Nightly Ritual 10/10
Here we go. The end! Let me know if you enjoyed :)
Tuesday 1:14am
Rolling over, she buries her face in his chest. Just as her mind registers the tickle of chest hair on her nose, she wakes up startled. Her cheek firmly pressed against his chest, his arms tightly around her.
“Jack?”
Chuckling, his voice heavy with sleep, he grasps her hand and pulls it to his lips. Laying a gentle kiss on her fingers he sighs “This is much better than the phone”
Giggling, she presses herself closer against him. “Yes”
A few moments pass and she feels herself lulled by the rise and fall of his chest. She bursts out in a shocked laugh when she hears him mutter “Where are those Hello Kitty jammies?”
Tuesday 6:15PM
Sliding away from her keyboard, she rotated her head, and shrugged her shoulders. The ache building between her shoulder blades had her face scrunched up into a perma scowl that made everyone give her and her desk a wide berth.
Suddenly she a felt warmth at her ear. “Hey..” he whispered.
Jumping in her seat, she growled at him “Don’t do that!”
Chuckling, he slid closer and leaned against her desk crossing his arms. She couldn’t control the grin that crept across her face as he smirked and she saw the twinkle in his eye.
“So.. Chloe” He looked around and noticed that they had the attention of most of the room. “Sleep well?”
Her eyes growing wide, she hissed through here teeth “Jack!”
“What?” He looked at her innocently.
“Everyone’s looking at us” She whispered urgently.
“Oh my God… “ He gasped “Do you think they know?” his face the look of pure innocent shock.
Narrowing her eyes at him, she lowered her head and covered her mouth with her fingers as she heard him chuckle. Suddenly, his face is right in front of hers, his finger tapping her under her chin.
“Chloe.. .look at me” He whispered. Then in a firmer voice, “Look at me”
She raised her eyes and looked into his. Her face immediately softened as she saw the concern in his eyes.
“Does it bother you if people know?” He asked softly.
Her eyes going wide, “No!” She said urgently.
His face registering his relief, he leaned in closer, his face inches from hers, she felt his breath on her cheek. In a low, gravelly voice he said “You’re mine Chloe O’Brian. Every part of you is mine. And I don’t care who knows it”
Blushing fiercely, she felt a smile creep across her face as her eyes darted around the room. Taking in the curious faces of her coworkers, her face heated up more. Glancing back up to his face, she said “Okay” and smiled brightly.
His hand cupped her face, as his thumb brushed along her chin. Brushing his lips against hers, he said “I love you”.
As his lips pressed against hers, she felt her body melt into his. Ignoring the gasps of shock spreading through-out the room, she brought her hand to his neck and wound her fingers tightly into his hair.
As he pulled back, he grinned and winked at her. Standing straight up, he took his hand in hers and said to the room “If no one has any objections, I’m taking my girl to dinner now”.
