That night on her date with Phillip all Janet could think of was Jack and the kiss they shared. She smiled everytime she let her mind drift back to remember it. She could remember every second of that brief encounter with Jack. She knew one thing. She hadn't wanted that kiss to end. The feel of Jack's lips on hers sent a tingle down her spine.She couldn't wait to get home. She needed to talk to Jack. both of their lives and their happiness depended on it...

Jack had the same thoughts. He hadn't meant to kiss Janet like that. It was just a natural reaction. It had felt so good holding her. She looked so damn beautiful. Every time he remembered the feel od her lips on his he trembled. He hurried thru his date with Vicky. He gave her a brief kiss on the cheek and hurried home. He was sitting on the couch in the apartment when Janet came home. They smiled at each other. Janet sat next to him and smiled. The both spoke at the same time.

"Jack!"

"Janet?"

They laughed and Jack said "You go first!"

Janet smiled and said "About earlier..." She didn't know how to say what she was feeling in her heart. So she just said "I enjoyed that kiss."

Jack let out a breath that he had been holding in. He had thought that she was going to be mad at him. "I did too." God! His stomach was filled with a million butterflies. They smiled at each other for a few minutes. Suddenly they were in each other's arms again. They were holding each other. Jack kissed her on the nose and whispered "I have wanted this for so long..."

Janet simply said "Me too..."

Jack stared at her and said "What?"

She decided to be honest with him "I think I'm in love with you Jack. I have been for a long time. The thought of you with Vicky is tearing me apart..."

"What about Phillip?"

She shrugged and said "I was trying toforget about my feelings for you. Jack, I want a husband and kids. I'm not getting any younger. I didn't realize youe felt this way about me! I..."

He silenced her with a kiss. He laid down on the couch. He pulled her on top of him and they simply held each other. Each was lost in their own thoughts. They felt so comfortable holding each other that they fell asleep there on the couch. Terri found them together when she came home from work. She smiled as she tiptoed into the room she shared with Janet. When she got inside she whispered to herself "It's about time..." She smiled and got ready for bed...
