Chapter 11:
Riddick stood in the door of Jack's room watching her, she definatly was remarkable, beautiful, strong, and smart. He couldn't believe that she had change so much in the years. She always was beautiful, but she surpassed even his expectations. What worried him the most was how much he wanted her, to hold her close, keep her safe, to hear her scream his name. Definitely not a good sign, but he was beginning to wonder if he cared anymore. He shook his head and closed the door quietly. He need sleep, hopefully things would be better in the morning.
Jack heard the door quietly close, he had been standing there for a few minutes, she looked up and looked at the door. What did it all mean? She hadn't been able to sleep and had almost given up when she heard the door open quietly, she could hear his breathing and wondered what he had been thinking about. She shook her head and though back to images that kept her awake. What would have happen if she had gone into the shower with him? Part of her had wanted to, the part that loved him from the beginning, the part that didn't hate him for leaving, the one that she kept hidden, the part the felt ashamed for what she did to herself, ashamed that she need him to help her, ashamed that she need him, needed him to love her, to love him. And that was the worst part, that she did love him.
She sighed and shook her head, she would never be able to fall asleep now. Too many haunting thoughts. She grabbed her sweater off the floor and started upstairs. She gave a quick smile to Chole as she passed her in the living room, she continued up the steps hoping that Jeff was on duty. She stopped at the top of the stairs, Scott turned and looked at her and gave her a warm smile.
She sighed, wrong guy, but who knows, "Hey there, whatcha doing?"
He gave a quick laugh, and gestured to the seat next to him, which she took quickly, "Just running diagnostics, making sure good old Jeff didn't touch anything."
Jack gave a quick laugh, "So how'd you get mixed up with him anyways?"
Scott gave her a quick look, "Riddick?"
Jack nodded
He just grinned, "He saved my ass awhile ago, literally."
Jack smiled, it was enough for now.
