Jess was going through her wardrobe trying to figure out what to wear but everything she tried on she didn't like.

"Arrggghhhh!" Jess sighed and groaned as she threw herself onto the bed lying on her back with her arms above her head. Don walked into the room and smirked as he got on top of her and kissed her deeply as his hands explored her body.

"What a day huh?" Don said as he kissed her again. "Yeah, I'm just glad it's over though something tells me this case is just beginning" Don looked at her. "How do you mean?" Jess looked up at him before sitting up on the edge of the bed. "I don't know, a construction worker from the 9/11 memorial site was murdered. Jason Derby, his wife was having an affair and was fired from his previous job at Mac Donald's two weeks ago, I spoke with the wife but I got nothing but abuse from her, but she has a rock solid alibi so she didn't do it and the guys records all came back clean"

Jess sighed and Don pulled her into a hug. "Maybe someone has a grudge against construction workers, possibly one was fired from working there and is taking his anger out on the rest of the workers"

"Yeah, I thought of that but something else don't add up" Jess looked at Don and sighed. "Danny found a strand of hair on Jason Derby's body that came back to William Jones, he was my partner when I worked for Jersey PD, and well, he was believed to have been killed during 9/11" Jess said before getting up and finding something to wear, she didn't want to tell Don she was in the Tower when it collapsed. She had settled on a pair of black trousers with a purple silk halter neck top which showed her curves perfectly and a pair of black knee high boots.

"So, how did a hair of a dead man get onto our vic? And after eight years as well that's kind of a very long time, unless it was planted there but ah, they'll figure it out Jess" She turned and looked at him and nodded with a smile before getting dressed and began to do her hair. She decided to curl it which drove Don wild and she knew it. Don also got dressed, settling for a plain black tight shirt and black jeans. He looked at Jess as she finished her hair. "Damn you look sexy, I might be able to control myself" He said with a cheeky wink as she smirked at him. "You're not too bad yourself detective and ah, I guess you'll just have to learn to keep your hands to yourself whilst we're in public" She said before the two burst out laughing. "You ready?" She nodded and Don checked that he had everything before the two left the apartment and Don drove them to the restraunt.

Arriving at the restraunt, Don got out of the car and went around the side and opened the door for Jess, she took his offered hand and stepped out of the car and hung her bag over her shoulder as Don locked up the car before sliding his around Jess' waist, she rested her head on his shoulder before sliding her hand into the back pocket of his jeans to give his ass a squeeze with a smirk on her face before the two headed inside and Don looked at the waiter.

"Table for Flack" Don looked at Jess. "Yeah I kind of already had this booked" She looked at him. "You're getting very sneaky detective" she said before kissing him and the waiter brought them to their table which was by the window overlooking the docks. "Don, this is...wow this is beautiful" Jess said before she sat down at the table. A vase sat in the middle of the table with a rose in it as well as a bottle of wine. The restraunt had been decorated with a valentines theme and love songs played. Jess looked at Don and smiled. "So how long have you been planning this?" He smirked "Quite a while actually, I wanted to make it really special" she looked at him and smiled as she sniffed the rose. "It already is" she winked and grabbed his hand from across the table before looking through the menu.

"See anything you like?" Flack asked looking at her, she was so beautiful and he loved everything about her, he wasn't even about to contemplate what his life would be like if he had of lost her, and tonight he planned on making her his for the rest of his life. "Ah yeah there is so much I want that I can't even decide" Jess said with a chuckle as Don poured them both a glass of wine. "Here" Jess smiled and took the glass and sipped the wine. "Hmm, this is really good" she winked and the waiter came to their table.

"Are you ready to order?" He asked with a polite smile, Jess nodded. "Ah, yeah I think so" Jess smiled and ordered her meal after Don did and he looked at her. "Anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are?" She looked at him and licked her lips. "Hmm, yeah there's this one guy, you might know him" He smirked "Oh yeah? Tell me about him" She laughed and leaned forward a little. "Well, he has these most hypnotising blue eyes it's like looking into the ocean, he likes to think he's funny even when he's not and he makes a good attempt at telling a joke" Jess chuckled and rubbed his hand with her thumb "He's also a real charmer, goes by the name of Don Flack, ever heard of him?" Jess chuckled and Flack looked around him before looking back at her "Nah, never heard of him, though sounds like I have some competition" She laughed and leaned forward and captured his lips with hers "I love you" she said gazing lovingly into his eyes, he was a little shocked but he was more than happy as he felt the same way about her, they had never actually said those words, something Don regretted when Jess got shot, but he vowed he would let her know how he felt more often. "I love you too Jess" he said with a wink before their meals came.

They were half way through the meal and laughing and joking with each other and just enjoying being able to spend the night together. The captain had promised Don that neither of them would be called in and let them enjoy their evening together. He didn't mind their relationship out of work, they worked well together and were able to get on with the job which all that mattered in his book. Don wiped his mouth and looked at Jess. "I'll be right back" Jess nodded "Ok" Don got up and left the table and went to speak with the waiter, he was a bag of nerves but he tried not to let it show. Jess watched him leave before finishing off her meal and having a look at the desert menu.

