Apologies for the long wait, guys. I hope you will like the new chapter. All kind of comments and reviews will be really appreciated. :)

Jen was sitting in one of the wood chairs near the film set trying to relax between takes with a book. Her schedule was absolutely full, she barely had time to sleep this week and on top of that she was sick and coughing all the time.

On one hand she felt quite exhausted but on the other work was keeping her mind busy and blocking the thoughts of Lana. Most of Jen's scenes were with Jamie and Jen loved working with him. He was sweet and kind, always trying to make her laugh and of course he was the perfect gentleman. Although they haven't worked with each other for long Jen considered him a good friend. She was trying to focus on her book but because of the non-stopping coughing that was a pretty hard task.

It had been a week since the day she decided to run a few miles to clear her head after the night she had spent with Lana. Of course because of her great luck while she was running it had started to rain and a day later she had a cold.

Flashback

Jen opened her eyes slowly, the room was bright and quiet. Time for some coffee she thought as she stood up.

The pain in her neck reminded her where she had slept and with whom. Lana was sleeping in one of the armchairs which was odd. Well that's interesting I am pretty sure she was sleeping somewhere else last night thought Jen while heading to the kitchen, she really needed her morning coffee.

"Oh, you're awake!" said Jen with a smile as she returned from the kitchen holding two cups in her hand. "I made some coffee."

"Good morning and thank you" greeted Lana emotionless, taking the cup that Jen was offering.

From the way she was avoiding looking at her and the guarded posture of her body it was obvious to Jen that Lana was in a bad mood, she just didn't know why. Last thing she remembered was Lana sleeping, her head in Jen's lap and that was it. Well, let's try to break the ice.

"Black with little milk, no sugar" explained Jen, taking Lana off guard.

The brunette woman was looking at the blonde totally surprised. "How did you know?"

"I pay attention" said Jen with a proud smile, taking a sip of her coffee. The hot liquid was like magic for the blonde and she moans in delight. Lana's eyes were on her again, burning her. "I am sorry" apologized Jen with a little giggle "I just love coffee, it's like… a warm hug for the brain."

At this Lana laughed and tried her own coffee "Mmm, just the way I like it."

"You are welcome" said Jen with a big proud smile on her face. She could feel that the brunette's mood started to change in a good way. "How did you sleep?"

"Fine" spat Lana and actually ran towards the bathroom. "And here we are right back at the beginning" mumbled Jen with a frown. "Lana, do you need some help there?" Jen asked biting her bottom lip to try and stop herself from laughing out loud. Lana was still in the bathroom and the blonde was sure that the Latina was just hiding.

"No, thank you!" Lana shouted in frustration, "And you should stop giggling like a 5 years old, I can hear you through the door." "Sorry, LP" Jen apologized with a smirk "What are you doing there anyway?"

"So not your business, Jennifer" Lana shouted again. Jen loved when the brunette was angry, she could imagine Lana's grumpy face, the cutest thing ever. "Well, you've been there for 15 minutes now and I get bored easily, so…" explained Jen in a casual voice while leaning with her back on the bathroom door.

A few seconds later Lana opened the door with a loud "You're so annoying!" and the next moment Jen found herself into Lana's arms. "Shit…" Lana's hands were secured around Jen's waist, holding her close, while Jen's arms were wrapped around Lana's neck.

Jen felt like she was in one of those romantic movie scenes, where at the end of a beautiful tango both man and woman were devoting their feelings to each other through a passionate tight embrace. They were so close. Chocolate brown eyes staring at her with nothing but want and need.

She could feel Lana's breath on her lips warm, minty and inviting. But the blonde was afraid that even the slightest move would break the magical bubble that they were in. "Jen" whispered the brunette tightening her hold around the blonde's body. Jen's breath hitched in a silent plea for Lana to break the little space between them and finally join their lips.

But then of course life had other plans. "Jen, Lana, I'm home and I have Fred as a backup, so behave ladies!" came Ginny's joyful voice and just like that the magic of the moment was gone, leaving both Jen and Lana a little flustered and full of regrets. "Oh, Lana baby, here you are" exclaimed Fred flying towards the brunette giving her a giant hug and whispering a quick "Hi" towards Jen.

Jen tried to look normal and smiled at him. If she was a simple bystander she could've thought that the scene before her was quite endearing, two people in a loving embrace, but she wasn't and that brought her back to the ground. Lana had a boyfriend and every thought about her was forbidden.

She needed to try and forget about her, to be a total professional and nothing but a friend for the brunette. She just needed some time, some time and probably a very long run.

