You guys are amazing! I really appreciate the reviews, so keep writing them! I'm so happy for Fall break from classes, so I'll be able to write a lot more this week. Enjoy!
Slowly waking up, Jaz rubbed her eyes to see Adam still in the chair across the room, asleep. Smiling at this sight made Jaz feel something in her that she hasn't experienced much before. Happiness. Watching Adam lasted about five minutes, until his snoring started again. Which made Jaz laugh.
Stirring awake, Dalton opened his eyes to see Jaz staring and laughing at him. "What are you laughing at?" Adam said with a yawn.
"Oh nothing." Jaz said with a smirk.
Moving towards Jaz, Adam came and sat down next to her on her bed, "how'd you sleep?" Putting a hand on her cheek, Jaz allowed her head to lay into it.
"hmm, I didn't have a nightmare. So I would say pretty great." Jaz smiled and looked in Adam's eyes, "Thanks to you"
Unable and unwilling to move, they both sat like that which felt like hours, but was only a couple minutes.
"Shit, what time is it!" Adam took away his hand from her cheek instantly.
Jaz turned around to see the time, 0400. Jumping out of her bed, she realized what this would mean if the team saw them like this. Throwing Adam his jacket, she whispered-yelled to him, "you need to leave. This could be bad if anyone sees you."
Grabbing his jacket in the air, Adam was on his feet in an instant, "Yeah, definitely. They should be waking up soon." Adam down at Jaz, realizing this is the best time for this. Slowly and softly Adam bent his head down and gave her a soft kiss, "Just because, I probably won't be able to this anytime soon."
Jaz smiled after the kiss, then shoved Adam. "Go, now! Amir is usually the first one awake."
Adam walked backwards out of Jaz's room, watching her smiling face with the same expression on his face. Slipping away he slowly made his way to his desk to do some paperwork he has been gallivanting on doing. Doing the paperwork on his desk with a big smile on his face, his mind came to. Thinking of him and Jaz, he came to a realization, "I am so screwed."
Watching Adam walk to his desk, she closed her door. Sitting down staring at the door, Jaz let out a sigh, "I am screwed" and then fell back on her bed.
Once her clock read 0500 she was out of her room, to see that Amir was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, McG on the couch reading something. And then she made eye contact with Adam at his desk. Turning away with a smile, she turned towards Amir and McG, "Good Morning" she said with a smile.
Amir turned, "Morning, breakfast?"
Walking up to Amir she looked at his black eye and bruising nose, "Shouldn't I make you breakfast, since I broke your nose?" Jaz sighed.
Without turning around, she heard McG, "You kicked me in the stomach, so I'll take breakfast also!" McG said with a smile.
McG put down his magazine and turned towards Jaz, "Wow, you slept. You don't look like shit. Let me check your bandages."
Jaz turn towards McG with a smile, "Fuck you, and yes I did sleep well." Walking over to him she sat down next to him and took off her shirt, leaving just a sports bra. Positioning herself purposely with her facing Dalton's desk, Jaz willingly let McG check her back.
Adam looked up from his paperwork to hear McGuire asking Jaz to check out her back. Glancing up and down from his paperwork to Jaz, he noticed her taking off her shirt. And that did something to him, he couldn't take his eyes off of her.
Making eye contact with Adam, she knew her plan was working. Whatever her plan was, she didn't even know. But getting this attention from him, made her feel more alive. She almost didn't hear McG behind her say, "I was thinking, I actually don't want you to cook me breakfast, I don't like burnt food." McG said with a laugh.
Laughing, Jaz hit McG on the knee. "You know what, you deserved that kick. You are a pain in the ass you know that?"
That comment made everyone in the room laugh, "Is my back good?" Jaz said between laughing.
"Yeah, just don't go punching the bag for another two hours, and don't go breaking friendlies noses." McG nodded towards Amir with a smile.
Turning around Amir said to Jaz, "Hit him again, or I will."
Adam then rose, and walked to the kitchen. Getting a coffee ready for him, and another one ready as well. Seeing Preach come out of his room, he gave Preach the coffee and walked back to his desk.
"Top, how did you know Preach would be up right now?" Amir said with an astonished look.
"We know everything about each other. And can read each other without having the other say anything." Preach said with a yawn. Taking a sip of coffee, he looked at Adam, and did notice something different. He then looked at Jaz, and noticed the same thing. Bring conclusions to his brain.
Noticing Preach's looks, Adam stood abruptly. "All right team, so far no missions. Campbell is giving us a day after what happened over the last few. So relax, go to town, the beach. Enjoy it while it lasts."
All nodding in agreement, Amir spoke up, "The beach sounds great to me, how about you guys? Want another rematch on soccer?"
Jaz frowned and looked at Amir, "I don't think I can, with the burns. It wouldn't mix well with the sun and I sure as hell don't want sand in it." She then gave Adam a quick glance and looked away.
Noticing her glance Preach nodded towards Amir, "Alright brother. McG and I are in also."
Shocked by hearing his name, McG jumped into the conversation, "Hey! I didn't agree to this. I want to relax."
"You are going. Boy, you need some sun." Preach said with a laugh.
Laughing, Amir said, "Isn't that the damn truth."
Turning towards a laughing Amir, McG gave him a look. "Alright Amir, you are going down. Don't cry this time."
Jaz laughed and looked at Preach, who was giving her a suspicious look, "Why are you looking at me?"
Preach smiled behind his coffee," Oh nothing."
Adam looked up and saw Preach giving Jaz a peculiar look, a look that seems like he knew something, and in this moment he had to play it off that there was nothing happening like that. Adam coughed and spoke up, "I'm in also."
Not expecting this from Adam, Preach could only nod.
Adam looked at Jaz and spoke through his eyes to her, saying that he has to do this. Make it as normal as possible.
Disappointed, Jaz nodded and went to the kitchen for more coffee. And heard the guys get ready and leave, she heard McG call out, "Don't burn anything Jaz!" Turning around she gave McG the bird as they were all walking out. Adam giving her a sorry look, and they were out the door, and she was alone.
Taking in the peace, she cleaned, read three chapters of a book, and stared at the art on the wall for a full hour. Until she heard a noise of a door shutting, that knocked her out of her spacing out.
"Hey" She heard, and without turning around she knew who it was.
"Gave up already, Top? "Jaz turned to see Adam walking up to her on the couch, with a big smile on his face he plopped down next to her.
"I told them I had a lot of paperwork to do, which is true. But I wanted to spend some time with you also." Adam said.
"I had something else in mind also." Adam gave a devilish look to Jaz, and started to kiss her. Slowly at first then it became more heated.
Laying Jaz down on her back, he heard her wince, "Burns." Jaz said and then began to kiss Adam again. Before they knew it Adam's shirt was thrown off, and Jaz's as well. Between kisses Jaz suggested, "Should we take this to my room or yours?"
Adam was about to respond when he heard his phone go off, jumping up to grab it. Adam saw that it was Patricia Campbell. Smiling at half-naked Jaz on the couch he put up his finger to her, referring he would be only a minute.
"Deputy Director Campbell" Dalton said with a smile, which fell in an instant.
Noticing the change in his expression Jaz grabbed her shirt and walked up to Adam. Nodding into his phone, he finally spoke again, "Acknowledged." And hung up the phone. Looking at Jaz, he put his hands on the outside of her arms and took a deep breath.
Jaz nervously asked, "What? What is wrong Adam?"
Looking into her eyes, "Ackmeli escaped." Adam then watched the blood drain from Jaz's face, as one of her nightmares have come to life.
