Connie shivered and zipped up her jacket as she sat around the campfire, "remind me who's bright idea this stupid camping trip was again?" she said.
"Hansen's" Zoe groaned as she pulled her blanket tighter around her and Max.
Connie laughed bitertly, "course, he's used to this kind of thing anyway and the stupid cold weather. Not that it affects him anymore, sat at work in his nice warm office. What I wouldn't do to be doing my paperwork in my office right now" she said.
Jacob came from his tent and sat down next to her with a blanket, "need a cuddle?" he asked.
Connie rolled her eyes as they other staff tried not to snigger, "no" she replied flatly.
"You're loss sweetcheeks" he smirked.
A few minutes had passed and Connie was not getting any warmer. She let out a sigh, then bit her lip as she quickly moved herself into Jacob's lap.
"Change your mind?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, wrapping the blanket around them both and his arms around her waist.
She nodded and snuggled into him, "it's cold, so we are just going to have to make the best of this" she told him.
"When you say make the best..." Jacob said.
"Sit here Jacob. With clothes" she stated.
"Cock blocked" Cal laughed.
Connie looked at him, "still no where near as cock blocked as you've been" she said.
Jacob laughed and continued to hold Connie on his knee as Cal went quiet again.
She smiled and pulled her knees up to her chest, both of them proving warmth for each other.
Everyone was engaging in conversation but it was getting late and the feeling of Jacob's arms around her was making her sleepy so soon she drifted off.
"I think I'll head to bed" Rita said as she got up.
"I'll carry Connie" Jacob said then he stood up holding her in his arms, as she snuggled into him instinctively.
He smiled and carried her to the tent she was sharing with Rita then he opened it and carefully placed he down, although she managed to cling to his t-shirt with her hand.
"Stay" she mumbled, pulling her duvet over herself since she had refused to go anywhere near a sleeping bag.
There was more than enough room for him to stay in the tent too but he was unsure how Rita would feel about it.
"Would you mind?" he asked.
"Not at all" she said then bit her lip smirking, "does that mean Iain's alone in his tent?" she added.
"Err yeah" Jacob chuckled.
"Have a nice night" Rita said quickly then she jumped out of the tent and sprinted off towards Iain's.
Jacob chuckled and laid himself down properly next to Connie who snuggled up to him, pulling the duvet around them both with more blankets
"Thank you" she whispered.
"It was a pleasure sweetcheeks" he replied before placing a soft kiss to her forehead.
