Disclaimer as before. Well this is the last chapter everyone, I hope you enjoy!


The sun was now peaking brightly through the curtains threatening to blind Gerry as he slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't really remember what had happened last night; all he knew was that he'd had the best nights sleep in a long time. As he finally woke properly he suddenly felt a weight on his chest.

"Oh my God. What have I done?" Gerry spoke quietly, trying not to wake the beautiful lady sleeping on his chest. He started to panic, worried that he'd taken advantage of Sandra and done something stupid like he normally ended up doing. But then he realised that his trousers were still on. So was his shirt; well as much as it could be considering Sandra's hand was buried underneath it. He looked down at his Guv, laying there, in his bed, encased in his arms. It was the most natural thing ever and he felt like he could just lay there forever. He looked over at the beside clock.

"Oh s**t". He shouted a little to loudly as he realised it was 9.30am, and they were meant to be leaving just after 10. He wasn't sure what he was more annoyed at; having to rush around packing and miss out on breakfast, or not being able to just lay there and watch Sandra sleep; she was so peaceful and it was a beauty that he'd never had the chance to see in Sandra before. One where she was totally at ease and relaxed and without any make-up on. He never understood why she would hide that beautiful skin under a load of chemicals.

Gerry felt Sandra stir in his arms as she woke.

"Morning." Gerry whispered down in Sandra's ear.

She smiled up at him, "morning Gerry, how's your head?" She was determined not to let this situation be awkward.

"It's fine I think. I hate to break this to you, but it's 9.30."

"What!" Sandra tried to shout angrily but her tired voice only managed to whisper it. She pulled herself up, trying not to hurt Gerry by resting all her body weight on him.

"I better get packing" Gerry started to gather all his belongings from around the room into his bag.

"Yeah me too." Sandra slid out from under the duvet and realised she was only wearing her underwear. She pulled her clothes back on quickly before Gerry really had a chance to notice. She slipped out of his room and into hers and hoped no one like Strickland was walking by and could see her.

"Where have you two been?" Jack exclaimed as Gerry and Sandra finally arrived by reception with their bags to check out.

"I've got a lot of stuff alright Jack. And I might have overslept." Sandra admitted shyly.

"That's not like you."

"I know Jack", she glanced up at Gerry who was standing opposite her and met his eyes, "it's not like me at all." To Jack and Brian it just sounded like she was tired, but Gerry knew exactly what she meant, and he could see exactly what last night had meant to her. While he was packing he couldn't stop thinking about how right it was to have Sandra there with him, and how she didn't freak out or shout at him.

"Come on, Esther will wonder where I am." Brain picked up his bags and walked out of reception, with the others following closely behind.

The car ride back was quite quiet with only really Jack and Brian making any of the conversation. Both Gerry and Sandra had an awful lot on their minds, neither of them were now sure how to approach the subject of last night, and most of all, finally admit they needed each other.

Jack and Brian eventually fell asleep in the back of the car, leaving just Gerry and Sandra in an awkward silence, exactly what Sandra had wanted to avoid.

They both suddenly spoke each other's name at the same time.

"You first." Sandra spoke hoping that she could leave the hard work to Gerry.

"Sandra. I.."

"Guys, how far is it now?" Jack suddenly spoke from the back seat scaring both Gerry and Sandra.

"Um not long now, about 15 minutes." Sandra tried her best to sound relaxed, and not like she had just jumped out of her skin.

The car went quiet again now that Jack was awake, and Sandra drove even faster back to the boys houses than she should have. She just wanted to talk to Gerry.

She pulled up outside Gerry's house. "There you go." She said cheerfully, hoping that she could lift the tension between them.

"You want to come in?"

"I think I better, for my sanity if not yours."

Sandra sat down on the sofa and Gerry positioned himself next to her, leaving just a small space between them.

"Sandra. I know I shouldn't, but I just can't stop thinking about that kiss. And now to add to that I can't stop thinking about last night. It just felt so.." Gerry stopped unsure of how to describe his feelings. But he didn't need to.

"Perfect." Sandra spoke quietly as she stared into Gerry's eyes. "I realised this morning, that I want to wake up like that everyday, with you next to me."

"Oh Sandra" Gerry smiled as he cupped her face with one hand and stroked her hair with the other. Gerry slowly moved forward and gently kissed Sandra's lips, in the most gentle but wonderful his he could think of, well apart from their last kiss the other night!

Sandra wrapped her arms around Gerry's neck to steady herself from falling backwards. "Are you sure this is what you want Gerry ?" Sandra spoke as she pulled back from their kiss. "I can be a moody cow you know."

Gerry chuckled "Yes, I do know!"

Sandra's mock horrified look didn't last long as this time she didn't fall back on the sofa, she was pushed.

The end.
