AN:/ thanks for all the reviews it really helps:) hope you like this next chapter :) wouldn't really call it Gwen bashing though :P

Chapter 2

The weekend passed by very slowly for Ianto Jones, as message by message, Jack tried to apologize.

All he could think of on his way to work the upcoming Monday was how to avoid Gwen and more importantly Jack. Maybe he could turn around and call in sick? He could stay in the tourist office Or he could just run down to the archives, but he knew that as soon as he got in there Owen would ask for some coffee, which would result in a coffee for both Jack and Gwen.

Jack was terribly upset. Ianto was normally at work an hour before everyone so that they could have some time alone but with what happened a few days ago, he would be lucky to even see Ianto, at work today. Strangely enough Owen Harper was the first one to appear through the door.

'Teaboy, have you made any coffee yet!' Owen shouted through the empty room.

'Ianto's not here yet Owen. You're the first one in today. Strange isn't it.'

'where's lover boy today then, off home to get changed?'

'nope he just late, that's all.' Jack was resisting the urge to cry. He didn't have a clue where Ianto was.

Owen decided not to ask any more questions. He could tell something had happened.

After 10 minutes of silence, the alarms to the door went off and Gwen walked through with a small smirk on her face, but instead of going to her desk as usual, she decided to head up to Jack's office and see if he had calmed down. At the same time Toshiko Sato walked through with the same confused look as Owen as Gwen slowly walked up the steps to Jack's office.

'Have you seen Ianto today, I really need to talk to him'

'According to Jack, Teaboy isn't here yet'

'Do you think somethings happened'

'What between Jack and Ianto? we could play spys and find out?'

'That sounds facinating but we could just ask Ianto when he gets in?'

Suddenly the cog wheeled door alarm and in staggered a very scruffy Ianto, still wearing his suit but his eyes were red and his hair was a mess. This was not a good sign.

'Ianto are you alright?' Toshiko started to worry Ianto had never turned up like this no matter what happened. He was always cheerful and excited.

XxxX

Meanwhile Gwen knocked on Jack's office and slowly walked in.

'Hey Jack.' There was no response. Jack did not want to see or speak to gwen at the moment. 'Look i'm sorry about upsetting Ianto but we all new that you were with him to make me jealous.'

'Is that what you think Ianto was? Just a play thing until you came along? I love him, gwen! don't you understand I don't want to be with you I never have' Jack couldn't take it anymore. He was sick of Gwen talking about Ianto as if he was nothing.

'You don't mean that Jack.' Gwen started to let out tears hoping Jack would feel sorry for her.

'I love Ianto. Me and you, it would never happen sure I flirt but it doesn't mean I fancy you!'

Quietly ringing through Jacks ear was the alarm of the door opening up. 'Ianto'
