Nicole thanked Kristen once more and left the candy behind for Lily, just in case. She took Jace's arm after she gathered up the other food contents of the MRE she dumped and put them back into the bag. After making their way back to the Captain's quarters, she set the open MRE bag on the bed and sat on the edge to take her boots off.
Hearing the door close and looking to see Jace leaning against the door, he spoke about how he had been a 'good boy' which forced her to roll her eyes. "Well, good. That's good. How's the hand?" she asked flatly, remembering what Kristen said. "I take it you didn't find him either? The body or the person?"
Why are you sounding like a bitch? Stop. Just stop...
With a heavy sigh, Nicole paused. She was glad he was back and that he was safe. She couldn't hide her disappointment about his hand or the fact they returned empty handed but he was here. What was more was he was here with her. "I'm glad you're safe," she whispered truthfully. Half laughing as she spoke again, her words were a whisper. "Oh, and I am glad about you being a 'good boy' too, I guess. Want a reward or something for it?"
Positioning her hands on the bottom of her shirt, she removed it exposing her chest and the Rosary he gave her to him again. Balling the shirt up she threw it at him before she picked up one of the packets that had a fruit punch mix. Grabbing a bottle of water she added the mix to the bottle and began to shake it turning the water in hopefully a decent fruit punch. She brought the bottle up to her lips and took a small sip before she decided it was good enough to drink. Downing half of the contents in one go, she pulled the bottle away and offered it to Jace.
"Want some? It's not half bad," she said and cocked her head to the side as she looked at him with a soft gaze. A small smile grew as some of her hair fell across her face. The longer she looked at him, the more she felt this strange pull. He was handsome, strong, kind and she wasn't used to this. Especially now given the state of things. But here they were.
Enjoy this. Enjoy him. Don't fuck this for yourself. Be good to him.
She needed to mental pep talk to make her appreciate this small moment. At the end of the day, that was all they had. Small moments that they needed to hold on to. Motioning with her head, she beckoned him to her.
