It wasn't too long before Jo found herself lost in the movements of the dancers and the sound of the music. She'd forgotten about sitting in a tent with the snow falling around her. She forgot about the low temperature. But she didn't forget who was sitting beside her, or how her head beat quicken when she felt his fingers between hers.
Then all too soon, the ballet ended. It was then that Jo realized she was practically leaning against Zane's arm. Jo moved, trying to keep it casual.
"Well that was interesting." Zane said.
Jo looked to him. "You've never seen a ballet before?"
Zane shook his head. "Not once."
Jo laughed. "I'd have to give you credit for sitting out then."
"Thank you." Zane said. He rose from the loveseat. He held his hand out for Jo, which she took. "Well, shall we brave the weather once more?"
"I suppose there's no avoiding it, is there?" Jo asked.
Zane smirked. "Well, you could stay here tonight, but then there's only one couch and I don't know if you're in the mood to chare it."
Jo smiled.
Zane lead Jo out of the tent, back into the freezing cold. They walked back down the small path toward their cars. All the while, Jo couldn't hide her smile. But when they reached the cars, Jo didn't want to leave.
Zane walked Jo to her car. Jo remotely unlocked her car. Zane opened the door for her. Jo smiled and looked back at him.
"Thank you, for a nice evening, Zane." Jo said.
"Well, thank you for coming Jojo." Zane replied.
Jo smiled.
Suddenly Zane leaned in. His hand reached her chin as his lips met hers. Jo closed her eyes and leaned in toward Zane's body. Her hands fell against chest. The kiss was short, but enough for them both.
They parted slowly, but kept their distance close. Jo opened her eyes, looking at Zane. Zane tucked a strand of Jo's head behind her ear.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to do that." Zane said.
"Actually, I probably do." Jo answered.
Zane smiled lightly. "I should let you head back to town."
Jo nodded slowly." Yeah."
Zane opened the door completely for Jo. She slid into her car. Zane closed her door once she was inside. Jo turned on her engine but rolled down her window. Zane leaned on the roof of her car.
"By the way, for a felon, you clean up really well." Jo said.
Zane chuckled. "Well for hardcore hard ass security chief, you can look pretty damn sexy when you want."
Jo smiled. "Bye Zane."
"Bye Jo." Zane said. He pushed off her car and stepped away.
Jo pulled off the shoulder and back onto the road. As she drove away, Jo couldn't help but keep looking back into her rearview mirror. Her heart swelled in her chest as did the smile on her face.
okay, so what did you think? just a little thing inspired by Jo's interest in ballet and teh fact that she should be with zane in season 4.
