Bit of a short chapter and I'm sorry for the wait, hope you enjoy though!
As they walked into Nikki's apartment, Jack helped Nikki to take her coat off before hanging it up on the coat rack. A smile washed over Nikki's face as she made her way through to the kitchen.
"I know what you were doing tonight," Nikki called out to Jack who was now taking his own jacket off.
"I don't know what you mean," Jack beamed as he poked his head around the doorframe and joined her in the kitchen.
"Speaking to that woman and trying to make me jealous," she made eye contact with him, making sure he couldn't worm his way out.
Jack raised his eyebrows and edged closer to Nikki, not letting the eye contact drop, "Well I could say the same thing about you. You spoke to that James for the whole night."
Nikki shrugged her shoulders, "I didn't think you'd mind seeing as you insisted that you don't get jealous," she grinned. "Coffee?"
Finally breaking the contact, she turned to get two mugs down from the cupboard but she could feel Jacks eyes watching her every move.
Jack sighed, "So maybe I was a little jealous."
"A little bit?" She scoffed, interrupting him.
"Okay," Jack held his hands up. "I was very jealous but it's only because I like you so much."
She instantly blushed at his words, "Jack," she breathed. "I thought we were meant to be taking things slow."
"Sorry, it's just seeing you in that dress and you paying so much attention to another man," he paused. "I can't help the way I feel Nikki." He stepped closer towards her.
Nikki felt her breath hitched as the hairs on the back of her neck stood up on ends, "Sugar?" She asked.
He placed a hand on hers, "You know as much as I do, I don't want a coffee and I'm sure you don't either."
Nikki shook her head, "So much for taking things slow," she rolled her eyes at herself. "I don't want to rush things because I've been hurt so much in the past and I want to be absolutely sure but I just want you to be mine," she turned to face him, running a finger along the buttons of his shirt.
"Come here," Jack exhaled, wrapping an arm around her neck, he pulled her into a hug. He felt Nikki's body relax as he held on to her. "I meant what I said earlier, I'm happy to take this at the same pace that you want."
Nikki let go slowly but remained in his arms, "So, what would you say if I said that I don't want to take it as slow as I initially said? Because after tonight, it's made me realise that I'm so sick of waiting for things to ha…"
She was interrupted by Jacks lips on her own. At first she was taken back before she came crashing down back to earth and realised what was going on and she leaned into him, deepening the kiss. Jacks hands ran through her blonde locks whilst her hands fumbled with his shirt. Their lips parted as Jack felt her unbuttoning his shirt.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked.
Nikki nodded, "Absolutely."
"How about that coffee then?" Nikki asked as she walked back into the bedroom, tying up her dressing gown, she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Jack smirked, sitting up, "A coffee would be perfect."
Nikki leaned over and placed a kiss on Jacks lips before standing up and leaving the room. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she walked through to her kitchen. Biting her lip, she continued to make the coffees that she had started earlier.
As she poured the boiling water into the mugs, she felt arms snake around her waist and a pair of lips planting kisses across her neck and shoulders. Goosebumps covered her body as she tried to concentrate on making the drinks.
"I was going to bring this to you," she spoke.
"I know but I couldn't wait that long without you," Jack replied in between kisses.
"You can be really sometimes you know that," she chuckled, turning around in his arms to face him and wrapping her arms around his neck. Her lips collided with his as the passion that had only just sizzled down began to resurface again.
Nikki pulled away, "How about we watch a movie? I'm pretty sure I've got some ice cream in the freezer."
"I couldn't think of anything better," he grinned, letting go of her and grabbing his coffee. "I'll go and pick one out." Jack headed back towards the bedroom.
They hadn't made it through twenty minutes of the film before Nikki had fallen asleep, Jack looked down, still running his hands through her hair as she rested her head on his chest. Reaching over and turning the TV off, Jack closed his eyes and joined her in a blissful slumber.
