She did her best to paste on a straight inviting face as she heard the lock release and the door opened. Parker did indeed look like he had been sleeping, his chest was bare and he was wearing a pair of plain gray sweats that were a little too big for him. She smiled at him apologetically.

"Oh god, I am sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." She said, lifting a hand to him. A silent way to say 'I will leave you to go back to sleep' although her presence was enough to wake him up and he would not refuse her entrance to his apartment.

"Oh no… I was sleeping for a while now. Unfortunate side effect of the pain pills. My sleep cycle is all shot to shit now. Come in, please. I will make some coffee." He said as he rubbed his face. She slipped in, noticing he had a basic t shirt in his hand behind the door. She hoped he wouldn't put it on just yet. At least not until he turned on the light and allowed her to see his chest fully in the light. Her wish granted, he closed the door, locked it and then flipped on the light. He stretched a little, still limited but she could see his muscles pulling and becoming taught as he did this, the lovely smattering of hair on his chest looked so inviting as two perfect brown nipples peaked through it. She could also see the bullet wound in his lower side where it had punched a clean round hole through his flesh. It was clean and healing nicely though covered in a glue like bandage which meant he didn't have to where gauze which he preferred.

He finished his stretch with a prolonged sigh as he slipped the t shirt on. Jill was sorry to see his chest go. She doesn't really think this man knows just how delicious his body looks. She was doing all she could to take her eyes off him before he caught her staring. She managed to do so. She looked toward the chair that had just evidently been vacated, the sheet dragged across the floor and the off channel television. She chuckled a little, and behind her, Parker did too.

"Yeah I was watching a DVD… that beast woman they got to replace O'Brian practically demanded I watch all the safety and procedure protocol videos again as if what happen to me was a' Parker arced his fingers in quotations "a breach of standard protocol and procedure. I was shot at and nearly blown up for Christ sake. It wasn't like I said, 'Ooooh shiny red button, let me push it to see what happens'… ha… I hope she doesn't stay." Parker finished as he scuffed with a limp across the floor into the small kitchenette and Jill giggled. She actually giggled. It had been a terrible long time since she had done anything of the sort.

"So what brings you here at this hour?" Parker asked from the kitchenette. Jill stood there for a moment. The giggles had died down and now she was starting to feel guilty. She shouldn't be in here. She looked down at the folder in her hand and seen her name underneath Chris Redfield. She should be heading her superior's advice and resting, not visiting Parker hoping he would give her a little attention. Her delay in an answer caused Parker to stop in the action of putting the coffee grains into the machine and peak out at her. "Hey… Jill, you okay?"

She lifted her eyes to him where they had been looking at the folder.

"Yes, I am okay. I… just wanted to check up on you."

"You checked on me this morning. Not that I mind your visits. It's lonely here with the doctors and the beast woman poking at me to do things like watching boring videos- Jill…' Parker's face went from casual to concern when she continued to look a little confused and lost. He walked up to her as best he could. Jill was sure the doctor would be hollering at him for not using the crutch. He wrapped his big hands around her upper arms and looked at her critically. She looked up at him.

"What it is, something is bothering you." Parker said softly.

"Chris and I are leaving at 10:00 hours… for a mission." She said. His hands came down her arms and she knew he felt her quiver as his fingertips tickled the back of her arms, though whether it was intentional or not was left open for debate. She could tell something was upsetting him though he made a great effort to hide it. And he did for the most part.

"Oh? Is it you don't feel right about the mission?" He asked. Really he thought she'd be happy to have Chris with her, instead she looked rather sad about it.

"No nothing like that. I just… I wish you were coming with us." Jill admitted and knew it was true.

"Oh… Jill. I wish I could too. I don't much like being stuck here. I feel completely useless. I want to go but unfortunately I can't." He said and turned away from her, limping just out of reach. She looked at him desperately, she stepped closer and came very close to just throwing caution to the wind, wrapping her arms around his middle and kissing the space between his shoulder blades.

"You're not useless, Parker. You will heal and then you can come with me again." Jill said, hoping it would sound encouraging to him. She would not want to be in his situation either and can't imagine what it must be like."…with us. The team." She quipped quickly.

"What I wouldn't give right now…' Parker started to say something but stopped. He hobbled back into the kitchenette to start making the coffee again.

"Parker…' Jill whispered his name as she walked over to the doorway to see him idly playing with the grounds in the filter with the spoon, his large body seemingly diminished. "I didn't tell you to upset you."

"I am just jealous. I will get over it." He said with a crooked grin and a wink. Jill hadn't expected him to just up say he was jealous. But Jealous of what is another question.

"I want to be with you too." Jill said and hadn't clicked until the words were out of her mouth how that could have been taken. She flushed a bit but turned around to hide the embarrassment she felt.
