Sorry this update took so long! I made this one short just to end the story. I am starting to write another story, just having a little writer's block. It should be up by tomorrow! Enjoy.
With Ackmeli being dead, Jaz felt weight come ripped off her shoulders. She felt free, and everyone noticed the uplifted change in Jaz. Sitting in the helo, Jaz's nervous hands were rock solid, and she was able to let her shoulders slouch, Dalton watched with a smile on his face.
Jaz turned next to her to see Adam looking at her, she smiled, "What?" Adam shrugs, "Nothing." And he turns forward to look at Amir and McG who are turned around and having a conversation with Preach at the front of the helo.
Jaz continued to look at Adam, and grabbed his hand. Adam looked back at Jaz and smiled again.
Thank You, Jaz mouthed towards Adam. He squeezed her hand, and nodded in reply. Soon they all were back on base and in the kitchen of their quarters. Jaz looked around at everyone, and she stood from her chair where she was currently sitting, "hey, I'll make dinner!"
Preach looked at Jaz and saw how much herself she looked, "We all will"
Amir stood and went for his apron, "great idea, what were you thinking?
Jaz turned towards Amir, "Pizza, pizza sounds amazing." Amir shook his head, "I am a great cook and you want pizza." He said with a laugh.
Everyone else chuckled and McG stood, "Hell yeah Amir, Pizza sounds great. Did the chef in your childhood home show you how to make it?" Jaz laughed, a genuine laugh. She turned towards Adam, who was smiling at her again, she shook her head playfully.
" . Funny McG. Jaz, Dalton can you run and get more beer, someone here drank it all." Amir said while he hit McG's stomach.
Jaz looked at Preach, who nodded and smiled. She then turned towards Adam who was already standing up, "uh. Yeah sure. We will be right back." Preach said to Jaz just low enough for her to hear, "Take your time." Jaz turned and gave him a look and she then walked towards Dalton and they soon were out of range of the rest of their team.
Jaz turned towards Dalton, "Why do you keep smiling at me."
Dalton responded by grabbing her hand, "Because, you seem happy. Different, a good different." Jaz smiled and squeezed his hand.
Soon they had their beer and were walking back to their quarters, a six pack and each of their hands. then Adam stopped Jaz between buildings . "What? Whats wrong." Jaz asked.
"Nothing is wrong, I just wanted a moment for us." Adam said and moved in to kiss Jaz. Finally kissing her after killing Ackmeli, made him feel a whole lot better. Jaz mumbled into Adam's lips, which made him pull back microscopicly. "What did you say." He said with a smile.
Jaz laughed, "This is going to be hard to hide." Adam smiled, "It will be worth it." He then kissed her more passion, and pushed her against the wall. With doing this Jaz, dropped on of the six packs on the ground. Jaz starts laughing and looks down to see it was McG's beer she had completely shattered.
Adam laughs, "Oh, well. He doesn't need anymore." He kisses Jaz one more time, and both of them walk into their quarters and into the pizza smelled kitchen.
"Perfect timing!" Amir said and pulled the pizza out of the oven. Jaz and Adam set down the beer, and McG looked for the beer he gets every time, "Where is my beer?" McG looked at them. Jaz put a hand on his shoulder, "Sorry, McG. I tripped." She felt Adam squeeze her arm, knowing he was trying to hold in his laughter.
"Geez, watch where you are going next time." McG said with a smile. Jaz laughed and watched as everyone was taking their seats at the table. Going to sit down between Preach and Dalton, Jaz finally sat, and felt Adams hand go to her thigh, as he squeezed her leg she gave him a devilish look.
Adam stood, and looked at everyone, "To us." Everyone grabbed their beers and raised them, for them. Jaz smiled and looked at Adam. Then at McG and Amir arguing about something, which made her laugh. Then finally at Preach feeding Patton. She smiled, and took it all in. She was home.
