There will be a third part :)
"David!" Jacqueline shouted, shuffling after him which was proving quite difficult in her heels, "Wait!" Finally catching up to him she grabbed his arm and pulled him to face her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Jac I'm fine" he replied unconvincingly, he arm still around his wrist.
"No, tell me, David you forget how well I know you" she insisted, their eyes locking. He had this sudden urge to raise his hand and tuck her hair behind her ear. God he wanted to.
Finally breaking the silence, Jac spoke. "For a minute there it felt like you should have tucked my hair behind my ear" David relaxed slightly and laughed. "What?" Jacqueline asked confused.
David shook his head, "I was just thinking the same"
With that she reluctantly released her hold on his wrist, both missing the contact immediately. The atmosphere dropped somewhat as both relaxed a great deal. It has never been awkward between the pair, why should it start now?
"Do you really hate kissing me that much?" David joked referring to the interview, a hint of seriousness in his voice once again.
Jacqueline blushed at his question, "You know it's not that," she answered awkwardly. Where was he going with this?
"Am I a really bad kisser then?" David asked her with a wink, he'd perked up considerably since it was just the two of them. He'd never felt awkward around her, just when other people force him to answer fucking awkward questions, he'd talk to Jac about it all day if she wanted.
"Actually, no you're not," She replied, smirking slightly.
"You sure? Or you just trying to save my feelings?" He teased, not realising how close they were already standing.
"100%" She said quietly, shortness in her breath.
He smirked down at her, and squeezed her hand gently. She jumped at the contact, not going unnoticed by David as his smirk grew.
"Making you nervous babe?" He asked confidently, completely unsure where his confidence suddenly came from. She shook her head but could form no words. "So why don't you want Joey and Lauren back together then? If it isn't my bad kissing, or the fact you hate me, why?"
She shrugged, unsure how to answer this. How could she tell him she'd miss him, the closeness they shared on set? Okay, it was in character but it felt so real, there must be something David felt, it wasn't just her going insane. And since when could he make her feel so nervous? This was a different side to him and god did she want it. Shut up.
"Well we both know you want them back together," She stated, trying to play him at his own game. "Why's that then?" She cocked her head in amusement, trying to make him as nervous as he'd made her.
David's eyes never left her own, he swallowed a lump in his throat before answering. "Because they would be amazing together, babe" Almost as if on cue, he raised his hand and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear, a smile forming on his perfect face. Jac gasped at the contact and couldn't quite believe what he'd just said. Obviously he wasn't just referring to Joey and Lauren, was he? She shuffled awkwardly on her feet as his index finger ran down her neck gently, tingling her skin as he did so. He dropped his hand and felt for her fingers by her side and brushed over them slightly, testing the waters. She did nothing but concentrate on how to breathe as in the last 5 minutes she'd forgotten a considerable amount. She felt his hands brush over hers again, and without thinking grasped them herself entwining their fingers and smiling at David.
"Jac?" he asked her quietly, unsure what she was doing. She shrugged back at him.
"I have no idea" she replied, understanding exactly what he meant.
"So, I'm not a threat?" David asked, suddenly remembering the interview.
"Huh?" Jac answered, obviously confused at his question.
"To Tony, you said I wasn't a threat when Zoe asked," He told her, a small smile forming in the corner of his mouth followed by a little hurt in his eyes.
"I didn't mean it like that," She spat out, almost without thinking.
"So what did you mean?" David questioned, teasing her slightly but also really wanting to understand.
"I don't know," She bowed her head and dropping his hands, suddenly missing the contact. David noticed tears forming in her eyes.
"Hey, babe" He reached for her and pulled her into his embrace, "Jac, it's okay baby," He moved his head so his mouth could rest on her forehead, placing a lingering kiss there.
"It's not though is it?" Jac asserted, pulling away from him suddenly, "What is this? What are we doing? You clearly are a threat at the moment and you fucking shouldn't be! What am I doing?!" she continued raising her voice slightly.
David stood silent processing her words, for about 10 minutes he'd got what he'd always wanted, her attention, her eyes and her in his arms, but as much as he hated to admit it, she was right. She had a boyfriend, and damn he had a girlfriend. It didn't stop her words stinging though, knowing she didn't even want him to be a threat, through the anger laced in her voice. He did nothing but stand, and drop his head slightly.
"David..." she began.
"No I get it, it's fine Jac," he insisted before turning to walk away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that," she pulled him back, not wanting to leave things how they were.
"Then what did you mean?" he asked her, confused now.
Before even comprehending what she was doing, she moved onto her tiptoes and crashed her lips down on his. All the anger, lust and waiting they'd both done for months, channelled into that kiss. It took him a few seconds to realise and to respond to the beautiful confused girl, currently risking everything for him. He moved to wrap his arms around her waist, his hand spanning across her back forcing her closer into him. She reached up and wound her arms around his neck, pulling him closer and closer. She felt his tongue graze her lip, asking for entrance and without considering opened her mouth willingly. They moved as one, matching every move of the other, not being able to consume enough. They both desperately needed air now, but neither wanted to pull away, they had waited too long for this for it to end, they never wanted it to. Reluctantly, a few seconds later, David pulled his lips away, but remained very close contact and rested his forehead against hers before opening his eyes. His hands ran down her body and back to the same position before a large smile formed across his mouth.
"What did I just do?" Jacqueline asked after a few seconds. David's eyes darted to hers, confused as to what she meant. "That shouldn't have happened,"
She pulled away quickly as the realisation that she'd cheated on Tony sank in, leaving David stood confused and hurt. Why did she do it, just to regret it moments later? He'd had enough, enough mixed signals to last him a year.
"Ss-sorry David, erm" she began, "can we just forget that?" He looked at her stunned, after the most incredible kiss he'd had, well since the last time he kissed her, she'd pushed him away and sent him packing. He took one last glance at her before turning and walking away. He needed some air.
He left the building, ignoring everyone who spoke to him as he walked past a table full of his friends; his girlfriend not being able to make it tonight and made his way outside. The cold air hit him, along with the realisation of rejection. She'd took him in, accepted him before pushing him away, she may as well have slapped him in the face, less painful. He took a seat on the curb, not caring if he dirtied his suit anymore. Anger built up inside him as he could kick himself for letting his guard down. He'd opened his heart for that girl, something he'd never done before and she'd thrown it back in his face. He hated her. No, no he didn't, he loved her. He actually loved her.
"Arghh" he shouted before punching the pole in front of him. How had he managed to get himself in this situation? After sitting for another 10 minutes he realised he needed to go back in, people would get suspicious and he couldn't handle others finding out. So reluctantly he stood up and rubbing his hand he made his way back into the room to the table full of his friends.
"Hey, where you been David?" Danielle asked with a smile, completely oblivious. He locked eyes with Jac, sat practically on Tony's lap as he reached the table.
"Just needed some air Dan," he answered before sitting down, his hand beginning to throb now. He noticed Jacqueline's eyes drifted to his knuckles that were now bleeding.
"Woah, what you done to your hand lad?" Jake asked, his eyes fixed on his knuckles.
"Got a bit angry, didn't I?" He chuckled sarcastically, "Pathetic really"
"Go get that cleared up mate," He advised, patting my shoulder. I glanced over to Jac, who's eyes were fixed on me.
"I'm sorry" I saw her mouth in my direction, just as Tony leaned in and kissed her cheek. I closed my eyes and turned away not wanting to even look at her at the moment.
"I'm gonna' get off guys, not feeling too good, I'll see you next week," He told everyone, before standing up not daring to look in her direction and making his way out of the room. He couldn't bare being there with her at the moment and to be honest his hand was killing.
