FALLING INTO YOU
Chapter Seven
Clothes and jewelry were scattered across the
floor in the morning when Rose woke up. She looked over at Jack, who was
putting on his clothes, and was trying not to disturb her. Rose kissed Jack's
neck, and ruffled his shaggy blonde hair.
"Going so soon? It's not even light
outside," Rose said in between kisses.
"I gotta go to work, sweetie," Jack
said, kissing Rose.
"Can't you miss a day?" Rose asked
him.
"I'm afraid not," Jack said.
"It's my case that you're working on.
I'll back you up," Rose said, and pulled Jack back into bed with her.
"You're so beautiful," Jack said,
rubbing her cheeks.
Rose smiled, and took off Jack's jacket. Then
she undid his tie, and said, "Then prove it to me." Jack helped Rose
take off his shirt.
Then, suddenly, there was a knock on the
door.
"Oh, shit," Jack said.
Rose put on her robe and covered Jack up with
the sheets, putting all the clothes under the sheets. Rose then answered the
door, to see Jessica and Rachel there.
"Rose, I have some bad news,"
Jessica said.
"What? What is it?" Rose asked.
"New York just called, and said that we
only have a week left," Rachel said.
Jack heard every word, and was heartbroken.
"What?" Rose asked, as her heart
sank.
"I'm sorry, Rose, but they want us back
there sooner," Jessica said.
Rose almost had tears in her eyes.
"Rose, are you going to be okay?"
Rachel asked.
"Yes, just let me have some time by
myself," Rose said, and she closed the door.
Jack came up from under the sheets, and went
over to where Rose was. Rose started to cry as she held Jack.
"It's all right, Rose. It's all
right," Jack said, petting her hair.
Rose looked up at Jack and kissed him.
"It's all right now," Jack said,
but he knew that everything wasn't going to be all right.
Jack was heartbroken, and he knew that Rose
was heartbroken. He knew that right here at this moment, he had to be brave for
Rose, and get Hockley behind bars.
