UPSTEAD ONE SHOT(S)

You Sure?

Gist: After the kiss in 8x3. I've written what I thought may have happened between the end of the kiss, and Hailey's apartment.

"He's not wrong though is he? You gain something, you give something up" Hailey said in a questioning tone. "Maybe...but not always" Jay replied hesitantly, emotions making it hard to form words. Hailey didn't say anything to that, instead, she looked her partner up and down; deciding wether to be honest about her feelings towards him or not. "Ugh, it's been a long time since I saw you as just my partner. Ugh" Hailey admitted, wiping away an escaped tear. Jay felt the same, though he wasn't good when it came to words and how he felt. Taking a risk, Jay swooped his arm around Hailey and pulled her up into a kiss.

Hailey froze for a second, her brain frozen a little with the shock of Jay's lips on hers. But, when her brain finally caught up, she too flung her arm around Jay's next and kissed him back. The music that was playing in the background amongst the chatter, went silent. It was just them two in the moment. Their lips explored each others, as fireworks continued to explode between them. Neither of them wanted to back off, in fear of that being the extent of their thing, yet they both were in great need for oxygen.
Hailey took the leap, pulling her lips begrudgingly away from Jay's.
No words were said, they just looked deeply into each others eyes and a smile tugged at both their lips. It finally happened after years of dodging the subject. "You wanna get outta here?" Jay asked, scanning Hailey's face for even a minor hint of regret. "Yeh" She nodded. With that, they both headed out the bar and to Jay's truck.

The car ride was fairly silent, the nervous and exited tension between them so thick, that you could it with a knife. Hailey took quick glances at Jay, as he drove to her place with such focus. And, when she wasn't looking at him, Jay stole a few glances across to her. This was a huge step for them both, a scary one aswell. Ofcourse they wanted to do it, they'd wanted it for years, but they were scared of ruining the amazing thing that they already had going on. Pulling into Hailey's apartment car park, Jay stopped the car and looked across to Hailey. "Your sure you wanna do this?" Jay asked, double checking Hailey didn't feel under pressure. "Yeh" Hailey smiled, wanting to take the next step so badly. "Okay" Jay smirked, both of them jumping out the truck.

Entering Hailey's apartment, both their lips immediately met each others again and with passion and need. Their coats were the first things to come off, landing on floor next to them. As they made their way to Hailey's bedroom, Jay picked Hailey up like she was a feather; making her giggle like a teenager. Jay dropped Hailey back down on the floor, once he kicked the bedroom door shut behind them. They were in Hailey's bedroom, both about to be at their most vulnerablist, yet neither were self-conscious because they were with each other. "You're beautiful" Jay panted, laying Hailey down in the middle of her bed- both of them now only in underwear. "You're not so bad yourself, Halstead" Hailey beamed, blushing at Jay's complement. With that, their lips both crashed together again- and that was them for the rest of the evening.

Giddy, in-love, yet passionate with each other.
