*general POV*
"But it's not home, Chicago is" Erin continues a confused and excited look fade away the worried expression "you're coming back?" He says and Erin nods "I'm coming home" Erin says and Jay jumps up from his seat almost like a little kid when their favorite cartoon comes on tv. They both smile and Jay embraces her pulling her body close to his and hugging her tight. Erin rest her chin on his shoulder and they both get a feeling that's all too familiar. They both back up and clear their throat trying their best to ignore what they both just felt. "I'm heading out tomorrow morning, Hanks expecting me back Tuesday do you need any help while I'm still here?"Jay asks "I could use some help packing" she says and smiles and they both head to the car.
*Erins POV*
It wasn't an easy decision, but Chicago is home and it's where Hank and Jay and my best friends are I don't know what Jays thinking or feeling or anything but I don't know how long I'll be able to deny that feeling once I'm seeing him everyday. I'm gonna have to find a way to push through it because who knows if Jay is even open to a relationship and I definitely have to focus on getting myself home to Chicago and back in the swing of things. When we got back to my apartment we began packing, it was hard to focus seeing Jay in that shirt with the sleeve rolled up just enough to show his veins running up his arm to his muscles, especially the few times he accidentally brushed his hand against my leg but I managed to. When it got late we said goodbye and he headed to his hotel while I continued to pack. I asked him to keep it a secret that I was coming back I wanted to surprise everyone and Jay agreed to which I was thankful for.
