I do not own Jak and Daxter.
Man this chapter is taking a long time, the rain sure is dampening my inspiration.
JAK : Maybe its all them pain killers?
HELEN : Maybe you need to shut your mouth
JAK :I'm only trying to help
HELEN : If you want to help give me some ideas
JAK :How about I kick the shit outta Torn and then get some loving off Keira?
HELEN : Thats the only idea you ever have
CHAPTER 8
Later that night Keira sat crossed legged on Tess' bed in her room above the Ottsel, she was looking through her old photograph album while Tess stood on her dressing table looking in the mirror fliddling with her hair, she sighed causing Keira to look up "Its no good, no matter what I do, I still look like an ottsel" she said glumly
"Maybe thats because you are an ottsel" Keira giggled
Tess jumped off the table and on to the bed "Yea, no thanks to Jak" she said flopping down
"Yea he told me, he still feels incredibly guilty you know" Keira said and smiled "And you really are the cutest ottsel I've ever seen"
She rolled her eyes "How many have you seen?"
"Just you and Dax" she confessed
Tess laughed "I know its not really Jaks fault, after all it was Daxter that pulled me in and Daxter that opened his mouth at the wrong time"
Keira smiled and looked back at the album, she came to a photo of Jak, Daxter and Tess, she giggled and held it up "Look how young you all look"
"I know, that was when we first joined the guard, look how angry Jak looks" she said pointing at him
Keira frowned "I know, he sure looks miserable in most of the pictures you have of him"
"Not anymore though, you fixed him, he's changed, he's happy and thats all thanks to you" Tess beamed
She shrugged "I don't know about that, maybe we just found each other at the right time, I was ready to be healed and so was he"
Tess nodded "I've known Jak for three years now, and I've never seen him so happy, his eyes have a different light in them, like he feels lighter, no more heavyness around his heart"
"Like daddy says its fate" Keira smiled
Tess smiled "You know when you and Torn broke up, I said to Dax that we should introduce you and Jak, but he was always too busy, he's worked hard, he's the best warrior they've got and both Ashelin and Torn know it, and Torn hates it"
"He's really gonna hate it when he finds out about Jak and I" Keira grinned "But I don't care, the whole world could hate it for all I care, all that I need to know is that Jak and I love it, and each other"
Tess looked at her closely "You are sure about this aren't you, Keira?"
" Of course I'm sure, I know its been quick but I can't imagine my life with anyone else, I can even see our children, are home, even our croco-dog" she smiled
Tess smiled "Good I was just checking, he loves you more than anything in this world, he would die for you, I just don't want to see either of you get hurt"
"I would die for Jak, and I would never hurt him" Keira smiled
Jak sat at the bar in the Naughty Ottsel, Daxter jumped up and handed him bottle of beer "You know Keira's upstairs with Tess?" he asked
Jak nodded swollowing his beer "Yea I know, she said she was coming, its so weird how she and Tess are best friends and you and I are best friends, and yet we've only just met each other" he chuckled shaking his head
"Y'know Tess did have an idea of introducing you two, when Keira and Torn broke up, but you were always too busy" Daxter laughed
Jak laughed "Well it looks as though all we needed was a bit of fate, just a push in the right direction...I never thought someone as wonderful and perfect as Keira would actually love me back, I mean look at me I'm a monster, I'm so unworthy of her love" he shook his head
"Jak, you are not a monster, you use them powers to defeat evil, you really think the Precursors would help you if they thought you was a monster?" Daxter said
He nodded "I know, but I just don't deserve her, she's so amazing, she fits me so perfectly, her body fits against mine, her hands fit in mine, like she was made to fit me"
"Maybe she was made to fit you, everyone says there's someone out there for everyone, that the other half of their soul is waiting for them, most people aren't lucky enough to find them, but you are, you've found it" Daxter grinned
Jak frowned "How do you know?"
"I've known you my enitre life, I know you, I see it in your eyes, she's lifted the darkness" he smiled
Jak smiled "She certainly has"
"And I bet the sex is amazing, I mean have you seen the body work on her, wow...a..."
