Rob took me to the cinema. Like a gentleman he paid, I let him without complaint. Hey I'll pay him back tonight, if you know what I mean, he did find it a bit odd that I wasn't complaining but I guess he let it slide.

The film was good I guess. Rob didn't seem to feel the need to be a gentleman in the dark amongst strangers, must remember that for future reference.

As he dropped me off at my house I convinced him to sit on our garden swing for a little while.

"So what time are you coming over tonight?"

"Mastriani… I'm not sure it's a good idea."

"And right now I don't care what you think. I've already planned tea."

Courtesy of Mastriani's but he doesn't need to know that yet.

"Well that's a bit worrying, seen as how you admitted you can't cook earlier. I'm more worried about your dad chasing me down the street with a shotgun when he finds me with his lovely innocent daughter."

"In that case you'll be glad to know that mom and dad are away for the weekend, so really you're doing a good deed and chaperoning there lovely innocent daughter and making sure she doesn't burn the house down."

"I'm not sure they'll see it that way."

"Rob…"

"Ok. I can see I'm not going to win. I'll be round at 7 ok?"

"That'll be lovely. Thank you."

Then with a quick check on the window, making sure mom wasn't watching, I grabbed his collar and pressed my lips to his. My mouth instantly finding his he seemed reluctant at first but soon relaxed and appeared to be enjoying it as much as I was.

"Well Mastriani I guess I'll see you tonight. Don't bother ringing for a takeaway I'll cook."

He gave me a quick peck on the lips and then left on his bike before I could respond.

I let myself into the house.

"Mom I'm home."

Since I didn't get a reply I assumed they had already left. I found the usual note on the kitchen fridge. I'm sure you can all guess what it said? Yep that's right, behave, don't burn the house down, see you soon. What is it with parents and The Be Safe Note? As I went up to my room I checked all the brothers' rooms, empty. Perfect.

I stripped off and put my radio on and took a shower about double the length of my usual shower.

"Ring ring ring."

I jumped out the shower and raced to grab the phone, turning the radio down at the same time.

"Mastriani household, Jessica speaking."

"Jessica! Have you any information on the whereabouts of Ruth and her kidnapper?"

Dr. Krantz, I could have guessed. Just as I'm feeling good he brings it all back.

"Dr.K. I promised to ring you the second I knew something, anything."

"I'm sure there's no need for me to remind you of how impor…"

"Yes I know. I do realise that my best friend is missing."

"Well then I guess I'll wait for your call, just don't do any thing rash."

Since I was done in the shower anyway I just went to my drawer and put on the 'present' that I had bought for Rob. Then I went to my wardrobe and put on the usual jeans and T-shirt. Just so he wouldn't guess.

You probably all think I'm being heartless, planning stuff when my best friends missing but the thing is I may not know where she is but I know she's safe, I can feel it. Don't ask how I just can. Maybe it's the physic abilities or maybe it's the fact that we have known each other so long, either way I know she's safe.

"Hey you."

As I opened the door to Rob I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Jess."

He seemed a little shy as he cautiously walked into the kitchen,

"Relax there gone, your safe."

"Alright then Mastriani, get ready for me to knock your socks off."

I raised my eyebrows.

"Just my socks?"

Hopefully that was flirty enough.

He blushed and started preparing stuff to cook.

"Wait a minute. We don't have to eat immediately. Come sit down watch TV with me for a little."

Seen as how I had a good grip on his hand he didn't have a choice when I led him into the living room. I had of course had the TV on. So I sat us on the sofa, Rob still seemed incapable of independent thought. I snuggled in and behaved for a while.

"Rob I need some help."

That got his attention.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"Relax I'm fine but in case you haven't noticed I'm quite short and find it hard to reach certain things. So I need you to help me."

"Yea sure. When?"

He had instantly relaxed. I couldn't wait to have some fun.

"Now. Come on follow me."

Once again I had a good hold on his hand, so I led him upstairs. I could feel him start to panic. The further up the stairs I got the more he panicked.

"Ermm… Mastriani won't your parents…"

"Don't worry I just need you to hold something while I put up a shelf."

He relaxed a little but not much. When we got to my room I closed the door behind us.

"And where are you putting this shelf?"

He had that great half amused half annoyed smile.

"Ok so I told a little lie."

And, for the second time today I jumped him. As he deepened the kiss I got that weird ticklish feeling in the bottom of my stomach. His hands were nicely holding my waist as I pulled him in his grip on my waist tightened and he led me onto my bed. As usual when things start to get interesting, Rob pulled away.

"Jess maybe we should go back downstairs?"

"I think we're ok up here."

I kissed him again and he, reluctantly, relaxed. His hands were under my top, the tingly feeling came back. I felt his hands run up and down my back; he found his 'present'. His hands moved to the top of my jeans and just settled there while we kissed. My hands had a mind of there own and started to take his top off and for the second time this evening he stopped.

