Finish
It was a long day at Alliance HQ and frankly he was exhausted and glad to be done. He couldn't wait to get back to the apartment he shared with Jack, so he could just collapse on the couch and not move again until it was time to go to sleep. He's at the end of the street the building resides on now so it won't be much longer before he can just chill and maybe drink a beer or two with Jack. He sighs lifting his hand to rub at the back of his head, beer sounds really good right now.
He's almost at the door of the building when he runs into Cortez who lives in the same building just two floors below Jack's and his apartment. "Hey Esteban! Where you headed off to? Got a hot date or something?" Vega smirks and waggles his eyebrows suggestively. Cortez rolls his eyes and shakes his head as he moves past Vega "In your dreams James. I'm meeting up with some friends for a game of cards." James shrugs as he turns to look after Cortez "Whatever man! See you later, have fun!" Cortez just waves over his shoulder.
Shaking his head Vega heads into the building and straight to the elevator where he hits the button to go up. He glances around just for something to do as he waits for the elevator to arrive. He didn't need to wait long for he'd only glanced around for a few seconds before the elevator arrived. Stepping on, he hits the button for the fourth floor and moves to stand in the back corner. He rests against the wall and just silently waits for the elevator to reach his floor. After a few seconds he begins to hum to himself, a song that sort of reminds him of Jack. It doesn't take much longer then half way through the first half of the song for the elevator to ding, informing him of the stop on his floor. Vega sighs and opens his eyes unaware he had even closed them and steps out of the elevator.
His door is only three doors down to the right so he makes quick work of the relatively short distance and opens the door. His eyes land on quite the sight as he stands dumbfounded in the doorway. Sitting on the floor in the middle of the room is Jack, wearing nothing but one of Vega's t-shirts. Vega glances around and just now notices that the walls have been painted the same shade of red as his couch. He glances back at Jack and notices she has flecks and smudges of red paint all over herself and his shirt.
"Uh hey, busy day Jack?" he asks stunned at how strange and new his livingroom looks. Jack turns her head towards him and smiles, actually smiles, leaving him at a total lose. "Hey, like the new paint job?" she stands and stretches showing off the fact that she is literally only wearing one of his t-shirts. Vega sputters and bursts into chuckles "When did you find the time to finish all of this? Room isn't exactly small ya know." He closes the door and walks further into the room now noticing the boxes leaning against the wall full of wood flooring "What are those for?" he asks confused.
Jack smirks "Say goodbye to your carpet, I'm redecorating." James shakes his head and laughs "When you gonna find time to finish all this?" Jack shrugs "I still have the rest of today and it should be done before bed, if you wanna help that is." she looks at him expectantly. Vega shakes his head "Nu-Uh, I've had a long day. I just wanna relax with a beer or two." His refusal causes Jack's eyebrows to come together. She then smirks and all but sashays across the room lightly fluttering her hands across his shoulders and kissing him until he can barely think. "We finish before bed and there's more where that came from." she whispers against his lips.
Vega's head nods stupidly without his permission. Jack smirks "See, I knew you would help me finish." and she sashays away leaving him blinking in her wake.
The End
