She threw him a half smile as she stirred the pasta sauce boiling away on the stove. Her LA sun bleached beach waves flow down her back, just touching the top of her bum. Even though it's middle of the summer in LA she has still got on the fluffy so...
"This is helping" she flirts with him kissing him again.
"Oh yeah?" Jay smirks as Nick nods, he kisses her again as he grabs her arms. They roll around the bed laugh as they kiss. His phone starts to ring from the side of the bed. He leans across answering it "yeah?" Nick isn't able to hear the voice on the other end, she continues to laughs softly, kissing him on the neck just as he hangs up. He has this look on his face which makes her sigh.
"You gotta go in baby?" She asks wrapping her legs around him
"Yeah sorry babe" he kisses her quickly before jumping off the bed "I'll drop you at the station?" Nick nods biting her lip "right you stop that" he points her laughing "I cannot be late, Hank will kill me and then you" They both laugh.

"Alright be safe" Nick wraps her arms around his neck. "Try not to get shot please" she kisses him before digging her hands into her back pockets.
"I'll try my best" he jests with her, kissing her one last time before running off to his squad. Like it was something they'd do forever.
On the drive home, Nick thinks back to the reasons why she came to Chicago and now her reasons to stay. Was she using Jay to get over Tom? Like he used her to get over Jade all those months ago. Or did she genuinely have feelings for Jay. These decision were so much easier to make when she was high. Never in a million years did she think she'd be living in out of LA without Tom by her side. Now she's falling for a cop.
Back at the house, Maggie comes bounding across the living room as he notices Nick entering the house. Just at the same moment her phone buzzes.
Tom Felton spotted with a mystery red head shopping on sunset
Nickreads the headline over and over, a lump gets stuck in her throat. Her heart doesn't know whether to break some more or to move on. Even though when they broke up before Tom had physically cheated, kissed another girl and it took time for Nick to forgive him. This time is completely different, she has fucked up so many more times, broke the same promises over and over. No wonder he's moved on. Maybe it's time she does as well.
"Hey mags" Finally puts her phone away and crouches down to cuddle Maggie. "Hey boo" she kisses his ear. Maggie looks around, he's been doing this a lot recently. Looking around for Willow "I know babe. I miss them too" she kisses his ears again. "Come on let's go for a run" Nick jumps up, slapping her thighs, sending Maggie nuts.
He runs around the room as Nick changes for their run together. Eventually she is ready to go, Jay had told about park near where she lived which is good runs and had lots of cameras. Laughing to herself she goes, advice from a cop always involves places with a lot of cameras. It's their way of protecting you, loving you.
Running through the park, Nick notices a huge crowd of people gathered around the path. As she gets closer Nick can see the blue lights flashing, tape and officers keeping the crowd back. Slowing down as she reaches the crowd, Nick pulls her headphones off and around her neck. Pulling on Maggie's leash shorter to stop him running off. That's when she notices Jay and Hank as she pushes towards the crowd.
"Jay" she calls out trying to get his attention "Jay" she calls out again as Hailey nudges him, scowling at Nick. He comes walking over.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" He sounds concerned. He takes her hand, pulling it along the tape and to the end, where there is the least crowd.
"I was just on a run" she looks down at Maggie who is sitting patiently at her side "what's happened?" She looks at him, worried that he is worried.
"There was a stabbing. Related to a case we are working. Don't worry about it" he pulls her in for a cuddle. "I thought maybe we could go out tonight?"
"I was hoping we could just stay in tonight? Get Chinese food? Watch bad films in bed" she laughs holding him around the waist.
"Sounds perfect" he looks down at her lovingly. "I'll pick you up after work?"
"Urm maybe we could stay at Hanks? Just I feel bad always leaving Maggie with him. I know he loves it but still" she knows this probably isn't what Jay had in mind for date night at home.
"Hmm ok but just because it you" he leans down and kisses her "right gotta go. I will come over after we've finished" he kisses her once more and mouth bye as he walks away. Nick smiles to herself.

Charlie is Shuffling is calling Accept | Decline
"Well well look who's risen from the dead" Charlie speaks first as Nick laughs, walking round the garden.
"I miss you too Charlie" they laugh
"We miss you Nickle. When are you coming home?" He asks her.
"For now I am home Charlie" she answer, knowing this isn't the answer he wants.
"Nick. He still loves you"
"No he doesn't Charlie. I broke him and he's moving on now. I have to let him do that. I still love you all and I'll come visit but for now I think it's best I stay here"
"I know you saw the headline. We support you Nickle" Charlie smiles through the phone.
"I love you guys. Miss you" she smiles back "if it's meant to be we will be together again"
"Ok boo, be safe" Charlie hangs up just as there is a knock at the door.
Nick bounds over to the door opening it with a smile on her face. It's Jay holding a bag of Chinese food.
