Hey guys. Sorry for the delay. I've been doing exams:( This story is slow to get going but please keep up with it:) I really need your opinion so please review!


Jack was meeting a mate from university that afternoon for a catchup. He got to Sam's about 1:30 to find that his girlfriend wasn't their, which was weird as they were always together! Sam and Claire had been together for nearly 4 years now. They got together whilst they were all at university together. Claire was studying veterinary whilst Jack and Sam were studying forensics. Sam now works for the police and often calls Jack to look at evidence.

He answered the door in a flash. He had an excited glint in his eye Jack noted.
"Eventually, Jack! How long does it take?" Sam said as he invited him in.
"Woah. Sorry man, Nikki kept me behind!"
"Did she now..."
"Come off it! It was about a case." Jack exclaimed.
"Ok then. Come on!"
"Alright! Why you so eager to get out of the house... Should I be worried? You haven't killed Claire have you... I'm not cutting her up!" Jack laughed as he followed Sam to the car.
"where is she anyway?" he added as an afterthought.
"Alicia took her shopping! You remember her? Hung around with Claire a lot at uni. Tall, brown hair, she works for the RSPCA now."
"Hmmm, I think so. She still as hot?"
"Hotter!... I should set you two up!"
Jack just glared at him.
"You will do it once I tell you the news."
"What news?" Jack enquired scrambling after him.
They'd just pulled into the car park of their favourite pizza place. Sam locked the car and began to walk away with Jack at his heels.
"Ssaaamm" Jack whined.
They'd just got sat down when Sam gave in.
"I'm going to ask Claire to marry me"
"Aw congratulations mate. I'm so pleased for you"
"Thanks mate. So naturally you'll be best man?"
"Oh. Wow. Yeh. Sure."
"Good. Now will you let me set you up with Alicia?"..."grooms orders!"
"Ugh. Fine then!"

The pizzas they had were the best. Jack swears they get better every time. When both had finished talking football and reminiscing about university, they left to wander around town as Sam needed to pick up the ring from the jewellers.
Sam left Jack browsing whilst he went off to collect the ring with the sales man.
"Is there anything I can help you with sir?" enquired the sales girl.
"No thanks I'm just looking."
She smiled and started to walk away.
Something shiny and pink caught Jacks eye and he immediately thought about Nikki.
"Actually, can I look at this please?" he called back to the sales girl.
"Of course... Here you are."
The sales girl handed him a dainty Pandora charm bracelet containing pink and cream glass beads. By this time Sam had finished checking the ring and came over to see what Jack was looking at.
"Bit expensive for Alicia ain't it?.. You haven't even met her yet." he pointed out.
"It's for Nikki! I haven't got her a Christmas present yet. What do you think?"
"Its gorgeous, I'm sure your girlfriend would love it." chipped in the sales girl.
"Not my girlfriend. My work colleague." stated Jack sounding exasperated at the thought.
"Even so. She'd love it mate. If you don't get it, I might for Claire."
"Brilliant idea! Send a pic to her and ask her! She's met Nikki!" Jack said.
"Ugh fine!"

*Beep beep.*
"Aha. Here we go... She says get it otherwise she'll buy it. And she also adds..and I quote-are you sure you're not going out with her?*disbelieving face*"
"Ugh tell her; haha!" said Jack rolling his eyes at the thought of him and Nikki.
He turned to the sales girl, "you know what I'll buy it!" he stated.


Hope you liked it. Please review!:)
