One more word and this report is finished. Done. I can't believe I'm the last one here. Viv and Danny went home a couple of hours ago and Martin followed shortly afterwards. Jack as far as I knew went home half an hour ago, at least that's when the light in his office went out. Come to think of it I didn't see him walk out this way. Maybe he's still here.

"Jack, why are you sitting in the dark?" He looked towards me with his big brown eyes.

"The bulb in my lamp blew".

I nod my head in understanding and slowly walk towards the chair in front of his desk and take a seat.

"Why are you still here?" I could see the sadness in his eyes, he didn't want to go home because he'd be alone and he'd have to face what he's lost. I knew how much the divorce had affected him I could see it, more so than anyone else, even Marie. I wish I could have been able to comfort him. Somehow I don't think that would have been appropriate.

"Why are you still here?" he replied.

I took a step inside, "Paperwork"

"Then there's your answer".

His voice was deep hiding his pain I knew he felt.

"Right so that's why you have a glass of Whiskey in your hand, instead of a pen."

"I gave up on it, any more questions?"

He was getting annoyed and really wanted me to go but I couldn't leave him something was making me stay, old feelings I thought had died had been reappearing over the past few months. I can't stop thinking about him and how alone he looks, all I want to do is…. I don't know what I want to do, I should just go.

"Come home with me", what did I just say. Was that out loud. Shit.

"What?" I could sense the awkward surprise in his voice.

"I mean just for coffee. You look like you need some company."

"Sam I..."

"Come on it's better than spending the night here alone with a bottle of whiskey."

I wait for a response as jack looks down at his glass contemplating my proposal. It feels like minutes before he says yes but actually it was seconds.

He gets up slowly and grabs his coat off the rack and we walk out together.

As soon as we step outside I am was wishing for the warmth of the inside. I button up my coat as Jack stnds beside me, seemingly not affected by the icy cold.

"You wanna catch a cab?"

"Do you mind if we walk for a little a while" it sounds crazy in this weather but I can't handle awkward silence in an enclosed space.

"Sure"

I tuck my arm under his hoping to get some extra warmth and we start walking. Neither of us know what to say and it is a couple of minutes before any words are uttered.

Jack is the first one to break the silence.

"So, have any plans for this weekend"

I look towards him and he's not looking at me.

I reply, "No" as has been typical for the last few weekends since I broke up with Martin. Thank goodness it was mutual although I think it was not so mutual on his part and he just made things easier for me. I hadn't been as happy about the relationship as he was and I didn't think it fair on him going on, with me not reciprocating his feelings.

"What about you?" I continue.

"Apartment hunting,"

"Any buyers for the house yet?"- I question

"No not yet, shouldn't be long though. To be honest I hope its sooner rather than later. I just want to start fresh and move on."

There's a pause. I don't know how to reply to that. Moving on…does that include me? Am I in his past or his present...or even his future?

Moments later as i am mulling over his previous statement, he says something I don't expect and was not looking forward to discussing with him. How did he know?

"How's it going with you and Martin?"

"Pardon"

"You and Martin, your going out together… right?"

"Well yeah, I mean we were"

I'm totally stunned, how did he know. We were careful; I don't even think Viv and Danny know.

"How did you know?"

"It was a guess"

"You guessed! You were fishing. And I fell for it, damn" a slight smirk across my face.

"What can I say, I'm good" he says cheekily.

Somehow revealing that has relieved a lot of tension it seems both of us felt.

Only 10 minutes left till we get to my apartment and I think its going to go quickly.

Please review and let me know if i should continue. This is my first ever Fan Fic and i hope its ok!
