CHAPTER 5
Keira was bent over Jaks zoomer, fixing the head lamp, Torn walked in and stood behind her "Ahem" he cleared his throat
"What do you want now?" she asked
Torn waited for her to turn around, finally she looked at him "Keira, I was wondering, when we were together would you have considered giving up your job, so we could stay together?" he asked
Keira glared at him "For gods sake" she blew out an angry breath "No, I never considered it, why did you?" she asked
"No" he said sadly "Not then"
Keira folded her arms across her chest "We couldn't have been in love then, could we?" she snapped
Suddenly Torn moved towards her and grabbed her arms "Keira if you would take me back, I swear I'll leave the guard, and we can be together, I swear I will never hurt you again" he pleaded looking into her eyes
"Get off me Torn, you and I will never be together again, ever, do you understand, I don't love you and now I think about it I don't think I ever did, I don't even hate you, I just don't feel anything for you" she stamped away from him
Torn sniffed "Where are you going?" he asked
"Away from you" she yelled back
Jak ran into Haven Forest, he stopped dead, and listened, before long he heard the distant grumblings of Samos, he smiled and went in search of him.
He came across him sat under the life tree "Hey" Jak shouted as he approched
"Ah, Jak my boy...are you ready for your training?" Samos asked getting up
Jak nodded "Yes, but can I have a word first?" he asked
Samos nodded and looked into his eyes "Something wrong?" he asked
"I...I met your daughter" Jak stuttered
Samos' eyes widened "You met Keira?" he asked
Jak nodded "And thats not all..." he took a deep breath "I'm in love with Keira...I know it might be a bit of a shock and I know I've only known her a week but the way I feel when I'm with her is a feeling I've never had before, I can't describe it, it feels like I'm floating"
Samos looked into Jak's eyes "You've finally found each other then, I've been waiting for this for years" he grinned
"What...but...if you've been waiting for this why didn't you introduce us?" Jak frowned
Samos shook his head "One cannot interfere with destiny, I knew you two where destined but you had to find each other yourself"
"But...I mean...how did you know?" Jak blinked
He smiled "When I first met you I could see you were incomplete, and as Keira grew I saw she wasn't complete, but now, I see it in your eyes you are complete...but the rules in the palace, how are you going to be together?" he asked
"Well, I'd be willing to leave the KG for her, I'd do anything for her" Jak smiled
Samos frowned "And is she willing to do the same for you?"
"Yes I am daddy" came Keira's voice from the ramps as she walked up them, she smiled as she saw Jak, and walked up to him "I'm willing to never ever go back to that palace" she said wrapping her arms around Jak
Jak looked down at her, he lifted her chin and looked into her eyes "Whats happened?" he asked
"Nothing, its fine" she fibbed
Jak frowned "Keira, whats Torn done this time?" he asked
"Just Ashelin, you know what she's like, I asked for more racers again" she smiled up at him, she looked at Samos "Hey daddy, so you've met my new boyfriend" she grinned
Samos smiled "Yes I have, you are both complete"
"I better get back to work, I kinda just ran outta there" she smiled and leaned up to kiss Jak, she pulled away "Fancy meeting me at the jet board course later?" she asked
Jak smiled "Of course, a few hours?" he asked, Keira nodded and handed him a pass for the course "I'll see you there" he leaned down and kissed her "I'll miss you" he whispered.
Keira walked back into the garage, she looked around "Lee!" she shouted
"Yea..." he came out the store room"You ok, I saw Torn?" he asked wiping his hands
Keira nodded "From now on I want you to deal with Commander Torn, if he argues about it tell him to talk to Ashelin" she said picking up a spanner and going over to Jak's zoomer "And I need you and the team to start training for the races, I've booked you practice slots on the track, every night starting next week"
"What about Errol and Rex, what if their out on patrol or something?" he asked
"I'll talk to Ashelin, she won't mind...oh and from now on that door to my apartment stays locked" she said standing up and going over to her workbench
Lee frowned "Keira, whats going on, this last week, I've seen you happier than I've ever seen you, but now you seem so...so?" he trailed off
"You don't think I'm happy?" she asked
Lee smiled "Your the type of person who speaks with their eyes, whatever your feeling is shown in your eyes, I do still see happiness in them. love even...but there's something else, and Torn's been hanging around lately, is something going on with you and Torn?" he asked
Keira laughed "Come in the office..." she walked in Lee followed her, she closed the door, but left the blinds open so she could see anyone enter "I'm telling you this in strictest confidence Lee..." she took a deep breath "He told me that he would leave the KG, and we could be together, he said he wants me back" she said angrily
"Keira, you wouldn't be seriously considering taking him back would you, after what he did?" he asked shocked
Keira shook her head "No way, the thought never entered my head, you said I've been happier than you'd ever seen me this last week, theres a reason for that, I've met someone" she stopped
Lee's eyes widened "He works in the palace doesn't he?" he asked
"Yes, I won't tell you who it is because if you don't know, you can honestly say you don't know if asked...but I'm in love with him and he's in love with me, I am incredibly happy...but it has to be kept a secret for a few more months until I leave" Keira explained
He looked at her "Your leaving, why?"
