It would appear to a casual observer that Jack had gotten over Janet. In truth he was just accepting the fact that he could never have Janet in his life. Above all he wanted her to be happy. It looked like she was happy with Phillip. It killed him every time he saw her with him. The smile she had on her face killed him. What neither realized was that the other was doing their best to fake it to make the other happy.
Every time Janet saw him with Vicky her heart broke a little more. He had never been this serious with any other woman. Even though she was polite to Vicky, she wanted to slap her pretty face. She felt like Vicky was taking away her Jack! When would she ever stop feeling like her heart was breaking?
Jack would sit and watch Janet and Terri discussing the upcoming wedding. He offered to help with the food. Even though every part of him wanted to pick Janet up and run away with her. He wanted to run to the ends of the earth with his Janet! Somewhere that it was just the two of them. No other people around and no Vicky and Phillip! Although he made a good show of faking it, his heart would always belong to Janet. From the first time he saw her cute little face he knew that he would never be the same. Sure he made a big play for Chrissy at first. Janet looked so wholesome and sweet that he knew he would never have a chance with her. No woman as wonderful as she was could ever fall for a man like him. He sighed as he got ready for a date with Vicky.
He walked into the bathroom and ran smack dab into Janet. She was dressed only in a towel. Janet let out a little squeal. He suddenly found himself holding her in his arms. Then he felt his head lowering towards hers to capture her mouth in a soft sweet kiss. He heard her moan into his mouth. After a few minutes they broke the kiss. Jack whispered softly "Wow!"
Janet echoed his statement and also said "Wow!"
Jack pulled her close to hold her for a moment. Their hearts stood still for that brief moment in time. Jack allowed himself to bury his face in her hair. He smelled the fresh scent of her shampoo. Janet finally broke the embrace when she said "I have to get dressed."
Jack simply nodded and said "Go." He watched her walk into her room and smiled to himself as he thought "Maybe I do have a chance with her after all." Suddenly he had a new spring in his step and his heart felt lighter than it had in months...
