Run

Chapter 8

The night went on and Jac had been asleep for the majority of it, Kian had been up feeding the baby whilst Jac got some sleep, he was surprised that she didn't even wake once. As the sun rose a glimmer of it shone through the gap in the curtain causing Jac's eyes to flutter open, she frowned slightly and looked around before smiling at Kian asleep next to her, she turned around and looked at him in the eyes and that seemed to wake him through either a coincidence or some sixth sense he had. Kian simply smiled at her and then reached out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his and rested her hand on his cheek as she worked to deepen the kiss. She frowned as she felt Kian's hands run up her t-shirt she flinched slightly before trying to force herself onto him more but Kian noticed and there was no way that Jac was ready for this so Kian pulled away gently and shook his head.

"What?" she demands, Kian just sighs at her comment "What!"

"Jac, you're going to hate me for saying this-"

"Then don't" she mutters climbing out of bed, she storms out of the room and he sighs jumping out of bed and following her as she goes into Ebony's room, she shuts the door and then sits at the foot of it to stop him from getting in

"Come on Jac..." Kian tries but he knew it would take a lot more than that "I just want to understand-"

"You will never understand, Kian," she says quietly and Kian frowns slightly "I just want to be the way I was-"

"And with time, you'll get there" Kian assures her but doesn't hear a response "And when you get there everything will fall into place then we can think about us if that's what you want-"

"I don't know what I want"

"You see, that there suggests to me that you arent ready," he says quietly and Jac finally gets up and opens the door, he smiles slightly at the sheer force of her throwing her arms around his body "It's ok not to be ready and I don't expect anything from you Jac..."

"I'm sorry"

"Don't apologise," Kian says quietly and Jac nods "Anyway I've done something you might thank me for"

"Really?"

"I've been speaking with Sacha, over texts and he's been in contact with Jonny"

"Ugh, rather him than me" she grimaces at the thought causing a slight laugh from Kian "Continue..."

"Well he's explained the situation and Jonny is more than happy for Emma to see you now he understands everything but it's up to you there's no pressure if you don't think you're ready"

"I'm not sure" she starts and Kian nods "Can I think about it?"

"Of course, you never know it might do you some good," he says and she leans up to kiss him softly on the lips "What was that for?"

"I don't know...a thank you?"

"We can call it that if you want" Kian reasons causing a smirk from Jac, she gingerly wraps her arms around his body and he kisses her on the head "Why don't you get Ebony her bottle then we can work out what we're going to do today-"

"You're not working?"

"Well I'm meant to be but I don't have to if you don't want me to?"

"No you can work, I'll look after Ebony" she confirms and Kian was taken aback by her comment, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea but he knew he would have to trust her eventually "You don't trust me?"

"It's not that, I just want to make sure you're ready" he confirms and she narrows her eyes "Honestly Jac, I think it's great you want to look after her-"
