Jamie watched Nancy intently to see her reaction. Nancy made no sign on her face of anger or sadness that Jamie could read. She was staring at the entrance where Callie and Ned had just gone through.

"Nancy." Nancy held up her hand walked calmly towards the doors. Jamie followed cautiously behind her.

Nancy gave her ticket to the door guard (whatever those dudes are called lol.) Jamie did the same. The ballroom was decorated with streamers of white and red. Multiple tables surrounded the dance floor, which was located in the middle of the room. There was an appetizer and punch table near the back of the room. The dance was in full swing and the dance floor was crowded with people.

Nancy strolled over to an empty table and sat down. Nancy turned her chair towards the dance floor and observed the couples on the dance floor.

She found the pair she was looking for and fixed her eyes on them like a cat waiting to pounce on its meal.

"I'm going to go get us some…snacks. Do you want anything Nancy?"

"No thanks Jamie."

"Ok."

Jamie went over to the table and filled a plate with some chips and was reaching for the dip when she felt a hand making its way around her waist. Startled she nearly jumped a foot in the air WITH HIGH HEELS ON and lost her balance. She fell forward about to hit her face into the ballroom floor. She closed her eyes as the floor seemed to get closer, but she never hit the ground. Apparently whoever had grabbed her waist stopped her from hitting the floor because she opened her eyes and she was a foot from the ground.

She struggled to get out of the grasp of whoever had a hold on her waist. Whoever it was had a very firm grip and was refusing to let her go. The music was extremely loud and not able to tell the person to let her go. She twisted around in the grasp of her mystery man and gasped in anger. It was Joe. He was saying something but she couldn't hear him.

"WHAT?" He moved closer to her and put his mouth to her ear.

"I said you shouldn't attack your rescuer."

"Ha! If u hadn't snuck up on me like that I wouldn't have a reason too."

"Aw, did I scare the wittle girl?" He said laughing.

"Oh. I'll teach you little BOY."

"I would like to see u try." He teased.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the dance floor. She weaved her way through the people to the middle.

She pulled Joe closer and put her arms around his neck and whispered, "I'll show you."

He smirked, "Sure you will."

She kissed Joe lightly on the cheek and moved her body to the beat with his. He slowly moved his hand southward. Jamie rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand and set it back on her waist.

"I don't think so."

"Aw, you know you want it."

"Maybe, maybe not."

"So you're going to play hard to get, eh?" Jamie giggled.

Joe looked at her. "What?"

"Haven't you noticed you've already got me?"

"Yes, but still." She rested her head in the crook of his neck and closed her eyes as a slow song began to play. Suddenly she remembered that she left Nancy sitting at the table all alone.

"Oh, no." Jamie groaned.

"What? What's wrong now?"

"I left Nancy by herself. I should go make sure she's okay because she saw Callie and Ned together. I'm worried about her."

Jamie pulled away from Joe, but Joe snatched her back into his arms.

"She's fine."

"How do you know?"

"I know because she's right over there visiting with Callie and Ned."

"What!" Jamie turned around and Joe grabbed her waist and rocked his body in sync with hers. Jamie leaned back into his body.

"I see her now; I wonder what's going on. Callie looks a little upset. Hhmm….Nancy's leaving and Ned is following her."

"I wouldn't know I'm hypnotized by the beautiful woman I'm dancing with."

"Joe you are such a suck up."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"Absolutely nothing. Come on my feet are in pain. I got to sit down these heels are killing me."

She half dragged half led Joe off the dance floor. Jamie pulled off her heels and set them on the table.

"I'm never wearing high heels again." Callie suddenly appeared out of no where and looked disgustedly at Jamie.

"I can't believe you told her about us! Now she's going to try and steal him from me! This is your entire fault! Stupid bitch thanks a lot!"

"Are you done yet?"

"Yes, I'm done!"

"Good because if you haven't noticed you have a little something right here in your teeth." Jamie indicated. Callie glared at her and stalked off.

"I hope Nancy will be alright."

"She'll be fine don't worry."

"If you say so."

Meanwhile, Frank was back in the room trying to figure out what he should do.

'Why should my night get ruined because of Nancy?' Frank thought.

'Oh yeah it's because I love her that's why. Should I go after her? Does she really need me right now? Hmmm…' Frank jerked open the door and strode upstairs towards the ball.

"Nancy why did you drag me away from Callie?"

"Ned if you haven't noticed we need to talk!"

"Nancy there is nothing to talk about." Ned sighed. "I'm with Callie now and that's that."

"OMG NED you cheated on me and you're telling me there is nothing to talk about."

"Exactly."

"Ned just tell me why you did it. Why did our relationship end up like this? Why did you do this to me?"

