I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reviewed for all the nice comments. It means a lot that people like the story. So please continue to R&R and let me know what you think.


JJ woke to the ringing of her cell phone. Reaching over the textbooks she had just been using as pillows she grabbed it. Wiping sleep from her eyes she brought it to her ear. "Hello?" She answered her voice thick with sleep.

"Hey sweetheart did I wake you up?" JJ smiled when she heard Gregori's voice. She realized that he had called her sweetheart for the second time that night and she loved it.

"Yeah but I shouldn't have been sleeping anyway. I was trying to get work done so that I could sleep in tomorrow cause I don't have class or work."

"I hate to ask the obvious question but what's the point of working to sleep in when you go to bed late anyway?" Gregori chuckled.

"Its not that late." JJ said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Umm, JJ it half past three."

"WHAT?!?" JJ shrieked, cringing what she heard Gregori gasp. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I've been known to forget about the sensitive hearing when I'm on the phone with vamps. I can't tell you how many times I've made my brothers or parents temporarily deaf. Are you okay?" She asked.

"I can still hear your beautiful voice so no damage was done."

"But, three being early for you, aren't you supposed to be at work?" She asked as she made her way to her bedroom.

"I am at work. I just got out of a meeting with my boss. It seems that he took the liberty of booking a meeting for me tomorrow night. Right in the middle of what I will from now on be calling JJ time."

JJ giggled at that. "Aww, that's sweet, I like my Gregori time too. What time is this ill planned meeting of yours?"

"Midnight."

"Oh well that's not too bad. How about once you've woken up and gotten ready for your day why don't you call me. Then you can teleport right into my apartment. We could spend time together watching movies and talking until you have to get to your meeting. Then you can just teleport there. Because I'll be damned if I miss my last chance of Gregori time for the next few days."

"Why would it be your last chance?"

"Oh, I forgot. I meant to tell you earlier. I'm heading out of town for the weekend to visit my parents. I fly out early Friday afternoon and my dad is teleporting me back on Sunday."

"I'm glad you're getting to spend time with your parents, the way you talk about them it's clear how much you love them. But that's an entire weekend with no JJ time. I might just go into withdraw." JJ could practically hear the pout in his voice.

"I know but I haven't seen them in weeks and I miss them. Besides it's either I go to see them or they come here. And my dad knows about you, not your name but he has ways of finding that out. So which would you prefer were to happen?" She laughed.

"I guess I'm not going to see you for the weekend huh?"

"That's what I thought." JJ laughed. "So tomorrow night sound good to you?"

"Of course it sounds good. Now you my love need rest. Go to sleep and I will see you tomorrow night."

"I'm already in my room."

"Good. Goodnight and sweet dreams."

"Good night."

The next day JJ woke in the late morning. Before lunch had even rolled around she had gone to Romatech to visit Shanna and Tino, picked up a case of O and returned home. She spent all afternoon working on her various assignments and papers and such. By the time she was finished everything that was due for the next week she looked up to the clock to realize it was already 5pm. Being May JJ knew that the sun would be setting sometime around 7 or 8. JJ packed up her books and threw them into her book bag. By the time she straightened the apartment, made and ate dinner, grabbed a shower, dressed, did make-up it was already around 7:30. Sighing she sat down on her couch and decided to read. About an hour later her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey is now a good time?" Gregori asked.

"One second, let me just turn off the alarm or you'll go deaf." JJ got off the couch and went to the panel by the door. "Oh just an FYI its always a good time. There you go the alarm's off." No sooner had the word off left her lips than Gregori materialized in front of her. Smiling JJ jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck as her lips found his. JJ smiled into the kiss when Gregori immediately responded. When they broke apart Gregori laid a kiss to her forehead.

"Miss me?" He chuckled as he held her close.

"Yeah." JJ sighed as Gregori's scent surrounded her.

"You know, some people might think that it's too early for that. Seeing as we only met a few days ago." He said as he squeezed her close.

"As long as you're not one of those few people," Gregori shook his head, "then I don't give two shits. I feel what I feel and that's it."

Gregori laughed. "I love a decisive woman." He said before kissing her.

"Mmm. So do you want to actually come in or just make out standing in the entrance way?" JJ chuckled. Suddenly Gregori bent down and picked her up bridal style and started carrying her into the living room. JJ burst out laughing as she hugged his neck.

Gently Gregori set her down on the couch before going over to her rack of DVDs. "So what would you like to watch?"

