The End or Just the Beginning?
A/N: I have a good few ideas for my story but it's just finding the time to get writing it.
Once again a big thank you to the people who have reviewed my story so far.
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Red Eye or its characters. Don't forget to review; I want to know what you guys think.
Chapter Three
It had been exactly over an hour since Lisa had returned home; Jackson knew this because he had been looking at his watch every five minutes since Lisa had disappeared into her house. As he sat there in his car he could not help but be reminded of the eight weeks he had watched her just like this before the flight.
Before everything got screwed up.
He thought bitterly, suddenly finding the smooth jazz playing from his car stereo very annoying. Turning it off he leaned back in his car seat letting out a long sigh, running his fingers through his long brown hair.
Of course Jackson knew the truth; the job had been screwed up long before the flight and even before he met the lovely Lisa face to face. At some point (when exactly Jackson had no idea.) within those eight weeks of watching her, he had started to develop feelings for her.
At first he put it down to just a purely physical attraction; he couldn't deny that Lisa was a very beautiful woman. But Jackson had met and had been with many beautiful women in his time. Not that he was boasting of course it was just a fact that he knew had to charm the ladies, when he wanted to of course.
There was just something about Lisa that attracted him to her. To Jackson (He knew for a fact that his feisty Lisa would never agree.) they had things in common; they were both highly professional in their work. (Well he was when the job didn't involve Lisa.)
They both shut out the rest of the world; Jackson did because he just liked it better like that and he couldn't risk anyone finding out what he did for a living. Lisa on the other hand... well Jackson (at the time) had no idea why someone like Lisa would shun the world maybe he would get to find out on the flight.
When he finally got to meet her in person she was even lovelier; he could remember thinking at the time that his photos of her did not do her justice.
The next thing he knew he had offered to save her a sit at the Tex Mex, which he knew his shy little Lisa, would refuse but he still hoped she would say yes.
He knew he shouldn't have; he was being incredibly stupid but it would make the job easier if she thought he was Mr nice guy. Well that's what he kept telling himself anyway.
As Jackson continued to watch her house his hand reached up to his throat his fingers gently rubbing at the small red mark that was now on his once smooth skin.
It had taken well over two months for Jackson to fully recover from all of the injuries that Lisa and her dear old dad had inflicted upon him. Only now was his voice finally back to normal.
Also it seemed Jackson didn't give himself enough credit; he was sure that after his screw up with the job he would be left to rot in jail or his bosses would give him a permanent retirement.
When he had woken up in one of his company's hospitals; he was greeted by one of his work colleagues Peter Carr sitting on a nearby chair smiling when he noticed that Jackson was awake. Jackson very briefly thought if he was there to kill him.
Instead Peter had informed Jackson (very smugly; will at least to him) that he had been out for two days but would make a full recovery and that his mess had been cleaned up.
Panic hit Jackson hard; had they done something to Lisa? Trying not to sound desperate for Peter's answer; Jackson asked what exactly he meant wincing slightly and sounding like he had a frog in his throat.
A part of him was hoping Lisa was fine but another part was yelling at him telling him that he shouldn't care what happened to the lying bitch.
Apparently his bosses had hated the plan from the got go and had only gone ahead with it due to their very eager clients; and weren't surprised it had failed miserably.
So the clients had been taken care of; how Jackson didn't care to ask and the civilians involved (Lisa and her father) were to be left alone; they weren't seen as a problem so they was no need to get rid of them.
Jackson could remember the great relief he felt at hearing nothing was to happen to Lisa; but at the time had convinced himself it was only because he wanted Lisa all to himself to get his revenge.
As for Jackson Peter told him not to worry that with his outstanding record at the company he was off the hook so to speak; and after he recovered he was to take some well needing time off.
During his recovery Jackson's fierce anger at Lisa for basically beating the shit out of him and landing him in hospital slowly but surely turned to pride. After all she was the first target to ever fight back never mind win!
How was she? Was she still hiding herself away? Still daddies little girl and did she think about him as much as he did her or not at all?
He had been asking himself those questions over and over; kept seeing her face and if he thought really hard he could even still smell her perfume. His mind was made up he had to see her; once he was discharged he was going to find her.
Hope you're ready to see an old friend Leese.
So here he was outside her house in the middle of the night like a love sick puppy or obsessed stalker; however you wanted to look at it.
He thought back to when Lisa had first stepped out of her hotel just hours before and Jackson was happy to see her; with her black form fitting skirt and her light pink blouse she looked as good as ever; if not better.
She seemed much more confident with herself and the smile on her lovely face was genuine.
He had hoped that seeing her again would help; but it wasn't enough he wanted to talk with her, touch her.
Put it simple Jackson just wanted Lisa and he was going to have her one way or another; after all he did say he might have to steal her and Jackson may have been many things but he wasn't a liar.
"Right that's enough for tonight I think." A smirk on his handsome face as he spoke to himself. Starting up his car he gave one final look to Lisa's house the smirk never leaving his face.
"Don't worry Leese I'll be back real soon."
And with that drove on down the street knowing let Lisa would soon be his.
A/N: So that's chapter three!! Told you there was more Jackson. Sorry if it's too long and don't worry Jackson and Lisa will meet soon just wanted to get their back stories done first.
God this was a bitch to finish; been very busy so keep with me.
