I stormed into her office. I need answers now. Without a second thought I burst through her office door without knocking.
"Jac, I can't do this anymore we need to talk about ..."
Oh shit. He stopped in his tracks noticing he walked in on her changing out of her theatre scrubs.
"Fletch get out !" Yelling at him standing in only her underwear. I was frozen staring at her half naked form. She was so beautiful.
I turned around quickly, realising I was staring for a moment too long.
"Look I'm sorry but I need to talk to you."
I just stayed with my back to her waiting for a reply.
"Fine just don't turn around until I'm done." She huffed pulling her top over her head.
"Okay, I'm done. What do you want Fletch?"
I debated in my mind what I was going to say next but it just fell out without a second thought.
"You." Turning to face her. "You are what I want."
Her jaw almost dropped to the floor. She looked like a frightened puppy who was about to run for the hills, instead she just sat on her sofa and looked towards the floor.
"Why? I'm no good for you. I get on just fine being by myself."
I walked over and knelt down in front of her placing a finger under her chin making her look at me.
"You don't need to be alone. Jac, I want to be there for you."
Our eyes locked momentarily until Jac stood and walked out leaving me sat on the floor, heartbroken.
Why does she run. I sat there contemplating what to do next. My gut instinct was to just let her be and give her space. Today didn't seem to be a logical day for me. I told her after all this time, so much time wasted. We'd been dancing around each other for too long. Something has to happen now, whether it be good or bad. I need to know.
Running towards the stairs I looked out the window, I could see her just leaving main reception to her car. I sprinted down the stairs reaching the exit just in time to catch her as she opened her car door.
"No more running Jac. Please."
I could see she has been crying, her eyes red and puffy.
"Why do you keep chasing me, I'm no good for you. You're kind, caring, funny and the perfect guy. You could pick anyone. Why me?" I took both of her hands in mine.
"That's simple. You are the reason I smile every morning. Just for the small moments I get to spend with you. You make me a better person."
She's smiling. That's the reason I want her.
"Look Jac, you are the most beautiful woman to ever give me a second glance and I love being the reason for that smile." I reached up to stroke her cheek with my thumb.
"Just give me a chance."
I waited for her to push me away.
It felt like and eternity before I heard her speak.
"Okay." She said as such a quiet whisper I was unsure if I heard her correctly. Next thing I knew her lips were on mine. So gentle and soft I could have been dreaming. She pulled away and looked up at me, gauging my reaction.
"So, fancy coming out on a date with me tonight Miss Naylor?"
Winking in his cheeky Fletcher way.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world Mr Fletcher."
Right new story, not a clue where I am going with it but thought I'd just go with the flow. Honestly not the greatest start but it's something to work on.
Will try and update as much as possible.
