"Do I really have to go, I mean it's not like they requested I come." Jennifer said even as she put on her high heels. Julie 'another doctor the same as her that came to the conference here in Paris' pushed a strand of her auburn hair out of her eye's as she looked in the merrier trying to perfectly get her eyeliner to go on.

"Oh come on we're just going to go, have a good time, then come back, see no biggie at all." Julie said as she finished her eyeliner and moved onto her blush trying to decide if she should go darker or lighter with the shade. Finally deciding on the darker red blush she turned to Jennifer. " Come on live a little, come out and have fun with me, besides it was a duke who invited us so we definitely have to go you gotta to know the rules you can't say no to a duke no matter what." Julie said then turned back to doing her make up. Jennifer finished putting her heels on and stood up strait, smoothing out her dress while doing so, it was a blue dress with purple flowers on it, it matched her blue eyes.

Jennifer and Julie exited their suit 'which is how they met is that they shared a suit for this conference.' After making sure they shut the door all the way they headed down into the lobby and went to hail a taxi. They got into a taxi and headed to there location. After paying the taxi driver both girls turned around to look at the Royal Ball Room, then looked at each other.

"Wow." Julie said as she wound her arm around Jennifer's and pulled her towards the entrance.

"Yeah wow." Jennifer said nervously as she kept staring at the beautiful building as they walked in. Getting passed the bouncer wasn't hard at all, due to the fact that a duke had invited them and put there names down on the list they were let right in. Jennifer gasped being outside had not compared to what the building looked like from the inside. It was beautiful, magnificent, perfect, and more. As she looked around she realized that everyone was already dancing and that there was already music playing. She then felt Julie let go of her arm finding more interest in the duke that had invited them that was over in the corner drinking punch, or that s what Jennifer was pretty sure it was. She was not sure actually. Jennifer was about to head over and get some punch herself when a voice startled her.

"Hey, fancy seeing you here." Jennifer turned at the voice and smiled.

"Colonel." Jennifer said with a smile.

"Doctor." John said tilting his head with a smile, Jennifer smiled and laughed a little getting the hint.

"Ok John, what are you doing here?" She asked as she mover some of her hair out of her eye.

"Work related and all that yadda yadda yadda." John said jestering torwards his dress blues.

"Ah I see." She said smiling.

"Ok my turn, what are you doing here?" John asked.

"See that duke over there, the one with the girl in a red dress that is talking his ear off. She is my friend and he invited us." Jennifer said taking a breath in then let it out. "Though I really didn't want to come to this, but Julie talked me into it, said we'd have fun together. Then she ditches me for a duke, how typical." Jennifer said then blushed bright red. "I am so sorry I just rambled on there." Jennifer said then looked down.

"Ah no problem. Sometimes you just need to let loose when you need to and if it happens to be on me, then I can handle it." John said with a smirk, Jennifer smiled then gently punched him in the arm. "Ah you wounded me Doc, now you're going to have to fix me up." John said smiling.

"Oh I am, am I?" Jennifer said with a challenge, John smiled and stared into eyes.

"Yup, and I think I know just the cure. Dance with me?" John asked as a slow song started playing. Jennifer knew the song almost immediately, it was her favorite. Call her a hopeless romantic, it was "A Thousand Years ~ Sang By: Christina Perri". Jennifer Smiled and took his hand, he lead her out to the floor. He then wrapped an arm around her, and placed the other in her hand. She wrapped the hand that wasn't in his around the back of his neck feeling the hair there tickle her fingers. They danced in tune with the music and it was like the world melted around them. It was just them the music and the dance floor, no one ells.

The music came a slow stop and Jennifer could feel her heart pounding in her chest. Her head was now resting on his shoulder, she lifted her head and looked into his eyes as he gazed down at her. She really didn't know how it happened, but soon one of his hands was on her cheek holding it gently as he kissed her. His mouth was soft, yet hard and demanding, but then also hesitant waiting for her response. Which she gave kissing back, and he took control of the kiss, while Jennifer just melted in his arms. Feeling safe, secure and never wanting to leave his arms. Jennifer smiled into the kiss and she could feel him smile as well.

They both pulled back reluctantly for air, and stared into each others eyes again.

"That was ah…" John started then cleared his throat.

"Yeah." Jennifer said agreeing with a smile.

"So um…" John said scratching the back of his head. Jennifer smiled at him and his cute bashfulness that she would never tell for fear it would embarrass him more. She then grabbed the lapels of his navy blue jacket and pulled him into a deep kiss. At first he fumbled into the kiss, but then it was his turn to melt into the kiss as Jennifer was holding him with her hands fisted in his jacket.

Off in a far corner a Major was smirking while he escorted a girl by the name of Julie onto the dance floor.