"Hmm, how about an action?" JJ said sitting up on the couch.

"Okay, what one?"

"Oh no buster. You are helping out with the movie choice." JJ laughed shaking her head.

"Okay, okay." Gregori held his hands above his head in surrender. "How about I give you three choices and then you pick one? Will that be enough involvement for you?"

"Perfect thank-you. Now lets hear them."

"League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Boondock Saints, or Swat. Which will it be?" He asked as he straightened holding out the DVD cases.

"Hmm, this is a tough. But I'm going to go with the Boondock Saints. Lord knows I've seen it enough to recite it to you."

"Alright." He laughed as he put it in. "The Irish do-gooders it is." He returned to the couch. Lifting JJ up he sat down and placed her on his lap.

JJ smiled and snuggled into Gregori. Every once in a while, true to her word, JJ would recite parts of the movie each time earning herself a laugh from Gregori. Somewhere around the hotel ambush scene JJ found herself turned around on Gregori's lap looking at him. Smiling she took his lips with her own. Half an hour later the two found themselves lying on the couch, JJ on top of Gregori. A click sounded beside them and JJ looked to find the TV had shut itself off. Turning back to Gregori she smiled.

"Looks like we missed most of the movie."

Gregori fisted his right hand in her hair. "I like the one I've been enjoying better." With that he used the hand in her hair to pull her lips back to his. A few minutes late JJ felt Gregori sitting up under her. He then moved to stand bring her with him. Once on her feet JJ grabbed his shoulders to pull her body closer to his. Suddenly everything went black and the next thing she knew Gregori was pushing her down on her bed. She broke the kiss to look up at him.

"Gregori-" She breathed but he cut her off with another kiss.

"I know. I just wanted us to be more comfortable." He cupped her cheek in his hand. "I am happy with nothing more than this at this point, however I am all for continuing our very nice horizontal make-out session."

JJ wrapped her arms around his neck. "I think I can work with that." She said before pulling him back to her.

Hours later JJ and Gregori were lying together on her bed. JJ had her head resting on his chest and her arm around his middle. Gregori was playing with her hair with one hand and his other arm was lying on top of hers on his stomach. JJ sighed and snuggled closer to Gregori.

"When do you get back from your trip?" He asked rubbing his hand up and down her arm.

"My dad will be bring me back some time Sunday night. Why?"

"Well one I was hoping I could see you when you come back. And there's this ball at work for the vamps anyway in a couple of weeks and I was hoping that you would go with me."

JJ sat up to look him in the eye. "Really? You'd want to take me? Wouldn't that be something that you'd look better taking Simone or one of her friends to instead a plain mortal?" JJ knew Simone well; she worked for JJ's uncle.

Gregori reached up to cup her face in his hands. "Yes JJ I really want to take you. If you don't want to go that's fine I'll go alone but I am not taking Simone when I have the chance to take you. Besides out of the two of you Simone is the plain one. So sweetheart, want to dress up like the princess I know you are and come to the ball?"

JJ rubbed a hand over his cheek. "Do I still get the prince at the end of the night?"

Gregori pulled her down to his chest. "You already have him love. You already have him."

"Yes. Yes I'll go to the ball with you."

Gregori kissed her forehead. "Good." Gregori sighed. "I could lay here with you forever."

"Hmm." JJ agreed.

"But unfortunately if I don't leave now I will be late to meet my boss before the meeting."

"What time is it?" JJ asked surprised that it could be that late already.

"11:27, I'm supposed to meet him at 11:30."

JJ sat up, frowning slightly. She really wished she could slow time when Gregori was around. "Well I guess you have to go then."

Gregori sat up and kissed her lips. "I wish I could stay." He pulled her into a tight hug. "Have fun with your parents. Call me Sunday when you get home, I'll come over."

JJ nodded and squeezed him tight. Gregori kissed the top of her head and then got off the bed. Blowing her a kiss he disappeared. JJ sighed; she really was falling for Gregori fast. It was going to be a long weekend without him. Shaking her head JJ got off the bed and began packing. She would definitely be calling him the minute her dad left on Sunday.


Okay so there it was. I hope you all enjoyed it. I have no idea when the next update will be, tomorrow night I'm going to a Dream Theatre concert with my little sister so I know it won't be this weekend. I do know that the next chapter will for sure contain her time in Scotland and most likely (not completely sure) her return and seeing Gregori. For those of you waiting to see what happens when Gregori and JJ share their secrets it will happen in the few chapters.