End Flashback

The vibration of her phone, announcing a new text message, brought Jen back from her memories.

Josh and I are going to the club tonight, so we were wondering if team J.J. would like to join us :P – Ginny

Jen laughed at the brunette's remark. She and Josh had come up with a nickname for her and Jamie – team J.J. and every time Ginny mentioned it Jen couldn't help herself but laugh. While Jen was thinking what she should reply, two hands covered her eyes and someone howled in her ear.

Jen immediately recognized the person and pulled him in front of her. "Hello, wolfy!" greeted the blonde with a huge grin on her face. "Morning, blondie!" Jamie purred with his deep Irish accent, giving Jen a smile of his own. "Did you miss me?"

"Time passes so slowly when you are not around, darling" Jen replied in a low voice, putting one of her hands on her heart in a fake desperation.

"How cruel of you to mock me like that" said Jamie with a pout. A mix of coughing and laughing was the blonde's response. A strand of hair covered the left side of Jen's face and a few seconds later Jamie's fingers were tucking it behind her ear.

He caressed her cheek and smiled at her. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm good" Jen smiled back, not bothering with removing his hand. She was used to his behavior such as gentle touches and friendly pats on the back. All of it showing her that he cared. "Ginny texted me" started the blonde through another couch "and asked if we want to join Josh and her tonight for some clubbing."

"Sure" he replied before scooping Jen up and lifting her from the chair "Come on, blondie, we have to work for a living!" Jen chuckled "Lead the way, wolfy!" He was right, it was time to shoot some Emma/Graham scenes.

A few hours later at Jen's trailer

"God, this cough is killing me, man!" exclaimed Jen after another burst of coughing.

Jamie was sitting on the couch, waiting for Jen to get ready, "Maybe you should see a doctor again, Jen." "Ugh, nooo" she frowned in response, "Don't you know some old Irish way of getting rid of it" the blonde joked. Jamie laughed at that and thought for a moment, "Well, I've heard that whiskey and honey can cure a cough, but…"

"It's worth a try at this point "Jen sighed sitting on the couch next to him. He was looking at her with concern, but nodded. "Alright, I know a place where we could go."

"Awesome!" agreed Jen giving him a high five. "You're the best wolfy!" both laughing at the inside joke. A second later a loud knock on the door startled them a little. "Come in!" shouted Jen.

"Jen, hi" greeted Lana with a little smile coming into the trailer. But her mood changed immediately after seeing that Jamie was there, "Oh, sorry… I didn't know you had company!"

"No problem, what's up?" Jen asked trying her best to look casual. Like seeing Lana was something totally normal and insignificant, like she hadn't been dreaming of this moment for the whole past week. And now here she is, Lana fucking Parrilla, looking so beautiful in one of her Regina outfits tight dress and red lipstick, like nothing else mattered, like she was made specifically to torture Jen.

"Jamie, could you give us a minute, please, I need to speak to Jen" asked Lana politely but emotionless, not even looking at him, like he wasn't even there and she was speaking to the wall. "Of course" trailed Jamie heading to the door. "Text me when you're ready to go, Jen."

"I will" Jen smiled at him. "Are you two going somewhere?" asked Lana trying to suppress the boiling jealousy. "We are going to have a drink and then we will go join Josh and Ginny at a club" explained Jen while she stood from the couch and starting gathering her stuff.

She really needed the distraction "What do you wanted to talk about?"

"I wanted to ask you how you were feeling" started Lana worriedly "I heard that you've been sick."

"Oh, that's really sweet of you Lana" said the blonde with a little fake smile, suppressing the urge to just glare at the brunette. "I am getting better, but I'm still dealing with the cough, ugh!"

"If I can do anything for you, just let me know" mumbled the Latina feeling the tension of being in the same room as Jen for the first time in a week.

"Thanks, a few drinks with wolfy will help, I'm sure" said Jen through another wave of coughing. "But I appreciate your concern, LP."

"Who?" asked Lana raising her eyebrows and clenching her jaw. "I meant Jamie, sorry" answered the blonde giggling. "I see…" murmured Lana

If Jen wasn't too busy with avoiding looking at the brunette she would have seen how Lana's whole body tensed and the furious expression of her face. Every sign of the woman's jealousy was in place. The inner battle of her thoughts was also there. They apparently already have nicknames for each other… How lovely!

"I have to go" said Jen in a rush, heading to the door.

"Have a good night, Lana."

"You too, Jen" replied Lana with eyes full of flames. We will see about that wolfy thing… She pulled out her phone and sent out a text to her other friend.

I feel like partying tonight, Gin. Where should I meet you and Josh? – xo-xo
