Jamie watched Jack for a moment. She knew he didn't know she was there. She smiled as she watched the hair fall in his face. She briefly glance at his strong hands clenched on the railing. She quietly moved behind him.. She put a hand on his shoulder and whispered "Jack?" He spun around, hands still on the railing.
"Yeah?" He answered. She searched his face for something, anything.
"You said you wanted to talk to me?" Jamie asked wringing her hands. Jack stared at his feet for a moment before saying:
"I'm really sorry Jamie. I wish there was some way I could take it all back. I know I was real awful to you that day. I didn't mean it Jamie. I-I-"Jack stopped.
"You what?" Jamie asked encouragingly.
"Nothing. Jesus Jamie. I'm sorry I called you a street rat. And that you thought you were glamorous and that everyone loved you. It's not true."
"I'm sorry too. Sorry I told you I didn't feel safe with you anymore and that you're just like everyone else. I'm sorry about the whole rape Sarah comment. I didn't mean it." Jamie continued wringing her hands and wrinkled her brow. Jack grabbed her hands to stop her from fidgeting with them. The second he touched her a spark when through her body and she smiled.
"And I'm sorry about saying I didn't love you," Jack said kissing her forehead," Because I didn't mean that either." Jamie smiled.
"Jack I-" Jamie was cut off by Jack's mouth covering hers. He slipped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him. When they broke apart both were breathing heavily. Jamie pushed a stray hair out of his face and rested her hands on his chest.
"I love you Jack Kelley."
"I love you too, Jamie." Jack said grinning. Jamie slipped her hands around his neck and kissed him.
"Will you go to the rally tonight? And you know, stand up there with me?" Jack asked.
"Of course." Jamie answered.
"I, um, have wanted to give you this but, it never seemed right. Until now." Jack told her as he slipped a claddagh ring with a large emerald on it out of his pocket.
"Oh Jacky boy." Jamie sighed as he slipped it on her finger.
"It was my moms. I want you to have it Jamie." Jamie nodded a tear in the corner of her eye.
"Not to change the subject but, ah. Where's Crutchy." Jamie asked concerned.
"In Brooklyn still. He'll come home tonight after the rally. Don't worry."
"Okay." Jamie turned to go back inside but Jack stopped her.
"And Jamie?"
"Yeah Jack?"
"You were right. I won't ever let anything happen to you." Jamie smiled. She grabbed his bandana and dragged him over to her. She kissed him again and he kissed her back. They went back and forth for a while until the intensity was too much.
"Come on." Jamie said huskily in his ear. They made their way down the steps and kissed once more before opening the window. They both swung inside to find Spot and Race smirking at them.
"Well, well, well." Race commented.
"There was something in me eye." Jamie fished for an excuse and Jack nodded.
"Uh huh. So why is his hand on your ass?" Spot asked. Jamie blinked several times before saying:
"Shut up."
"Good one Jamie." Race replied. All four laughed and talked excitedly about the night that was fast approaching.
