The following morning Jack and Nikki both raise later than expected in the hotel room, Nikki is the first to register the time as she rolls over and is blinded by the light beaming through the crack in the curtains. She looks at the clock and groans. 11:25 am, she rolls over and looks at Jack who is still asleep next to her, there is a thumping in her head and it's driving her insane, she closes her eyes and suddenly drifts off to sleep before waking again and looking at the clock, 12:36 pm, she groans again and rolls back over to Jack who is semi-awake and is looking at her blankly.
"What time is it?" Jack mumbles tiredly.
"Half twelve" Nikki mumbles as she buries her face in the pillow once again.
"How much did we drink?" He questions as he lifts the duvet to reveal they are both naked under the covers apart from one sock on Jack's foot.
"I don't know... but whatever happened last night..." She begins and Jack shrugs his shoulders as he thinks long and hard about last night's events.
"I think we said we were getting married..." Jack says his memory still hazy.
"Bloody hell, at least we've woken up in Ireland and not Vagas" Nikki chuckles as she holds her head.
Jack rolls his eyes, "Not a bad idea" He replies.
"No, no way... if I ever get married... it'll be a proper ceremony in England" She replies and Jack just chuckles at her reaction.
Nikki soon clambers out of bed and reaches for her suitcase still completely naked and unzips it looking for a dressing gown, Jack lies there watching her before sitting up when he notices something different on her left side, "what the bloody hell have you done to yourself Nik, that's one hell of a bruise"
She slips into some underwear before looking in the mirror at the long bruise down the side of her body, "oh... I must have fallen over last night" She chuckles as she pulls her dressing gown on and looks at her phone, which is on charge.
"Looks nasty... now erm... why are our clothes wet... like the ones we wore last night" Jack says noticing them in a heap on the floor near the ensuite.
"Rain?... we didn't go for a swim did we?" Nikki questions curiously.
"But there is no swimming pool here... only a lake... and ... a water fountain..." Jack replies as the memories of falling into the water fountain come flooding back.
"We fell in the fountain didn't we," Nikki says.
Jack just nods slowly and sits up properly in the bed and watches Nikki pick up their soaked clothes and hang them over the radiator before clambering back into bed.
She lies on her side and looks at Jack, "it's been four days... and I think I'm madly in love with you" she smiles as leans over Jack and kisses him.
Jack rolls onto his side and leans on his hand and looks at her. "Good because I am too, now we're sober I will make you Mrs Hodgson one day... if you'll allow me" he smirks and kisses her.
"Of course I will" she giggles and nuzzles into his neck.
"Marry me" he whispers as she remains In the his shoulder.
Nikki looks up at him, "seriously?" She questions in shock.
"I'm being serious" he smirks and watches her as she leans forwards and kisses him again. Jack places his hands on her hips and pulls her onto him.
Jack looks up at her and smirks placing his hands on her hips. Nikki laughs and looks down at him as her dressing gown falls open slightly. "So what's the answer going to be Dr. Alexander?" Jack questions.
"Yes... Mr Hodgson..." she smiles and leans forwards and cups his cheeks and kisses him passionately. "Thomas and Clarissa are going to flip," she giggles knowing they're going extremely quick together.
"Shut up... I don't want to know about work when I'm trying to make love to you" he smirks. Nikki flushes knowing Jack prefers to say make love compared to Sex, which Nikki loves as he did love her and isn't just going to use her.