"Because I want to be with this guy and I can't be while I'm here, plus I don't really want to work here anymore, I don't want to work for Ashelin, so when my contract expires I won't be renewing" she said
Lee blinked "But what will you do for work?"
"I have three years experiance as the senior palace mechanic, I won't be short of offers" she smiled, she looked through the window as someone came in "Right back to work, oh and I have to nip out shortly for a few hours" she smiled
Lee winked "Secret meeting eh?"
"Going to see my father actually" she grinned
He nodded "Course you are"
Keira walked into the stadium garage where she used to work, she looked around and instantly went over to the storage shelf, she moved a box and smiled, scratched into the wall was her name, she looked around again "Miles" she shouted
"I'm coming" he said
She smiled at his gruff, slightly out of breath voice as it came out of the office,
Miles smiled when he saw Keira "Keira, whats a top mechanic doing in a place like this?" he teased
Keira giggled "Actually I was wondering if your offer was still good?" she smiled
"The offer to make you a partner?" he frowned and shook his head, Keira's heart sank "I'm sorry Keira but this place is getting to much for this old duffer, I'm selling up, why you interrested?" he asked
Keira shrugged "I'm looking for a change, but I can't afford to buy a garage of my own, I'd love to, but I just can't do it" she sat on a stool and looked sadly around "I've missed this place"
Miles smiled and stood next to her "Keira, you are the best mechanic in the city, everyone knows that..." he thought for a minute "How about we see if we can come to some sort of arrangement, I would love to be able to leave this place in your hands, I know you'll take care of her"
Her eyes lit up "What kind of arrangement?" she asked
"Well, how about you pay me off weekly, like rent, only when you've paid the asking price I'll sign it over to you?" he said
Keira nodded "I'd love to do that, but it won't be for a few months yet, I have to work out my contract" she said
"Thats fine by me, give me time to get used to it, come on in the back and we'll sort something out" he said
Keira grinned and got up following him in to his office.
Jak walked through the doors of the jet board course, he looked around and spotted Keira flying around on the course, he stood watching her smiling, she caught sight of him and sped towards him, she jumped off the board before it even stopped moving and leaped into his arms "I've got great news" she said excitedly before kissing him
Jak pulled away laughing "Ok" he said putting her back on the floor and sitting down, Keira sat next to him and snuggled into his strong arms "What is it, have you beaten Ashelin and Torn to death, convinced the council you didn't do it and now were free to do whatever we like?" he teased
"I wish...I've just bought a garage" she beamed
Jak looked at her confussed "What, how?" he asked
"I went to see my old boss, he's been begging me to become his partner for years, and I asked him if the offer was still good, he said he was selling up because he was too old, and the place was getting too much for him" she started
Jak shook his head "Wait, your buying his garage, can you afford that?" he asked
"No, but he said I could pay him off weekly, like paying him rent, only when I've paid the asking price, he'll sign it over to me, and he's giving me a discount, plus there's an apartment above it, with a great view of the track and a lovely roof garden" she explained
Jak smiled "Wow, thats great, you finally get your dream" he grinned and kissed her
Keira smiled against his mouth "I got my dream when I met you" she said.
