"Jen?" Roy opened the door to the inner office as Jen looked up.

"Hi Roy." She smiled slightly, genuinely pleased to see the Irishman. "How's the hangover? Is Moss ok? Richmond?"

Roy nodded. "Richmond is in his room, Moss has gone to fix something on the fifth floor." He explained. "And for your information, Jen I am not hungover."

Jen raised an eyebrow, glad the brass band in her skull was beginning to shut up. "You drank waay more than me last night."

"Yes, but I'm Irish. Also none of it was alcoholic." He shrugged.

"What?"

"Look, when Richmond and Moss get drunk they go for it. I usually have a few but not so much as I'm not able to keep me senses. I was on black currant and lemonade from the time we got to the party. I promise." He blushed as she looked at him.

"Really?"

"Yes Jen, really. Now. Did you want me to look at that new software for you?" He watched her push herself away from the desk.

"Yeah. Ok. Thanks." She stood up as Roy crossed the Room to her. Blushing furiously she looked away. "So, last night."

"What about it?"

"You remember it all?"

"Most of it. Might have zoned out half way through Dirty Dancing."

"You cried at Beaches."

"No, my eyes were watery because I'd been watching tv too long. Anyway, if you don't cry at that film you've no soul." He booted up the computer. Jen smiled.

"True."

"But yes, I remember most things from last night." He glanced up to see her blush even more. "Why?"

"No reason."

"Jen?"

"No. Really it's nothing."

"Ok. If nothing is you trying to kiss me and me telling you no because you were drunk and I wasn't then ok."

"Oh God." Jen closed her eyes wishing the ground would swallow her whole. Ray shook his hand.

"It was a party. It's ok."

"Only it's not. Is it?" Jen folded her arms. "I practically assault you. I'm your senior here. I behaved like Douglas!"

Roy laughed. "No Jen, you did not. And I only said no because you could barely stand. If you were sober." He clamped his mouth shut, realising what he had said.

"What? I'm sober now."

"I didn't want to take advantage of you. No way was I snogging the face of any girl drunk, let alone you." He stood up before walking across to her. "It's ok. No harm done. The software is installed."

"Thanks." Jen smiled. She had no idea how they were suddenly so close together. She tilted her head up to look at him. "I'm not drunk now." She stared at his lips as he nodded. Reaching on tip toe she kissed him chastely on the lips. His eyes fell closed as his hands rested on her waist.

"Jen." He whispered as she felt his fingers dig into her waistband. She waited a moment before kissing him again. This time he deepened the kiss, pushing her until they had hit the closed door of her office. Her hands snaked under his t shirt as his slipped higher. She moaned as his lips reached her neck. An office door slammed as they instinctively jumped apart. Moss could clearly be heard bashing about in the office as Roy rested his forehead against Jen's shoulder. She fought the urge to giggle as Moss could be heard calling their names. She kissed Roy's temple before gently pushing him away.

"To be continued."

Roy smiled broadly.

"Definitely."
