He'd wait and wait and be ok with it. He'd have to. No he would. That was the least he could do. Nodding his head slowly, Jack found himself smiling weakly. He was enough? Really? That... was a nice feeling. "Thanks....just... thanks.." he murmured quietly burying his face into her shoulder. "I... don't know ... how to start or where to but... there's time..." he sighed slowly releasing her and sitting back quietly. A thought suddenly hit him, and briefly color came and went from Jack's cheeks. He'd...do that before ..... [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

"It'll be all right..."Vicki murmured, sighing as she felt Jack release her. Part of her wanted to ask if she was enough but...somehow the other part knew... As Jack sat back, Vicki shifted slightly and leaned back, resting her head on his shoulder as she did so. She knew that she should probably get dressed and get ready for the day but...this was nice and...she didn't particularly want to get up right then.[/scrolly]

His side ached surprisingly, but he ignored it and simply wrapped his arms around her. "So.... ya want to...keep traveling around up here with me or...want to go home soon?" he asked quietly despite the other thoughts that were on his mind and were more weighted than the ones he had just said.

Hearing his question, Vicki hummed and snuggled against him,"Mmmm...well, don't we don't have one more day...? Unless you wanted to to go back to the lab and help me pack that is..."she murmured, looking up at Jack with a coy, mischievous smile on her features,"Didn't you say you wanted me to live with you...either way we're together..."[/scrolly]

This sudden unnerved thought was quickly replaced as Jack understood shortly after what she meant. Smirking a little, he shut both eyes and deflated on the bed for a moment, carefully throwing his arms outwards just missing the food. "Right..." he chuckled a little. "Gonna have to go around and pick the house..." he grinned opening one eye. "I have over a dozen..." [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

"Seriously...?"Vicki laughed even as Jack threw his arms out,"Any of them somewhere warm...?"she continued before sighing and slowly sitting up. Brushing her hair out of her face, Vicki expected to feel the familiar patch of fabric over her eye. Not feeling it, Vicki froze and half laughed before looking around for her eye patch. "I wonder how long it's been off..."Vicki murmured under her breath before looking at Jack and smirking,"Why didn't you tell me my eye patch was missing?"she laughed before shaking her head,"I must look horrible..."[/scrolly]

"Yeah... I have a few down south... some on the beach even..." he smirked thinking of how much money he had blown off just to have more stuff than everyone else. All of his houses were furnished with nothing less than rich furniture and decore, though most weren't designed by him. He'd left that to the people that were good with that sort of thing. The all but unrelated question caused Jack to blink, and he found himself staring at both her eyes briefly before leaning up and kissing between them briefly. "No way.." was all he mumbled back before suddenly leaning up more and making to flip her on her back with himself then on her. His side protested heavily as muscles rippled over muscles, but Jack ignored it. "Ya look perfect." [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

Seeing Jack move, Vicki assumed he was going to help her but instead felt a kiss between her eyes and blinked. Before she could ask what that was for Victoria felt herself being pushed back onto the bed and ended up staring into Jack's eyes, surprised at the action. His words however removed the surprised/confused expression on her face only to be replaced with a soft smile. "...only you would say that..."

[/size]Vicki whispered before falling silent, gazing into those purple eyes that still never ceased to amaze her.[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

Breaking it after a moment, he chuckled quietly. "I......" he cut off, a different thought coming back again. Leaning a little more, he set his lips up next to her ear. "Don't let anyone tell you different..." he stated quietly before sliding a little and kissing the top of her ear. FOr now at least, the tray of breakfast food was able to stay on the bed, though Jack's movements seemed to be slowly causing it to slide. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

Closing her eyes as she felt his lips against hers, Vicki returned the kiss easily before Jack broke it off. Smiling at his soft laugh, Victoria blinked almost lazily as he began to speak only to lean against her a little more. His weight was making it a little difficult to breath but Vicki took little notice of it. The quiet statement followed by the kiss was enough to steal her breath away and once again Vicki found herself wondering how she was so lucky when her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden CRASH as the breakfast tray fell. Flinching at the sound, Vicki closed her eyes and breathed in, trying to still her suddenly rapidly beating heart...[/scrolly]

If he had been a cat or one of the various feline pokemon, the purple haired man would have been on the ceiling. Rather than sound like an actual crash, it had sounded like gunshots, and he suddenly found his heart racing. Looking over towards where the tray was dumped in disarray here and there, Jack breathed in quietly and exhaled shaking his head. That had been a bit too much... Slowly rolling off Victoria, he settled for just laying beside her. "There went breakfast I guess..." he mumbled a little. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

Turning so that she was curled up beside Jack, Vicki rested her head on his shoulder and sighed before kissing him gently on the cheek. "...I wasn't very hungry anyway..."she murmured quietly before kissing him again.[/scrolly]

Breaking the kiss easily he smirked for a moment. "No ... but you seem hungry for something else..." he teased before kissing her again. Derp... He could once again feel his body tensing up, and it was all Jack could do just to lay there and not do any more. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

Hearing Jack speak, a mischievous glint appeared in her eye at the comment but before she had a chance to speak he was kissing her again. Closing her eyes, Vicki leaned into him a little more before breaking off the kiss and smiling at him. "You know...I should probably get up..."Vicki sighed, making no effort to move just yet,"But...I don't want to..."[/scrolly]

"C'mon we're being lazy..." Jack sighed shifting up and stretching both arms. "Need to get up and do stuff..." he sighed a little before shifting off the bed. Feet hit the floor just before Jack stood up fully. Looking sideways at her, he flashed a grin. "Get dressed and we'll go look at some houses..." he grinned a little.

Stretching her own arms, Vicki looked up at Jack as he stood up smiled, somehow the thought of looking at houses with Jack was exciting...if a little bit daunting. Pulling the covers aside, Vicki was about to stand up when she caught sight of the missing eye patch and picked it up. Vicki was about to put it back on when she thought back about what Jack had said and decided against it. Walking over to her bag, Vicki put the eye patch in a side pocket before pulling out her clothes from the day before. Glancing at Jack for a moment, Vicki turned and headed towards the bathroom. Moments later she had changed and tossed her pajamas into her bag unceremoniously before pulling out her hairbrush. "So where are we headed next?"Vicki asked,turning to Jack as she ran the hairbrush through her hair.[/scrolly]

Setting them on the dresser instead, he looked back briefly before rearranging things on the tray much the way it had been. At the question, he looked back to find Victoria there. Smirking a little, he half laughed. "Well, I got some places down south since ya don't like the cold oo much," he said flashing a grin. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

Tossing the brush in her bag, Vicki closed it and leaned against the dresser,"What gave you that impression~?"she teased, laughing as she spoke. Brushing some hair out of her face, Vicki half expected to feel the patch of fabric that usually covered her blind eye. It was...odd not wearing the eye patch... "This'll take some getting used to..."