"Jess, are you sure?"

"Wouldn't be here if I wasn't"

With a little smile he kissed me and started to take off my top and undo his present. My hands were now undoing his jeans. I could feel his smile against my lips. As he took of my bra he moved one hand down to the waist band of my jeans his other hand staying put to enjoy itself. My whole body was a ticklish mess by now, in a good way. I sighed as he undid the button on my jeans, as I wriggled out of them he stopped kissing me.

"Jess, I love you. But you know I can wait as long as you need."

"I love you too. I don't need any longer."

He kissed me and I melted into his arms. Soon we were both reaching for the blanket I kept folded at the bottom of my bed. He held me and gently kissed my lips. Before slowly sliding into me.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

I looked into his eyes.

"Yes"

I felt shivers go up and down my spine as it started…

The shivers lasted well after it finished and we had gone downstairs. Where Rob continued to cook. Once again it tasted fantastic. He really can cook. After we had eaten I took him back into the living room, where the TV was still on from earlier. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or if Rob was really grinning as much as I was. Either way I was happy. I was even happier when, after I sat on the sofa, Rob put his arm round me and started to kiss me. It seems the whole jailbait thing was forgotten, excellent. We watched some film on TV together. As the film finished he got up.

"Jess I think I better go home."

"What, and leave me here…alone?"

I know I was playing the helpless girlfriend you know with the pouted lip and everything. The truth is I could stay home alone for weeks before I got worried, but I didn't Rob to go.

"Mastriani, you and I both know that your brothers will be back at some point tonight and they wouldn't be happy to find me here."

"Rob, I have found them in all sorts of states with their girlfriends, they'll be fine."

"Jess…"

"I'm not taking no for an answer."

I took his hand, again, and started to go upstairs. He didn't panic this time but I knew if I looked behind me his expression would be less then happy. I managed to get him into my room and close the door before he spoke again.

"You know the best way to avoid you getting into trouble, and therefore avoid not been able to see each other, is to keep your brothers and your mum happy."

"And right now I don't care."

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him then he led me to my bed, which he had neatly made after earlier, and we were lying on it quite happily. He seemed to have come round to my way of thinking.

"I'll stay until your asleep then I'm leaving."

"Fine then."

I was in a mood now you'd think, since we had just slept together, my boyfriend would jump at the chance to stay with me now.

"You know Rob you might as well leave now."

"What's wrong jess?"

"If you honestly don't know what's wrong then I can't help you. If you want to go then go."

"Of course I don't want to go. I just want there to be more of today. If I stay and your brothers say something then it won't happen."

I guess he makes a good point. Damn him!

"Yea, ok. I'll walk you out."

"No I meant what I said. I'll stay until you're asleep, then I'll let myself out and I'll wait until your brothers are here. I'm not leaving you alone."

Robs been protective since the accident. In his eyes since I haven't caught the guy I'm still at risk. I love him for caring; I just wish he wouldn't leave at all tonight, not sure why just a feeling.

Rob waited in the bedroom as I got ready for bed in my bathroom. I picked my sexiest Pj's.

"Sure I can't tempt you to stay?"

"I'm sure you could that's why you're going to bed and I'm sitting here."

"Rob I'll behave."

"Sleep now!"

"Yes sir."

Seriously I felt like saluting. Just as I was getting in another mood with him he leaned over the bed and kissed me gently on the lips.

"Night night darling. Love you."

I smiled and settled down. It's sweet really. As I drifted off I felt rob wander round my room, opening my eyes a little I saw him pick up the spy novel I bought when I ran away from crane. You know the one I he's got and I thought it would bring us closer to read it. As he picked it up I saw him smile and heard him chuckle. He sat back down on the chair and started to read it from the beginning.

He was still reading it when I woke up drenched with sweat at about 2am. When I sat up he jumped out the chair.

"Jess? Darling it's ok. It was only a dream."

"What? I don't think…"

"You've been dreaming for a while, I didn't leave because it looked like a bad nightmare I thought you might panic if you woke up alone."

"Never mind. Phone."

"Jess there was no phone, you just woke up."

"GET ME THE PHONE."

He ran to get it; I guess he isn't that used to me shouting. When he came back I was out of bed putting my clothes on, I should say struggling to put my clothes on I was shaking that much. Which is why when Rob passed me the phone he started to put my clothes on for me, I concentrated on dialling. I love how he didn't ask any questions.

"Dr. Krantz. I've found her."

"I'll be over immediately."

Only when I knew he was coming over could I relax. Rob finished putting my clothes on and then he carried my downstairs. Placing me on the sofa and going into the kitchen. He returned with a mug of tea.

"I've put extra sugar in. I've unlocked the door for Dr.K. Should I wake one of your brothers?"

I just shook my head.

"Alright then."

He sat next to me, still not asking any questions. Just holding me while I cried and shook. That's how Dr. K found us about 3o minuets later.
