Back to normal

Pizza

That woman is unbelievable thought Fletch still laughing to himself as he went to the crèche.
Jac meanwhile was herself getting ready to go home. She was flushed and slightly embarrassed about how she and Fletch had behaved. She had been very aware of his hard on pressed between them.
He made her lose her mind - carrying on like that. In her office. In broad daylight but god, it was exciting
She smiled to herself. I've had a bloody personality transplant, behaving like a horny teenager.
With emotions
As she drove home she wondered what it would be like to tell him that she loved him. She was fairly sure that he wouldn't reject her.
I love you.
She had said those words to so few people in her life and it generally had not turned out well. But she needed that to not be a reason to not tell him.
Jac had always looked to her past as a predictor for the future. Never trusting that any thing good would happen to her without something going wrong and her getting hurt. I mean what was she getting into - a single father of four? How is that ever going to work? But he had turned her world upside down and she couldn't walk away now.
At exactly 7.30 Fletch was standing  outside Jac's house, pizza and wine in his hands
and a massive grin on his face
She opened the door wearing the dressing gown again. She'd had the naughty little idea when she got out of the shower 20 minutes ago. Her hair was tied up this time so not wet.
"Hi" she greeted him
"Bloody hell" he answered
Jac giggled. When did Jac Naylor ever giggle!
"Come in then. I'll get wine glasses"
They sat on the living room floor leaning against the sofa
"You didn't say what topping you wanted so I just got the same as we had that day in your office" he left that hanging there, knowing that they would both be remembering the moment they shared when Fletch was wiping pizza sauce off her face
"You don't know what it took for me to not kiss you that day. We were so close but I think I saw the fear in your eyes" he said
"I really wanted you to. Here have another go" she said purposely smearing pizza sauce at the side of her mouth smiling
He turned to her and wiped away the sauce with his finger and before he knew it Jac was licking and sucking his finger.
"Cheeky" he remarked but simply moved in and kissed her, just like he should have done all those months ago. So much had changed since then, a lot of it heartbreakingly bad but out of all the bad stuff they at least had this
