SWS: Valentines Day!

[hates_cliches]

[Jack was on the top floor of his house. The telescope was positioned and the night was beautiful. Along the landing, one of the bedrooms had been cleaned and there were candles and flowers around it - as well as comdoms in the bedside cabinet.

He wanted to make the night the best she would remember. He simply hoped it was enough.]

[Cuddy hurried as she left the warmth of her car and walked up to Jack's front door. The night was clear and cold and she shivered, pulling her coat closer around her as she knocked.]

Jack's first V Day in 20 years btw

[He almost broke his leg jumping down the last flight of stairs because of his good mood. He ran his fingers through his hair before opening the door with a big grin.]

Lisa! Come in, please.

poor guy

[hbic_cuddy]

Hey. [Her face lit up with a smile as he opened the door. She stepped inside, enjoying the warmth.] It's cold out tonight, but at least it's not snowing. As much snow as we got a few days ago, I was afraid I'd be snowed in all weekend.

yup, lisa saved his life in more ways than one!

[hates_cliches]

[Closes the door behind her and takes her coat.]

I would have beamed you out. Or me in just to see you today.

[hbic_cuddy]

Like 'beam me up, Scotty'? You can actually do that? [She turns to look at him in disbelief. She believes him--it's just she still has a hard time believing all the alien/outer space stuff] That is so cool.

[hates_cliches]

I would suggest we try it now, but I have plans for tonight.

[Evil grin] Shall we?

[hbic_cuddy]

[She's excited by the possibility of 'beaming.' It really does sound cool. She could wait...although she's slightly disconcerted by the evil grin on his face. She trusted him but she did wonder what other surprises he was going to throw at her]

Um.... Okay.

[hates_cliches]

[He gave her a small kiss and guestured her towards the stairs.]

[hbic_cuddy]

[She took his hand and headed up the stairs] You going to let me in on your plans for tonight or are you going to make me wait?

[hates_cliches]

They involve the top floor of my house. The rest you will see as the night progresses.

[hbic_cuddy]

Really? But I thought the top floor was still off-limits. [She had a slightly concerned look because he'd been pretty definite about the top floor being something he wanted to keep secret]

[hates_cliches]

That's because it wasn't finished yet. [He stopped on the first landing.] I'm sorry was nasty about it, I just didn't want you to see until it was done.

[hbic_cuddy]

You weren't nasty, just...very stern. [She's extremely intrigued. She was always curious about what he had on the top floor but now that she was going to find out, her curiosity was heightened]

It doesn't matter now.

[hates_cliches]

[He smiled again] Then what are standing here for?

[And he bounded up the stairs.]

[hbic_cuddy]

I don't know--why are we standing here?

[She was caught off guard when he quickly took off up the stairs. It wasn't as easy for her to move fast--not in high heels and with legs much shorter than his--but she did her best to keep up. Her cheeks were flushed by the time they reached the top.]

I should've worn my running shoes. [she laughed]

[hates_cliches]

[He laughed] Maybe next time.

[He took her over to the door at the end of the hall and it took them outside. Set up was his telescope and it was pointing at Mars.]

Have a look. Mars. It's beautiful tonight....Just like you.
