Praise for Dick Wolf!

The way I look at her. She would never know how I feel. She has been here for so long beside me, keeping me sane as I get more insane about being in people's mind. The way I am is different the way she is. She is sarcastic and more relax than me.

I smell the body's she fills in the gaps. She delivers me information and I interpret it, make it make sense to her and everyone else.

She understands me, more than me and anyone else I know. She knows when to come in and help me. She knows when I need space and what I'm thinking; she knows how I play my games against the criminals we interrogate.

But the one thing she doesn't know is that I love her. The way she smiles and cracks a joke that makes me smile. That gives me an excuse to even smile without giving anything away.

Of course our partnership can't go any further than friends, which one day, hopefully might be able to whisper in her ear on a stakeout together. To whisper those three words that can make us lovers or break our friendship.

I don't how she will react to my words and I guess she never will.

She keeps doing her paperwork like any regular case. She tongue is slightly out and her tapping her pen against her desk.

I know she's thinking, but for once I don't know what about or who.

Her eyes are glued to the sheet in front of her making me even more nervous than ever. She glances up at me with her a questioning look and a little smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" she asks me, with a little glint in her eyes. I smile at her, I could feel myself blushing.

"Nothing," I answer and pick up my pen and slide my eyes to the paperwork in front of me.

"Am I that ugly you wanna study me," she says leaning towards me in her desk, having a smile on her lips. I knew it was a joke; she seemed to make jokes about everything we did in investigations. I smiled back at her.

"No, I look at you because I wanna know how someone so smart and pretty ended up with me," I say, just realizing what I said. Suddenly Alex came over to my desk and sat on my paperwork.

"If you really wanna know, go out with me tonight and we'll see," she murmured to me and walked back around her desk and started her paperwork again. I was shocked and surprised at her. I knew she was joking, maybe not, maybe she knew the way I felt and now she was testing me. Well, I will just have to find out tonight. A smile still plastered on my face.

A/N: I know its short but I it only took me half an hour while watching TV. Please Read and Review! 
