I know getting Jack and Karen together has been a bit rushed but I need to finish the story off (got a lot of college work to do now) so just one or two chapters then it will be finished one day I might do a sequel! –x-

A few days later

Grace and Karen were in Grace's office, Grace working Karen "working"

'Hay Karen what are you doing tonight?'

'Nothing why honey?'

'Well I want to set you up on a blind date'

'What Grace Adler you are not pimping me'

'No Karen you said you wanted a man well I have someone is interested, look one date you might like him'

'One date'

'Yea then it's up to you if you see him again' Grace said Karen hesitated for a bit

'Fine one date'

'See I knew you would want to, you can thank me later, and as a thank you I'll be a bride's maid at your wedding'

'Hay hay slow down red, so were is he taking me'

'Well that is a surprise but he will be in a black suit holding 6 red roses and you need to wear a white scarf'

At Will office, Will had called Jack to come to his office

'So what is it will, you finally become so chunky you need help getting up'

'Ha ha Jack your so dry'

'Very funny, so what's up it sounded urgent' Jack said sitting down

'I've set you up on a blind date tonight'

'What will no'

'Jack you asked me to help, you don't have to go out with him again, you don't have to sleep with him, just go out with him to work out your feelings for Karen, jack just go'

'Fine but I'm not going any further just to work out my feelings'

'I promise it will help'

'So where is he taking me'

'His not you're taking'

'What I'm going on a blind date and I'm taking them'

'Don't worry Jack I'm paying'

'So where am I taking him'

'I can't tell you but you will need to take 6 red roses and they will be wearing a white scarf'

The rest of the day Will and Grace kept Jack and Karen away from each other so they wouldn't tell each other, Will made Jack get ready at five while Grace kept Karen at work then took her home to get ready at six.

In the limo

'So are you going to tell me where we are going?'

'The clock restaurant'

'The clock restaurant where's that?'

'One the river bank, anyways wear this' Grace said getting out a white scarf

At the restaurant

Jack and will were standing by the railings by the river

'So when is he turning up?'

'Soon' will said looking at his watch, just the his phone rang

'Hello' will said

'Hi we are here' grace said

'Oh right ok' will said then put down the phone 'Ok Jack they are here, so take the roses and I'll see you later' will said giving Jack the roses

'Ok Karen he will be by the railings good luck' Grace said then got back into the limo.

Karen walked through the restaurant and outside to where the railings were, she looked around when in the distant she saw a man holding roses so she walked up to him.

Jack had been looking around for his blind date, when he saw a woman wearing a white scarf walking towards him it didn't take him long to realise who it was,

'Karen' he said as she reached him

'Jack, what are you doing here?'

'I'm waiting for my blind date, they are wearing a white scarf what are you doing here?'

'I'm waiting for my blind date he is meant to be holding 6 roses'

'That's is what I'm meant to be holding for my blind date'

'And a white scarf is what I'm meant to be wearing for my blind date' Karen said looking confused

'Who set you up?' Jack asked

'Grace'

'Will set me up, do you think they set us up together?' Jack asked hoping she would say yes

'Maybe'

'Well do you want it to be?' Jack asked nervously

'Yea' she answered smiling

'Well these are for you' he said giving her the roses and kissed her on the cheek.

After dinner Jack and Karen went back outside to the railings over looking the river

'So why do you think they set us up?' Karen asked, putting the flowers on to the bench next to her

'I don't know' Jack lied 'actually Karen I do' Jack then said realizing there was no point in lying

'What?'

'Karen I need to tell you something'

'Yea'

'But I cant I don't want it to get in the way of our friendship'

'Jackie you can tell me anything and nothing will ever get between us' Karen said taking his hand

'Ok Karen….I love you'

'I love you too'

'No Kare I'm in love with you' Jack said, Karen looked shocked 'Karen please say something'

'I'm in love with you to' she replied smiling

'Really' Jack said he looked like all his dreams had come true

'Yes, I love you Jack I always have and always will, I was so set on finding a guy just like you I didn't realise I already had, every night and every day I wished that you weren't gay and that me and you could be together but I just learnt to burry it because I never thought I would hear you say them words to me, you were the only person who knew how to take the pain away'

'Karen don't think I wasn't hurting because I was every time I saw you hurt I felt it too, my heart loves you but my head kept screaming at me I'm gay, but I just wanted to hold you, kiss you and Karen I want to make love to you'

'I want that too Jackie'

'Oh Kare' he said and hugged her 'I love you so much'

'I love you too' Karen said, just then Jack leant down and kissed her, he kissed her with such love and passion she felt all her feelings for Jack come up to the surface all at once.

'What do we do now?' Jack asked once he broke the kiss off

'That depends on you Jack are you willing to change your identity'

'Karen for you I would do anything of course I'm willing to change'

'Well then I guess me and you are more than just friends now'

'The only way I like it'

'Me too'

'Karen there is just one more thing; I don't want you to feel as if I'm rushing everything because I know we are going to take time I now it's not going to happen tomorrow next week or next month. But we have known each other for six seven years so we don't need time to get to know each other, I want to show you how much I love you' Jack said then got down one knee

'Oh Jackie' Karen said looking shocked

'Karen walker will you marry me?'

'Oh Jack….' Karen said putting her hands to her mouth looking shocked.
