He smiled back at her, face still flushed from the exertion of what just happened, but could do no more since the doors opened. Jack waved, slightly nervously, at the nurse at the station as they passed her and he prayed she couldn’t read minds since his was still thinking back on what just happened up on the roof. The roof. Of all the places to have your first sexual experience it was on the roof of a hospital not ten minutes into 2012.
Amazing.
He does, however, request a cot. It’s New Years Day. He wants to be with his girlfriend. The nurse sighs, and says she’ll go fetch one.
It isn’t long until Katelynn is back in bed, and Jack is tucking her in with the blanket as the nurse walks in and prepares the cot for him. He thanks the nurse before looking to Katelynn, eyes readable as ever. If not more so. “See?” he said gently as he took her hands into his. “I’ll be here in the morning. I love you. So much.” Jack says, not whispers, before he kisses her.
She kisses him back, gently, lovingly, her desire for him slightly sated for now leaving only pure, true love. As she pulls back away, she smiles at him, caressing his cheek. “I love you too..thank you for being so amazing..for being in my life…for finding me..”
“I think I was waiting for you all this time.” Jack says honestly, tilting his head to press it into her palm gently, shutting his eyes. “…you’re my other half. That’s the… only way to put this into words. I just hope that… that it isn’t too soon for me to be saying all of this but it’s true. To me.” He kisses her palm, before caressing her shoulder with his hand. “But still. Goodnight, Katelynn. Happy New Year.”
