2006 3 years after Jenny's appearance on University Challenge.
24 year old Red head Jennifer Ryan sat comfortably on the plush sofa in the Master mind Green room as she glanced round the room at her fellow contestants.
Jenny took a sip of her water, watching people walking around talking, when a rather tall and handsome guy sat down beside her and Jenny glanced to her left and politely smiled at the guy who smiled back.
" excuse You're not Jenny Ryan are you?" Jenny frowned " Yes I am, sorry but do I know you?" Jenny asked as she looked deep into his green eyes and something felt familiar about this guy but she didn't know why.
" I'm Cameron...Cameron Ross, we competed against each other on university challenge 3 years ago" Cameron watched intently as Jenny finally realised who he was.
" Oh my goodness Cameron! How are you? Has it really been 3 years?" Jenny asked and Cameron nodded " it has indeed. It's good to see you again and here of all places. Actually scrap that I should have known you'd be here. I mean your one of the best quizzers I've come across and it's a pleasure to compete against you once again" Cameron smiled and Jenny chuckled.
" God I remember that laugh and it's great to hear it again" Cameron flirted and Jenny blushed again like she did 3 years ago.
They both sat in comfortable silence until Cameron spoke " I take it you're a contestant?" Cameron asked and Jenny nodded " Yes I am. Are you?" Cameron nodded cheerfully " So what is you're specialist subject then Jenny?" Cameron gave a pearly white smile.
Jenny felt her glasses slip so she pushed her glasses further up on her nose "My specialist is Buffy the vampire slayer tv show, you know the tv show in the US?" Cameron nodded " oh interesting....I should have known a pretty girl like you would choose the best show on earth so, yes I do know that show" Cameron beamed at Jenny who blushed.
Jenny cleared her throat " So Cameron what is your specialist subject?" Cameron chuckled " I don't think you'll be surprised by this but it's Football" Jenny chuckled " I am surprised. I thought you'd go for something else other than football" Jenny said shifting in her seat.
" Ten minutes until we go live everyone so please could you make your way towards the stage" the producer announced.
" So this is it....well it's been nice talking to you but I'm sorry I'm going to win once again and I will enjoy whipping your ass again Ross " Jenny grinned.
" Oh is that a fact Miss Ryan, we'll see about that" Cameron winked.
Cameron held out his hand for Jenny to shake, Jenny gently placed her hand in Cameron's but Cameron had another idea. He gently brought Jenny's hand towards his lips and gently placed a soft kiss on them and then let go.
Jenny walked on stage and took the first seat to the right and then Cameron took the seat next to her.
First up was Jenny who did extremely well on her general knowledge questions and started strong and steady.
Next up was Cameron. Jenny confidently walked back to her seat where calmly sat back down in her previous seat next to Cameron and she whispered
"Beat that" Jenny smirked and Cameron raised his eyebrow and confidently walked over to the empty chair that Jenny just vacated a second earlier.
Cameron didn't score so well in his general knowledge and he walked glumly back to his chair next to Jenny who had a beaming smile on her face.
Once everyone had done their general knowledge questions it was time for their specialist subject and once again Jenny was up first.
Jenny confidently walked over to her seat and sat down. Jenny had done very well and had now finished and walked back over and smiled at Cameron and so Cameron was up next.
Jenny had just won Mastermind and she was absolutely blown away. Cameron took a respectable Second place but he didn't mind loosing to Jenny. Jenny was too shocked that she didn't know who were coming up to her and started hugging and congratulating her but she hugged them back and barely mouthed a thank you. Cameron stood back and watched as Jenny took her moment to shine and Cameron couldn't help but smile seeing how happy she was and it was at this moment that Cameron knew he wanted to make her his.
Once the show had ended and people started to leave, it was then that Cameron made his move and walked over to Jenny " Congratulations Miss Ryan" Cameron smiled.
Jenny smiled back " Thank you Mr Ross....I'm sorry I've beaten you Twice but I guess I'm just better huh?" Jenny smirked.
Cameron chuckled " I guess you are I mean you have officially whipped my ass live on two shows now" Cameron chuckled, Jenny looked down at her feet then back up at Cameron who was watching her closely " Can I take the out for a celebratory drink?" Cameron asked hoping Jenny would say yes and to his surprise she nodded " Okay...Yeah" Cameron smiled " Great" Cameron suddenly felt rather nervous.
Jenny could sense Cameron was nervous so she spoke " Okay well I'm just going to get my stuff and then we can go for a drink?" Cameron nodded.
Once Jenny had gotten all her things together, they headed to the pub together and sat down in a empty booth. Jenny sat down and placed her things beside her when Cameron said " I'll get the drinks" Jenny replied " Thank you, a small white wine please" Cameron nodded and made his way to the bar.
A few minutes later Cameron walked over holding a pint of beer for him and white wine for Jenny and placed them down on the table " Thank you" Jenny said politely as she gently placed her and round the glass and took a sip.
Cameron reached out for his beer and lifted it up " Cheers to your big win " he said and Jenny lifted her glass up and tapped hers gently against his " Cheers, thank you" Jenny smiled and brought the glass to her lips and took a sip.
They sat together in a comfortable silence.
Cameron was the first person to break the silence " I hope this isn't too forward but I'd like to take you out on a date so you face me because you want to and not as rivals" Jenny smiled at Cameron " I'd like that" Cameron's heart was beating so fast " Are you free tomorrow night say around 7pm ?" He prayed.
" Yes I am, yes that sounds great. How about my place I will cook something?" Jenny beamed.
" Great" Cameron beamed.
After they had gotten past all the awkwardness they actually got to enjoy each other's company and got to know each other properly and they learnt that they had a lot in common and also mutual friends in common in the quizzing community.
11:30 Jenny started feeling her eyes getting heavy and soon started yawning.
" I guess we better all it a night" Cameron said stifling a yawn.
They both finished their drinks and left the pub where they waited outside for a taxi.
" I had a really nice time tonight and I'm looking forward to tomorrow" Jenny said cheerfully.
" me too" Cameron couldn't believe his shy he was acting around Jenny.
Jenny's taxi arrived " Well this is me. Wait I haven't given you me number" Jenny suddenly realised and Cameron quickly whipped out his phone and added Jenny to his contacts and Jenny ddI the same in her phone.
" Well I'll message you about tomorrow" Cameron said moving closer to Jenny and the next thing he knew Jenny had tip toed upwards and kissed him hard on the lips and naturally he kissed her back.
