So Long I've Waited (First Come first Served)

Eric turned and saw Jane sitting on the curb. He moved to join her. "Hey...sorry...about that. And about all of this. Are you okay?"

[TheDyingDay]

"I...can't believe you guys would actually ruin things." She muttered, "I know about Raoul's case. I was trying to help him change." Jane said as she got up, "You know you may have saved me from near rape but you do know that Jean has stalked Raoul to get information about him right?" Jane asked with an amused smile.

[cashewmanz]

"I...I didn't approve of Jean's actions, and they did surprise me, to be honest. But...he did it because he wanted to get you away from Raoul. To keep you safe. I don't care how the information was obtained, I used it to get you away from that maniac. And you may have thought you were helping him but I saw him follow us around. He tricked you, Jane. I'm sorry."

Jane sighed, "Well, now that I know....I still want to thank my hero..." she glanced at Eric and smiled, "Would a dinner at a secret place suffice?"

[cashewmanz]

"A secret place? I think I can get behind an idea like that," Eric smiled as he looked into her eyes.

Jane smiled, "Brilliant, come with me at my house tonight, I'll lead you there." she whispered with a quick kiss to Eric's cheek.

Eric had been grinning the rest of the afternoon, and showed up to Jane's house in a sweater and a sport coat ready for the evening. He knocked on the door and waited.
