Oh My gosh it has been so long since i updated this. I thought no one was reading this story, but earlier this week I got a private message from Lisa asking me why i hadn't updated. I just thought NO ONE was reading the story. And Lisa as long as you're enjoying the story It would be fine if you were the ONLY one reading it.
"Would youguys help me pack up his stuff?" Natasha asked hesitently.
"You don't even have to ask." Sam stated squeezing Natasha tighter.
So twenty minutes later the group stared into the walk in closet Natasha and Jake had shared.
"Okay. Dress clothes will go in one box, and the rest can be mixed together." Natasha explained as she ventured into the closet cardboard box in hand.
First she walked to the back of the closet where all his dress clothes were. PLacing the box on the ground she started removing clothes from their hangers. It became a steady rhythm. Pull. Fold. Box. Again. Pull. Fold. Box. She had blocked out all the noise around her. Not there was much of it anyways. the team was just pulling clothes out of drawers or off of hangers. So she didn't notice when Spike walked up beside her. She continued on with her rhythm. Pull. Fold. Box. As she went to pull the next shirt from the hanger Spike gently placed his hand on hers. Natasha closed her eyes as tight as possible to keep the tears from flowing.
"Shh, come here" Spike pulled Natasha into his chest letting her sob.
"I don't...want...to do...this.." Natasha choked out between sobs
Spike didn't say a word. He just held her. The pair stayed like that for ten minutes before Natasha pulled away wipeing away the tears.
"lets get back to work." Natasha told Spike turning back to the closet.
"Are you sure?" Natasha simply nodded her head and got back to work.
An hour later all Jake's clothes were packed into the boz along with some of his belongings that would go to his parents.
"Hey Nat? What about this drawer?" Ed asked looking into a drawer full of papers.
"Oh thats just where he kept recipts for everything. They can go in the trash." Natasha stated with no emotion in her voice.
"What about this?" Ed asked pulling out a small black velvet box.
Natasha slowly walked over taking the box from she slowly opened it revealing a beautiful silver ring with 3 square dimonds on the top. Why would he have this? Natasha thought. Then it dawned on her. This was an engagement ring. She drew in a sharp breath as the realization hit her.
"Sam. Can you pass me that Tequila please." Sam grabbed the bottle passing it to Natasha but not before he took a drink of it himself.
I know it's short but i plan on adding another one later today to make up for lost time. Review make me feel on top of the world.
