This is just a quick one-shot about Lori and Jake's first kiss, and the start off their relationship.

Jake stood in the shadows beside the doorway to the function room, where 'Club Night' was being held, waiting for Lori to emerge. He hadn't just been watching her all night, or since her and Ben had broken up, but ever since he'd first met her, along with the rest of Bond Team. The moment she walked into the Rec room on their first day, she'd caught his eye, and he hadn't been able to stop thinking about her in the nearly two years that had passed since that day. For him it had been love at first sight, but because of Ben, and his rivalry with him since day one, Jake knew Lori had never seen him as anything other than a friend and teammate. But now Ben was out of the way he figured he had a chance with Lori at last.

Jake came back down to earth with a bump as Lori walked out of the doorway to the function room. He held his breath, waiting for the right moment to reveal his presence. He saw her shiver at the change in temperature, and decided that now was the time to let her know he was there. He reached out and brushed her upper arm with his fingertips. She whirled round to face him in surprise.

"Simon, I thought I told you…." She started angrily. She trailed off as she realised it wasn't Simon.

"Do I look like Simon Macey to you?" He asked jokingly.

"No, not at all! I'm sorry but, uh, I keep running into Simon tonight, and well, he's really getting on my nerves, and I-" Lori said nervously, not stopping for breath.

"Relax Lo, its only me," Jake said, stepping nearer to her. He put his hands on her shoulders, massaging them gently as he pulled her closer.

"Jake, what are you doing?" She asked in a whisper.

"I'll explain later" He said smiling, leaning in closer.

"Explain wha-"

He silenced her with his lips. 'Yes,' Lori thought to herself as they kissed, 'Explanations can wait.'
