The dream team

"Oh god. Urgh"
Fletch was waking up, he didn't realise that Jac was there until she spoke
"Water and paracetamol?" She offered
"Jac" he croaked turning over "aw my head"
"What do remember?"
He cringed  "pretty much everything. Sorry"
She sat on the bed and gave him the water and paracetamol
"I'm sorry. I should have reassured you. You have to believe me Fletch I would never leave you. I don't ever want to be without you, I love you. I thought you knew that"
"I do" he looked sheepish "but you can imagine what I thought when Joseph turned up after all you'd told me about him and then you went off without so much as a glance in my direction"
"Can we agree that we have both been breathtakingly stupid today?"
"We can" he smiled "but it's only me with a hangover. Did you undress me and put me into bed?"
"Guilty as charged. Are you up to a hug Fletch?"
He grinned and held out his arms . Jac shuffled closer and held him close
"Urgh you smell like a brewery"
"Sorry. Hey where's Emma?"
"Next door with your lot having tea at Maggie's. She offered when we bumped into her and Mac in the street"
"So there's no one in apart from us?"
"No"
"Come and shower with me Jac" he asked gently. Not in his usual  cheeky way.
"Ok"
Silently they undressed and stepped into the steaming water. Jac gently washed his hair and carefully washed his chest, unable to stop herself from following the running water with kisses.
He eventually wrapped his arms round her and brought his lips down to hers
"I never want to live through another day like today" he murmured against her neck
"Me neither"
"Mmm I could stay here all day"
"I was thinking of moving to the bedroom" Jac said suggestively
"Ms Naylor" he feigned shock
They moved  to the bedroom where they set about proving to each other that they were still together and nobody would ever come between them.
"Well we've both skived off today" Jac commented
"How will they have coped without the dream team"
"The dream team?" She sniggered "who calls us that?"
"Oh only me babe"
"Idiot" she punched his arm
"You love it"
"I do" she conceded
"I don't irritate you?"
She laughed "is that your intention? I mean obviously you irritate me but it's endearing. It makes me happy"
He tightened his hold on her "I love you so much Jac"
"I know" she said purposely not responding in the same way
He began tickling her into submission
"Ok ok I love you too. Stop"
