"Are you going to move?"

Without hesitation she quietly answered "No."

"Good, I want to stay."

(Jackson's POV)

By now it was already 9:40, it had been two hours and they were still laying on the couch not speaking. They were simply just enjoying the position they were in. He glanced back down at her, and since she hadn't dried her hair her natural curls were starting to come out. She looked so beautiful like that and all he wanted to do was run his hands through her hair. She wouldn't mind would she? Hesitantly he put one hand on the back of her head and tangled her hair in his fingers. It was softer than he had imagined. He let his other hand fall to her waist where a tiny bit of her skin was exposed under the t shirt. When he made contact with her skin she shivered under his touch.

"April?"

"Yes?" Her face was buried in his chest and he could almost feel her lips moving through his t shirt.

"Is this okay?" He wanted to make sure she was comfortable, he would never want to put her in an uncomfortable position.

"It's great." Resting her hand underneath her chin she looked up at him with her hazel eyes.

The proximity of their faces was so close he could almost feel her breath on his face. Damn he really wanted to kiss her now. To let his feeling overtake him and kiss her. Last night he had thought of her as nothing more than a close friend but this morning he wanted her as his own. He moved his hand to the square of her back. His other hand moved from her hair to the side of her face, memorizing all her features. Her eyes were mesmerizing. They were dark and light at the same time with colors of green and brown. Eyes that had seen everything, eyes you could easily get lost in.

"April, I really want to kiss you?" What the hell has he just said.

"What?" She smiled at him, he loved her smile.

"Right now, being with you, I just want to kiss you." His eyes fell to her lips, they were pink and soft, he wanted to kiss her so fucking badly.

"Then why don't you?" She adjusted her position on top of him. "Kiss me Jackson."

It felt like forever, like he had wanted to kiss her his whole life. He tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear. This moment was perfect. If he could live in it forever he would, just about to kiss the girl he had subconsciously always wanted to kiss. His hand moved from her chin to the back of the neck to pull her closer. Just before their lips met her pager vibrated on the table.

"Shit!" April exclaimed, leaping off him leaving him cold.

"9-1-1? I thought I had the day off... Um. Stay here! I'll be back soon... Maybe. I'll, um, call you from the hospital." Grabbing her keys off the hook and throwing her hair in a ponytail. It was obvious she was flustered from what had just happened between them and now it was awkward. What the fuck had he done? He threw his head back on the couch and stared up at the ceiling.

...

(April's POV)

Had that really happened? She jumped in her car and checked herself in the mirror.

"Oh my god." She whispered as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Normally she always styled her hair and wore makeup but she looked so bare without it. She threw her phone and pager on the passenger seat and started her drive to the hospital. Some random radio station started playing some cheesy love song

"Kiss me like you want to be loved..."

In frustration she slammed the button on the radio turning it off. Today she would drive in silence, she needed to think about what had happened in her apartment with Jackson. She pulled up to a red light.

"DAMMIT!" It was going to take forever to get to the hospital in this traffic. She slammed her fists on the steering wheel gaining some strange looks from the guy next to her.

"Oh, bite me!" She yelled through the window.

A shrill ding sounded from the seat next to her. As a doctor April knew it was a bad idea to check your phone on the road.

"Whatever!" she said to herself snatching the phone up. The bright screen read a text sent from Arizona.

"False alarm... everything is cool. Take the day off! -AZ"

She breathed a sigh of relief as she pulled into the next lane. While she was out she might as well get some coffee for her and Jackson. It was Seattle so there was a coffee shop on each corner but before she could turn toward the nearest Starbucks she noticed she had started driving in the direction of her apartment building. She parked her car and practically ran up the stairs. She couldn't believe what she was about to do. Frantically opening the door she threw it open. And threw her phone and keys on the counter. Jackson was sitting on the couch watching some morning tv show with his feet up on the coffee table.

"April?" He stood up and started at her.

Kicking the door closed she walked over to where he was standing. She stood in front of him biting her lip as she stared at his.

"April... What are you-?" His words faded.

She wanted to explain to him that she wanted to kiss him too that morning when her pager went off. Something had pulled her from her car to the apartment. Words seemed impossible in this moment.

"April?" He questioned her again.

She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him down on the couch before falling on top of him crashing their lips together. This wasn't like the kiss she expected earlier. The one she had expected was going to be soft and simple but this one was like no kiss she had ever experienced before. It was full of passion and hunger like they were magnets pulling towards each other. She wrapped her legs around his waist and fisted her hands in the cloth of his shirt. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she was almost sure he could feel it pressed against his chest. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.

"How long have you wanted to do that?"

"Too long." She laughed before pecking his lips again.

"But tell me if you want to stop or if it goes too far." His hands moved from her hair to her waist.

"Okay."

Was all she could manage to whisper before kissing him again.

Kissing him felt so good. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. He was by far the best kisser she knew, not that she had kissed many people before him. She tightened her legs around his waist and grabbed at his shirt, she wanted to do everything to be closer to him in this moment. Without warning he flipped her over on her back. She wondered how had he been able to do that without breaking the kiss? She was pressed into the sofa cushion with his weight on top of her. She deepened the kiss by opening her mouth. She let out a soft moan when their tongues met.

"Oh my god I'm sorry!" She surprised herself a little bit and it was embarrassing.

"Why are you sorry? I thought it was sexy." His mouth moved to her neck, gently pressing kisses against her skin.

Sexy was not something people generally called her. She liked the fact that he thought something she had done was sexy. His mouth on her neck was a sensation she had never experienced before and she wanted to let him explore further but something pulled her back. His hand snaked up her shirt. The warm touch on her bare skin made her shiver. His hand moved further up her shirt before she yelled out

"Too far! Too far!" She slapped her hand across her forehead knowing she had just ruined the mood.

"It's okay." He reassured her.

"We don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with." God he was amazing, most guys weren't like this. He was different and she wanted to let him touch her, feel her, explore her but it was too early. She knew she could trust him but they needed to see where this was gonna go. Was this a one time thing? Was he going to kiss her again? God she wanted him to kiss her again. That's all she wanted to do now.

"I'm, gonna make something to eat now. Do you want anything?" Why would she say that? She didn't want to make food right now she just wanted to kiss him again.

"Um, sure."

She rolled out from underneath him and made her way into the kitchen. Her body was cold now without him on top of her.

"Hey April?" He asked.

"Yes?" Spinning around on her heel she turned to face him.

"Nevermind."