Don came back a short while later and sat back down again. "You ok?" Jess asked "I'm here with the most beautiful woman on the planet, I couldn't be happier" Jess blushed a little and Don squeezed her hand. "Us Against The World" by Westlife began to play which had become their song, Jess smiled at him and Don gazed lovingly into her eyes. "Jess, there's a reason I brought you here tonight, and I wanted this night to be really special for you" Jess smiled and squeezed his hand, letting him speak and not butt in. "You mean everything to me Jess, I don't know what I would have done if I had of lost you, and I've been doing a lot of thinking, I don't want to lose you, ever, you're the only woman I want, the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with" Jess smiled and wiped away a tear that was rolling down her cheek. "Don't cry, you're too beautiful to cry" Don said rubbing her hand with his thumb before he pulled a red box from his pocket and getting to his knee in front of her, Jess looked at him, her heart was racing and everyone turned to look at them.

'Cause it's us against the world

You and me against them all

If you're listening to these words

Know that we are standing tall

I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall

'Cause it's us against the world, tonight

Don looked at Jess as he opened the box with a beautiful diamond ring inside. "I love you Jess, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" Don smiled and Jess covered her mouth with her hand "Oh my God, Don I....yes....yes I will" Jess smiled and burst into tears as Don placed the ring on her finger before lifting her up and swinging her around, she wrapped her arms round his neck and hugged him as a roar of applause filled the restraunt, the two looked into each others eyes before sharing one hell of a passionate kiss "I love you" Jess smiled and hugged him as Don massaged the back of her head "I love you too Jess, it's us against the world babe" Don said before hugging her tightly.

The two paid for the meals and received a bottle of champagne to congratulate them as Don took Jess for a boat ride across the river. "How long have you been wanting to ask me?" Jess looked at Don as he wrapped his arm around her. "I've been thinking about it for a while, even before you got shot, but that all kind of put things in perspective, that I could lose the love of my life and well, I finally plucked up the courage to ask you, I was afraid you would say no" Jess looked at him and kissed him deeply "You're the love of my life Don, I'd be crazy to say no" Jess winked and kissed him again as the stars formed into the shape of a heart, or so that's how it looked anyway. Don looked at her and started singing.

I've been touched by the hands of an Angel

I've been blessed by the power of love

And whenever you smile I can hardly believe that you're mine

This love is unbreakable, it's unmistakable

Each time I look in your eyes, I know why

This love is untouchable

A feeling my heart just can't deny

And each time you whisper my name, oh baby, I know why

This love is unbreakable

Don winked and kissed Jess deeply. The boat ride had ended and Don carried Jess back to the car with her laughing the whole way. The night had gone perfectly and neither of them could be happier. Jess got in the car and sang along to love songs on the radio as Don drove them home. Looking at Jess he laughed and sang along with her even if he didn't know the words.

Don had a lot more planned for this evening. He wasn't taking her home but instead he had booked them into a hotel for the night. Arriving at the hotel, Don got out of the car and Jess got out and looked at him. "Ah, Don...what's going on?" He looked at her and smirked. "Booked us into a hotel for the night, come on, this evening ain't over yet" He winked and kissed her with passion before lifting her into his arms and walked into the hotel, she looked at him once they got to the lobby. "You can put me down now Romeo" Jess laughed and Don set her down and booked them in before they were taken to their room. Don had indeed been sneaky about things and had already packed a few things for the occasion and their bags were already in the room. Jess looked around and couldn't believe her eyes. "Don this is....oh my God this is perfect" She smiled and wrapped her arms round his neck and kissed him. "Glad you like it babe" he said with a cheeky wink.

She looked back at him and pulled him into a deep kiss and began to unbutton his shirt, he pinned her against the wall as his hands explored her body and pulled her top off. Clothes came off quicker than they were put on as they were both standing in their underwear. She seduced him with her eyes, the one thing that drove him wild every time and sent his heart racing, he felt weak at the knees as he followed her into the bedroom, his eyes never left her perfect body, her perfect tan and curves "Come here big boy" She said in a seductive voice, he walked towards the bed his eyes still on her perfect body as she wagged her finger for him to follow. He moved closer to her his hands falling to her breasts as he rubbed her nipples before taking her bra off and throwing it to the ground, his lips captured her soft ruby red lips, she was sending him wild, showing him paradise like she always did. She fell on to the soft duvet that was covered with rose petals and pulled him on top of her, he had a night of passion planned that involved a lot of sweating between the sheets he was going to make love to her like he did the first time. His eyes locked with hers again as they engaged in another firey kiss that was filled with passion, the fire was blazing in the bedroom the silent witness to the passion that was about to take place.
