'All we need to do is find the notes and get out.'
That's what Ruth told herself as she dug through the mess in Mr Fairfax's office. She hoped she could just grab the notes and run, but no look she had been looking for over ten minutes and no sigh.
Then she saw the name.
'Gotcha.' She yelled before quickly looking around and making a swift exit from the office. She quickly made her way through the hectic ED to the staff room locking the door behind her. She couldn't believe she had just done that why couldn't she just keep her nose out maybe Mr Fairfax was right and that Jay would be better of not knowing about the results. NO she told herself she promised she would help him out so that is what she was going to do.
She placed the file on the table and flopped back on the sofa. She starred at the notes for a while wondering what would be hidden beneath, she couldn't take the anticipation anymore she grabbed the notes and began to open the file.
'What's that?' She span around to see a inquisitive Jay looking at her
'Um Jay!' She flung the file behind her back
'Ruth? Is that what I think it is?' He slowly approached her shutting the door behind him. Ruth mentally slapped herself why had she forgotten the other door, now she had explain. Great.
'Jay please listen to me. I just found the notes don't shout.' She tightly closed her eyes waiting for his reaction
'What do they say?'His fist were clenched knowing his career was now in the balance
'I...I haven't opened it.' She stuttered
'Open it!'He raised his voice before calming himself down
'Please.' He said in a softer tone
Her fingertips ran across the top of the seal, she slipped it open and pulled out the notes.
'Jay!' Jay could tell by her expression that it was good news he couldn't resist he picked her up and span her around. Hatred towards her leaving his body, she had finally proved to him that she could do something other than look after herself.
The moment passed and his grip on her fail body fell as her feet made contact with the ground once again. Their faces were so close together his hot breath prickled her pale skin. She couldn't stop herself this opportunity was too good to pass up, she lent up and kissed him there lips locked in a passionate embrace, as her hand moved up to his cheek, everything melted away it was her and Jay and nothing else mattered. He pulled away first a smile growing on his face as she looked up at him her glowing blue eyes burning into him.
'So what do we do now?' He took her hand
'What about us or the notes?' She let out a little giggle
'Both.' He laughed
'Well I think we should sort out the notes first.' She walked away and picked up the notes from the table.
******************
'Tess I told you I could prove that I followed it by the book.'
'Jay you know I believed you It was just that we needed proof.' She said sincerely
'Well we have proof now.' He smiled at Ruth as she handed over the notes
Just as Tess took hold of the notes Mr Fairfax stormed into the office.
'Dr Winters what are you doing?' They all turned to face the furious professor
Jay slipped his hand into Ruth's knowing that she was going to be in a lot of trouble.