Jak interruptered "Daxter I am not discussing my sex life with you" he growled
Back upstairs Tess was just about ready, Keira still sat on the bed "Tess, do you know Jak's ex girlfriends?" she asked
"Of course, there's been Tara, and Emma and Keeley...she's the one who dumped him for Jinx" she answered
Keira frowned "What where they like?" she asked
"Emma and Tara where ok, but Keeley well, she wasn't really Jak's type, too loud" she said "He was never serious about them, they were just a bit of fun, I know Tara kinda fell for him but as soon as he saw it he broke up with her, he didn't want to lead her on when he didn't feel the same about her"Tess said
Keira frowned "I hate that I've been with Torn, I really wish I met Jak sooner"
"I think he thinks the same" Tess smiled and posed in front of Keira "How do I look?" she asked
Keira giggled "The cutest ottsel I've ever seen"
"Shall we go meet the boys?" she smiled leaving the room
Keira walked into the bar and sat next to Jak "Hey there sexy" she whispered
"Hey pretty girl" he whispered back
She looked around various people dotted around, not anyone she really knew, she looked over to an empty booth "Shall we get a booth while we can?" she asked looking at Tess
"Yea, Dax will bring us some drinks over, come on Jak" she said sweetly
Jak followed and sat next to Keira "Isn't this a bit, y'know?" Jak asked
"Why?" Tess asked "Its friday night, Keira's having a drink with her best friend, who just so happens to be the girlfriend of your best friend, it would seem stranger if you were sat at the bar alone while we sat here" she smiled
Jak nodded as Daxter jumped up with a bottle of wine and two glasses, he placed them on the table and looked at Tess "Tara has phoned in sick again, I swear she thinks I'm stupid, she calls in sick and then goes out partying in Kras"
"So your gonna have to work the bar?" Tess frowned
Daxter nodded "Yup, don't worry Tessie-poo, I'll manage" he winked at her and jumped back down
Tess poured a glass of wine for herself and Keira "I better not have too much, just in case I'm needed" she sighed
"All the more for me" Keira giggled taking a sip of her wine "So is this Tara on of your ex's?" she asked looking at Jak
Jak nodded "Unfourtunatly yes, she is so not my type, I don't know why I even got involved with her"
"As much as I would like to forget our past relationships, unfortunatly we can't, and its better to get it all out now" she smiled at him
He smiled back "I know your right" he reached under the table and took her hand.
Tess looked over to the doors as a large group of people entered "I better go help Dax" she jumped off the seat and rushed over to the bar.
Jak sighed "I really want to kiss you" he said
"I know, and I really want you to kiss me, but you'll have to wait" she smiled
He started stroking her thigh sending shivers through her body "You know we could sneak upstairs, I'm sure Dax and Tess wouldn't mind" he grinned
Keira thought for a minute "What a good idea, we better get up there before Torn and Ashelin turn up"
Jak grinned and dragged her to the door behind the bar, Tess saw them go and nodded to Keira before they went through the door.
Jak and Keira lay fully clothed on the bed, just content to be together "I love how were so comfortable with each other" Keira said
"I know, it feels like I've known you forever, I could stay like this with you always, the whole world could crumble around this room and I wouldn't care as long as I'm with you" he smiled down at her
She leaned up and kissed him "Tell me what your dark and light are like?" she asked
"Well Dark is like a demon, always after blood, I only let him out if I have to, he's so unpredictable" he shook his head "Its took me a long time to realise that I wasn't him, that just because he's in me it doesn't mean I'm like him" he sighed
Keira smiled "What about your light side?" she asked
Jak smiled "He's pure, more of an angel" he chuckled "Sometimes I can hear them arguing in my head, that kinda pisses me off sometimes, its like having two children bickering at each other all the time"
She laughed "Ah...you have twins in your head, do you tell them off and punish them?" she teased
Jak gently dug his fingers into her side tickling her "Yea I do, and I'll do the same with you if you don't behave"
Keira giggled "Oh yea" she sat up leaning on her elbow "Whats my punishment?"
Jak laughed and pushed her back, tickling her harder, she laughed and squirmed
"Stop it Jak...I can't breath...Jak stop it, please" she laughed and begged at the same time
Jak laughed and carried on "Promise you'll be good first"
"Okay, okay...I promise I'll be good, please stop" she laughed
Jak grinned and stopped tickling her "Yes you will baby, very, very good" he leaned down to kiss her passionatly.
Jak and Keira walked into Keira's apartment, she turned around and smiled at him "I don't suppose you can stay a while?" she asked
"I've got an hour or so" he grinned sitting down on the couch.
Keira smiled and went to lock the door, she returned to Jak and sat on his lap, he wrapped his arms around her "I hate this" he said sadly
"Me too, I'm starting to think maybe I should just quit now" She sighed
Jak looked at her "I could quit" he said
She shook her head "No, I've already got the garage to go to"
"Yes, but we could go to Spargus, we could live there, away from all this crap?" he answered
She looked down at him and smiled "If we went to Spargus where would I work?" she asked
"The fort garage, I've told Sig your the best mechanic, plus you can work with real cars" he smiled
She stroked his face "Maybe, but I agreed to buy Miles garage, I can't let him down"
"Your so loyal, just another thing I love about you" he smiled pulling her closer
She kissed him "Loyal to you, only you" she whispered into his mouth he smiled and kissed her back.
HELEN : Keira?
KEIRA : Yea?
HELEN : What is it that you do that makes Jak whimper like a wounded puppy?
JAK : Hey, I don't whimper like a puppy
KEIRA : (Giggles) Yes you do when I do that thing to you
JAK : (Grins) Well I like it
Keira grins walks over to Jak sits on his knee and starts kissing him
HELEN : (Rolls eyes) I wish I'd never said anything now
