A little snippet more.
Part 9
Jack sat at home, the television was on but he was not watching it, he was thinking about Sue, more specifically he was thinking about the kiss they shared a mere two hours ago. The way he had felt when he held her in his arms, he had spent so long denying his true feelings that telling her had become an obstacle, but if her reaction today was anything to go by she felt the same way he did, maybe it was time to admit how he really felt. Was he being a coward if he said nothing? Was Bobby right? He sighed heavily he would never know if he didn’t take the plunge to find out would he and what better opportunity than Saturday afternoon.
Sue sat in bed still quivering from the kiss; it had been so much more intense than the one they had shared at Callaghan and Merced and she hadn’t wanted it to end. But more than that she had wanted his hands to touch her, he had rested them on her shoulders gently massaging her neck and she almost moaned from the memory of it. This couldn’t go on she had to say something, maybe when they went out on Saturday she could try and tell him how she really felt, that she loved him.
If Muffy had been at either apartment she would have twitched her nose and with joy at her plans unfolding successfully before her eyes, but she had been confident that things were as they should be and at this present moment was snoring in her burrow, in the ‘burrow in the park’.

Part 10
Jack arrived at Sue’s apartment a little before 2pm casually dressed and escorted Sue to his car.
“Where we going?” she asked
He shrugged indifferently and replied “Wait and see”
She eyed him suspiciously but he just smiled.
^^^^^
They pulled up at a farmyard which was open to the public and offered a learning experience for children along with some place to run off their energy in the extensive playground, indoor and out for all weather conditions. Jack walked round to Sue’s side of the car and held the door open for her.
“What are we doing here? It’s full of young families” she said gazing about the parking lot.
He shrugged again and replied, “I know, but I also happen to know the owner, through a case a few years back”
“Okay” she said reluctantly, so he took her hand in his and pulled her beside him. When she was walking, he didn’t let go of her hand but held onto it as though he had been holding it forever.
^^^^
They went into the farm and meandered around the families with children as they took a look at the animals, the donkeys, pony’s, sheep with their lambs, piglets, chicks, kids, kittens, and lastly the rabbits. Muffy was extremely pleased that they had paid a visit to her distant cousins in the bunny rabbit pen; they even got to hold one. After declining a ride on the back of a tractor, they paused and watched the families on the swing boat’s, trampoline’s, jungle gyms and sand pit.
Gaining Sue’s attention he gave a slight tug of her hand and said, “Come with me”.
Jack led her to private garden, which was not open to the public.
“Should we be here Jack?” she whispered, “The sign said ‘private’”
“I know, this is where I meant to bring you…the other bit with the animals…well I thought you might like to see that too…but this is why I really brought you here” he explained faltering slightly, he felt nervous but he hoped it didn’t show. It was going to be now or never.
Muffy sent up a quick prayer to heaven that Jack wouldn’t bottle out, he had come this far

Part 11
Jack turned to face Sue and said “On Wednesday when we planted all the eggs for the children…. It made me think and I got this idea” he rubbed his damp hands down his jeans while thinking that sweaty palms were not ‘cool’ and never would be.
“So what are, we doing here?” Sue asked eying the garden appreciatingly; it resembled a cottage garden to that of the typically stereotyped country gardens of England.
“A game, a bit like the Easter egg hunt” Jack explained shrugging
“You’ve thought of this by yourself?” asked Sue surprised
“I was here earlier” said replied
“So, what are the rules?”
“It’s simple, you have to find chocolate letters and when you’ve got them all they will spell something”
“How do I know where to look?”
“There are hidden here” he told her and spread his arms wide and twirled round indicating the spread of the garden.
“You’re not going to help?”
“I hid them. Where’s the fun in finding them too, I know where they are”
“Okay” Sue finally conceded
It wasn’t long before Sue had gathered seven of the eight letters and placed them on the wooden table in the corner of the walled yard.
“Need a clue?” Jack asked as he caught her eye, watching as she became frustrated at not being able to locate the final one.
“No” Sue replied defiantly with her hands on her hips.
Jack dug his heels into the grass in an attempt to refrain from moving towards her.
“What?” she asked impatiently
“Nothing”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I……well…..I wasn’t….aware that I was looking at you in any particular way” Jack stammered out
“You are and you know it” Sue responded as her cheeks flushed red from his intensive stare
Jack took two steps forward and Sue took one back, but he closed the distance within seconds.
“I was thinking…that I’ve been thinking too much and sometimes actions speak more than words,” Jack said
Which was very handy, as he was becoming tongue tied, like when he asked Rachel his first real girlfriend out. He’d been a bumbling idiot then and he hadn’t changed.
Sue looked at the man before her quizzically as a range of emotions flickered across his handsome features and wondered if he knew how much she wanted to kiss him right now.
Jack didn’t move, not even when her hand moved and drew a line down the side of his jaw. He stood mesmerized by the woman before him. Their lips were close, Jack swallowed and shut his eyes in anticipation, then suddenly he felt Sue brush her mouth lightly over his……

