Honey

What if she likes cavemen?

Nicks POV

"John, we have to talk to her, I don't know how much longer I can hold off..." After our first kiss I knew I wanted her more than I did than the night at the pub. Now I'm home after our little office stunt. Granted we didn't do anything, but jesus did I want to. 

I really wanted to. 

John sighed as he sat across from me at the table, rubbing his hand down his stubble covered cheek. 

"I know, I'm just a little worried..." He stated, clearly feeling the same way as me. "I don't want to scare her away, telling her that we both have feelings for her is one thing, telling her we  want a relationship with her is another thing."

Yep this has been bugging me too. John is a lot more forward, normally. He's held himself back a lot, but I can see him slowly slipping. Now John ain't bad, but he's a lot more blunt than myself. 

I don't want him losing his composure and blurting out his feelings and demanding what he wants. Cara will run for the hills, I guarantee it. 

"I get where you're coming from John, I do, but the longer we keep this up the longer we'll be waiting. I know you wont be handle that, shit not even I can handle that- I cant handle it right now."

"What if she doesn't want this? What if it's too soon for her? What if she's only interested in one of us?" He asks, clearly annoyed at the thought. 

"Well those are all possibilities but we wont know until we tell her and ask her what she wants." I admit. 

He scoffs, pushing back in his chair. "I don't want to go through that, lets just tell her what's gonna happen." 

"Bloody hell John, you can't just tell her 'what's gonna happen', One she has a choice and two she's run from an abusive relationship and three, we have her child to think about it. She'll run and never come back." I say, now angry at his blatant disregard of Cara's feelings. 

"You know I didn't mean it like that Nicholas," He spits, "I would never force Cara into anything she didn't want... Look don't you want Cara here with us? Alexandra too?" He says softer.

"Of course I do John, you know I do. But we have to handle this sooner rather than later and delicately too. None of this caveman bullshit."

He snorts at the remark, he knows that's exactly what he is. "What if she likes cavemen?" He smirks. Bloody hell. 

"Well she'll love you then wont she?" I mutter rolling my eyes. 

"Damn straight." He grits out before getting up and heading to the fridge, He comes back with two beers. Placing mine to the side, I clasp my hands under my chin.

"So how are we gonna do this?" John asks, watching my fingers tick under my chin.

Cara's POV

Sitting at the table at my parents house watching Lex help my mum finish making tea, my phone rings.

Incoming call : Nick

I smile and walk into the hallway to take the call.

*******

"Hey Nick.." 

"Cara... Ben wanted me to tell you that he got you in, whatever that means.."

"Oh great! Oh it's about getting Lex into Mt. Ludas with his son? Archie?"

"Oh I see, Archie's a good kid. Why didn't you ask me? I know people there I could've helped you."

"Ben offered that's all, no other reason... Is there a problem Nick?"
