Chapter 14:

Jack woke up slowly, and sighed as the white walls came into view, she really wanted to change them. She hated white walls. She shook her head as the incoherent thought entered her head, she didn't even know how much longer she was going to be here. Riddick never said anything about how long she'd be here, and she was more apt to believe that he would leave her again just as she was getting attached, again. Her heart was fighting against her mind. She sighed and rolled over. It had been a week since she had first come aboard. The week had been enjoyable, she worked out with Riddick twice a day and learned more about the ship and it's crew. She sighed and looked over at the clock, 0500, shit, an hour before her workout, and in about 5 minuets Riddick would be in the shower, and wouldn't leave for a half hour or so. And then she wouldn't have time for a shower before she had to cook breakfast. She sighed, she really hated the days when she cooked. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. Just as she was about to lock the door to Riddick's room, it popped open and reveling a rumpled and tired looking Riddick. She gave a small growl and glared at him.

"Get out, I was here first."

Riddick laughed and gave a small smile, "I'm sure you were, but I want a shower," he slowly stalked into the room and cornered her against the wall, "and I want one now. You can come or go, your choice." He raised an eyebrow and gave her a questioning look. With that he turned and started the shower.

Jack sighed and turned around leaving the room defeated. She gave a small quick glance back as he watched her leave with a rueful look on his face. She sat on the bed and looked around the room. She really should clean it up sometime. She heard the door close and looked to it quickly. He was confusing her, the past week had been a mixture of playful flirting, and admiration, but everything had a deeper under tone, of what she wasn't sure. Almost like he really wanted her, and wasn't just playing around, and that in itself worried her, and she wasn't really sure why. She shook her head trying to rid the thoughts that plagued her mind. She dressed quickly and headed up stairs. Jeff was sitting in the living room, reading a book. He gave her a small smile as she reached the top. He watched her pull her hair back into a ponytail and gave her another grin.

"Riddick get the shower again?"

She gave him a small growl, "Doesn't he always, I swear, that man doesn't know how to share."

Jeff laughed as she headed into the kitchen, unshowered and unhappy.
