Chapter Eleven:

A/N: chapter Eleven, enjoy! please let me know what you think and feel free to give me ideas. I'd love to hear your Thoughts!

It's around nine when we all head back inside, it's why past the kids bedtimes I help them change into their pajamas, and tuck them into their beds. When I go back downstairs, Nick, Sander, Jamie and Jack are still clowning around,

"Guys remember what I said about not breaking the house. " they laugh and settle down a bit.

"I'm going for a walk I'll be back." I slip on my sweater and head out the door. I ignore Jack's catcall on staying away from trees; the air outside was nice and cool. I decide to just walk around the lit neighborhood, there were still families outside, enjoying the night air. It was really nice, I let my hair lose as I sit down on a bench and copse my eyes, as I listen to music.

"Hey Willow," I jump slightly at the sound of a familiar English accent, I find Parker standing in front me, I smile automatically.

"Hey Parker," he grins his golden eyes bright

"You recognize me?"

"who else has an English accent around here?" He chuckles, a deep rumbling sound.

"Are you lost?" I shake my head,

"No, I was just walking. Its almost ten thirty I'll have to get back." I stand.

"want me to walk you to Frost's house?" Parker offers his hands in the pocket of his leather jacket

"no, I'll be alright." There's a sudden dark look in his eyes but it's gone so quickly I think I must have imagined it.

"I'll walk you anyway," I shrug and begin to walk away, he follows. the musky scent of his cologne following him, it's a pleasant smell, but I remember the way Jack had smelled and secretly wish he was besides me, instead of Parker.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Parker looks at me as I laugh.

"Make it a dollar my thoughts are worth gold." He chuckles again,

"Okay then," he waits and stops I stop as well, he hands me a dollar bill and I give it back.

"Oh, your serious. I was was just kidding, I'm not thinking about anything important."

"You sure?" He tucks the dollar back into his pocket,

"I'm sure, " he strikes up a conversation about random topics, he makes me laugh several times, I don't realize we're outside of the house until he points it out.

"Thanks, bye Parker." He reaches out wraps a soft calloused hand Around my wrist.

"wait." I turn back and about to ask 'what's up' when he leans in and his lips brush up against my own, they're soft, slightly chapped and slightly cold. My body is stiffened in surprise as his other hand runs through my hair. I turn my head breaking the kiss.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I've just met you, and I'm sorry Willow." My face feels warm as I stand there in front of him, I step back and shake my head

"I'll see you around Parker," my voice is shaky as I turn and run to the door. I shut it and head into the living room, the guys are still there, they notice me coming in. But I guess they also notice the blush on my checks and what I know must be a stricken look on my face. I turn and run up the stairs, I throw myself down on the bed.

God, this can't be happening! I just met the dude, and he goes along and kisses me! I find my fingers touching my lips and I groan in frustration.

No! No! No! No! No, no, no, no, no.

I burry my face in my pillows and try and calm down. I take a shower and change into my pajamas.

I'm just falling asleep when I remember I hadn't given Jack his pain meds. I get up and walk over to his room its around one in the morning. When I knock I'm surprised to hear that his voice doesn't sound heavy with sleep.

"you didn't take your pain meds." I whisper softly as I walk in, the remote is in his hand a hockey game playing on the tv before he turns it off.

"What happened early, you looked like you saw a ghost or something, except your checks were red instead of pale. Jamie went outside and said he saw Parker Black walking away; did he do are try something with you? Willow? did he?" I look him and see the worry in his blue eyes,

"no, he, he just walked me home and when we got here he.. He kissed me and I was startled and I ran inside. That's all," He seems to believe me, but his gaze hardens.

"He kissed you? I expect you bashed his head in or something." There's a joking tone in his voice but it doesn't reach his eyes,

"No, I was surprised and I ran inside." Jack suddenly sighs and closes his eyes,

"You should stay away from him, I don't want you to get hurt. " when he opens his eyes they've soften up,

"How would I get hurt?" he sighs again and I smile at him,

"Just please, please be careful around him. He's not what he seems like."

"Okay then, I'm tired of this conversation you need to take your meds." I hand him the pills, he smiles slightly

"You make it sound like I'm a lunatic, taking my 'Happy Pills'" I shake my head,

"It's sort of true though,"

"out of the two of us I think you're the one who needs the happy pills, snowflake." rolling my eyes I reach for the remote and turn the TV on I lay down on the bed.

"Scoot over, my room doesn't have a tv. " Jack laughs loudly for some reason,

"shut up, you'll wake the kids. I'm pretty sure now that you're the lunatic." I change the channel to Doctor Who,

"I don't get this show, all I get is that he has a time machine that looks like a police box and an awesome taste in bow ties." I sigh and explain to Jack, about the show.

"You get it now?" He nods but I know he's bluffing.

"Next time you go to the store can you get me a bow tie?" I nod and shush him as I continue to watch the show.

I watch two more episodes before handing Jack the remote.

"I'm going to bed Good night Jack,"

"Don't you want to stay over like last night?"

"I fell asleep by accident last night and as tempting as it sounds I rather sleep in my bed."

"Okay then but you never answered my question," I turn to look at Jack, what the hell was he talking about.

"What question?"

"Do you know the muffin man?" jack cracks up as I throw my slipper at him,

"If you didn't have an injured leg I would murder you right there, Jackson"

"you know you love me, "

"yes, I do and it's because of that love that I'll postpone your death. " Jack exaggerates a sigh.

"We're perfect for each other, Willow. You got to admit that." he try's to flutter his eyelashes, and fails.

I lean over him and pinch his check with my fingers, "yeah we would be perfect together Jack." He rubs his check when I let go but then grins and leans up nipping my nose with his mouth. He begins to sing the Jack Frost nipping at your nose song.

"come on Willow sing with me."

"I can't sing," he sighs.

"Fine then, you sure you don't want to sleep over?"

"I'm sure good night Jack." after a second though I lean down and kiss his check, when his arms wrap around my neck and waist I'm not surprised. I should have expected this,

"Stay?" he softly whispers in my ear, his breathe tickling my neck, I sigh and nod.

"okay then, but you have to let me go. "

"No we're staying like this,"

"Jack." After a few seconds his arms loosens

"Fine then." He let's go and I scoot over leaving space between us his pleasant scent surrounding me as we fall asleep.
