Chapter Ten

The breeze was cool as it brushed across the open spaces of the park where only a couple walked hand in hand along the side of the still lake waters. Nick and Jenny walked in silence just enjoying each others company as they breathed in the warm cool air and taking in the scenery around them. The pale moon's light reflected from the water's surface casting a pale light over the pair as they walked along the edge. Jenny placed her head on Nick's shoulder as they walked seeking comfort from the dark, Nick's lips twitched upwards to form a smile and removed his hand from hers and placed it around her shoulder pulling her closer.

Jenny wrapped one arm around his lower back in reply bringing they body heat closer together, both in bliss that they had found love within one another. Nick rested his head on top of hers feeling the soft hair against his faces his sighed in contentment life couldn't get any better he thought. He hoped Jenny felt the same way he knew she loved him after all she had told him back at the house and the kiss they had shared point both points of view across. He saw a bench up ahead he tilted Jenny's head and nodded in the direction of it, she nodded in reply and they sat down together.

Jenny relaxed against Nick resting her head on his shoulder once more and felt his head rest on top of hers, she couldn't imagine life without Nick now that fateful day at the ARC proved that notion. She felt Nick kiss her forehead causing a small smile to graced her beautiful face, Nick was a romantic man from what she could tell since they started a relationship he had been nothing but a charming and caring man towards her. Nick always fascinated her with the way he interacted with the rest of the team, he was like a father to Conner and Abby, he and Becker shared a great understanding of one another, he had a fond spot for Sarah always looking out for her with her work and strangely he had Lester shared a brotherly relationship always arguing but had deep respect underneath it all.

When the pair first met it was a strange first words, he had claimed she was Claudia Brown and back then she had written him of has a mad man. Over time she really had thought he was mad he would risk his own life for others and on the odd occasion call her Claudia, she had denied she had feelings for him at first thinking it was just a phase and gratitude for him saving her from the shark. When her fiancée claimed she was seeing another man she gave up trying to convince him otherwise, and then she knew she had some growing feelings for the professor which steadily grew with each passing day she saw the man.

"How do you think Becker and Sarah's date is going, surely they will do something else than just go out to dinner" Jenny asked Nick to see what he thought of the couple. Nick thought for a moment, he liked the idea of Becker and Sarah getting together he could always sense the chemistry between them just like Abby and Connor. At the thought of Connor he smiled the young student had grown up a lot since he first met him, he and Abby hadn't changed at all with the timeline he felt responsible for the pair. In Fact they reminded him of Shaggy and Scooby-Do, he shook himself thoughts going back the question asked.

"Well depends how there date went I mean they could be walking in a park talking about how evil you were for not letting them set themselves up or ….." Nick trailed off hinting something that he didn't need to say in words. Jenny's mouth dropped at what Nick was implying Sarah wouldn't jump in to bed with Becker, and she was sure the young Captain wasn't that sort of man sleeping with someone on a first date. Nick Chuckled "No I'm sure Becker will drop her off home stay for a coffee then most likely go home himself" Nick finished and relaxed on Jenny's head once more.

The couple sat in that position for an hour before Nick and Jenny agreed they should head back to her house. As they walked through the front door they both stopped for a moment before sharing a brief kiss which was nothing more than a few brushes of lips. Jenny had many thoughts racing through her mind should she invite Nick to stay it night it was rather late after all, Nick seemed to read her mind and said quietly.

"Ill take the sofa or the spare room whatever you've got" Nick didn't want to rush her into anything this was his first relationship in eight years the last thing he wanted to do was to ruin it by jumping into bed with her when she wasn't ready. Jenny looked him in the eyes and saw nothing but compassion swimming around clear for her to see. She walked him to the spare room which contained a double bed with a dresser and a door which lead to a small bathroom. Nick turned around and smiled to her before placing a tender kiss upon her soft lips.

"Goodnight Jenny Lewis sweet dreams" Nick whispered softly he noticed her face was filled with emotion at his words and actions. She took his face into her hands and crushed her lips against his in a kiss filled with passion and love. As she pulled away she could see the shock on his face and slowly she began to back out of the room.

"Goodnight Nick Cutter" she was about to close the door but suddenly opened it again and added "I love you" she finished before closing the door and began to walk to her room. She herd the door open once more and turned around to see Nick's head poking out the door with a cheeky grin spread across his handsome face.

"I love you too" Nick said in return and after seeing Jenny smile he closed to door quietly and prepared to go to sleep for the night. Nick lay there in the spare bedroom on its fine spacious bed thinking about the love of his life who was just down the hall from him, he smiled at the last words they exchanged before they had gone to respective rooms. He rolled over to the bedside lamp and turned it off shrouding the room in darkness, Nick closed his eyes his last though before he dozed off was Jenny's smiling face.

On the other side of the wall Jenny lay in her bed thinking and smiling at the events of the evening her and Nick had shared. She slowly began to drift of thinking about the future between her and Nick, she knew it was a bright future to come as long as Nick was with her and she and the ARC team stuck together. She slowly feel asleep with once again Nick Cutter on her mind as it had been for a past six months.
