JJ was on her fourth visit to New Orleans seeing Will. She was sitting on the couch waiting for him to change; he had picked her up as soon as he got off work. JJ realized that she was already comfortable around Will; he made her feel important, beautiful, and safe. She was not used to feeling like this about anyone, she couldn't help but smile.

"What's that smile for?" Will asked walking back in the room

"Just thinking" JJ responded

"Thinking about what" He was trying to get her to open up. Will had discovered JJ was an extremely private person; she didn't like to share her feelings or thoughts easily with anyone.

"You actually" she responded looking at her hands

"Me, what about me" As he sat on the couch

They had not discussed if they were more than friends. Will was hoping for more, he didn't want to push her.

"Just that I like being here with you" she told me almost in a whisper

"Good because I like you being here." He responded with a smile

"Why?" she was still trying to figure him out

"Why?" he repeated

"Yes, why do you like me being here" she asked still not looking at him

"Jen, is this a trick question?" he looked confused

"No, I'm just wondering." JJ

"Okay, so if I answer your question, then you have to answer mine. Deal" Will

"Will, I'll answer you as long as you're honest" JJ, she needed him to be honest

"Jen, I like just being around you. You're honest, easy to talk too, you listen, and you're" he stopped almost embarrassed

"I'm what" JJ asked

"You're absolutely beautiful. Jen, you are the most caring person I know and with the job you have, most people wouldn't care about the families, yet you do." He took a deep breathe, she wanted him to be honest he was going to be "You don't even realize that every time I see those blue eyes and that smile I fall for you more. I can't help it, I've tried" he finished

She finally looked up at him, his eyes were so warm and sincere, and she believed him. She felt the same way, now to tell him.

"Jen, why do you like being here?" he asked

She promised to be honest "You make me feel safe and that I'm important. You don't push me and at least try to understand when I don't want to talk. I just feel comfortable around you." She stopped for a minute "Will, I'm not good at expressing my feelings and I'll probably try to push you away. I care about you, more than just as a friend. I've never had someone make me feel the way you do by just looking at me."

He moved a little closure to her, trying not push. She smiled at him.

"I don't want things to get weird between us." She told him

"Me either and I don't want you to be uncomfortable. Honey, I have to ask where you want to go from here" he asked

"I don't want us to be just friends" she felt exposed "Right now, will you just hold me"

"You don't have to ask me twice" as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Thank you" JJ

"I'll do anything to make you feel safe and comfortable. Anything Jen" He told her and kissed the top of her head.

She wondered what his lips would feel like against hers, was he wondering the same thing. She took a chance, turning slightly in his arms, looking at him.

"Something wrong?" he asked

"No" she smiled "Kiss me"

He leaned in making sure that she was sure, he slowly put his lips on hers. They both felt the electric run through their bodies. They only parted when they needed to breathe.

"Wow" was all she got out

"I'll kiss you anytime you want, Cher" he told her.

They both laughed.