"That was my dream too, so are you going to tell me what was wrong earlier?" he smiled
Keira shrugged "Its nothing, really" she blushed
"Y'know one of the things I love about is how your cheeks go all hot and pink when your lying" he teased
Keira took a deep breath "Ok, but you have to promise you won't go mad?" she looked up at him, he nodded "He came to see me earlier, he said he would leave the KG for me, he said he wanted us to be together"
Jak's eyes went black, Keira stroked his face, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he opened his eyes again and looked into Keira's she smiled when they'd returned to there gorgeous self "What did you say?" he asked
"I said I didn't love him, that I never had and that I didn't feel anything for him, not even hate, he's just completely out of my feelings, I also told him he wasn't my father, he wasn't my boyfriend and he wasn't even my friend so to just back off and leave me alone, but Jak...I said his name, I promised you I wouldn't ever say his name again, and I said it, I broke my promise" her eyes started to become damp
Jak smiled "No, you said I would never hear you say his name, and I didn't hear you, so you didn't break any promise. why did you say his name anyway?" he asked
"It just slipped out when I was yelling at him, anyway I've told Lee he has to deal with him from now on, and the door up to my apartment has to stay locked" she fished in her pocket and pulled out a key, she grinned "If your a good boy, you can have this and then you can get in whenever you like" she smiled, Jak reached for it, but Keira pulled it away "Promise you'll be good" she smirked
Jak lunged at her, pushing her to the floor, he hovered above her "I'll be good, baby" he breathed before he kissed her "And so will you, very, very good" he panted as his hand started making a steady journey down her body, to the buttons on her pants.
Keira walked into the garage and looked around, Jaks zoomer was finished, she gently patted it and smiled pulling out her communicator, she punched in Jaks number in an instant his face face popped up "Yea" he said a little distracted looking around
"Jak, your zoomers ready to be picked up" she said
Jak smiled "Great, I'll be there soon" he said
"Be quick I'm closing up soon, and I ain't waiting around for you" she snapped
He raised an eye brow, "Are you giving me attitude?" he teased
"Just get here and pick it up, its in the way" she closed the comm unit and smiled, going over to her work bench and sitting down
Lee walked out of the back work shop and smiled "Hows your father then?" he asked
"Great, really, really good thanks" she looked up at the clock "You may as well get off" she said
He grinned "You sure, don't need me for anything?" he asked
"Nah, I just have to wait for Jak to pick up his zoomer and then I'm locking up" she yawned
Lee laughed and started putting his tools away "Must be tiring visiting your father" he teased
"You don't know my father, its very tiring" she laughed
He laughed again "Yea, ok, I'll see you tomorrow then" he said as Jak walked in, he nodded to him as he left, Keira got up and rushed over to the door closing and locking it, she reached for Jak and he pulled her into an embrace, drinking in her scent.
"You ok?" he asked
Keira nodded "Just missed you" she smiled
Jak laughed "I only left you twenty minutes ago"
She looked up into his eyes "I know, but it feels like a life time" she tiptoed and kissed him softly
"I know what you mean, hey sorry about before on the comm unit, Torn was right next to me" he said
Keira smiled "I figured as much, I'm surprised he let you come yourself, sorry about the attitude, I didn't want him suspecting anything"
"Its ok" he smiled "So what do want to do, I can't really stay long, I'm on night partol at HQ" he said
Keira frowned "Another one of he's ideas I take it?" she asked
Jak nodded "He's trying to keep me away from you, I'm sure of it, I could black mail him, tell him I know about him offering to quit the guard for you, threaten to tell Ashelin" he raised an eyebrow
She laughed "Don't be daft, so if we haven't got much time, we should get started" she grinned swaying away from him and jumping up on the work bench "Come on honey, lets make some noise"
"Right here?" he asked moving towards her and standing inbetween her legs she wrapped them around him
Keira smiled and nodded "Right here"
"But what if someone hears us?" he asked
She smiled and kissed him "Jak, these walls are sound proof, Ashelin didn't want the noise from the garage disturbing the rest of the palace, and the residents of the palace sector of the city"
He grinned back "Really, looks like she finally managed to get something right for once"
Keira nodded and started unfastening his shirt "Come on babe, we have to give you something to think about during your long, lonely night"
"I already have something to think about, I'm always thinking about you" he breathed as he started making light work of his clothes and then turning his attention to Keira's.
JAK : When do I get to kick the shit outta Torn?
HELEN: When I say so
JAK : But I've been dying to do that for years
HELEN : Then you won't mind waiting a bit longer will you?
KEIRA : Y'know how impatient he is, maybe I can distract him (Keira walks over to Jak and whispers in his ear, Jak grins and follows her out the room)
