They arrived at the hall where the award function was being held an hour later. Cal helped Connie walk in with Jacob trailing behind them, clearly irritated by his presence.

They sat by the table, with Val next to her and Jacob opposite her. Occasionally, he keep looking at her and she did the same when he wasn't looking.

Half an hour into the event, Cals phone rang. He had to leave as there was an emergency at the ED and they were short staffed much to Jacob's happiness.

"Looks like it's me and you now." He said as he smiled at her. He extended his hand to touch hers and said, " I am sorry Connie."

'Sorry'

This sorry felt different. She looked at him straight in his eye and saw that he was genuinely sorry! His eyes conveyed the truth!

"And nurse of the year goes to Jacob Masters."

That bought them out of their trance. Jacob stood up and straighten his suit and walked towards the stage. He gladly accepted his trophy, gave a small speech and went back to sit down.

"Congratulations." Connie simply said and he just smiled at her. "Would you like a drink?" He asked and Connie nodded in approval. They walked over to the bar and ordered a drink.

After a few hours, the ceremony had ended. Connie drove Jacob to his house as he didn't have his car. As he was about to get out, he stopped and then looked at her. He got closer to see, Connie hoping he would kiss her but he placed his lips neat his ears and whispered, " I am truly sorry Connie. I love you."

He left the car, opened his front door and walked in. Connie sat in her car not knowing how to react. Yes she loved him as well! He has hurt her! Betrayed her! Broke her Heart! Played with her feelings but she couldst stop loving him. She had done since the time she met him.

The door rang and opened the door. She latched her lips onto hers and started kissing him fiercely! He responded with equal passion. He closed the door and led Connie upstairs to his room before stripping each other of their clothes.

He placed her on his bed gently and began massaging her breast causing her to moan. "Are you sure you want this?" He asked.

She looked at him in his eyes and replied saying, "I want you Jacob...more than ever."

He entered her causing her to moan his name. "Arghh..Jacob..."

He started thrusting in and out increasing his sped as she continued to moan his name
