Half an hour later, Jack waited outside as Kate collected her tip's for the night. "Hey," he said as she approached the car.
"Hi again," Kate replied and Jack opened the car door for her. "Thank's," Kate said. Jack smiled and rounded the car, slipping into the driver's seat. He started the engine and they drove off into the night.
Jack pulled up the coffee shop and he and Kate entered the warm atmosphere.
"Hey, what'll you guy's have then ?" asked the waitress.
"I'll have a Latte please," Kate said.
"Same," Jack ordered and the waitress left them alone.
"So Jack, are you alway's this charming ?" Kate asked him.
"Yes," Jack replied and Kate giggled.
"I haven't asked what you do yet. Obviously you know what I do," she said.
"I'm a spinal surgeon," Jack said.
"Your a spinal surgeon !" Kate exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah," Jack smiled at her shock. "I really shouldn't tell people that," he said.
"Well it's better than a waitress," Kate said crestfallen.
"Hey don't put yourself down. With a voice like that you could do anything," Jack reassured her.
"You really do like my singing, don't you ?" Kate asked him shyly.
"Yeah, I've never heard anyone who sounded like that."
"Thank you again," Kate blushed. Two hour's later Jack and Kate finally left the coffee shop and once again got into Jack's car.
"So where should I drop you off ?" Jack asked her.
"Uh, the motel on 43rd street," she said sheepishly. At Jack's look she grinned, embarrased. "I don't have much money."
"Why don't you stay with me ?" Jack said suddenly.
"Really ? Cause it would be a step up from my creepy neighbours," Kate said.
"You can stay in my guest room," Jack offered.
"I'd love to, but i've gotta get my stuff first," Kate told him.
"No problem, I'll drive you and help," Jack said, starting the engine. The drive to Kate's motel was uneventful, aside from listening to ' Highway to Hell' on the radio. Jack pulled up to the grimy motel and went round to open Kate's door.
"Your such a gentleman," Kate said to him and Jack smiled at the compliment. As it was the middle of winter, the night air had a bite to it as it whipped around thier face's and hand's. They hurried to the from to the motel and they climbed the stair's with Kate leading the way. Getting to room thirty three, Kate pulled out the key and shoved it into the lock "Could you wait here ? I don't have much so I'll be fine to carry it," Kate asked him.
"Sure no problem," Jack replied to her and she went into the room. Kate rushed round the small room gathering the few megar possesions she had. Truly that man was a gem, you don't meet any guy's like that anymore, Kate thought. Kate filled a small suitcase before rushing out again and locking the door. "Shouldn't you give the manager the key ?" asked Jack.
"I don't wanna talk to him right now. Everytime I do he end's up staring at my chest," Kate answered, dropping the key on the floor. On the way down the stair's Jack placed his hand on the small of Kate's back, and she smiled to herself.
They arrived at Jack's apartment, fifteen minute's later and Kate couldn't believe the size of it. It was tidy for a batchaler and Jack led Kate to the guest room. Inside was definatly an improvement from the motel room. The bed looked so soft and Kate couldn't wait to sleep tonight. Suddenly her ex's voice popped into her head.
Your a worthless bitch Austin. I'm only with you cause I feel sorry for you. You don't deserve to be happy.
Kate shook it off and turned to Jack. "Are you sure your okay with me staying here ?" she asked for what seemed like the billionth time.
"Yes Kate it's fine," he chuckled. "If you need anything I'm just across the hall and the bathroom's down there," he said pointing down the hall.
The man has need's Kate. He's letting a piece of filth like you stay, you may as well fulfil his need's. His voice taunted her as she said goodnight to Jack. It taunted her as she changed, and as she slid into the soft bed.
Repay the man Kate. Not that your much good but you can at least get him off. The voice taunted her. Kate tossed onto her side, and finally fell asleep
