Part 2
NB: // indicates thoughts
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SWEARING
//Clark. Is here. Alive. But he's dead. So he couldn't be. I must be dreaming. Might as well make the most of it.//
These were the thoughts that were wizzing through Jimmy's mind from the moment he first saw Clark.
"Must be dreaming," muttered Jimmy, receiving several confused glances from the others, as he gazed at Clark.
"Clark," he sighed, and with loving and yet determined glint in his eye, stepped up and kissed Clark deeply.
The moment that their lips meet, Jimmy realised that he was not dreaming.
He pulled away with a gasp, shocked, registering the shocked silence echoing throughout the newsroom and the look on Clark's face.
He tightened his grip on Clark's arm for a moment, reassuring himself that Clark was really there, and then backed off quickly, his adam's apple quivering and his breathing becoming irregular.
"You're real! You're not dead!"
His breath started to come out in short, wheezing gasps, and his face suffused with heat as he continued.
"Shit. You're real. Oh Lord! Shit shit shit!"
He continued to back away, stumbling, gasping for breath as he babbled, stammering.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! I'm so sorry"
His eyes met Clark's as he reached the door, full of shame.
Gasping out another apology as tears filled his eyes, Jimmy rushed from the newsroom, the door slamming behind him.
