Morning After

Jake woke up to the sun shining on his face. He looked at Sherry sleeping in his arms. The events of last night returning to him. He smiled glad to see that she had feelings for him like he did her. He didn't know what he was going to tell her though. He need time to think. He slowly unwrapped his arm around her waist. Sherry moved a little but didn't wake up.

Jake quietly got out of bed he pulled his boxers and jeans on. He walked out the bedroom and sat down on the couch. He had to figure out what to say to her when she woke up. He needed to get his feelings straight. He knows he cares about her, just how much though. He would die for her he know that without a fact. Could I possible love her? He thought to himself He had never felt this way about anyone before. It was a new and strange feeling for him. He turned on the T.V and sat back on the couch while he tried to figure everything out.

Sherry woke up she rolled over and saw that it was empty on the other side. Then the events of last night returned to her. She blushed as she thought about them. How Jake had touched her and kissed her. She didn't know her first time was going to be like that. She got out of bed and pulled her tank top and sleeping pants on. She looked at the sheets on her bed they need to be changed. She walked over to her closet and grabbed some clean sheets.

She changed the sheets on the bed and threw the dirty ones in the clothes basket. Her body was sore in places she didn't know they could be sore in. It was a good kind of sore though. Then she started to panic. What the hell am I going to say to him? Sherry thought to herself. She walked over and picked up her phone. She was going to text Claire and ask for advice. Then she thought better of it Claire would be asking her none stop questioning about last night. She wouldn't mind talking about it with her, just not right now she needed to get everything straightened out first.

Sherry heard the T.V was on she took a deep breath and made her way down the hallway. She saw Jake sitting on the couch with no shirt on. Did last night mean anything to him or was it like a one night stand? Sherry thought to herself. She took another deep breath before she spoke.

"Anything good on?" Sherry asked.

She saw Jake jumped a little he looked at her then back at the T.V.

"No not really." Jake said as he stood up and looked at her.

"Umm are you hungry I can make us some breakfast or something." Sherry said as she headed into the kitchen.

"Sherry we need to talk about last night." Jake said as he walked over and grabbed her arm softly.

"Um.. Ok.. What about it?" Sherry said as she looked down with a blush creeping across her face.

" Well.." Jake didn't know what to say.

"Listen Jake it was like a one night kind of deal.. That's fine.." Sherry said as she kept looking down at the floor.

Jake took his hand and tilted Sherry's face up until she was looking at him, so he was looking into her eyes.

"Is that what you think. That I wanted a one night stand from you?" Jake asked his eyes searching hers.

" I don't know, I didn't start it Jake.. So I don't know what you want me to say." Sherry said.

"Well it wasn't."

"Then what was it Jake? I need to know if we're friends or if we're more?" Sherry said her eyes searching his.

"I don't know how to do this Sherry." Jake said as he stepped back and shook his head.

"Don't know how to do what?" Sherry asked her eyes beginning to fill with tears.

"This.. Us.. I have never done this before.." Jake said as he looked at her confused and unsure.

"Us.. So there is an us now?" Sherry asked as she stepped toward him.

"If you want it to be." Jake said.

Sherry has never seen him like this before. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Jake wanted to try to be together, he had feelings for just like she had for him. She walked over to him she placed her arms on his shoulders. She got up on her tip toes she pulled his head down a little and kissed him. It was sweet and passionate when she pulled back she smiled up at the man she loved.

"Yes I want it to be an us.. I want to us to be together Jake." Sherry said.

"Thank god." Jake said as he dipped his head down and kissed her.

Jake was glad they wanted the same thing. He kissed her a little more then pulled back. He looked at her sherry eyes were bright with happiness. He felt a slight smile creep across his face. He needed to warn her though.

"Sherry I'm new to this.. I have never been in a real relationship before." Jake said as he looked down at her.

"You think I have done this before? I'm new to this to." Sherry said with a smile.

"What? Come on I'm sure you have a had boyfriend before." Jake said as he stood back a little and looked at her.

"No. Not really Jake. Nothing serious." Sherry said as she blushed a little.

Jake looked at her then he remember something the way she screamed, the way her body tensed up, and the look of pain on her face. He remember the question he was going to ask her but she kissed him, then he forgot all about it, until now.

"Sherry was I.. I am the first guy you sex with?" Jake asked as he looked at her.

"Um.." Sherry looked down at the floor her face bright red. "Yes." She said in a low voice.

Jake knew it, he knew it from the beginning, but hearing her admit it shocked him. He was so rough with her last night he couldn't believe she didn't say anything why didn't she say anything.

"Sherry why didn't you tell me." Jake said still looking at her but with concern now, had he hurt her last night.

"I thought if I told you.. You would have stopped and I didn't want you to.." Sherry said as peeked up at him.

"I didn't hurt you did? I mean yea I know it had to hurt some but-"

Sherry let out a little laugh and finally moved her head up to look at him.

"No Jake you didn't hurt me. I don't remember me complaining do you?"

"No you defiantly were not complaining." Jake said with a cocky grin as he wrapped his arms around Sherry.

Sherry smiled as she watched him lower his head. He was about to kiss her when she heard her phone go off. She gave him a quick kiss then ran back to bedroom to grab the phone. Her smile fell from her face she saw it was Chris's number. She looked at the clock. It was ten in the morning. She picked up the phone and hit the talk button.

"Hello" Sherry said as she walked back down the hallway.

"Sherry, it's Chris." Chris said.

"Hey Chris." Sherry said she was in the living room now. She watched Jake turn around and look at her when she said his name.

"Hang on a sec I'm going to put on you speaker phone." Sherry said.

She didn't want another argument to break out between Jake and her about this. So she was going to let Chris explain to Jake what he told her last night.

"Alright on your speaker phone." Sherry said.

"Ok. So are you and Jake still coming today." Chris asked.

Sherry looked at Jake she wasn't going to lie she was scared he was going to flip out again.

"Why do you need Sherry and I there Redfield?" Jake asked in a low voice.

"We have the ID of who shot Sherry and who is behind the BOW out break. Their the same person Jake." Chris said.

"Alright but only on two condition's." Jake said.

"Name it." Chris said.

"One you and I need to have a talk. I think its about time we had that talk don't you?" Jake asked Chris.

"You're right, after this mission is over I will tell you anything you want to know." Chris said.

"Alright the second.. Sherry.. Stays with me no one else." Jake said as he looked at her.

"Wouldn't have it any other way Jake. I knew you weren't going to let her out of your sight. " Chris said.

"Ok then we have a deal." Jake said.

"We will see you in an two hours Chris." Sherry said and hit the end button.

"I'm glad to see you came around." Sherry said as she looked at Jake.

"I thought about it. The only reason I acted that way last night was because I was scared. I still am scared but if you're with me at least I can protect you. At least a little better." Jake said as he looked at her.

"You don't have to worry I will be fine, plus like you said you will be there to protect me." Sherry said as she kissed him.

"Yeah will we be better get ready so we can leave." Jake said.

"Yea I wonder who is behind all of this." Sherry asked as they walked down the hallway to get changed.
