-1Chapter 3

Jack couldn't believe what had just happened. He pinched himself to reassure him that he was not dreaming. Sure enough he wasn't. His phone vibrating against his desk snapped him out of his day dream. He realized that he was still at the window. Moving towards his desk he answered it.

"Bauer" Jack said.

"Hey. You know you better get on with some work or we won't go out for dinner tonight." Audrey teased.

Jack smirked, now looking out of his window at her. "Yeah, i was just caught up in the past moment."

"Well we'll have to do something about that, won't we". Audrey teased again while looking him square in the eye.

"Meet me in the back in 5 minutes."Jack exclaimed and then winked at her through the window, causing Audrey to laugh.

Jack ended the call and then made his way to the back of CTU.

----

Audrey had just finished her call with Jack and saw him making his way towards their meeting place. She couldn't believe this was real. Only hours ago, she had been laying in bed with Luke. As if on cue her phone rang. She looked down at the caller ID; it was Luke. 'Great she thought'. Audrey rejected the call and followed in Jack's footsteps.

She was about to turn the corner when someone grabbed her from behind her waist and put their hand over her mouth causing her to jump.

"I thought you were never coming"the voice teased.

Audrey realized who it was. "Aw, did you get lonely back here?"

She turned and faced Jack. Their lips only centimeters apart.

Audrey looked at Jack and then at his lips, before whispering "I've missed you so much".

Jack instantly brought her closer and lent into kiss her.

The warmth of his lips sent sparks around Audrey's body. Kissing him back, their tongues played a game of war-neither wanting to win. Finally, drawing apart, gasping for air. Jack exclaimed "I love you so much Audrey, I've never stopped loving you."

Audrey raised her head again attacking his lips, with hers. They pulled apart "I love you too Jack" she said.

Audrey's phone rang, bringing them back to reality.

"Tut, that will be Luke" Audrey scowled.

Bewildered, Jack asked her "Luke? Who is Luke?...

Realizing that she hadn't told Jack about Luke yet, she replied "Luke was my boyfriend, well i wouldn't call him that. After i awoke from the coma, my dad coaxed me into seeing him. So i did just to please my father. But it struck me this morning that i was still in love with you. So i broke it off. But he obviously can't accept that."

Audrey's eyes met his, looking for reassurance.

Jack smirked " I can see why, he doesn't want to give you up, but its all the better for me" He said bringing her closer again.

"Jack!" she teased as he started kissing her neck, "your awful! Do you know that!?"

"Yeah i know" He replied sheepishly "but you love it really." Now leaning in for another kiss, which she gladly gave to him.

"Come on we better get going before we're missed" Audrey mused looking into his eyes.

"Yeah okay, I'll go first, I've just the place to take you tonight for dinner." He winked causing her to smile and then he was gone.

----

Jack left Audrey smiling to herself as he walked back to CTU.

"Jack! where have you been!?" Chloe yelled.

He said nothing but looked at her. Chloe then saw Audrey appear from the same direction as Jack had just come. Chloe looked up at Jack and smiled "Right then, I think my question had just been answered".

Jack looked at her and smiled again.

"Bye Chloe, If anyone needs me i will be in my office okay?"

"Yep boss" She replied sarcastically.

With that Jack turned, looked at Audrey one more time who smiled at him and then headed in the direction of his office...
