A/N 1: I am still using quuotes out of Taggart so bear with me.
A/N 2: FYI Did everyone know that Blythe Duff (Jackie) is teetotal in real life. So unlike Jackie :L
"You look really good!"
They made some toast for themselves and sat down at the small, brown table.
"Jackie, since when have you worn skinny jeans," Robbie meant to say it casually but he tried to hard and he just sounded stupid. "I just found them this morning, I haven't had them on in years."
"So Robbie, what are we going to do today?"
"Well I was thinking about getting suitably drunk and then going to a club to chat up some blond women." She stared at him for a few seconds, then burst out laughing when she saw he was joking. She hit him on the arm gently, "No really, what are we going to do?" He knew when to stop teasing her and this was one of those times.
"OK, What about we go shopping for food, then rent a movie from the video shop and phone for a pizza?"
"Sounds good."
About two hours later, they had finished in the supermarket and were entering the video store. Robbie was wanting to watch an action movie but he knew that Jackie only liked horror or romance movies so he went over to where she was, "What are you going to choose for us then Jackie?"
"When did we decide that I was choosing!?"
"Shortly after I realized that you don't like action movies!" with a slight grin on his face.
"Ok but I'm not in the mood for gruesome murders, so can we please get a romantic one?" she put on her puppy-dog eyes and he couldn't refuse.
"Have you ever watched 'Moulin Rouge', Robbie?"
"Nope, I've heard of it but never got round to watching it."
"Everyone in the English speaking world has heard of 'Moulin Rouge'. Anyway, I like the story and you'll like the half-naked women in it."
She bent over to get the movie from the bottom row and Robbie got a glance of her behind in the skinnies.
It's so wrong to look at her but she's bloody gorgeous. He was lost in his thoughts when she spoke, "Can you pay for this since I paid for the shopping?" He mentally shook his head and replied, "Yeah, I guess so." pretending to sigh.
XOXOXOX
They were back at his flat phoning for some pizza, Jackie wanted a chicken and vegetable one while Robbie opted for a pepperoni. Robbie came off the phone and turned to face her, "I'm just going to the toilet, then we can wait for the food and eventually we'll watch the film, OK?"
"Yep. One question; can we watch the movie in the dark, with all the lights off?" She hadn't did that in years and she wanted to get close to Robbie like young people do in a cinema. Robbie was thinking the exact same thing so he had to agree, "Of course we can but I really need to go to the loo!" Jackie was still giggling when he left the room.
Why does he have this effect on me? If anyone else had said that I would have laughed a little but this is too far. She thought to herself.
When Robbie arrived back, they got some alcohol and waited for the pizza. When the delivery boy knocked on the door Robbie got up and answered the door. He gave the boy £1 extra, hoping that it would bring both of them some luck for the night ahead.
"Do we need plates?" Jackie asked.
"No, they come with plates." He said, waving the box around.
"OK OK, no need to be sarcastic. Put the movie on!" He went over to the DVD player and loaded the movie into the player. On his way back he flicked the light switch off, "Oooo spooky!" He loved teasing her like that. She threw a cushion at him, "Shut up and sit down, it's about to start!"
About half way through they were both quite bored with the film, Jackie had watched it too many times to find anything new in it and Robbie didn't think that the woman were that good-looking. He got up to get some more beer and wine; somehow they had finished their pizzas and the drinks quite quickly. When he arrived back from the kitchen Jackie had put her feet up on the couch so that there was no space for Robbie to sit down, "Oh come on where am I going to sit!?"
"I don't know but I'm more comfortable like this. You'll have to sit on the floor or try and move me!" she had had more to drink than she thought. Robbie knew that his floor was too hard to sit on, so he took her second option. He tried to lift her legs but he couldn't be bothered trying too hard because he had an idea of his own. "Or why don't I sit on top of you?" he was trying to hide the small smile that was appearing on his face.
"You dare Robbie Ross and you're a dead man!" she was laughing quite hard
"What will you do?"
"I'll tell the guys one of your secrets that you've only told me."
"If you do, then I'll tell them that you watched me in only a towel." he had a smirk on his face. In the background Ewan McGregor was singing "Your Song" to Nicole Kidman in one of the more romantic scenes of the movie. By this time Robbie was covering Jackie while on his hands and knees on the couch. They weren't touching any of the others body but they both knew that there was no going back now. She gently put her arms around his neck as he put his arms under her and leant his face closer to hers.
