Chapter 4 - Explanations

Jess

"Do you want to come with me and get a coffee?" he asked kindly, I thought about it for a moment and nodded in responce. I got up from my chair at the ADD and made my way to the canteen with Becker in an uncomfortable silence. I sat down at a table whilst Becker made some coffee "Are you going to tell me about last night?" he asked me, obvioulsy he had spoken to Abby and she had told him about my outburst. When I didn't answer he tried a different approach "Is it because of me and the argument we had last night?" he asked and sat next to me, putting the coffee infront of me.

I sipped the coffee "You hurt me last night... and scared me. I was telling you something important and you treated me like I wasn't important" he looked down at the table for a few seconds and then looked back at my face.

He grabbed my hand across the table and I moved away "I'm sorry Jess, I really am, I listened to you though... I got rid of her. You were right she wasn't any good for Jake. I'm sorry for hurting you and scaring you. If I could take it back then I would" he explained. What did he want me to say? That everything was OK and that I forgive him? "What did you mean last night when you said, I'm a bigger doormat then you... how are you a doormat?" he questioned.

"I let you talk me into anything, you ask me to babysit and I'll say yes of course, you know how I feel about you... it's not exactly that hard, I'm not very subtle and yet I let you walk all over me... not anymore" I picked up my coffee from the table and left the canteen and went back to the ADD.

As the rest of the day went on Becker seemed to avoid me at all costs. I don't know weather he was feeling guilty or something but every time I was walking down a corridoor and he was there he would walk in the opposite direction or walked into one of the rooms or if he was in the hub he avoided the ADD and me at all costs.

Becker

I didn't know what I was supposed to say to Jess, I fely so guilty about what I had done to her. Thinking back to when I met Jess she wasn't very subtle I suppose and I treated her so badly, I don't know how I'm going to get her to forgive me, it will have to be something big. I owed Jess.

I walked into the canteen and Jess was standing in there with her back to me "Hi, how are you?" I asked as I stood next to her at the counter and got a biscuit out of the bisuit tin.

"Fine" she stated and turned to walk away but I stopped her and grabbed her arm to stop her "What are you doing?" she questioned.

I brought her closer to me and leaned down and placed my lips on hers and it took her a few seconds but she returned the kiss but we were interupted by someone clearing their throats from behind us, we turned around to see Lester standing there "Please take this else where, this is the work place" he said annoyed and left te room.

She looked at me with shock on her face "I feel the same way about you, I shouldn't of done what I did to you because it was wrong, do you think you could find it in your heart to forgive me?" I asked her, she looked up at me and into my eyes, then she leaned her head in towards mine and her soft plump lips touched mine. I couldn't control myself, I put my hands on her waist and pulled her closer to me, kissing her with as much passion as I could muster. We pulled away after a few minutes "Is that a yes?" I asked.

"Make me a hot chocolate and we'll see" she said, she sat down on one of the chairs and pointed me in the direction of the hot chocolate waiting to be made.

After work that night Jess agreed to come to my apartment and see Jake because he missed her, when she walked through the door Jake camr running towards her and wrapped his arms around her "Jess" she giggled and we all went into the living room, I paid the babysitter and she left "Anna's gone, are you going to stay now. Are you going to be dad's girlfriend?" he asked her excitedly, she looked at me and nodded, Jake jumped up and ran to his room and came back out a few minutes later with some toys "Jess play race cars with me and dad" he said excitedly.

The rest of the night me and Jess played games with Jake until it was his bedtime and he insisted that Jess tucked him into bed tonight and I loved they way that they interacted with eachother. If anyone else was going to be his mother, apart from Stacey, Jess was the perfect one to do it.

The next day me and Jess had the day off work so we decided to take Jake out to the park for the day and I would of loved to spend the rest of my life like this. Me, Jess and Jake.

I know it is super super short but enjoy it because happiness doesnt't last long in my story's... haha xxx
