Neve's eyes slipped closed and she made a content little noise as his fingers ran through her hair and he nipped at her lip. "Three a.m. phones calls while I'm working just because I wanted to hear your voice?" she wasn't sure if that was considered crazy, but she wouldn't write it off as something she might do. "Or I've just finished with a really troubling patient." And she was reminded in that moment how she had called Zach's sister Leah after Jake's accident, the memory of that night would probably forever be seared in her mind. "So you'll like any kind of crazy I might throw at you?" She asked, trying to push past the thought of Jake's accident and just how shook up she had been that night.

She was struck again by just how much she loved hearing Jake laugh and chuckle, and she hummed as he kissed along her neck, the noise sounding almost like a content purr. "Of course I think so." She replied quietly, unable to suppress the soft moan and the shiver that went through her at his words and the way he nuzzled her neck. "M'not, but glad you think so." She was very quickly falling for him, wanted a future that included him, even if he didn't exactly understand why that was. She would just continue to remind him that she was picking him, that she wanted him.

"You can call anytime. I don't mind," he murmured. He'd worked nights or series of days being on call at the firehouse. He knew how hard it was, and how sometimes all you wanted when you were tired or heartsore was someone on the other end. "I'd like it if you called me when something's going on." His hands brushed through her hair. That she would turn to him like that warmed his heart. "Yeah, I think I will. So far I've liked it very much." He grinned at her.

That almost purr warmed him greatly. "Y'are too," he argued softly. He thought she really was, and it continually amazed him that she was a part of his life like this. He would try to make sure she believed it too, because if she thought he was, she was doubly so, in his mind.

Somehow just hearing the words from him, knowing he wouldn't mind if she called him at all hours just to hear his voice, it made her feel better. "You'll be my first phone call then." She realized in that moment that Jake was almost always her first phone call when something terrible happened. Giggling, she just shook her head. "Think that makes you a little crazy for enjoying my own personal brand of crazy." She commented, leaning in to press another kiss to the corner of his mouth.

Shaking her head, she laughed softly. "Am not." she argued back, though the smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth proved she was mostly joking now. Though she didn't think she was as amazing as he seemed to think she was, she really wasn't the sort to seriously argue against someone else's opinion.

"Good. I'd like to be that," JAke said. He'd started finding during the summer that she became his first call in most all situations. They'd always been friends, but they'd become even better friends this year, and this felt like a natural progression of that. "Mm, I might be a little, but I also happen to really like your personal brand of crazy," he said, kissing her again.

"Are too," he murmured with a smile, leaning in to press his lips to her cheek gently. They thought each other was special, and that was all that really mattered, and he'd be happy to spend time convincing her of it. He wanted time with her, to see where this would go, to see if he was really falling for her as hard as he thought he might, because he was thinking lately that he really was doing so.

"Honestly, you already are." Neve said, the realization really had struck her that he was. Besides calling Ezra first because he was Erica's friend, Jake had been her second phone call, and that was just one instance over the summer. "Lucky for you I kin of like my guy to be a little crazy as well." She remarked, humming contentedly into the kiss.

"Am not, am not, am not." She chorused before breaking into giggles, feeling particularly happy and silly at the moment, hiding her face against his chest as she laughed. There was no denying that she thought Jake was kind of amazing, and she really did think she was maybe falling for him hard, a fact that both surprised and pleased her.
