Awakening to punches, he realize all was a dream, but when he saw he was in the bullpen, he though: maybe not! Looking up he saw lucy hitting him in the arm. Lucy! ow! why are you hitting me? he said monotone.
Lucy: I'm sorry Jack! but you're a really heavy sleeper, I just wanted to let you know that everyone is already out to lunch. And I was wondering what happened tomorrow, I really need to apologize to sue but I don't know how! I am not even sure what I did wrong. she sighed
Jack had been listening intently till the part about sue, then he started daydreaming. Her angel hair, so soft, fragrant,beautiful...... just like her, her eyes so lively and yet so sad... I wish I can bring life to them, to comfort her every time someone has broken her heart or simply hurt her, to be there for her always ....... and forever, by her side, to never leave, be able to see her radiant smile, shining so much more than the sun... brightening everybody's day... including mine. His train of thoughts were interrupted by lucy. So Jack! what should I do? Sounding desperate, that Jack felt guilty for fantacizing, he thought hard for a while remembering, lucy's dilemma was sue. he cleared his throat: Lucy the reason sue ran out was that, Jack Hudson is dead and it brought back awful memories! stopping unto seeing lucy gaped her mouth open. Not me luce! but he was my cousin! incredously but with a sigh of relief she let out a deep breath, then the words struck her: "He is my cousin". does sue know this? he shook his head, she doesn't even know I knew about them, tears came to his eyes. I'm sorry! his face saddened but I think it would be better if you ask sue she could better explain it to you. obviously dismissing the conversation, he went back to his desk, leaving a very puzzled and curious lucy to muse quietly.
As everything lunchbreak ended the hour of rest and concentration was done! but he wasn't ready he couldn't face her. everyone came strolling in as usual, quickly the bullpen was filled with not so eager to be doing paperwork sort of agents. Sue on the other hand was quiet till it was time to go, she was about to rise, then she was stopped by a gentle, forceful hand, seeing Jack she smiled, Hi! he smiled back, Sue! can I drive you home? it didn't come out right,but it was better than nothing. she seemed hesitant at first, soon she accepted. Along the way silence hung over, both were deep in thought, Sue noticed they weren't going to her house, she got Jack's attention, concern in her voice, almost fearful. Jack tried to assure her, Sue I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you but I thought a bit of fresh air might be nice, like a stroll in the park. Right levi! the golden barked, happy he can have exercise,sue agreed.
The 3 of them were walking quietly, levi being restless, sue threw his ball, the dog easily ran after, eagerly he soon disappeared. leaving the 2 humans to mingle, Jack faced sue, looking into her eye, she was so beautiful, The moon lit her features, no matter, light nor dark, she was so gorgeous! Sue, I....I.i..I about last night, she was waiting then interrupted, Jack I know.... You do! he was surprised. Yes, as if in resignation, I know you didn't mean what you said it was sort of reflex and you were trying to make me feel better, and it worked thank you... I know you could never like someone like me, I mean we just come from 2 too different worlds....looking away she continued, don't worry I'm fine now, there's no more problem and again thankyou very much! smiling so brightly, obviously a very stiff fake smile.
He's had enough, no! sue, I meant it, I do.. II.. I do I do love you truthfully... The first time I laid my eyes on you I fell in love I knew you were the one, but was too afraid to try, I wasn't use to rejection... But last night when you opened up, I really wanted to tell you, I needed to show you how I felt, I coudn't take seeing you so miserable anymore, seeing men ask you out so confidently, but I myself being a coward and hiding away myself trying to hide my pain..... YOU...You... y..yo..you are perfect, everything about you is perfect nothing else, you are like no other, I am always contented just to be around you, happiness in my heart comes from you, I love you... and there's no other way to put it, none...none at all. from their closeness she was tingling, and he was nervous, this needed to be just right. Their lips met and locked... a kiss like no other, his arms were around her, promising to protect, her hands laid on his chest, the feeling of static, quite unusual, a bit of grief and sadness but delightful of new experience... it lasted a minute or so, to the 2 it seemed hours... hours of pure blissful joy.
And just for emphasis he signed one more time, " I Love You!" I truly do.... gazing into his warm brown eyes the feeling of security was over her, he was there, there to protect her, there for her, the only one who truly would care, lost into his eyes, whispering in a soft voice, but loud enough for him to hear; " I love you! I love you too......"Jack, I love you!
He was happy, just for her to be there, just because he can see and feel her, just cause.... just cause she was there. Pulling her closer, embracing her, comforting and giving her what she truly deserves... Tears went down.... Tears slowly down his cheeks..... down to her soft hair..... she tried to look up but he held her tightly, hiding his face on her hair.
The couple stood there satisfied for each other's company, one with tears of joy.. while sue Mused; Lucy! thank you.... Thank you... For this. When they pulled apart. Sue with happiness and deep emotion, said; and think all this started with" Spring Cleaning" and an innocent " easter hunt" both smiled. Their eyes both twinkling, Levi who just came back seeing his 2 favorite humans, happy... seeing them standing joyfully, he simply sat down, happily wagging his tail, smiling and barking, waiting patiently for his ball to be thrown!
