(A/N: "Speaking"
'Thoughts')

---Hugh's P.O.V---

I watch as he lounges on a red sofa, flicking through the T.V channels. 'The bastard, he thinks he's so great but he isn't. She was mine. She still
is mine. But I can't deny the fact that it's my fault she's with him
instead of me'.

'After all, I was the one who persuaded her to go back to San Francisco and
trick him to get the Wildpower. How ironic was it that she was the
Wildpower'.

'I was going to tell her how I felt about her that morning in the train station. But I couldn't, I was too nervous and that appointment that I had just gave me an excuse to not tell her. I know she loves me, that she feels the same way, all I have to do now is to split her and her soulmate up and
everyone will be happy'.

'Well, Morgead might not be happy. But he will see that it's for the best,
that she will be a lot happier with me than him. And I will take better care of her, even if she thinks she doesn't need looking after, I know she
does'.

I look up as Jez comes in. Sexy as ever in here favourite pants, the
leather black ones, the ones I brought her.

She glided gracefully over to Morgead, who was still flicking through the channels so had not noticed her or he was ignoring her. The latter reason I
preferred.

Jez pounced on Morgead, sending them both onto the floor, with Jez on top.

The knot in my stomach tightened seeing them like that but I decided to
continue watching them I don't know why maybe if I did I would find a
weakness of some sort.

"Umm...I didn't see you coming" Morgead murmured.

She laughed only to be silence by Morgead's lips.

I turned away in loathing.

'How could she do that, how could she kiss Morgead like that in front of
me?'

'But she doesn't know how you feel about her' a little wise voice in my
head told me.

I smiled, the voice was right. I quickly got up, swiftly kicked Morgead and
left.

'Jez loves me I know she does, all I have to do is break them up and everything will be fine' I told myself over and over. I rounded the corner,
to be whack into someone, I tumbled to the floor. I looked down to find
soft brown eyes looking up at me.

'That's it. Claire's always liked Morgead, she could help me'.

I got to my feet and picked her up.

"Hugh, put me down, now" she said her voice thick with anger.

I did, but kept my arm round her. "Claire can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Why?"

I tried a different tactic. "You like Morgead right?" I asked, pausing for her to nod her head or something. Instead she screwed her face up and just
looked at me.

"What I'm trying to say is that you want Morgead for yourself, don't you?"

"Where ever would you get that idea from" Claire said, her chin raised
high.

Sighing in exasperation I carried on, "Look Claire I want Jez, you want
Morgead, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it out"

Realization finally dawned on her. She smiled, took my arm and pulled me
into the nearest room, the dining room.

---In The Dining Room ---

"So what do we do?" Claire asked, sitting down on a mahogany chair.

"Well, we need a plan"
She gave Hugh a look which clearly said 'Well duh'.

She stood and started pacing "We need to break them up, that much is
obvious. So we need to think of a way to do that".

"But how? They are hardly apart, they are always making-out-" at this they
both shared looks of disgust "-so we have to do something sneaky and
quickly" he finished.

A wicked grin broke out on Claire's face "A weakness" she said.

"What....... Oh" Hugh grasped.

"It's brilliant isn't it" Claire nearly yelled, bouncing on the balls of
her feet, beaming.

"He never really forgave her for that, all will have to do is add to it,
like what if you two had an affair"

Hugh cocked his head to the side.

"Not have an actual affair, just get her to kiss you"

"And how am I a meant to do that?"

"I don't know, why don't you think for a change because you haven't done anything so far, just stood there and looked pretty" with that she stomped
out, leaving a dumfounded Hugh. 'She thinks I'm pretty' he thought.

Author's note:

Closet geek: Yay my first reviewer! Thank you for the review, I also think more people should write Jez/Morgead fics, as they are the best Nightworld couple, well
in my opinion they are.

Please Review if you read this story it only takes a few seconds and is
common courtesy.