"Well if you insist on me telling you I will. If you don't think for a second that I don't know what's happened between you and Frank, you got another thing coming!"

"What about me and Frank! Nothing has ever happened between me and Frank!"

"Oh really. You think that I don't see it. Every time you're around him you look at him the way you use to always look at me. You are always involved in cases with him. When you talk about him your eyes light up and a smile comes to your face. YOU LOVE HIM. You never loved me and you know it."

"Ned if I didn't love you why would I be here asking you, why you did what you did?"

"You know what Nancy I don't know, but I need to get back to Callie."

"So that's it then we're done!" she yelled after him as he walked off.

"YES!" He replied and then he was gone. Nancy stood there and suddenly fell onto a heap on the deck. She started to cry. Everything she was feeling came out and she couldn't help it. She heard footsteps behind her. She didn't care; she just wanted them to leave her alone. The footsteps stopped and the owner of them sat down next to her.

The person gently picked up her hand and held it. She knew that touch. She would always remember it.

"Frank…"she whispered. "I'm sorry."

"Ssshhh. I'm sorry too."

"Frank."

"Hm?"

"I love you..."

"I love you too Nancy."

"Can you hold me?"

"Yeah." He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her forehead. He wiped the tears from her eyes.

"You're going to be alright, I'm here now. I'm going to take you back to your room."

He picked her up and cradled her against his chest. She trembled in his arms and more tears fell down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and put her head on his shoulder. He carried her into the room and set her on the bed.

"Alright I'm going to leave you alone now. You are probably still upset with me and it would be best….if I went to my own…room…" Nancy had grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the bed.

"Nancy what are you?" Nancy put her finger to his lips.

"Ssshhh." Their lips met and their love was sealed.

After dancing for what seemed like hours Jamie and Joe headed back towards Jamie and Nancy's room. Joe and Jamie stopped in front of the door. Jamie kissed Joe on the lips. She put the key in the lock and was about to turn it when she spotted a piece of paper on the floor. "Hhmm….what's this?" She picked it up and read:

Jamie spend the night in Joe's room. Frank is comforting me and I'll be ok. I'll tell you about what happened tomorrow. You know I love you but…GO AWAY! Oh yeah…Frank put some of your clothes in their room so you have no excuse to come in and your accessories.

Joe read it over "Sheesh. She really doesn't want you in there right now."

"Comforting eh? I'd really like to know how he's comforting her."

She looked at Joe and smiled, "but I don't really want to walk in on something that I really don't want see." She pulled her key out and grabbed Joe's arm.

"Let's go." Jamie's suitcase was in the room packed with ALL HER CLOTHES.

"I have a feeling she doesn't want me to stay in the room with her anymore." Jamie grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom while Joe changed in the room. She pulled her high heels off and rubbed her feet.

Jamie sighed "That's so much better." She changed into shorts and a t-shirt and brushed her teeth. (And whatever else she needed to do.) She went into the room and Joe was laying on the bed…A/N there's only one bed unfortunately…hehe. (They got a one bed bedroom u know what I mean)

"Joe?"

"Hm?"

"Um...Where do I sleep?"

"Oh. Here you can have the bed. I'll take the floor."

"No, I couldn't do that, it's your room, and I'll take the floor."

"No, no I insist."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Well I mean we could both sleep in the bed we'll just stay on our own sides."

"Yeah…that sounds like a good idea let's try it."

"Ok."

They both got in and turned their lamp lights off. Jamie and Joe laid there in the dark. Jamie moved her leg and accidentally bumped into Joe.

"Sorry."

"No problem." Joe moved his arm and hit Jamie in the stomach.

"Ow."

"Sorry." Jamie rubbed her stomach.

"Want me to kiss it?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

Jamie laughed. "You are so not going to."

"Wanna bet?" Joe moved closer to her. She felt his arm snake around her waist. He lifted

her t-shirt up just a little bit.

"Does it hurt here?" He kissed her belly button. Jamie giggled, "No"

"What about…here." Another kiss.

"No."

Joe chuckled. "You're sneaky. You just want me to kiss you."

Jamie acted innocent. "I don't know what you mean."

"You don't? Do you know what happens to bad girls?"

"Nope."

"We'll I'm just going to have to show you." Joe pulled Jamie's shirt down and began tickling her furiously in the side. Jamie started laughing.

"Stop…..it….tickles!" Jamie gasped between fits of giggles. Joe just tickled her harder. She tried to get out of the bed, but Joe grabbed her around the waist to prevent her from getting away from him

. "Hehe. You're not going anywhere."

"If you say so." She lay down and snuggled against Joe. Joe ran his fingers through her hair as she fell asleep in his arms.

"I love you." Joe whispered in her ear.

"I love you too." Then all was quiet and all you could hear was their breathing as they slept.
