Chapter 3 Ronnie wakes up in Jacks bed

Jack- morning sexy

Ronnie- (smiling) morning

She begins to get up but is surprised by Jack wrapping his arms around her and pulling her back close to him

Jack- stay for a bit longer please

Ronnie laughs and struggle for a bit but gives in and cuddles into him

Jack- I do have one question for you though

Ronnie- and what's that then?

Jack- why did you tell me everything last night, you said you had told no one so why me?

Ronnie blushes and looks embarrassed

Ronnie- ermm I don't know

Jack- ohh your blushing now, it's because you love me isn't it?

Jack begins to tickle her, Ronnie laughs hysterically

Ronnie- yes…

She quickly shuts up as she realises what she's just said

Jack- what did you just say?

Ronnie- nothing… I said nothing

Ronnie turns bright red and tries to change the subject but Jack interrupts her by kissing her gently on the lips

Jack- you do don't you?

Ronnie- I do what?

Jack- love me, you do don't you?

He kisses her again but more passionately

Ronnie- yes…

Ronnie turns red again, Jack smiles and pulls her closer, running his fingers through her hair

Jack- you don't need to be embarrassed Ron, because you know how I feel about you, I love you too

They kiss fiercely and go under the covers for round 2 A bit later on at the Vic

Roxy- Ron where the hell have you been all night?

Ronnie- I kipped at the club I had tons of paper work to go through

Roxy- you're lying Ron, and if I found out you've been with Jack…

Ronnie- I'm not stupid, it's just I haven't worked for a while I needed to catch up on a few things

Roxy- okay…okay

Ronnie had been doing some thinking and thought that maybe after all this time she should see her father

Ronnie- Rox…when is Dad coming?

Roxy- he said he would tonight

Ronnie- tonight?

Roxy- yeah and you are seeing him this time, you've got to get over that petty argument

Ronnie thought this was a bit soon to see him and made a decision

Ronnie- well the thing is I'm working tonight

Roxy- well I will bring him to the club then, we can have a few drinks… but is Jack going to be there?

Ronnie- yes, why?

Roxy- I just don't think I could stand seeing that slime ball after what he did to you

Ronnie- well I want him there…

Ronnie shut up quickly

Roxy- you what?

Ronnie- erm nothing…I meant I want him there because I can't handle the club all by myself

Roxy- oh right I see

Roxy didn't seem to notice that time, she was too busy deciding what she was going to wear that evening, if Ronnie wanted to keep her and Jack a secret she was going to have to be more cautious than this

Ronnie receives a text whilst Roxy is still going on about what to wear

Jack- Hi babe, want to meet up for lunch? I'll take you out somewhere nice. x

Ronnie texts back

Ronnie- yeah. Sounds good. I'll meet you at the club at 12. x

Roxy- who was that from?

Ronnie- Jack, I left some work at the club last night

Roxy- so you actually still talk to him?

Ronnie- yes I can't exactly ignore him can I? He is my business partner

It's 12 and Ronnie meets Jack outside the club

She kisses him on the cheek

Ronnie- so where we going?

Jack- thought we could go to Fargo's?

Ronnie- yeah, sounds like a good idea

They go to Fargo's and get seated

Ronnie- by the way my dad, he's coming tonight

Jack- he's what?

Ronnie- he's coming tonight

Jack- are you going to see him?

Ronnie- well I feel I should

Jack- don't feel you have to do anything Ron

Ronnie- well I told Roxy that I was working tonight so she's bringing him down to the club and I was kinda wondering…

Jack- if I would be there with you?

Ronnie- well yes (she smiles at him)

Jack- of course I will, I wanted to be there anyway, I don't want you to get upset or hurt anymore

Ronnie- what you mean like after you hurt me?

Jack looks ashamed of himself

Jack- yes exactly, I'm an idiot and always will be for what I did, but it will never change the way I feel about you…and Ron…

Ronnie- yes?

Jack- thank you

Ronnie- for what?

Jack- giving me a second chance

Ronnie- well like you said everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance

How will things go with Ronnie's father?

Ronnie has another shocking confession?
