Summary: "His touch makes her shutdown. Period. "
His touch makes her shutdown. Period.
It’s either intentional or unintentional, but in this case it doesn’t really matter. It could be a simple, "Lemon would you please be useful and pass me that folder that is near you" finger brushing type or a more (though it's totally not) intimate hand lingering on the small of her back while passing through a door type.
Either way it doesn’t really matter. It makes her pulse quicken and breath hitch when his body makes any contact with hers. She doesn’t know why she responds the way she does, all she knows is that she has got to stop before he notices something.
"Lemon..."
"Has he noticed..." she muses to herself. She begins to bob her foot and tap her chin not knowing that Jack is looking at her curiously.
"Lemon? Earth to Lemon..."
"Nah...I don’t think so, I mean its not like I've been daydreaming or anything"
"Lemon" Jack says gently shaking her shoulder. Her head whips quickly at his hand then glances at him with a deer in the headlights look. There he goes with the contact again. Does he realize what he does to her?
"Yea, sorry. I was just thinking about a sketch idea that Jenna had in mind"
"Should you really contemplate it?"
"Your right" she says, "what was I thinking"
"Maybe you weren’t
Liz scrunches up her face. "I hate you"
"You don’t mean that"
"Damn, your right. I don’t. I'm sorry"
"No need to apologize"
Liz looks down at her shoulder then back up at him. "Can you ugh...I don’t know take your hand away?"
"Ah" he says removing it, "my apology." After a short pause he continues, "Would you like it if I refrain from touching you?"
"What" she says a bit shocked, "I-um-I don’t know how to answer to that"
"Well I believe you would say something along the lines of 'Yes' or 'No'" he says casually.
"Yes-I mean no it’s fine"
"You seem hesitant"
"No really its fine"
He peers at her avidly then gives a short smile. "Very well then"
It’s not that bad she says to herself. And it’s true. He is delicate and she has got to admit, it feels...sincere. Maybe she'll grow fond of it or maybe grow tired and one day lash out from the lack of sleep. But at the current moment it’s perfectly fine.
