Mount Olympus [7]

Nic

I smile and nod slowly, glancing at my phone.

Jackie

I remember something, "Can...can I ask you something?"

Nic

I glance up at her and nod, "Yeah. Anything."

Jackie

I clear my throat awkwardly, glancing at the window casually, "Were you wearing protection, Nic?"

Nic

I swallow, scratching the back of my neck, "What happened was pretty sudden, Jacks..."

Jackie

I swallow, "But you knew it was going to happen. You warned me."

Nic

I look at her, "My mind doesn't work that way. I-I don't think before I act or before I speak. It just happens. I...I couldn't think with everything happening. My emotions took over."

Jackie

I hesitate before nodding, taking a deep breath, "Okay. It's okay."

Nic

I study her before moving closer and wrapping an arm around her, not sure what to say.

Jackie

I glance at him, sighing.

Nic

I slip into thought before looking back at her, "We're back to the same old question. What do you wanna do?"

Jackie

I shrug, "I'm just thinking."

Nic

I study her, "About what?"

Jackie

I sigh, "What might happen."

Nic

I nod and look down for a little before glancing at her again, "I won't leave you, if it does. I love you."