Thanks (Hope it's not too mushy)
Part 12
It seemed natural for their arms to fold around the other pulling closer as their lips moved together. Jack feeling Sue’s response intensified the kiss to taste her sweetness. Jack and Sue stood for many minutes in their warm embrace, foreheads resting together as their breathing returned to normal.
Sue found her voice first and said shakily “You were going to give me a clue”
Jack looked at her and replied, “Clue? Letter, chocolate” incapable of stringing a sentence together “I can’t remember”
“Oh” Sue replied and went to look at the letters she had already found “Oh Jack”
“What?” he signed as he joined her on the bench and sat astride the seat.
“They’ve melted”
He shrugged, threw his hands in the air and said, “It was a stupid idea anyway”
“No it wasn’t, thank you for bringing me here today” she replied taking his hand in hers and feeling the tingling sensations the contact brought.
“I guess I’ll have to tell you using the normal method” he told her “Sue” he began earnestly cupping both her hands in his and squeezed before deciding to sign and speak.
“Being with you…..working with you…….” Jack paused; finding words for this kind of thing had never been his strong point. “Easter signifies new life with Spring and new beginning with Jesus and………….I want to take this opportunity to maybe have a different beginning with you……..What I mean by that is….that I just want to tell you….that I” he paused again.
“Tell me what?” Sue replied smiling
Jack caressed his palm over Sue’s cheek as if to give him the courage he required and continued “I love you. I’ve loved you for a very long time, but I was scared to tell you, I don’t want to lose our wonderful friendship and then there’s work. I always told myself it was enough to have you in my life as a friend than not at all. But recently there have been a few incidents at work where I have realised that life is a fragile thing and a gift from God to be lived wisely. I have reached a point in my life where I just don’t want to be your friend anymore. Unless that is all you can give me then I would take that over nothing. I love you I want to spend the rest of my life with you as your husband and if it means that we can’t work together, then so be it”
Sue stared at Jack absorbing his words from his heart. For Jack each second that passed felt an eternity.
“Jack” Sue said as tears threatened to well “I hope that we will be friends forever but I want to live my days with you by my side as your companion, friend, soul mate, lover, but most of all as your wife. I love you so much. I’m glad you said something, I was seriously considering telling you how I felt today, even if you hadn’t got in first”
She lay her lips on his and gave Jack the lightest but most sensual kiss her had ever experienced.
Sometime later she asked him as she gazed at the melted mess on the table “Jack one question though, what did those letters spell?”
“I love you” he simply replied and he did with all of his heart.
Muffy Wigglesworth twitched her nose, then blew a kiss and it landed on the couple with an explosion of stars. Her job complete until next year, when who knows where she would be called to be.

wonderful, Rosa! too bad the chocolate melted...
Mushy, but definitely not too much so (is that possible?!) Thanks for writing this Rosa!
Too bad the letters melted, but I'm really relieved Jack took the courage to tell her finally!!! Great job!!!
Very cute idea. I loved that the letters melted. Must have been the heat generated by Jack and Sue.
i would say just the right amount of mush
Yoohoo! Muffy you can come over here for your next visit! You sound like a bunny who enjoys a challenge...and that would be me!!! Loved this Rosa, so much fun. And it makes me want to go out and buy a bunny so I can name her Muffy Wigglesworth.
