Chapter 4
Sue was still asleep, Jack had just woken up, watching her as she slept, Jack fell in love with her again, Levi was still sleeping on the bed with them, Jack went for a shower, when returned Sue was still sleeping, Jack smiled and thought -Thank goodness she was a morning person- gave her a kiss on the forehead and then went down to the kitchen.
"Good morning Mrs. Thomas .."
"Good morning to you too .. You can call me Clara, Jack..I told you yesterday, Mrs. Thomas makes me feel..old"
Jack smiled "I'm sorry.. I just have to get used.."
Clara smiled "Don't worry.. You love her don't you?"
Jack coughed and Sue's mom smiled "Last night I went to Sue's room and noticed that she wasn't there so I thought she was in the room with you.."
Jack gulped "Clara..I really really love her.."
"She said that the general problem were the rules at work.."
"Yeah..part of the problem were and still are the rules, we weren't sure if the other felt the same thing, not to ruin our friendship..and then our exes.."
"So what about the rules at work? What you too going to do?"
"I-I don't know.. I think that when we return to Washington I will talk to Garrett, our superior and see what we can do..If there is nothing to do, and one of us could transfer, I thought that I will move or leave the job.."
"You would left your job for her?!" Clara said surprised
"I will leave my job for her, for us, I think I could die for her.."
Clara smiled with tears in her eyes
Jack looked at Clara "Are-are you okay?"
"Yes..I'm sorry.. is just what you said.."
Jack made a half-smile "I'm serious.."
"I know that's why I still crying…" giggling "Do you… you want to..?"
"Morning everyone.." said Sue smiling
"Hi honey.. slept well?"
Sue smiled at Jack and blushed "Very well, mom.."
"I love you sweetie.." said Jack only with the labial
Sue blushed and signed "I love you too"
"Hi buddy.." said Jack stroking Levi "You need a walk?!" Levi barked
"Okay..so me and the wonder dog go for a walk.."
"You want company?"
"Don't worry, you eat your breakfast, Levi and I will take a walk and a male chat.." winking at her
Sue laughed "Fine..I will be here to wait you.."
Jack kissed her softly despite her mother was in the kitchen with them.
"There are two rooms available upstairs, I could have a heart attack to see you.." laughing
"Mom!" Sue blushing
"What?! I'm serious?"
Jack laughed "Okay.. I'll be back.."
"You'd better come back soon, honey" signing and smiling
Sue sighed and smiled - I love him so much –
"Morning Sue.." said Grace
"Good morning Mrs Hudson.. do you want some coffee?"
"Call me Grace, Sue..and yes, thank you" – "So, where is Jack?"
"Uhm..Jack is doing a walk with Levi.." felt nervous talking alone with Jack's mother
"Jack told me so many things about you.. talks and talks about you constantly, telling me what you do, he told me he is going to a ASL' course.."
"Really?!" Sue was surprised, he had never told her.
"You seem surprised.." giggling
"Well..that's why I AM surprised…he never told me that he was going to a ASL' course.."
"Maybe because he wanted to improve .. for you, for you two..for your relationship.. I remember when he was a teenager had difficulty learning a new language, when he told me he was learning a new language, for you, not to make you feel like a fish out of water, when I asked him why he was doing that ASL' course he told me - I'm doing it because I completely lost my mind, for my co-worker, Sue, I am completely and hopelessly in love with her, mom, she makes me want to be a better man, perfect for her, a man who deserves to go out with her, with a woman like her, you ought to know her, she's so beautiful, funny, she understands me, even better than myself, as if she read me inside- I never said that to him, but when I finished the call, I cried, because I realized that I had made a huge mistake when I told Allie that he had the heart attack.. you two would be engaged or married at this time.."
Sue cried "I had not the slightest idea that he was doing all of this, only to be a better..man for me, he's perfect for me.. why he can't understand?!"
"Because he's stubborn as a mule that is his father.." laughing in the midst of tears
Sue laughed "Don't feel.. responsible for our relationship, as I told Jack last night, these 4 years have been fantastic, because we have learned to know us better, we became best friends, Jack knows the things I have not even told to Lucy, and she lives with me.." smiling
"You love him..don't you?!"
"Love him is a euphemism, I think- I think I would give my life for him, he is everything to me.."
"Do you think he's.." she stopped when Jack walked into the kitchen
"Morning mom.."
"Morning Jackie.." winking at Sue
"Mom..!"
"You're right, not in front of your girlfriend.." going in the living room
Sue laughed and Jack smiled
"How was the walk?"
"Good.. Levi and I talked a lot.."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I discovered many things about you, he told me a couple of things.."
"What kind of things?"
"I discovered how beautiful you are, you're with a hot man who loves you madly.."
"Traitor.. I told you that had to be a secret between you and me.."
"What part?"
"The part of how I'm beautiful..of course..what do you think?" drinking her coffee and holding a laugh
"Fine,you won this round Thomas.. you wanna go out?"
"Sure, where do we go?
"Mall? I've got to find the perfect gift for a special woman"
"Who would be this woman?"
"Can there be another special woman for me?" kissing her gently
"I already had the perfect gift this Christmas.." blushing
Jack smiled "Yes I too have had my perfect gift this Christmas and I think will be enough for the next 60 years.. But besides my unconditional, eternal love for which not turn it back, what would you like for Christmas?"
"Surprise me.." continuing to think about what Jack had said, then he thought for a long term relationship or not?
"Fine..Shall we go?"
"Sure..come here Levi.."
Sue went into the living room and said they were going to the mall and probably would have been out to lunch
In the car
Sue leaned her head on Jack's shoulder "I love you Jack, you know it, right?"
"Of course I do know my love, I love you too tiny"
Sue blushed, he used all those nicknames of lovers, she and Jack in love and were a couple "This is a perfect Christmas.." she thought of having only thought "I thought out loud, right?"
Jack smiled "Yes.. for me too this is the perfect Christmas.. as the New Year will be perfect, I hope.."
"Why the perfect New Year?"
"Because.. You'll find out at New Year.."
"Come on, give me a clue.." kissing his neck
"Good trying, Thomas, but it doesn't work.." laughing
"So .. I guess we will have to divide.." said Sue looking at Levi then at Jack
"I think so.. I'll see you here ... an hour?"
"Perfect..and don't try to follow me, I have Levi and I told him to let me know if he feel your presence.."
Jack laughed "Alright.. See you here..in an hour" kissing her sweetly
"Ok Levi, let's go looking for the perfect gift for Jack.."
Jack went straight to a jewelry store, already knowing what he wanted to take for..
