here, just to put me off my beer no doubt"
C.J orders a whiskey shot and beer as sits on the stool at the bar away from the others.
Jason smiles. He surprises himself that he's pleased she has decided to come. Clay smiles over at her. She looks back at her beer and ignores them.
"Whiskey shots" Sonny announces rubbing his hands
"Steady Sonny we up in a 11hrs" Jason reminds him
"Hell yeah! Plenty of time then" He spots Clay getting up " Hey Blondie, sit your butt back down we doing whiskey shots first no leaving the party early"
"Just going to the men's room"
"Oh or in your case the little boys room" Sonny laughs as Clay heads to the door. When he walks past C.J he whispers "meet me outside" She smiles but doesn't answer.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
He whistles round the corner.
He's hidden behind the garbage store its in secluded bit behind the bar, hidden from main view.
"We should not be out here" she looks around "the others will be missing you! ... So what can I do for you Mr Spenser?" she gives him one of her sexy smiles.
"See I love the element of risk. It's part of my job" he smiles back as he pushes her against the wall."and as for what you can do for me ..."
He kisses down her neck unbuttonings her shirt and kisses into her breast.
"Oh god!" she let's out a breathless 's turning her on but she knows this is one hell of a risk they're taking, but it's partly that risk that's making her so excited now.
He starts to hoist up her skirt "anyway I don't care" he smiles "I want you" he says pulling at the lace trim on the top of her panties putting his hand inside "Do you know how great you looked in that briefing room this morning?" He's so turned on now as he carries on kissing her neck.
She holds his head and brings his lips to hers.
"mmmm!... I want you so bad" she says looking him full in the face. Her breathing is taking over her words "but Clay, if we get caught..." she shakes her head. She has serious doubts about this, but sex outside like this excites her so much
"hmmmm" Oh well she'll take the chance as she cautiously looks round.
"Ssshh Relax. We won't" He kisses her neck as he unbuckles his pants and slides her panties to the side to that he can take her without removing them. The tugs of the material against her delicate skin sends a wave of tingles through her that adds to the pleasure.
He unbuttons her blouse more sucking at her breast. She takes a deep breath and hoists one leg around his waist steadying herself against the damp wall behind.
"uhhhhhhh!" she gasps and bites her lip, as he pushes into her.
"Ohhhh... Clay!" She knows this is so wrong but it's so worth the risk. He comes way too quickly its just all too much for him to hold and as he relaxes she smiles at him thanking him with her kisses, though she just wishes they had more time as its over too quickly for her to get any full satisfaction.
He couldn't take his eyes off her in that briefing and finding out she's an officer as well, well that's been a big turn on for Clay There was no way he was going to be able to wait till they got back from operations.
He does his buckle on his pants back up. "I need to head back in I'm gonna be missed" he kisses her before pulling away and turning to go back. He feels bad just abandoning her like this but that was part of the trade off for the quick outside sex.
"Okay!" C.J makes a sad face. She might be an officer but in Clay's company she likes the feeling of him taking charge.
"I'll...errrm... see you on the flight in a few hours" he comes back for another kiss and he puts his hand in her blouse once more he can't resist touching her and he's so tempted again.
She looks at him full in the eyes, he can see the want in her face and that she's still really turned on.
She doesn't want to let him go but eventually concedes and pushes him away "Go" she smiles and breathes out deeply releasing some of her energy to calm herself
She straightens her clothes and brushes her hair back. Taking a minute breathing slowly. Getting a grip on herself before heading back into the bar behind him.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Ray and Jason are at the bar getting more beer and chasers.
Jason looks around "C.J leave?"
Ray's unsure but he hopes so, although now Jason says that he has now noticed Clay has gone as well "Yeah guess so. No reason for her to stay. I'm gonna head back soon be with kids a bit before we go"
Ray puts the beers down on table "Where's the poster boy? I ordered him whisky shots" Sonny announces
Jason "Yeah where is Spenser?"
Ray answers "Men's room I think"
"He got a problem down there? apart from finding it I mean, he's been gone ages?"
He had been gone a while Ray thinks to himself
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Clay comes back in the bar still adjusting his clothes. Ray notices
C.J is also back at the bar, "whiskey"
"I'll get the shots you sit down. I'm gonna head back home in a minute anyway" Ray says to Spenser
At the bar Ray orders "I'll take eight whiskey shots"
He leans into C.J "I'm sorry about Sonny. I'll have a word get him to tone it down"
C.J looks at him out the corner of her eye "You'll have word? Don't on my account. I'm a big girl I can handle Sonny"
"still he doesn't need to talk the way he does" he looks behind to check that no one can overhear their conversation "Look I'm sorry for everything. I know you've had to take a lot of shit for the situation"
"Not a problem" she drinks her beer but doesn't look at Ray
"I am sorry. If it could be any other way I would have made it right but…"
She laughs and shakes her head "Oh you're Sorry? I bet you are" she can't believe he is actually saying this now "Sorry for what exactly Ray? ...Sorry that you get to play happy families while I'm the family wrecking two timing tramp? Or sorry you didn't come clean and have had to live with the guilt of what we did? What Ray what are you sorry about? or tell me this doesn't sit well with you being a man of God" she mocks him.
Rays annoyed now "ssshhh! will you keep your voice down!"
She smirks and laughs "its Okay Ray..." she gives him a pitying look "...I'm not going to say anything. Wouldn't want to upset your holier than thou life and your boring wife"
Ray looks at her sometimes he feels sorry for her but now she's made him angry too. "I give up trying to be nice to you. Sonny's right! You're a poisonous bitch" He bites his lip and shakes his head his tone turns nasty now "Fuck you C.J"
He picks up the tray of shots and walks away.
She raises her bottle "yep that's exactly what I thought you did Ray. Cheers!"
"Another whiskey" she says to the barman. She rubs her head with her hand "You know what forget it " she sighs "Damn!" she's angry with herself.
She wishes she hadn't said that to Ray it wasn't his fault after all he was just wrong person, wrong place, right time. He had wife he loves, kids. It would do no one any good it all coming out in the open.
She decides its time to leave and collect her stuff. Long day tomorrow.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Military base airfield
They're loading stuff on to the C-17
"You left early last night? " Jason breaks the ice
"Made sense. Early start. Long day" she snaps back with no expression not even glancing at him
"Come on C.J!... give me a break,... please. I'm trying here" he frowns at her " What do you want from me?"
She looks at him "Nothing!... I don't want nothing from you"
She walks away not even looking back at him.
He slams his fist down on the box in front of him "Fuck!" he shakes his head and sighs
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
