Back to normal

It's you Jac

"Wow" Fletch said entering the bedroom to see Jac smoothing the skirt down of a tight black dress
"Can you zip me up babe" she said sweeping her hair to one side "and put this on" She handed him a silver locket
"You're killing me. Naylor. If you want to actually get out tonight don't ask me to do anything else that involves me being this close to your bra clasp and your bare back. He kissed her back as he zipped her up
"Mmm. We'll come back to this later when the zip comes down"
"Oh my god. Do we really have to go" he said
"Come on we'll get through it together"
"You look beautiful by the way Naylor"
"Well" she said straightening his tie "you don't look so bad yourself Fletcher. You rock a waistcoat"
He grinned "your outfit is missing something though Jac"
"Really, What?" She said looking at herself in the mirror
He picked up the navy velvet box from the bedside table
"You need to wear this"
He took her left hand and carefully placed the ring on her finger
"Now we're ready to go" he said kissing her knuckles
"God I don't even recognise myself" she laughed "but I love it"
Maggie was babysitting all five kids and as they got into the waiting cab she called
"Don't rush back. I can stay all night if you need me"
"Well we might take her up on that offer at a later date" Fletch said suggestively imagining a nice hotel and Jac to himself for a whole night and waking up with out anybody calling for mum or dad
They managed to slip into Albies without fanfare
"Hey it's the happy couple" said Sacha loudly when he spotted them
"God why did I let you talk me into this Fletcher, it's so embarrassing" she whispered
"We just need to get you nice and drunk"
"That is an excellent idea"
An hour later Jac was much more relaxed. Talking to friends and colleagues, holding court like a queen. Fletch was talking to other people but kept glancing over to his  fiancé.
He noticed Abigail coming in
Jesus what was she doing here, did she have an actual death wish. She got a drink and he expected her to make her way over to him but she headed for Jac's  table. Judging by the way she weaved her way over she was already drunk
"For fuck sake" Jac said under her breath
"Hi Jac" Said Abigail "nice dress"
"Oh thanks"
The evening carried on without incident and Fletch began to breathe a sigh of relief
Gradually people began to drift away
Jac was more drunk than she intended and Abigail bloody Tate was still sitting there next to her. Jac couldn't hold her tongue any longer
"He's not interested you  know"
"Sorry?"
"Oh come on you've been hanging around Fletch like a bad smell for weeks making weak excuses to be on the ward"
"Erm"
"It's so obvious you still care for him, fancy him. Just back off"
Abigail burst out laughing
"It's not Fletch that I'm hanging around for, have feelings for. It's you Jac"
