When Jayne and Chris got back to the flat it was a little passed four in the afternoon.

"So what shall we do this evening?" Chris asked as he wrapped his arms around Jayne.
"I can think of a few things, but, I think we need to talk a few things through first"
"You know Jayne sometimes you can be very sensible" Chris kissed her cheek, "I'll put the kettle on"

Jayne sat on the sofa and thought about what she wanted to say.

"So," Chris said handing Jayne another cup of tea "what did you want to talk about"
"Us"
Chris nodded, he knew they needed to talk, but he wasn't sure what Jayne wanted to say.
"I really want this, us, to work, but, technically I'm still married, and what with Phil working on the show…"
"You want to take things slowly?"

Jayne nodded

"That's Ok Jayne. I understand I really do. I want this to work just as much as you do. I've waited a long time for this, for you and I don't intend of letting you go."

Jayne leant against Chris shoulder "I love you Chris"
"Love you to." Chris replied "If you want to talk about last night, I'm here, I won't push you though"
"Thank you, but I think I need to tell you, I don't want any secrets from you"

Jayne took a deep breath before she relayed the details of her conversation with Phil. How he had been so nice and calm about everything that night, yet, the following morning seemed so different.

"I don't think I could be that calm, I if knew I were loosing you" Chris said "I wasn't that calm"
Jayne looked at him "Chris?"
"When you told me you were getting married, all I wanted was for you to be happy, but I wanted you to be happy with me"
"You never said anything"
"I didn't have any right to"
Jayne kissed him hard "what we did or didn't do is in the past, it doesn't matter, we're here now"
Chris smiled at her "you really are a beautiful woman, in ever sense of the word." Chris captured her lips again, a kiss that was so powerful that it knocked Jayne backwards.

Jayne neither minded or cared, she kissed him back with just as much passion. Phil had never kissed her like that, even in the early years of there marriage. Chris was one of the most passionate men she knew and thanks to recent events she had come to understand just how passionate he was.

"Chris"
"mmm"
"Take me to bed"
"Don't tell me you're tired" Chris murmured as he kissed his way down her slender neck.
"Not tired, no, but definitely ready for bed"
"Well in that case…" Chris said whisking Jayne into his arms "your wish is my command"

Chris had planned of paying Jayne back tonight for her little bra stunt earlier, but, when the most beautiful woman in the world asks you to take her to bed you cant say no.


After a couple hours of love making the rumble from Chris stomach reminded them that they had not eaten.

"Well that was romantic" Jayne said giggling.
"We should probably eat"
"Probably, but I comfy" Jayne said as she cuddled closer into Chris chest.
"Me to" Chris said holding Jayne tighter "but we need to eat at some point"
Jaynes stomach rumbled then "that's probably a good idea"
"Now who's being romantic" Chris said letting a chuckle escape his lips. He checked the time before adding "why don't you have a bath and I'll start dinner?"

Jayne looked up at the man she loved "what have I done to deserve you?"
"That's how I feel about you"

Jayne and Chris shared one last kiss before climbing out of bed and heading to there separate activities.


Jayne sank in to a hot bath filled with bubbles and smiled. She couldn't believe just how lucky she was. Here she was in love with her best friend and knowing he loved her back was a wonderful feeling.

Phil had always been kind and she had loved him and in a way would always love him. She had given up and being with Chris a long time ago, they had always had this silent agreement that skating would come first, and it had. Until recently. ITV and Dancing On Ice had given them a second change. A second change to skate, a second change to get to know each other and second change at falling in love all over again.

"Knock knock, can I come in?" Chris said as he opened the bathroom door
"Of course"
Chris handed Jayne an ice cold glass of white wine "thought you might like this"
"You know me to well" Jayne said accepting the glass "Do you remember when we first met"
"Of course I do. You were this blonde haired little ball of energy skating round the ice"
Jayne giggled "and you were this blonde haired very handsome boy watching me from the rink side"
"I never used to watch you" Chris said trying to protest
"Don't tell fibs, I know you did."
"ok maybe a little, but you were beautiful to watch, you still are"

Jayne took a sip of her wine "I remember the first time you took my hand and we skated round the ice, something felt right, not like with Michael. Your grip was always stronger, more secure"

Chris moved in to the bath room and picked up a sponge, as he began to wash Jayne back he said "I was nervous, you were already a bit of a celebrity and here I was skating with you"

"I was nervous to, all my girlfriends were envious you know"
"Of what?"
"You were the cutest guy there"
"Were?"
"Ok you still are" Jayne said

Chris kissed her shoulder "as much as I would love to continue washing every single part of your wonderful body I have dinner to finish"

Jayne sunk back into the bath and Chris headed to the kitchen to finish the chicken stir-fry.
