You sister took the cue to take the girls to the tiny game area the pizza joint had as Jensen and you made your way to the back patio.
The couple of minutes of silence felt like an eternity before Jensen decided to say something.
He took your hand in his as his fingers laced with yours and you felt that spark between you. "I've missed you so much y/n. I'm sorry for not reaching out to you lately. I've just been trying to figure things out and I…I'm just an idiot."
"You're not an idiot. You're just a man who's going through a lot. I get it. I've been there. Just promise me you aren't going to run away from everyone like I did…I just got here."
A light laugh escaped his lips as he looked at you. There was something different in his eyes. You could still see the hurt of what he was going through, but when he really looked at you…was it admiration, was it love?
With his free hand he traced his fingers down your arm from your elbow to your wrist to then lace those fingers with yours on your other hand before pulling you in closer to him. You felt your skin on fire at his touch and calm as he held you close.
"Would you go on a date with me y/n?"
You couldn't believe you were actually hearing this. You were so caught up in the disbelief of the moment that you almost didn't notice the look of fear and worry cross his face snapping you back to reality as you felt his grip on you start to loosen.
You crashed your lips to his and he wasted no time in reciprocating. The kiss felt like nothing you had ever experienced before. You both were so lost in the kiss you almost didn't notice the flash of a bulb. Jensen instinctively put his back towards where the light had come from shielding you as you made your way back inside.
"Well…looks that cat is out of the bag before it even got in it." You said as you made your way back inside. Then realized that you were going to have some explaining to do to Brock…
"Shit!"
Jensen looked at you completely confused.
"It's not you. It's not the kiss…I just…I've been dating Brock for the past month. Not that we've ever said we were exclusive, but you've always stayed a big threat to him and-"
He placed his hands on your arms, "It's ok y/n. If you don't want to go on a date with me because you're seeing Brock, I get I-"
You shut him up by kissing him again.
"Ok…I'm not sure what kind of answer that was, but I liked it."
"I want to date you. I've always felt something between us since that first day we met in the grocery store. I watched in pain as you and Daneel tried to work things out, and this past month has been the one of the longest months of my life not having you in it…I don't want to do that again….I can't do that again."
"So that means…"
"Yes, I want to go on a date with you."
"But what about Brock?"
"Are you saying I would have to be exclusive with you right off the bat?" You wouldn't have entirely minded it, but you didn't want to start the relationship with an ultimatum either. If guys could date more than one woman at a time, why couldn't you?
"Well…no… I mean I don't really want anyone else with you, but I'm not going to dictate you either…I was asking what you were going to do about him, because in a matter of hours, that photo is going to be all over the internet…"
"Oh…"
